Rape and the Virgin Spring Abstract
Silence and Fury: Rape and The Virgin Spring Alexandra Heller-Nicholas Abstract This article is a reconsideration of The Virgin Spring that focuses upon the rape at the centre of the film’s action, despite the film’s surface attempts to marginalise all but its narrative functionality. While the deployment of this rape supports critical observations that rape on-screen commonly underscores the seriousness of broader thematic concerns, it is argued that the visceral impact of this brutal scene actively undermines its narrative intent. No matter how central the journey of the vengeful father’s mission from vengeance to redemption is to the story, this ultimately pales next to the shocking impact of the rape and murder of the girl herself. James R. Alexander identifies Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring as “the basic template” for the contemporary rape-revenge film[1 ], and despite spawning a vast range of imitations[2 ], the film stands as a major entry in the canon of European art cinema. Yet while the sumptuous black and white cinematography of long-time Bergman collaborator Sven Nykvist combined with lead actor Max von Sydow’s trademark icy sobriety to garner it the Academy Award for Best Foreign film in 1960, even fifty years later the film’s representation of the rape and murder of a young girl remain shocking. The film evokes a range of issues that have been critically debated: What is its placement in a more general auteurist treatment of Bergman? What is its influence on later rape-revenge films? How does it fit into a broader understanding of Swedish national cinema, or European art film in general? But while the film hinges around the rape and murder, that act more often than not is of critical interest only in how it functions in these more dominant debates.

Themenportal Europäische Geschichte
Themenportal Europäische Geschichte www.europa.clio-online.de Essay 1 EUROPA, „DIE GROßE ILLUSION“ Von Luisa Passerini Sprechen wir von „Europa“, dann sprechen wir von einer Idee, die durchaus ambivalen- te Züge aufweist. Um diese Ambivalenz der Idee „Europa“ näher zu charakterisieren, wähle ich hier den Ausdruck „Die große Illusion“. Das Wort „Illusion“ steht zuallererst für „Täuschung“, doch auf den zweiten Blick erschließen sich weitere Bedeutungen, wie diejenige, die sich aus der etymologischen Herkunft vom lateinischen Verb ludere = spielen und illudere = zum Spielen anregen, ergibt. Fragt man sich, womit denn über- haupt gespielt werden soll, so findet sich etwa im Oxford English Dictionary unter dem Begriff „Illusion“ der Verweis auf unsere Phantasie und unsere Vorstellungskraft. Die Verwendung des Ausdrucks „Illusion“ ist daher in diesem Sinne auch eine Einladung, unserer Phantasie freien Lauf zu lassen, um uns ein anderes, ein mögliches Europa vor- zustellen, ohne gleichzeitig dabei die Schwierigkeiten zu übersehen, denen Europa ge- genübersteht. Der Ausdruck „Große Illusion“ findet sich im Titel des 1910 zuerst erschienenen Bestsellers The great illusion von Sir Norman Angell (1872-1967).2 Angell, Friedens- nobelpreisträger des Jahres 1933, vertrat in diesem Buch die Position, Krieg sei wirt- schaftlich sinnlos und politischer Selbstmord. Bereits sein Buch von 1909, Europe’s optical illusion, hatte argumentiert, dass Kriegsrüstung und militärische Eroberung dem Aggressor keinen Nutzen bringe.3 The great illusion wurde durchaus zwiespältig aufge- nommen, da Angell auch dem Pazifismus, den er als „old pacifism“ bezeichnete, Senti- mentalität und Humanitätsduselei vorwarf. Nichtsdestotrotz trug das Buch, das bis in die 1930er Jahre mehrfach neu aufgelegt wurde, viel dazu bei, Kritik an Krieg und Mili- tarismus zu verbreiten.

O La Gran Ilusión
UNA VERSIÓN CABALLERESCA: LA «GUERRA DE GUANTE BLANCO» O LA GRAN ILUSIÓN Gloria Camarero Gómez-Arteaga Universidad Carlos III de Madrid 1. Génesis e historia Corría el año de 1937 cuando Jean Renoir (1894-1979) realizó La gran ilusión, que sería la película que más fama le reportaría y también la preferida por el gran público. En esa fecha, este director francés era ya una ﬁ gura muy re- conocida en el mundo del celuloide y se le consideraba un integrante destacado del cine frentepopulista1. 1 Sobre Jean Renoir puede consultarse: AA.VV.

