Bamcinématek Presents Adjani, a 12-Film Retrospective of French Icon and Fierce Leading Lady Isabelle Adjani, Mar 8—21 BAMcinématek presents Adjani, a 12-film retrospective of French icon and fierce leading lady Isabelle Adjani, Mar 8—21 New DCP restorations of André Téchiné’s The Brontë Sisters and the director’s cut of Elaine May’s Ishtar, plus a newly restored 35mm print of Walter Hill’s The Driver Presented in partnership with uniFrance Films and French Cultural Services The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor of BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Feb 8, 2013—From Thursday, March 8, through Thursday, March 21, BAMcinématek presents Adjani, a 12-film retrospective of “the French Garbo,” including underseen rarities as well as the actress’ best-known work, several shown in new 35mm prints and DCP restorations. Isabelle Adjani’s fierce, powerful screen presence and raven-haired beauty have made her an icon of French cinema. Bursting onto the international scene in Truffaut’s The Story of Adele H., she has gone on to win a record five Césars, work with such auteurs as Werner Herzog, Roman Polanski, Walter Hill, and Andrzej Zulawski, and become an outspoken champion of immigrant rights. In her best roles, Adjani projects a smoldering intensity that is at once alluring and excitingly unpredictable. “I am what they call a pretty intense actress,” Adjani, a specialist in tragic heroines and madwomen, has admitted. She became a star in France in the comedy The Slap (1974) and around the world a year later when François Truffaut, mesmerized by that performance, cast Adjani as the lovesick daughter of Victor Hugo in The Story of Adele H. (1975—Screening Sunday, March 10). In this “musical, lilting film with a tidal pull to it” (Pauline Kael), Truffaut scrupulously recreates the everyday details of transit, entertainment, and communication in Hugo’s era. Against that backdrop of mundane reality Adjani etches one of the cinema’s most ardent studies of frustrated passion, a real-life stalker avant la lettre who followed a disinterested lover around the world. Adele H. earned Adjani Best Actress awards from the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics, as well as an Academy Award nomination, commencing a career as one of the most decorated actresses in film history; she went on to earn citations from the Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, a second Oscar nod, and a record-breaking five César Awards. Though she was something of an outsider in France—the child of a German mother and an Algerian garage worker who grew up in a working-class Paris suburb—the rest of the world greeted Adjani, with her pouty lips and rounded vowels, as the emblematic jeune fille. Journalists often compared her to Bardot (for her sensuality) and Garbo (for her mystery). “Indignant, amused, aloof, proud, possessed—the most cherishable actress alive,” rhapsodized James Wolcott. Adjani was shrewd about her career, choosing projects less for the quality of the role than for the director at the helm. Roman Polanski was a must for Adjani. He cast her as the kooky girlfriend in The Tenant (1976—Mar 17), the claustrophobic, Kafkaesque cult favorite in which a nobody (played by Polanski himself) purloins an apartment following its occupant’s suicide and begins to take on the dead girl’s identity. For Werner Herzog, Adjani played Lucy in Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979—Mar 16), a remake of the canonical silent that, much like Adele H., emphasized the grimy minutiae of 19th-century life as much as its supernatural horrors: those hordes of plague-bearing rats induce as many squirms as the bloodsucking freak (Klaus Kinski). Polish master Andrzej Zulawski pursued Adjani for years before she agreed to star in his masterpiece, Possession (1981—Mar 15), as the terrorized wife in a bitter divorce drama that morphs into a Freudian science fiction opus (complete with a Carlo Rambaldi monster!). Adjani’s infamous five-minute food-flinging freak-out became the centerpiece of one of the cinema’s most uninhibited performances, winning her a Best Actress Award at Cannes and her first César. Adjani also had a good eye for recognizing promising new directors, notably the young André Téchiné, for whom she starred in Barocco (1976) and The Brontë Sisters (1979—Mar 8; new DCP restoration). Hauntingly atmospheric and almost Bressonian in its restraint, Téchiné’s literary biography assembles an all-star cast as the repressed (and oppressed) soeurs: Marie-France Pisier, Isabelle Huppert, and Adjani, who plays defiant tomboy Emily, wearing pants and roaming the windy moors with her brother (her Queen Margot costar Pascal Greggory) and her blind father (A Clockwork Orange’s Patrick Magee) en route to writing Wuthering Heights. By the mid-80s, Adjani had become France’s biggest box office draw, starring in popular hits like Jean- Paul Rappeneau’s All Fired Up (1982—Mar 20), Jean Becker’s One Deadly Summer (1983—Mar 14), and Luc Besson’s Subway (1985—Mar 9). Rappeneau’s family comedy, which starred Yves Montand as uptight Adjani’s long-lost père, did not receive a commercial release abroad, and makes a rare appearance in this