Hoe eenvoudig deze film ook lijkt, Stephen Frears My Beautiful Laundrette, The Queen schakelt ontzettend knap tussen aanklacht, drama en komedie. Coogan en Dench zijn fenomenaal. Net als The Magdalene Sisters slaat Philomena een van de zwartste bladzijden open over het Ierse katholicisme, maar hier overwint gelukkig de troost. De Sisters of the Sacred Heart waren uitstekende spindokters, maar de ontroerende vriendschap tussen Philomena Lee en haar journalist is sterker.

Frears vindt de perfecte balans tussen ernst, humor en de spanning van het onderzoek.

Speelduur: 95 minuten Jaar: Dat de rooms-katholieke kerk bepaald geen schone handen heeft is inmiddels algemeen bekend. Je moet wel erg naïef zijn om de vele schandalen en rechtszaken die het Vaticaan omgeven, weg te wuiven. Er is ontzettend veel aandacht voor kindermisbruik en de beerput lijkt nog maar op een kiertje open te staan. Veel minder bekend, maar net zo weerzinwekkend was de positie van jonge, ongehuwde zwangere vrouwen in het katholieke Ierland tot ver in de twintigste eeuw. Het was het onderwerp in onder andere The Magdalene Sisters uit Zwangerschap was voor deze aanstaande moeders een grote zonde. Ze werden in kloosters gestopt, waar ze aan de zware arbeid werden gezet. Daarvoor is de film ook te kalm en bedeesd. Maar als open, eerlijke en lichte karakterstudie behoort Philomena tot de beste in zijn soort. Om u deze content te kunnen laten zien, hebben wij uw toestemming nodig om cookies te plaatsen.

  • Multiculturalism and Creative British South Asian Films Denise Tsang1,A
    2017 3rd Annual International Conference on Modern Education and Social Science (MESS 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-450-9 Multiculturalism and Creative British South Asian Films Denise Tsang1,a,* and Dahlia Zawawi2,b 1Henley Business School, University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading, UK 2Department of Management and Marketing, Universiti Putra Malaysia,Serdang, Malaysia [email protected], [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Multiculturalism, Creativity, Competitiveness, British South Asian Films Abstract. Globalization has enabled countries such as the UK to attain multiculturalism; however, there is no investigation in relation to the advantages of multiculturalism at the film industry level. Multiculturalism is related to the Commonwealth immigration after the Second World War period. The introduction of new cultures into the UK has enabled the growth and development of successful global industries such as the British Urban Music and British Asian Film, which have prospered over time and have now become mainstream export-led industries. Why is cultural diversity significant towards the generation of competitive advantages within the British South Asian film sector? We will explore the country specific advantage of multiculturalism in the UK and their impact on creativity of screenwriters that has contributed to successful films in the industry. Introduction Multiculturalism has been defined by Libretti as a ‘careful attention to and respect for a diversity of cultural perspectives’ [1]. Berry explained the concept in terms of the maintenance of cultural heritage and the relationships sought among cultural groups as shown in the following figure [2]. Figure 1 shows that if a society enables individuals from cultural minority groups to maintain their cultural uniqueness while establishing relationships with the core cultural groups, multiculturalism is achieved.

  • 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.

    BAFTA HERITAGE SCREENING Thursday 16 April 2O15 BAFTA 195 Piccadilly MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE London W1J 9LN Followed by a Q&A with STEPHEN FREARS and HANIF KUREISHI CBE Hosted by LESLIE FELPERIN My Beautiful Laundrette exploded onto our screens thirty years ago and cemented the reputation of director Stephen Frears as one of our most original and distinguished film makers. The film’s screenplay, by Hanif Kureishi, was a landmark debut that received a BAFTA nomination and established Kureishi as a major screenwriting talent. The film became an international success and received wide critical acclaim. The film critic Roger Ebert reviewed the film on its US release and is reproduced here in an edited version.

  • Realism and Formalism Even Before 1900, Movies Began to Develop in Two ­Major Directions: the Realistic and the For- Malistic
    Realism and Formalism Even before 1900, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and the for- malistic. In the mid‑1890s in France, the Lumière brothers delighted audiences with their short movies dealing with everyday occurrences. Such films as The Arrival of a Train (4–4a) fascinated viewers precisely because they seemed to capture the flux and spontaneity of events as they were viewed in real life. At about the same time, Georges Méliès (pronounced mel‑yez) was creating a number of fantasy films that emphasized purely imagined events. Such movies as A Trip to the Moon (4–4b) were typical mixtures of whimsical narrative and trick photogra‑ phy. In many respects, the Lumières can be regarded as the founders of the realist tradition of cinema, and Méliès of the formalist tradition. Realism and formalism are general rather than absolute terms. When used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end they’re just labels. Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgot‑ ten. Realism is a particular style, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material—how they shape and ma‑ nipulate it—is what determines their stylistic emphasis. Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of reality with a mini‑ mum of distortion.

