  • Costa-Gavras: a Retrospective
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release March 1990 COSTA-GAVRAS: A RETROSPECTIVE April 13 - 24, 1990 A complete retrospective of twelve feature films by Costa-Gavras, the Greek-born French filmmaker, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on April 13, 1990. Both thought provoking and entertaining, Costa-Gavras's suspenseful mysteries deal with compelling social issues and are often based on actual political incidents. His stories involve the motivations and misuses of power and often explore the concept of trust in personal and public relationships. His films frequently star such popular actors as Fanny Ardant, Jill Clayburgh, Jessica Lange, Jack Lemmon, Yves Montand (who stars in six of the films), Simone Signoret, Sissy Spacek, and Debra Winger. Opening with Z (1969), one of his best-known works, COSTA GAVRAS: A RETROSPECTIVE continues through April 24. New prints of Costa-Gavras's early French films have been made available for this retrospective. These include his first film, The Sleeping Car Murders (1965), a thriller about the hunt for a murderer on an overnight train; the American premiere of the original version of One Man Too Many/Shock Troops (1967), a story of resistance fighters who free a group of political prisoners from a Nazi jail; and Family Business (1986), a drama about the transformation of a family crime ring into the local affiliate of an international syndicate. Also featured are Z (1969), an investigation into the murder of a politician; State of Siege (1972), a fictionalized version of the 1970 kidnapping of an American diplomat in Uruguay; and Special Section -more- 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y.

  • Jane Fonda Rétrospective 22 Octobre - 5 Novembre
    JANE FONDA RÉTROSPECTIVE 22 OCTOBRE - 5 NOVEMBRE Un événement Women in Motion Avec le soutien de KERING et du Festival de Cannes Barbarella 64 L’ICÔNE ICONOCLASTE À la fois au cœur de Hollywood et contre un système hollywoodien qui a cher- ché à contrôler son image, star et anti star en même temps, Jane Fonda n’a JANE FONDA cessé de s’affranchir. Elle est assurément, hier comme aujourd’hui, une icône politique et cinématographique. Après avoir reçu le Prix Lumière à Lyon, Jane Fonda honorera La Cinémathèque française de sa présence. Chacun a en soi une image de Jane Fonda, la pin-up, la femme engagée ou encore la reine du fitness. Elle est tout à la fois et sa longue carrière épouse ses changements physiques et intellectuels. Jane Fonda, c’est l’histoire d’une libé- ration : se libérer de l’ombre du père, Henry Fonda, de l’image qu’on lui impose et qu’elle s’impose, de l’influence de ses hommes. C’est aussi l’histoire d’une révélation : celle de la force motrice des engagements politiques et féministes PROGRAMMATION qui vont de pair avec une révélation de sa féminité. Jane Fonda, d’un corps agité devient un corps agissant. TRANSFORMATIONS Bien qu’enfant de la balle, Jane Fonda ne se destine pas à devenir actrice. Elle prend des cours avec Lee Strasberg pour quitter sa famille et se finance en deve- nant mannequin. Alors que la Méthode la pousse à explorer son intériorité, elle est d’abord une cover-girl et la Warner s’empresse de la transformer : maquil- lage épais, cheveux teints en blond, poitrine rembourrée (« Je ne me suis pas reconnue », dira-t-elle dans Sois belle et tais-toi), on lui conseille même de se faire arracher des dents et de casser sa mâchoire.