series. Becker’s steamy, sunlit noir about a seductress who blows into a provincial town on a mission of revenge, scandalized French audiences for its extended full-frontal scenes featuring Adjani, known until then as a “good girl.” Clothed again, and in the highest of fashion, Adjani decorated Besson’s Subway as a gangster’s wife who falls for peroxided, tuxedo-clad pickpocket Christopher Lambert in this key entry in the short-lived ultra-pop cinéma du look movement. A tabloid fixture in her native country, Adjani endured a series of scandals, including the revelation of her North African heritage (initially, she had lied, claiming her father was Turkish) as she spoke out against racism, and a bizarre rumor that she was dying of AIDS. Undaunted, Adjani used her bankability to get a passion project off the ground, handpicking Bruno Nuytten (the cinematographer on The Brontë Sisters and the father of her first child) to direct Camille Claudel (1988—Mar 13), a biopic about a promising sculptress who becomes ruinously obsessed with her teacher and lover Rodin (Gérard Depardieu). “Her most overwhelming and characteristic performance, as a woman in love with art, exhilaration, and danger” (David Thomson). Best known in the US for her romances with Warren Beatty and Daniel Day Lewis, Adjani flirted with a Hollywood career that was never wholly consummated. Dropping out of Sydney Pollack’s Bobby Deerfield, and turning down Fatal Attraction and Dick Tracy, Adjani—fluent in English via a crash course of Happy Days reruns—made her US debut in The Driver (1978—Mar 9; in a newly restored 35mm print) as a professional gambler drawn to Ryan O’Neal’s inscrutable wheel-man. Walter Hill’s lean, moody criminal-versus-cop chase—“perhaps the most abstract movie ever made in Hollywood” (Michael Sragow)—was a blueprint for the recent hit thriller Drive. Adjani’s second American film, shot on location in Morocco, was Elaine May’s Ishtar (1987—Mar 20), a political satire that cast megastars Beatty and Dustin Hoffman as nitwit lounge singers caught up in a CIA plot to overthrow a Middle Eastern government. A humungous flop upon its initial release and an enduring punchline for late-night comedians, Ishtar has over time become a cause célèbre, having been championed by prominent film critics including J. Hoberman (“extremely droll… worthy of Samuel Beckett”), Jonathan Rosenbaum (“very prescient… a surprisingly sweet-tempered farce”), and Richard Brody (“among the most original, audacious, and inventive movies… of modern times”). BAMcinématek presents a new DCP restoration of the director’s cut. At the height of her stardom, Adjani went into semi-retirement, interrupting a nearly 15-year absence from the screen in the mid-90s to make three films, among them Patrice Chéreau’s Queen Margot (1994— Mar 21), an energetic bodice ripper that compiles more sex and blood than all of her earlier period pieces combined. As Marguerite de Valois, the radiant Adjani was nearly 40 but somehow passed for half that. “Filmographies are like necrologies,” she wrote in the film’s Cannes program. “I do not like dates. The present is always the start.” For press information, please contact Gabriele Caroti at 718.724.8024 / [email protected] Lisa Thomas at 718.724.8023 / [email protected] Adjani Film Schedule Fri, Mar 8 2, 4:30, 7, 9:30pm: The Brontë Sisters Sat, Mar 9 2, 7pm: The Driver 4:30, 9:30pm: Subway Sun, Mar 10 2, 4:30, 7, 9:30pm: The Story of Adele H.

  • Philosophy Goes to the Movies
    PHILOSOPHY GOES TO THE MOVIES ‘Philosophy Goes to the Movies is very clearly and engagingly written. It has a particular claim on the attention of those preparing students for a systematic study of philosophy, one that distinguishes it from any other introductory book I know of.’ Stephen Mulhall, University of Oxford ‘I think this is an excellent text. Falzon is in control of his material. He writes clearly and at a level that undergraduates can understand. He seems as comfortable describing films as he is explaining the nature of a philosophical problem. It will make an outstanding text to use in introductory philosophy classes.’ Thomas Wartenburg, Mount Holyoke College, USA Philosophy Goes to the Movies is a new kind of introduction to philosophy that makes use of film to help us understand philosophical ideas and positions. Drawing on art- house movies like Cinema Paradiso and Hollywood blockbusters such as The Matrix, Christopher Falzon introduces and discusses central areas of philosophical concern, including: • the theory of knowledge • the self and personal identity • ethics • social and political philosophy • science and technology • critical thinking. Falzon draws from the ideas of a diverse selection of thinkers, from Plato and Descartes to Marcuse and Foucault. Ideal for the beginner, this book guides the student through philosophy using lively and illuminating cinematic examples including Total Recall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Antz and Wings of Desire. It will also appeal to anyone interested in the philosophical dimensions of cinema. Christopher Falzon is Lecturer in Philosophy at Newcastle University, Australia. He is the author of Foucault and Social Dialogue (Routledge, 1998).