Bicycle Thieves
BICYCLE THIEVES Vittorio De Sica Sub : Film Studies (FE 3) By : Farah Faisal 2018-2021 Vittorio De Sica • Italian director and actor, a leading figure in the neorealistmovement. • Four of the films he directed won Academy Awards: Sciuscià and Bicycle Thieves(honorary), while Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow and Il giardino dei Finzi Contini won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. • Bicycle Thieves helped establish the permanent Best Foreign Film Award. These two films are considered part of the canon of classic cinema.Bicycle Thieves was cited by Turner Classic Movies as one of the 15 most influential films in cinema history.[ Analysis • The setting of this movie takes place in post-war Rome, where economic struggles are commonplace. • The film clearly contains many elements of the Classical Hollywood Narrative (the ending being an important exception), and it makes excellent use of film form, mise-en-scene, and cinematography to tell the story in a compelling way. • The film follows Antonio Ricci, the main character, during his search for his stolen bicycle. • The film focuses on the main character, Antonio Ricci, and his son, Bruno, throughout. Antonio’s main goal is to get a job, but it quickly changes into the main plot of the movie: to locate his stolen bicycle so that he can return to work. • The film progresses in a logical, linear fashion, having no major lapses in time. In addition, viewers are taken on an emotional journey, feeling the frustration and desperation of Antonio as his search continues. • While the film meets many of the characteristics of the Classical Hollywood Narrative, there was one important difference: There was no happy ending in this film.

The director did not attend the festivities associated with the premiere, however, and the reception given to the film by Japa nese critics and reporters, though positive, was described by a French critic who had been deeply involved in the project as having "something of the air of an official embalming" (Raison 1985, 9).

The Odyssey of Fellini Kayla Knuth
ISSUE #1 | JULY 2020 The Odyssey of Fellini Kayla Knuth Making raw cinematic artistry work on the big screen can be extremely challenging, and directors such as Federico Fellini meet that challenge by giving us unique films, each with a clear vision. There are many masterful auteurs within the film industry, but there is something about Fellini’s good-natured style that truly engages me, along with how he incorporates elements of both reality and fantasy in iconic films such as La Strada (1953), La Dolce Vita (1961), and 8 ½ (1963). Not everyone is capable of digging deeper into what the artist is actually saying, and many are too quick to make harsh judgements about what they see rather than what they interpret. This is another reason why his film work interests me. I enjoy the “chase” that helps me provide a deeper analysis of what certain scenes in his films actually symbolize. This makes me pay closer attention to the films, and I find myself rewinding scenes, taking a step back to investigate the meaning of what I’m seeing. Almost all of Fellini’s films feature a dominant protagonist character with qualities to which the audience can at least secretly relate. Some of Fellini’s most striking cinematic moments are memorable because of characters that tend to stick with you even when the films become unclear at times. In addition, the artistry, passion, zest for life, and inven- tiveness on display in his filmmaking help us appreciate a wide range of possibilities for cinematic representation. Aesthetically, Fellini’s films reach for what I will call “ugliness within beauty.” His films seem to ask: is there beauty to be found within ugliness? Or is there ugliness lurking within the beautiful? Fellini attempts to ask these questions through both his striking visuals and sympathetic characters.

The Myth of the Good Italian in the Italian Cinema
ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 16 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy July 2014 The Myth of the Good Italian in the Italian Cinema Sanja Bogojević Faculty of Philosophy, University of Montenegro Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n16p675 Abstract In this paper we analyze the phenomenon called the “myth of the good Italian” in the Italian cinema, especially in the first three decades of after-war period. Thanks to the recent success of films such as Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds or Academy Award- winning Benigni’s film La vita è bella and Spielberg’s Schindler’s List it is commonly believed that the Holocaust is a very frequent and popular theme. Nevertheless, this statement is only partly true, especially when it comes to Italian cinema. Soon after the atrocities of the WWII Italian cinema became one of the most prominent and influential thanks to its national film movement, neorealism, characterized by stories set amongst the poor and famished postwar Italy, celebrating the fight for freedom under the banners of Resistance and representing a nation opposed to the Fascist and Nazi regime. Interestingly, these films, in spite of their very important social engagement, didn’t even mention the Holocaust or its victims and it wasn’t until the 1960’s that Italian cinema focused on representing and telling this horrific stories. Nevertheless, these films represented Italians as innocent and incapable of committing cruel acts. The responsibility is usually transferred to the Germans as typically cold and sadistic, absolving Italians of their individual and national guilt.
