I entre todos ellos0 EL SIRVIENTE. Luego posiblemente podamos considerar 8ue Losey e2periment un largo declive 8ue posiblemente ha influido en el radical olvido de su cine2. .l hecho de mantenerse como una figura aislada0 paralela a la brit;nica eclosin del free cinema y del desembarco de numerosos cineastas internacionales en el swinging London de los sesenta -caso de Polans,i0 Antonioni0 Dubric,0 Truffaut0 Lester0 etc.-0 probablemente ha significado una cierta ?orfandad“ historiogr;fica0 pese a 8ue ni entonces ni ahora pueda dudarse de la condicin autoral de sus me7ores traba7os. .n .spaa concretamente0 EL SIRVIENTE fue un auténtico fenmeno0 un film m<tico entre los 8ue abrieron en el otoo de 1967 1a categor<a de ?arte y ensayo“0 8ue signific la irrupcin del cine en versin original subtitulada (y en principio sin cortes de censura) en nuestras pantallas. Hasta tal punto fue as<0 8ue el film de Losey se convirti en uno de los grandes é2itos de la especialidad0 con m;s de cien d<as en cartel cuando su estreno en el cine Savoy de Barcelona y con una reiterad<sima presencia en todos los cine clubs de la geograf<a espaola. I sin embargo0 J8uién la recuerda hoyK :n olvido in7usto0 sin duda0 puesto 8ue EL SIRVIENTE sigue manteniendo muchos de los valores 8ue fundamentaron su é2ito entonces. Por una parte este f<lm iniciaba una feli9 colaboracin entre Joseph Losey y el autor teatral Harold Pinter0 uno de los escritores inscritos en el movimiento de los angry young men0 8ue luego se prolongar<a a Accidente y El mensajero. De hecho0 los importantes 1 Recordemos films del período americano como El muchacho del pelo verde (The boy with green hair , 1948), The lawless (1949) y El merodeador (The prowler, 1950), mientras que en los inicios británicos destacan El tigre dormido (The Sleeping Tiger, 1954), Intimidad con un extraño (The Intimate Stranger, 1955) o Time Without Pity (1956), aunque realmente no recuperó cierta notoriedad hasta La clave del enigma (Blind Date, 1959) y El criminal (The Criminal, 1960). 2 ¿Alguien recuerda hoy día films “multinacionales”, no necesariamente despreciables, como El asesinato de Trostky (The Assassination of Trostky, 1 972), Una inglesa romántica (The Romantic Englishwoman, 1974), El otro señor Klein (Mr. Klein, 1975), Las rutas del sur (Les routes du Sud, 1978) o Don Giovanni (Don Giovanni, 1979)? or<genes escénicos de Losey -con su conocimiento directo de Piscator o Bretch- pod<an facilitar la compenetracin entre guionista y director0 algo 8ue no disimula la componente teatral del filmL pero ser<a errneo suponer 8ue pese a la claustrofobia del relato -casi todo él ubicado en el interior de la aristocr;tica y londinense mansin georgiana de Tony- y la limitada nmina de persona7es principales0 nos encontramos ante un film ?de c;mara“. O en todo caso0 si as< fuese se ver<a trascendido por la barroca y virtuosa puesta en escena de Losey0 e7emplo perfecto de 8ue un film es mucho m;s 8ue una idea argumental o unos di;logos pertinentes. .s en esa puesta en escena0 en la comple7a composicin de los encuadres (con una presencia eminente de los espe7os0 metafrica referencia a la idea del desdoblamiento o la inversin de las figuras centrales del relato)L en los incluso alambicados movimientos de c;mara desarrollados por Douglas Slocombe0 desde la grNa inicial hasta los travellings circulares 8ue también metafricamente encierran a los persona7esL en la e2plotacin efica9 de las relaciones entre los actores y los atinados decorados de ichard McDonaldL o en la e2celente direccin de actores0 donde 7unto a la definitiva consagracin del inmenso Dir, Bogarde (Hugo Barrett) se cuenta con la sorprendente eficacia del casi desconocido James 1o2 (Tony) -hi7o de uno de los productores del film- y la e2celencia de Sarah Miles (Vera)0 pie9a fundamental en la estrategia de Hugo respecto a Tony. Todo ese arsenal de medios narrativos y de puesta en escena est;n al servicio de una par;bola en torno a las relaciones entre amo y sirviente. .ntendida ya en su momento como una plasmacin f<lmica de las refle2iones hegelianas (pre-mar2istas0 por tanto) sobre la dialéctica amo-criado0 EL SIRVIENTE reconstruye el proceso de despo7amiento del poder del amo (el elegante y melifluo aristcrata Tony) por parte de un sirviente e28uisitamente ?profesional“ 8ue0 devenido imprescindible por la incapacidad del amo0 no slo se har; con el poder de la casa0 sino 8ue le encaminar; hacia su destruccin moral mediante un plan casi diablicamente tra9ado y desarrollado. .sa inversin de las relaciones de poder ad8uiere obvias resonancias se2uales -desde la inclusin de Vera como supuesta hermana de Hugo (siendo su amante) e instrumento de sometimiento de Tony hasta la descarada solucin homose2ual de las relaciones entre Hugo y Tony0 despla9ando a la novia Susan (3endy Craig)- y por tanto desborda la relacin profesional para alcan9ar una dimensin casi e2istencial. Pero repit;moslo: la importancia de EL SIRVIENTE no deriva de la significacin ideolgica de su argumento0 ni en la adecuacin de los di;logos0 ni en la agude9a de su observacin de las relaciones de clase en la Gran Bretaa de los aos sesenta. EL SIRVIENTE fue y sigue siendo un film importante gracias a la capacidad de e2presar todo eso mediante la idoneidad y brillante9 de su puesta en escenaL es decir0 de su intr<nseco valor cinematogr;fico0 algo tal ve9 tan olvidado hoy como in7ustamente el propio nombre de Joseph Losey.

