As its editor David Roche acknowledges in his introduction, he himself was reluctant at first to deal with a filmmaker who is recognized for his emotional manipulation and popcorn blockbusters (11). This initial reticence, which is probably common to many other scholars, is soon dispelled by a thought-provoking collection of essays that situate Spielberg not just as a studio director in the classical sense but also as a gifted auteur.

I also dedicate this book to my ancestors from my mother’s side, who for centuries were able to move from Spain to Mexico and loved both countries in their hearts. This lesson remains for future generations. My father, of Spanish Sephardic origin, helped me so much, encouraging me in every intellectual pursuit. I hope that contemporary researchers share their knowledge and open their minds and hearts, valuing what other researchers do whatever their language or nation, as some academics have done for me.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 Days of 40 Genre-Busting Films, Aug 5—24
    BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 days of 40 genre-busting films, Aug 5—24 “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante to appear in person at select screenings Aug 5—Aug 7 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Jul 18, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, August 5, through Wednesday, August 24, BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, a sprawling collection of Dante’s essential film and television work along with offbeat favorites hand-picked by the director. Additionally, Dante will appear in person at the August 5 screening of Gremlins (1984), August 6 screening of Matinee (1990), and the August 7 free screening of rarely seen The Movie Orgy (1968). Original and unapologetically entertaining, the films of Joe Dante both celebrate and skewer American culture. Dante got his start working for Roger Corman, and an appreciation for unpretentious, low-budget ingenuity runs throughout his films. The series kicks off with the essential box-office sensation Gremlins (1984—Aug 5, 8 & 20), with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Billy (Galligan) finds out the hard way what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight and mini terrors take over his all-American town. Continuing the necessary viewing is the “uninhibited and uproarious monster bash,” (Michael Sragow, New Yorker) Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990—Aug 6 & 20). Dante’s sequel to his commercial hit plays like a spoof of the original, with occasional bursts of horror and celebrity cameos. In The Howling (1981), a news anchor finds herself the target of a shape-shifting serial killer in Dante’s take on the werewolf genre.

  • The Sugarland Express (Spielberg 1974): Una Aproximación a Sus Hombres
    THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS (SPIELBERG 1974): UNA APROXIMACIÓN A SUS HOMBRES AUTOR José Díaz-Cuesta CILAP, Universidad de La Rioja en Logroño (España) [email protected] El texto fílmico The Sugarland Express (Spielberg 1974), titulado en España Loca evasión, es encuadrado por Lester Friedman en su libro Citizen Spielberg (2006), atendiendo a la temática de las películas, dentro de aquéllas que pertenecen al género melodramático de acción y/o aventura. El director reconocía en 1988 que “I don’t think I’ve ever not made a melodrama” (Spielberg 1988: 13). Aquí, además, como ya sucedía en Duel (Spielberg 1971), se cruza con la road movie. Continuando la tarea de analizar las representaciones de masculinidades en toda la filmografía de este director (Díaz-Cuesta 2010, 2012), parece oportuno abordar ahora la obra que supone la primera incursión directa en el cine. Para el análisis de las representaciones de masculinidades en esta obra seguimos un método analítico-sintético que sigue los cuatro entornos o sites en los que Pat Kirkham y Janet Thumim (1993: 11) enmarcan las masculinidades en el cine: el cuerpo, la acción, el mundo externo y el mundo interno. En el cuerpo, Kirkham y Thumim distinguen entre el representado por la star persona del actor y el que se incorpora al personaje de la película en cuestión. En el caso de The Sugarland Express el protagonismo central lo ocupa una madre, Lou Jean Poplin (encarnada por Goldie Hawn), alrededor de la cual pivotan los hombres que se cruzan en su camino: su marido Clovis (William Atherton), el policía al que secuestran, Matthew Slide (Michael Sacks), y el capitán Harlis Tanner (Ben Johnson), sin olvidarnos del niño Langston (Harrison Zanuck).

CINEMATOGRAPHIC SPACE AS A MATERIAL AND THE AMERICAN TERRITORY AS A SUBJECT: DUEL AND THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS1 Antoine Gaudin in David Roche (dir.), Steven Spielberg, Hollywood Wunderkind and Humanist, Presses Universitaires de la Méditerranée, 2018. As his recent film Bridge of Spies once again illustrates, Spielberg has always been a rigorous stylist of cinematic space. From the layered deep focus composite shots of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, to the malleability of the digital scenery of The Adventures of Tintin, the experimental scenery of Hook and editing of Saving Private Ryan, and the exploration of emblematic locations like the amusement park in Jurassic Park and the airport in The Terminal, this concern for space takes on various forms throughout the filmmaker’s work.
