I identify Cassavetes’ unique approach to performance and analyze its development in A Woman Under the Influence (1974), Shadows (1959) and Faces (1968). In order to contextualize and define Cassavetes’ methodology, I compare and contrast each of these films in relation to two other relevant film movements. Cassavetes’ approach was dedicated to creating alternative forms of performative expression in film, yet his films are not solely independent from filmic history and can be read as being a reaction against established filmic structures. His films revolve around autonomous performances that often defy and deconstruct traditional concepts of genre, narrative structure and character. Cassavetes’ films are deeply concerned with their characters’ isolation and inability to communicate with one another, yet refrain from traditional or even abstract constructions of meaning in favour of a focus on spontaneous, unstructured performance of character. Cassavetes was devoted to exploring the details of personal relationships, identity and social interaction.

  • Worldwide Movie Culture Returns at This Year's Rhode
    Worldwide Movie Culture Returns At This Year’s Rhode Island International Film Festival Entering its 18th year since its founding by George T. Marshall, the founder of the Flicker Arts Collaborate, RIIFF has become a focal point of international films by everyone from up-and-coming filmmakers to highly seasoned actors and directors. Between August 5 and 10 this year, roughly 270 films will be shown including Flavio Alves’ Tom In America, Marcelo Mitnik’s En las nubes (In the Clouds), and Selcuk Zvi Cara’s Mein Leztes Konzert (My Last Concert). Since 2002, the RIIFF has been a qualifying festival for the Academy Awards in short film categories. Numerous stars and celebrities have attended RIIFF over the past decade including Seymour Cassel, Andrew McCarthy, Kim Chan and Michael Showalter. Some have had the honor of receiving the Festival Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2001 it was awarded to Breakfast At Tiffany’s director, Blake Edwards, accepted by his wife, renowned actress Julie Andrews. In 2009, the honor went to the multi-Emmy and Golden Globe nominated Academy Award winner Ernest Borgnine. This year’s recipient is Theodore Bikel, known for originating the role of Captain Van Trapp in “The Sound of Music” on Broadway and Oscar nominated for 1958’s The Defiant Ones. Bikel speaks 10 languages, and will be presenting his film, “Journey 4 Artists” a multi-lingual, musical piece that seeks to bridge cultural gaps through folk music and stories, including Bosnian, Jewish and Arabic samples. It will be paired with Cara’s Mein Leztes Konzert, a short Yiddish film about a composer, which Quirk calls, “A visual poem.

  • Analyze This
    Analyze This Dir: Harold Ramis, USA, 1999 A review by George Larke, University of Sunderland It's parody time again for the gangster genre. Just in case we were tempted into taking the films too seriously, we are reminded that the cinematic gangster and his surroundings are essentially cliché forms. Analyze This, directed by Harold Ramis and starring Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal, takes the post-classical fashion of masculine angst popular in the gangster film from The Godfather (1972) to Donnie Brasco (1995) and mercilessly laughs at it. Ramis, who previously directed another comedy success, Groundhog Day (1993), wrote the script along with Peter Tolan and Kenneth Lonergan. At first glance, the film invites comparison to another gangster parody, Mad Dog and Glory (1993) wherein De Niro played against type, as the "nobody" schmuck, while Bill Murray played the mobster. That film did not work very well. De Niro cannot play the schmuck opposite a comedy gangster it stretches imagination and parody too far. For Analyze This, switching the roles and replacing Murray with Billy Crystal has produced a more fitting character balance. Mob boss, Paul Vitti (De Niro), is suffering from a severe case of "work-related stress". The biggest meeting of New York crime bosses since the Appalachian gathering of 1957 is imminent. He's just witnessed the assassination of one of his best friends and certain associates are suggesting he was involved in ordering it. The panic attacks are getting worse and it's affecting his work in a set-piece interrogation and assassination scene he cannot pull the trigger, much to his henchman's and, more pointedly, the victim's disgust.

  • The Allusive Auteur: Wes Anderson and His Influences
    The Allusive Auteur: Wes Anderson and His Influences By Timothy Penner A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of English, Film and Theatre University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2011 by Timothy Penner i Abstract Writer, producer and director Wes Anderson‘s unusual and idiosyncratic films take place in world which seems to be entirely his own. Often anachronistic and highly stylized, the Andersonian universe looks like little else being shown in contemporary cinemas. Yet, Anderson is also one of the most allusive filmmakers working today. Littered throughout his oeuvre are endless allusions to films, directors, authors and books which have had significant influence on Anderson as an artist. In fact, Anderson‘s films can only be fully appreciated when viewed through the lens of his many sources, since his films emerge as he carefully collects, compiles and crafts his many influences into a sort of collage. In order to understand how this dichotomy operates in Anderson‘s work I examine the influence of several key directors, authors, and films. Through this study I show that one of the things that make Anderson unique is the very way in which he interacts with the sources to which he is alluding. It is his uncommon ability to weave homage and critique together which makes him a truly allusive auteur. ii Acknowledgements It is impossible to embark on any project of this sort without a great deal of guidance from those who have journeyed this road before.