  • Rever Joseph Losey — Cineasta Essencial
    www.medeiafilmes.com | www.medeiafilmes.com M/12 A Leopardo Filmes está a preparar aquela que será seguramente a primeira ‘grande operação’ cinéfila de 2021, com início marcado para o dia 19 de Abril, no cinema Medeia Nimas: um importante ciclo dedicado a um dos maiores cineastas da segunda metade do século XX, Joseph Losey (1909-1984), com a exibição, em várias salas do país, de seis das suas obras mais importantes, em cópias digitais restauradas. Losey foi um cineasta extremamente inventivo, com uma energia subversiva capaz de surpreender a cada filme. A perseguição de que foi alvo na América mccarthista (por causa da sua ligação a grupos de teatro de esquerda; em 1947 colaborara com Brecht numa produção de “Galileo”), levou-o a deixar os Estados Unidos em 1952 e a exilar-se em Inglaterra, refazendo, depois de alguns anos de muitas dificuldades, a sua carreira em Londres, onde viria a realizar várias das suas obras maiores, que se tornaram marcos fundamentais do cinema britânico. Nessa altura já os Angry Young Men andavam à solta (Osborne, Sillitoe e as suas ligações aos jovens cineastas vindos do ‘free cinema’), surgira a poesia de Larkin, e a crítica de Al Alvarez ou John Berger. Harold Pinter foi um dos seus colaboradores mais próximos, e um amigo. Trabalhou com actores como Dirk Bogarde, Michael Redgrave, Stanley Baker, James Fox, Sarah Miles, Jeanne Moreau, Delphine Seyrig, Monica Vitti, Michael Caine, Julie Christie, Elisabeth Taylor, Mia Farrow, Robert Micthum, Isabelle Huppert, Alain Delon, entre outros. Os seus filmes mais fascinantes são aqueles que resultam da necessidade urgente de dar forma à sua visão no grande ecrã; o seu exílio na Inglaterra moldou essa visão, levando-o a identificar-se ainda mais com os outsiders que retratara ao longo da sua filmografia de sucesso.

