Romeo und Julia im Schnee (Romeo e Giulietta sulla neve) è stato Romeo und Julia im Schnee has been chosen for the opening scelto come film d’apertura delle Giornate 2015 perché la nuova show of this year’s Giornate because this restoration by the copia del Filmarchiv Austria ci consente di vedere il brillante “jeu Austrian Film Archive enables us to see Lubitsch’s brilliant jeu d’esprit” di Lubitsch esattamente come lo videro i suoi primi d’esprit exactly as it appeared to its fortunate first audiences 95 fortunati spettatori 95 anni fa. La copia è stata stampata dal negativo years ago. The film has been printed from the original negative, 21 Romeo und Julia im Schnee, Ernst Lubitsch, 1920.

Romeo und Julia im Schnee fu l’ultima della ventina di brevi commedie This was the last of the score of short comedies which Lubitsch dirette da Lubitsch per la Maxim-Film GmbH e distribuite dalla Union directed for Maxim-Film GmbH, for release by Union (later (in seguito Union-UFA) fra il 1915 e i 1920, prima che egli raggiungesse Union-UFA), between 1915 and 1920, when he moved on rinomanza mondiale con i suoi “kolossal” storici. Le commedie furono definitively to world fame with his succession of “Kolossal” scarsamente distribuite all’estero fino a quando Das Cabinet des Dr. costume productions. The comedies had little foreign distribution Caligari e Madame Dubarry dello stesso Lubitsch non iniziarono a until The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Lubitsch’s own Madame rompere l’embargo sulle esportazioni tedesche, ufficiali e non ufficiali; Dubarry began to break down post-war embargoes on German ma rimangono tuttora non adeguatamente apprezzate all’estero: nel exports, official and unofficial; and are still not adequately 1993, il biografo americano di Lubitsch poteva ancora liquidare Romeo appreciated abroad: in 1993 Lubitsch’s American biographer und Julia im Schnee come se si trattasse di “un’operina trascurabile, che could still write off Romeo und Julia im Schnee as having Lubitsch aveva girato con la mano sinistra”. Oggi in realtà possiamo the feeling of “a throwaway, something Lubitsch was not fully apprezzare come la sua commedia rifletta proprio il grande diletto di engaged by”. Today we appreciate better how it glitters with Lubitsch nell’esercitare un controllo totale sull’aspetto visivo e sul Lubitsch’s pleasure in his total mastery of visual and character carattere di ogni singolo personaggio. comedy. Il film fu distribuito quasi in contemporanea con il precedente film It was released almost simultaneously with Lubitch’s previous di Lubitsch, un altro “scherzo” scespiriano: Kohlhiesel’s Töchter, una film, another Shakespearean jest: Kohlhiesel’s Töchter, versione moderna della Bisbetica domata, trasposta nella Baviera rurale. an updating of The Taming of the Shrew, relocated in rural Henny Porten, in un doppio ruolo, caratterizza brillantemente le due Bavaria.

Romeo und Julia im Schnee ne costituisce un degno pendant. Essendo Romeo und Julia im Schnee is a worthy companion piece. As stato uno degli attori di Reinhardt, Lubitsch era fin troppo familiare a Reinhardt actor, Lubitsch was all too familiar with Romeo con Romeo e Giulietta, un titolo perennemente presente nel and Juliet, a perennial favourite in the company repertoire.

Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.

  • The American Indian in the American Film
    THE AMERICAN INDIAN IN THE AMERICAN FILM Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in American Studies in the University of Canterbury by Michael J. Brathwaite 1981 ABSTRACT This thesis is a chronological examination of the ways in which American Indians have been portrayed in American 1 f.ilms and the factors influencing these portrayals. B eginning with the literary precedents, the effects of three wars and other social upheavals and changes are considered. In addition t-0 being the first objective detailed examination of the subj�ct in English, it is the first work to cover the last decade. It concludes that because of psychological factors it is unlikely that film-makers are - capable of advancing far beyond the basic stereotypes, and that the failure of Indians to appreciate this has repeatedly caused ill-feeling between themselves and the film-makers, making the latter abandon their attempts at a fair treatment of the Indians. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iii Chapter I: The Background of the Problem c.1630 to c.1900. 1 Chapter II: The Birth of the Cinema and Its Aftermath: 1889 to 1939. 21 Chapter III: World War II and Its Effects: 1940 to 1955. 42 Chapter IV: Assimilation of Separatism?: 1953 to 1965. 65 Chapter V: The Accuracy Question. 80 Chapter VI: Catch-22: 1965 to 1972. 105 Chapter VII: Back to the Beginning: 1973 to 1981. 136 Chapter VIII: Conclusion. 153 Bibliography 156 iii PREFACE The aim of this the.sis is to examine the ways in which the American Indians have been portrayed in American films, the influences on their portrayals, and whether or not they have changed.