    Patrice Chéreau. Cineasta del corpo Retrospettiva 16 - 21 febbraio 2010 Cinema Gnomo Milano Iniziativa promossa dal Comune di Milano A cura di Pier Giorgio Carizzoni Organizzata dall’ Associazione Culturale Dioniso Con il patrocinio del Centre Culturel Français de Milan Media partner: Rai Radio Tre Martedì 16 febbraio 2010 si inaugura al Cinema Gnomo di Milano la prima retrospettiva italiana di Patrice Chéreau, celebre regista francese di teatro e di cinema, al quale il Comune di Milano rende omaggio fino a domenica 21 febbraio con la proiezione dei 10 lungometraggi da lui diretti dal 1975 a oggi. L’iniziativa, curata da Pier Giorgio Carizzoni e organizzata dall’Associazione Culturale Dioniso con il patrocinio del Centre Culturel Français de Milan e la collaborazione di Rai RadioTre, si svolge in concomitanza con la presenza a Milano di Chéreau per la regia lirica dell’opera “Da una casa di morti” di Leoš Janá ček, al Teatro alla Scala dal 28 febbraio. Chéreau ha diretto nei suoi film alcuni dei più grandi attori del cinema europeo: Isabelle Huppert, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Isabelle Adjani, Daniel Auteuil, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Simone Signoret, Charlotte Rampling, Jean-Hugues Anglade. Dalla sua filmografia emerge il profilo di un autore che sa esplorare con notevole vigore espressivo i volti e i corpi dei suoi personaggi, indagando in profondità nei risvolti più intimi e nascosti dell’animo umano, senza compiacimenti né rassicurazioni. Circa la metà dei film in programma, irreperibili in Italia, sono presentati in versione originale con sottotitoli in italiano. La rassegna si inaugura martedi 16 con la proiezione di Persécution (ore 18:30, replica domenica 21 ore 21:15, versione originale con sottotitoli in italiano), ultimo film diretto dal regista, presentato al Festival del cinema di Venezia 2009 e alla “Panoramica” milanese in anteprima assoluta, che racconta l’infelicità di un uomo perseguitato e persecutore, amante geloso e infedele fagocitato dal suo stesso narcisismo.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

A DANGEROUS METHOD (2011) Director: David Cronenberg Writers: Christopher Hampton, Christopher Hampton Stars: Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen Country: UK | GE | Canada | CH Genres: Biography | Drama | Romance | Thriller Trailer In the early twentieth century, Zurich-based Carl Jung is a follower in the new theories of psychoanalysis of Vienna-based Sigmund Freud, who states that all psychological problems are rooted in sex. Jung uses those theories for the first time as part of his treatment of Sabina Spielrein, a young Russian woman bro- ught to his care. She is obviously troubled despite her assertions that she is not crazy. Jung is able to uncover the reasons for Sa- bina’s psychological problems, she who is an aspiring physician herself. In this latter role, Jung employs her to work in his own research, which often includes him and his wife Emma as test subjects. Jung is eventually able to meet Freud himself, they, ba- sed on their enthusiasm, who develop a friendship driven by the- ir lengthy philosophical discussions on psychoanalysis. Actions by Jung based on his discussions with another patient, a fellow psychoanalyst named Otto Gross, lead to fundamental chan- ges in Jung’s relationships with Freud, Sabina and Emma.

Iquitos is best reached by plane from Lima. The flight lasts one to two hours. Gimme Shelter like other rooms at la casa fitzcarraldo, the Blue Room has a ceiling fan and a mahogany parquet floor. A tapestry of psychedelic geometric shapes, typical of the indig- enous Shipibo people, is draped above the bed. At night, the sound of crickets and frogs seeps in through the screen, drowning out the traffic on the streets of Iquitos, the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon region. But staying in this particular room offers a certain, well, satisfaction. Yes, Mick Jagger slept here. It was in 1981, when Jagger was cast in the filmFitzcarraldo , the epic tale of a 19th-century rubber prospector who attempts to transport a steamship over a mountain. The movie-making process was an epic unto itself, as director Werner Herzog insisted that the cast and crew actually carry a ship over a mountain in the jun- gle. (His financiers would have preferred he use miniatures on a sound stage.) During the shooting, a large house owned by the film’s executive producer, Walter Saxer, served as a production base and crash pad. Herzog liked to stay in the back bungalow, actor Klaus Kinski took the Green Room upstairs, and Jagger claimed the Blue Room.