  • THE GREAT WAR: a CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS at Moma on the CENTENARY of the START of WORLD WAR I
    THE GREAT WAR: A CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS AT MoMA ON THE CENTENARY OF THE START OF WORLD WAR I The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy August 4—September 21, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, July 8, 2014–Opening on the 100th anniversary of the day World War I began, The Museum of Modern Art’s The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy runs from August 4 through September 21, 2014, highlighting 60 feature-length films and thematic programs that attempt to provide a comprehensive view of the war as portrayed in film. The various films focus on prewar activities; espionage; the battlefields in the trenches, in the air, and on and beneath the sea; actualités; and the various homefronts before, during, and after the war. Familiar films, such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962), along with several lesser-known works from as far away as New Zealand—including Chunuk Bair (1992)—reflect the universality of a war that reshaped the prevailing values of what passed for civilization. In August, the program is predominately drawn from the early years, either during the war or in the succeeding decades, and includes several silent films. The program in September will concentrate mainly on later, more contemporary films up to, and including, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse (2011). The Great War is organized by Charles Silver, Curator, with Dave Kehr, Adjunct Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Many of the films in the series deal with the entrenched stalemate in France, including Verdun, Vision d’Histoire (Verdun, Vision of History) (1928) directed by Leon Poirier.

I died in hell— / (They called it Passchendaele).1 —Siegfried Sassoon Prologue: British Commemorations of the Great War in the 1960s n Awake in the Dark, Roger Ebert makes a case to include the Seventh Art as part of the Pulitzer Prize awards: “It’s time for America’s most important honor in the arts to be I extended to America’s most important contribution to the arts.”2 The dawn of that contribution began during the First World War, and subsequently a large number of films about the war were produced in the ensuing years. However, after 1945, not only did the number of Great War films wither, but also directors “[…] became almost obsessed with the Second World War—the nation’s last great triumph. 1914-1918, often seen as the beginning of national decline, was painful to recall and, thus, ignored by British cinema.”3 In August 1963, for the occasion of the upcoming 50th commemoration of the First World War, the BBC decided to produce a massive twenty-six episode series, The Great War, each one lasting forty minutes. In The Great War on the Small Screen: Representing the First World War in Contemporary Britain, Emma Hanna writes that, starting with the first episode 1 The first verses of his poem, “Memorial Tablet (Great War),” written in 1918 and published in his collection, Picture-Show (New York: E.P.

GENRE, ICONOGRAPHY AND BRITISH LEGAL FILM Steve Greenfieldt Guy Osborntt Peter Robsonttt There is now a huge range of work to be found in the field of law and film. The scholarship varies enormously both in terms of quality and its approach. lOne thing that is marked within the research that has been conducted is the initial centrality of work emanating from the United States. This is undoubtedly a reflection, in part, of the significance of Hollywood, to the global film audience. Historically little attention has been devoted to material produced 'locally', whether within Europe or beyond.

  • Intimate Stranger: the Early British films of Joseph Losey Neil Sinyard
    Intimate stranger: the early British films of Joseph Losey neil sinyard In Hollywood you’re still one of the bad boys. (The Intimate Stranger) He doesn’t like the world. It’s a good beginning. (The Damned) E soul, Dirk Bogarde confessed to being reduced to tears by the rave review in The Times when The Servant was premièred at the end of 1963. For Bogarde, this prestigious endorsement of his extraordinary performance as Barrett, the man-servant who brings the life of the aristocrat he serves crashing down about his ears, was a career turning-point, the fulfilment of his ambition to be recognised as a major screen actor and not simply a matinee idol. It marked a similar culmination for its director, Joseph Losey, who, after seeking work in England following his blacklisting in Hollywood during the McCarthy period, had struggled for a decade with, as he saw it, indifferent scripts, philistine producers and studio conformity. In an interview in Films and Filming in October 1963, he had declared: ‘The Servant is the only picture I have ever made in my life where there was no interference from beginning to end, either on script, casting, cutting, music or on anything else. The result, whether the film succeeds or not, whether one likes the film or not, at least it’s something I can defend as being mine. It is all of one piece.’ As a film-struck teenager, I saw The Servant when it was first released and can recall being utterly bowled over by it. At that time, infected by a fashionable disdain towards British cinema in comparison with the panache I have written over twenty books on film, including studies of Richard Lester, Nicolas Roeg and Jack Clayton.
