Giornale Maggio (r.e.) Forse ci siamo. Fissata per il prossimo 13 luglio, l’uscita del nuovo Harry Potter in piena estate promette di man- dare finalmente in archivio le eterne polemiche sulle stagioni “corte” del mercato italiano, allineando il nostro Paese agli standard europei e americani di programmazione. Se ne parla da almeno vent’anni e l’avvento dei multiplex – macchine costose, costruite non certo per sonnecchiare nei mesi di canicola – ha accelerato ulteriormente la necessità di por fine ad un’anomalia tutta italiana, dovuta più alle consuetudini delle conduzioni familiari in uso presso la nostra “industria” che alle effettive controindicazioni dell’estate mediterranea. Prova ne sia che in Spagna la stagione cinematografica non conosce interruzioni. Basterà soltanto un film? No, con tutta evidenza, ma c’è da credere che la scommessa Warner (dis- tributrice in Italia di Harry Potter e l’ordine della Fenice, il nuovo capitolo dell’avventurosa saga del maghetto, ormai cre- sciuto) finirà per trascinare la concorrenza, costringendo l’intera distribuzione a misurarsi con le esigenze di un’offerta competitiva anche sotto il sole di luglio. Ed anche per sale e circuiti si tratterà dunque di rimodellare la propria presen- za sul mercato, riducendo lo spazio solitamente dedicato alle riprese (già falcidiate dal proliferare dei Dvd e del down- loading più o meno legale) a tutto favore delle nuove prime visioni. Un’estate al cinema – il nostro consueto riepilogo della stagione uscente – prenderà conseguentemente il via nei primi giorni di agosto, mentre il cinema all’aperto di San Polo, orfano di ulteriori quarantamila euro per via dei tagli di bilancio, aprirà la sera di venerdì 10 agosto, per poi protrarsi con i film della Mostra sino al 9 settembre. Sarà un’estate di transizione, interlocutoria, intenta ad appurare – nei compor- tamenti del pubblico – l’effettiva efficacia della stagione “lunga”. Anche da noi.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

Daar treft hij zijn zus, met wie hij nooit gesproken heeft over de tijd dat ze door het regime gevangen was gezet, en zijn moeder, die dementerend is. De kunstenaar in Abdolah besluit mee te gaan in de ‘fictieve wereld’ die zijn moeder regelmatig betreedt en haar niet te corrigeren. Uiteindelijk realiseert hij haar grootste wens (met hem naar Mekka te gaan) door haar mee te nemen naar de grote moskee in Abu Dhabi. In het verhaal van hun ontmoeting speelt ook Abdolahs fascinatie voor het kunstmatige (fictionele) Dubai een rol. Daarnaast raakt hij gecharmeerd van de steeds opduikende gastvrouw Nastaran die mogelijk een van de buitenlandse agenten van het Iraanse regime is. Fictie en non-fictie lopen op diverse manieren door elkaar en dat is het meest intrigerende aspect van dit niet van een genreaanduiding voorziene, zeer persoonlijke boek. Abdolahs stijl is er nog steeds niet een voor fijnproevers, maar is minder exotisch dan eerder het geval was. F.

  • The Structure of Repetition in the Cinema: Three Hollywood Genres
    The Structure of Repetition in the Cinema: Three Hollywood Genres Inbar Shaham Open University of Israel, Department of Literature, Language, and the Arts Abstract The structure of repetition, as Meir Sternberg (1978) defines it, consists in the repeated presentation of a fabulaic event along the text continuum. It has three types of component members: (1) forecast (e.g., command, scenario); (2) enactment (represent- ing the forecast’s objective realization, as communicated by an authorized narrator); and (3) report (about an enactment, a forecast, or another report, all delivered by some character). This research examines the repetition structure in cinematic narrative: specifically, in heist, adventure, and military operation films. Throughout, the argu- ment proceeds with special reference to these genres, as well as to the cinema’s medium, practice, and conventions in general, often citing literary parallels or precedents for comparison. It examines the different elements that serve to (re)compose the repetition structure for certain ends; the types of member brought together within the structure; their size, number, forms of transmission, order of appearance, representational pro- portion, and possible interrelations (overlap, partial overlap, contradiction, expansion or summary of a previous member). Above all, the analysis relates these interplays themselves to the structure’s functions at the level of plot, meaning, and rhetoric, notably including their generic variations, as exemplified by the three focal genres. This article is based on parts of my doctoral dissertation, “Repetition Structure in the Cinema: From Communicational Exigency to Poetic Device” (Tel Aviv University, 2010). For details, see the appendix. I would like to thank Meir Sternberg for his generous and invaluable guid- ance in all stages of this research, from a BA seminar through an MA thesis and a PhD dissertation to this present publication.

Rated PG-13 for action/adventure violence. ….… Runtime: 143 min TRIVIA The final cannon shot during the Black Pearl's siege of the town, billows into a Mickey Mouse head shape against the night sky. The Jolly Roger that the Black Pearl flies is a skull and crossed swords, which had originally been flown by historical pirate John "Calico Jack" Rackham who is most famous for having the two most famous female pirates of the Caribbean in his crew, Mary Read and Anne Bonney. *This is a common mistake. John Rackham's flag was actually a chipped skull with two swords, not the infamous Jolly Roger, which no known pirate ever actually sailed under. In the cave at Isla de Muerte, one of Barbossa’s pirates can be seen with what appears to be a smoking beard. According to the legends of Blackbeard (a famous pirate) he used to attach slow burning fuses to his beard before a raid. The substance sprayed on William Turner after the sword fight between him and Captain Jack Sparrow is actually powdered chocolate.
