For decades now, filmmakers have grasped at the visionary filmmakers anxious to break away from authenticity that came so natural to Cassavetes’ work by following his DIY Hollywood convention and reinvent the form. In approach—hand-held cameras, available lighting, friends and family as cast the United States, there was John Cassavetes. (often and most notably his wife Gena Rowlands), and above all, financing Born in New York City in 1929, Cassavetes made by second-mortgage and sky-high credit. The blessedly mixed results— his filmmaking debut at age 30 with SHADOWS, alternately amateurish and transcendent—all point back to an influence so a landmark of independent cinema that broke fresh and ahead of his time that we still haven’t caught up to him: Cassavetes. new ground not just in terms of what a film could See the reverse side for full calendar of films and dates, including a be, but how and why.

  • DIRECTORS GUILD of AMERICA: FIFTIETH ANNIERSARY TRIBUTE ELAINE MAY, November 17 LOUIS MALLE, December 8
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1986 DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA: FIFTIETH ANNIERSARY TRIBUTE ELAINE MAY, November 17 LOUIS MALLE, December 8 Elaine May and Louis Malle will be honored by The Museum of Modern Art as part of the ongoing DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA: FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE. Ms. May, film director, playwright, actress, and comedienne, is the subject of a tribute on Monday, November 17, at 6:00 p.m., when her 1976 revisionist buddy-movie Mikey and Nicky will be screened. Mr. Malle, a provocative director of sensual images who has experimented with a variety of film forms, will present his 1980 film Atlantic City, starring Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon, on Monday, December 8, at 6:00 p.m. In Mikey and Nicky Ms. May tailors the framing and dialogue to the personalities of the actors John Cassavetes and Peter Falk. Convinced that a contract is out for him, Nicky (Cassavetes), a small-time hood, calls his childhood friend Mikey (Falk), a syndicate man. Their one night encounter is the focus of the film. A seemingly casual approach cleverly disguises a tight, carefully-planned structure. From a screenplay by John Guare, Mr. Malle's Atlantic City uses the transitory character of the boardwalk town as a backdrop for a tale of decay and corruption. Mr. Lancaster plays the aging friend and protector of an ambitious nightclub croupier, played by Ms. Sarandon. As a child Ms. May appeared on stage and radio with her father, Jack Berlin. After collaborating with Mike Nichols on stage, radio, and television through the mid-sixties, she made her film acting debut in Clive - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y 10019 Teh 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNARI Telex: 62370MODART - 2 - Donner's Luv (1967) and Carl Reiner's Enter Laughing (1967).

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • John Cassavetes: at the Limits Of
    JOHN CASSAVETES: AT THE LIMITS OF PERFORMANCE A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Cinema Studies in the University of Canterbury by Luke Towart University of Canterbury 2014 Table of Contents Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………………………....1 Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………..2 Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………3 Chapter One: Performative Opposition: A Woman Under the Influence…………………….20 Chapter Two: A New Kind of Acting: Shadows……………………………………………..52 Chapter Three: Documentaries of Performance: Faces……………………………………...90 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………………..122 Bibliography………………………………………………………………………………...134 Filmography………………………………………………………………………………...141 1 Acknowledgements Thank you to Alan Wright, my primary supervisor, and Mary Wiles, my secondary supervisor, for their guidance whilst writing this thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the central role of performance in three of the films of John Cassavetes. 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.

  • Painfully Funny the Complete Directorial Works of Elaine May
    THE BADLANDS COLLECTIVE presents PAINFULLY FUNNY THE COMPLETE DIRECTORIAL WORKS OF ELAINE MAY INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS, LONDON SEPTEMBER 21-23, 2018 PAINFULLY FUNNY THE COMPLETE DIRECTORIAL WORKS OF ELAINE MAY Elaine May is a legend in the world of comedy – acknowledged as an influence by comics such as Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin, Woody Allen and countless others – but her work as a movie director has become curiously and unjustly obscure. While other filmmakers who emerged in the New Hollywood of the 1970s have become venerated icons, Elaine May’s films have fallen out of the conversation, and in some cases have fallen out of circulation entirely. With this retrospective, we’re pleased to bring her back into the limelight and hail her as one of the most brilliant artists from that exalted generation of American directors. May directed four theatrical feature films, three of which resulted in fierce behind-the- scenes battles before they finally reached cinemas, with May fighting to protect the integrity of her vision. Her background in improvisation – developed with the Compass Players, before she and Mike Nichols revolutionised American comedy in the late 1950s – led to her taking an exacting, exploratory approach to filmmaking. She would shoot dozens of takes for a single scene, exhausting every possible variation and often filming with multiple cameras in a constant attempt to capture spontaneous moments of inspiration, humour and truth. When editing she relished pauses, dead spots and extended moments of awkwardness, adding a tension underneath the films’ comic surface. May’s filmmaking style inevitably led to her amassing mountains of footage, missing deadlines, going over budget and falling out of favour with the studios, but it also produced films with an energy, rhythm and edge that distinguishes them from their contemporaries and elevates them beyond genre conventions.
