Newsletter C-7 NEWSLETTER C-7 Welcome to our Yuletide Newsletter. This month, the C in C-7 stands quite firmly for Christmas! 2020 has been the strangest of years, when the C word has meant something altogether different, and it has been a time when we have all had to adjust our lifestyle and our habits. Not least of these will have been our cultural outings, including your weekly film fix at the Phoenix. Who would have thought as we sat watching the wonderful black comedy of eco-film Woman at War or the beautiful and elegiac black and white classic The Last Picture Show in the winter months that the arrival of Spring would also see the early closure of our 2019-2020 programme because of you-know-what. As I write this editorial, Christmas is on the very near horizon, but with the fear for many that it will be largely virtual, with the celebrations muted, and the festive season very much a stay-at-home affair possibly in small family bubbles. We know that the Phoenix will not return until 2021, and even then the restrictions placed on society may mean a very different experience for you our loyal Members. However, in spite of the many difficulties we have all experienced throughout the year, the Phoenix Council members would like to thank you for your fantastic loyalty and remind you of our paraphrase of both Arnold Schgwarzenegger and The Beatles “We’ll be back!” 007 has left the Cinema 2020 will forever be remembered as the year covid-19 entered our lives, bringing death to so many people worldwide, and further wreaking such havoc with society in so many countries. Within the Phoenix community, we have lost valued film-loving friends. At the time of preparing this Newsletter, it is thought that of all the nation states represented at the United Nations (and excluding North Korea and Turkmenistan) just ten countries have escaped the virus, although because of its impact on things like tourism, even those countries have suffered adversely. All of them are (relatively small) island nations in the Pacific Ocean (Samoa, Vanuatu, Tonga, etc.). We have previously commented on how the covid virus has affected film-making, with few feature films possible during the confinement period, and actors and crew unable to work within the social distancing guidelines, although some directors have evidently found ingenious ways to carry on working on their latest projects. Meanwhile, scriptwriters have doubtless been having a field day with time to write and plenty of pandemic-related source material to play with. But as with any other year, death has stalked the cinema industry by other natural causes, and we have seen the passing of a number of key film-related names, including three notable names from the James Bond franchise. Here, in no particular order, is a list of just some of those we have lost in 2020.

  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

  • The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash
    SPOOFS The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash In the 1970s, Eric Idle, a former member of the legendary British com- edy team Monty Python, featured a Beatles parody song called “It Must Be Love” on Rutland Weekend Television, his own television show on BBC-2. The song had been written by Neil Innes, who had previously worked with Monty Python and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. The song was performed by ‘The Rutles’, a Beatles look-alike band featuring Neil Innes as the John Lennon character, and Eric Idle as the Paul McCartney character (vgl. Harry 1985: 69). In October 1976, the parody was shown on America’s NBC TV’s show Saturday Night Live as a se- quel to the running gag of a Beatles reunion for $3,000. The parody went down so well that Eric Idle and Neil Innes decided to produce a feature program about The Rutles for television. Idle, who was a close friend of George Harrison, was allowed to watch Neil Aspinall’s unreleased do- cumentary about The Beatles, called The Long and Winding Road. Aspi- nall’s film featured a bulk of famous footage of The Beatles, from their first televised performance at the Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last group performance on the roof of their Apple business building. Idle u- sed The Long and Winding Road as a model for his fake-documentary about The Rutles and basically re-told the history of The Beatles pro- jected upon this imaginary rock band, adding essential elements of par- ody and the Pythonesque sense of surreal humor.

  • «Destry Rides Again»
    «Destry Rides Again» In the film's pre-credits opening sequence, a sign reading "WELCOME TO BOTTLENECK" is shot up. Bullets smash a whiskey bottle next to the sign and another one that is tied and hanging from the sign. [A real bottleneck is left swaying.] The camera pans right across a 'Boot-Hill' cemetery and scenes of the brawling, wild frontier town of Bottleneck, characterized by fist fights and lawlessness. The credits play, accompanied by Frank Skinner's thrilling stagecoach music, ending with a view of the LAST CHANCE SALOON. There is complete mayhem in the wicked town - raucous riders shoot their guns into the sky and gallop on horseback into the gambling bar through swinging doors. In a series of economical shots in the film's first few minutes, most of the major characters in the cast are introduced or glimpsed. A crane takes the camera up above the front porch into a dissolve through the lighted windows on the second floor, where a crooked card game is in progress. The saloon's owner is gambler and slick rogue Kent (Brian Donlevy) - his face obscured by his tilted hat, setting up a rancher/farmer named Lem Claggett (Tom Fadden) in a poker game. Kent deals himself out of the next hand after losing - a calculated move, and wanders around on the upper interior hallway of the saloon - his steely-eyed dominance and control of the saloon are evident. He hits the agitated bartender Loupgerou (Billy Gilbert) on the back of the head with a half-eaten apple, signaling him to notify his star attraction to join him upstairs.

Le Coup du Parapluie Macbeth et Columbo à Scotland Yard Sarah HATCHUEL et Nathalie VIENNE-GUERRIN Cet article se propose d’analyser un épisode de la série Columbo intitulé « Dagger of the Mind » (1972) au cœur duquel se trouve le Macbeth de Shakespeare. Nous examinons la tension que cet épisode met en œuvre entre une série américaine du XXe siècle, Columbo, d’un côté, et la pièce de Shakespeare, Macbeth, de l’autre. La mise en miroir des deux oeuvres suggérée dès les premières images et reprise au cours de l’enquête invite à explorer comment Columbo et Macbeth s’articulent, ce que Macbeth fait à Columbo et ce que Columbo fait à Macbeth, notamment dans le contexte britannique qui caractérise l’épisode et tranche avec le décor habituellement américain de la série.