  • Queer Intimacy and the Impasse: Reconsidering My Beautiful Laundrette Vinh Nguyen
    ariel: a review of international english literature Vol. 48 No. 2 Pages 155–166 Copyright © 2017 The Johns Hopkins University Press and the University of Calgary Perspectives Queer Intimacy and the Impasse: Reconsidering My Beautiful Laundrette Vinh Nguyen Abstract: This essay reconsiders the queer interracial relationship in Hanif Kureishi and Stephen Frears’ seminal film My Beautiful Laundrette (1985). Rather than analyze the romance between the main protagonists as a national and personal union that resolves complex racial issues, I argue that Omar and Johnny’s relation- ship makes room for the possibility of connection and contact, however fraught and tenuous, without denying histories of racial violence or flattening out forms of difference. As an “impasse” (Berlant), their queer relationship suggests the potential for coex- istence that does not offer reconciliation between the nation and racialized subjects. Through a reading of the film, I suggest that intimacy is not broken by the accommodation of past and present racial injury within its plane of desire. Instead, queer desire defers interracial resolution but does not deny the possibility of intimacy, of something yet to come. Keywords: Black British cinema, South Asian diaspora, queer sexuality, interracial relations, affect Hanif Kureishi and Stephen Frears’ My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) concludes with a scene of queer sensuality in which Omar lathers soap on Johnny’s bare chest before the two playfully splash each other with water in the back room of the laundrette they operate together. The distinctive bubbling music of the movie’s soundtrack is heard before a door closes to conceal the lovers from our prying eyes.

  • Bend It Like Beckham
    Bend It Like Beckham Dir. Gurinder Chadha, UK/Germany 2002, Certificate 12A Introduction Bend It Like Beckham was one of the surprise hits of 2002, making over £11,000,000 at the UK Box Office and hitting a chord with a range of audiences at cinemas. A vibrant and colourful British comedy about a young girl from a Sikh family who desperately wants to play football against the wishes of her traditional parents, the film can be seen to follow the path of other recent British-Asian films such as Bhaji on the Beach, Anita and Me and East Is East in its examination of culture clashes and family traditions. Bend It Like Beckham takes these themes and adds extra ingredients to the dish – football, Shakespearean confusions over identity and sexuality, in-jokes about both British pop culture and the Sikh way of life, and a music soundtrack mixing a range of East/West sounds and musical styles. It is also useful to look at Bend It Like Beckham within a wider context of the British Asian experience in popular culture and media, such as portrayal of Asian culture on television including Ali G, Goodness Gracious Me, families in soaps such as Coronation Street and EastEnders – even the new Walkers Crisps advert has Gary Lineker in a mini-Bollywood musical - and the Asian language, music and fashion that has now flowed into the mainstream. © Film Education 2003 1 Film Synopsis Jesminder (known as Jess) is a Sikh teenager living in Hounslow, who loves to play football. Her parents disapprove, wanting her to settle down, get a job as a lawyer and marry a nice Indian boy.

Joint introduction about the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) and its activities in the field of fiction by Liselott Forsman, YLE and Head of the EBU Fiction Experts Group and Jeroen Depraetere, EBU, Head of TV followed by a debate. In a pivotal year for numerous public European channels, Série Series is joining forces with the EBU to discuss their distinctiveness in an ultra-competitive landscape. In a world governed by images, where communication plays a predominant role and where financial investments are on the rise, where do public broadcasters stand? What content, what stories can and should they tell? Does drama have a cultural role? A responsibility? If so, what is it? What audience should it be aimed at? Do public television services have the necessary weapons to continue to attract talent, to remain appealing to their public and to face the challenges of a globalised economy? A debate that involves the broadcasters in question, but also creators, and will put the French frame of mind into perspective.

  • Victoria & Abdul Simulacra & Simulation
    The past is never dead. It's not even past NOT EVEN PAST Search the site ... Victoria & Abdul: Simulacra & Simulation Like 0 Tweet by Gajendra Singh University of Exeter Posted in partnership with the History Department at the University of Exeter and The Imperial and Global Forum. One of the earliest lms to be shot and then screened throughout India were scenes from the Delhi Durbar between December 29, 1902 and January 10, 1903 The Imperial Durbar, created to celebrate the accession of Edward VII as Emperor of India following the death of Victoria, was the most expensive and elaborate act of British Imperial pageantry that had ever been attempted. Nathaniel Curzon, as Viceroy of India, oversaw the construction of a tent city housing 150,000 guests north of Delhi proper and what occurred in Delhi was to be replicated (on a smaller scale) in towns and cities across India. The purpose of the Durbar was to contrast British modernity with Indian tradition. Europeans at the Durbar were instructed to dress in contemporary styles even when celebrating an older British Imperial past (as with veterans of the ‘Mutiny’). Indians, however, were to wear Oriental (perceptibly Oriental) costumes as motifs of their Otherness. This construction of an exaggerated sense of Imperial difference, and through it Imperial order and Imperial continuity, was signicant. It was a statement of the permanence of Empire, of Britain’s Empire being at the vanguard of modernity even as the Empire itself was increasingly anxious about nascent nationalist movements and rocked by perpetual Imperial crises. It’s unlikely that Stephen Frears watched these lms from 1902 or 1903 upon nalising the screenplay and then shooting Victoria & Abdul.
