  • The Only Defense Is Excess: Translating and Surpassing Hollywood’S Conventions to Establish a Relevant Mexican Cinema”*
    ANAGRAMAS - UNIVERSIDAD DE MEDELLIN “The Only Defense is Excess: Translating and Surpassing Hollywood’s Conventions to Establish a Relevant Mexican Cinema”* Paula Barreiro Posada** Recibido: 27 de enero de 2011 Aprobado: 4 de marzo de 2011 Abstract Mexico is one of the countries which has adapted American cinematographic genres with success and productivity. This country has seen in Hollywood an effective structure for approaching the audience. With the purpose of approaching national and international audiences, Meximo has not only adopted some of Hollywood cinematographic genres, but it has also combined them with Mexican genres such as “Cabaretera” in order to reflect its social context and national identity. The Melodrama and the Film Noir were two of the Hollywood genres which exercised a stronger influence on the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. Influence of these genres is specifically evident in style and narrative of the film Aventurera (1949). This film shows the links between Hollywood and Mexican cinema, displaying how some Hollywood conventions were translated and reformed in order to create its own Mexican Cinema. Most countries intending to create their own cinema have to face Hollywood influence. This industry has always been seen as a leading industry in technology, innovation, and economic capacity, and as the Nemesis of local cinema. This case study on Aventurera shows that Mexican cinema reached progress until exceeding conventions of cinematographic genres taken from Hollywood, creating stories which went beyond the local interest. Key words: cinematographic genres, melodrama, film noir, Mexican cinema, cabaretera. * La presente investigación fue desarrollada como tesis de grado para la maestría en Media Arts que completé en el 2010 en la Universidad de Arizona, Estados Unidos.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Twentieth-century American culture has been dominated by a preoccupation with image. The supremacy of image has been promoted and refined by cinema which has sustained its place as America’s foremost cultural and artistic medium. Vision as a perceptual mode is also a compelling and dynamic aspect central to Nabokov’s creative imagination. Film was a fascination from childhood, but Nabokov’s interest in the medium extended beyond his experiences as an extra and his attempts to write for screen in Berlin in the 1920s and ’30s, or the declared cinematic novel of 1938, Laughter in the Dark and his screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 film version of Lolita.

  • 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.

No picture star in the world but Greta Garbo has been able to keep her private life so nearly a closed book. The stories written about the great Swedish star tell almost nothing about the real Garbo as she is to-day. Very little is known about her childhood in Sweden. “I was born. I had a father and mother. I lived in a house. I went to school. What does it matter?” she says in answer to questions about her early life. During her romance with Jack Gilbert, Garbo did give a few interviews.

  • Flesh and the Devil
    FLESH AND THE DEVIL. Dir. Clarence Brown. USA, MGM, 1926. 113 min. Black and white, silent. DVD, Turner Classic Movies, 2005 Several events of 1926 made it a pivotal year in the history of American film: • Warner Brothers introduced Vitaphone, the first commercially viable sound-on- film technology, when it released the first major “talkie” - an adaptation of Byron’s Don Juan which featured racy a lines as well as a kiss a minute. • Rudolph Valentino (“the great lover”) died shortly after completing The Son of the Sheik, a film parodied in The World’s Greatest Lover (1977). • Greta Garbo strode onto the American screen, at the age of twenty-one, as the femme fatale in Flesh and the Devil, costarring John Gilbert. The events went together in strange ways. Enflamed by his very real passion for Garbo, Gilbert quickly replaced Valentino as the sexiest man in Hollywood. Meanwhile, the new voice technology took some of the ambiguity out of film. (Was the sheik’s son a rapist? film critics have long asked, and might have decided had there been a soundtrack.) Under pressure to regulate itself, the Motion Picture Association of America, founded in 1922, began to develop its own production code. The so-called Hays Code (so called because formulated by the Association’s first president, Will Hays, who had previously served as manager of Warren G. Harding presidential campaign) established standards that came into effect in 1930 and officially guided the large studios until the current rating system was introduced in 1967. Section II of the code, “Sex,” began with the statement “The sanctity of the institution of marriage and the home shall be upheld.
