  • Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010
    Between Soundtrack and Performance: Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010 By Marina Romani A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Linda Williams Professor Mia Fuller Summer 2015 Abstract Between Soundtrack and Performance: Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010 by Marina Romani Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair Melodrama manifests itself in a variety of forms – as a film and theatre practice, as a discursive category, as a mode of imagination. This dissertation discusses film melodrama in its visual, gestural, and aural manifestations. My focus is on the persistence of melodrama and the traces it leaves on post-World War II Italian cinema: from the Neorealist canon of the 1940s to works that engage with the psychological and physical, private, and collective traumas after the experience of a totalitarian regime (Cavani’s Il portiere di notte, 1974), to postmodern Viscontian experiments set in a 21st-century capitalist society (Guadagnino’s Io sono l’amore, 2009). The aural dimension is fundamental as an opening to the epistemology of each film. I pay particular attention to the presence of operatic music – as evoked directly or through semiotic displacement involving the film’s aesthetic and expressive figures – and I acknowledge the existence of a long legacy of practical and imaginative influences, infiltrations and borrowings between the screen and the operatic stage in the Italian cinematographic tradition.

  • Italian Films (Updated April 2011)
    Language Laboratory Film Collection Wagner College: Campus Hall 202 Italian Films (updated April 2011): Agata and the Storm/ Agata e la tempesta (2004) Silvio Soldini. Italy The pleasant life of middle-aged Agata (Licia Maglietta) -- owner of the most popular bookstore in town -- is turned topsy-turvy when she begins an uncertain affair with a man 13 years her junior (Claudio Santamaria). Meanwhile, life is equally turbulent for her brother, Gustavo (Emilio Solfrizzi), who discovers he was adopted and sets off to find his biological brother (Giuseppe Battiston) -- a married traveling salesman with a roving eye. Bicycle Thieves/ Ladri di biciclette (1948) Vittorio De Sica. Italy Widely considered a landmark Italian film, Vittorio De Sica's tale of a man who relies on his bicycle to do his job during Rome's post-World War II depression earned a special Oscar for its devastating power. The same day Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) gets his vehicle back from the pawnshop, someone steals it, prompting him to search the city in vain with his young son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola). Increasingly, he confronts a looming desperation. Big Deal on Madonna Street/ I soliti ignoti (1958) Mario Monicelli. Italy Director Mario Monicelli delivers this deft satire of the classic caper film Rififi, introducing a bungling group of amateurs -- including an ex-jockey (Carlo Pisacane), a former boxer (Vittorio Gassman) and an out-of-work photographer (Marcello Mastroianni). The crew plans a seemingly simple heist with a retired burglar (Totó), who serves as a consultant. But this Italian job is doomed from the start. Blow up (1966) Michelangelo Antonioni.

  • The Psychological Landscapes of Michelangelo Antonioni (1912–2007) a Centenary Tribute
    The Psychological Landscapes of Michelangelo Antonioni (1912 – 2007) A Centenary Tribute David Gariff La Notte, 1961 (Photofest) National Gallery of Art 4 David Gariff 5 The Psychological Landscapes of Michelangelo Antonioni (1912 – 2007) A Centenary Tribute The subject of my films is always born of a landscape, of a site, of a place I want to explore. A film you can explain in words is not a real film. — Michelangelo Antonioni Landscape is important to Michelangelo Antonioni. His films explore both an interior psychological terrain as well as the physical geography of nature and man-made structures and spaces. The complex dialogue between these two realms of thought and existence bestows upon his films a richness — a depth — that is uniquely his own. Antonioni is the epitome of an auteur filmmaker. Of course the very aspects of Antonioni’s auteur style that many celebrate are seen by others as the source of an inaccessible opaqueness. Emerging from this basic interior/exterior dichotomy are also a complex range of secondary tensions and interac- tions between words and images, men and women, love and sex, mankind and the environment, nature and architecture, the individual and society, humanism and technology, action and stasis, engagement and alienation — ultimately, between being and nothingness. Any work of art can and perhaps must be approached through both its intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives. Those qualities most relevant to the intrinsic revolve around a work’s purely formal characteristics. The formalist language of An- tonioni’s early films L’Av ve ntu ra (1960), La Notte (1961), and L’Eclisse (1962), often discussed as a trilogy, was new to the 1960s.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

  • Introduction 1 Sounding Fascism in Cinema
    Notes Introduction 1. For an extensive analysis on the subject, the article “Music as Torture / Music as Weapon” in the Transcultural Music Review by Cusick traces the history of the research, and the use of sound (musical and non), for war; an extensive quote from her work demonstrates power’s appropriation of the sheer power of sound: “Acoustic weapons” have been in development by Department of Defense contractors since at least the 1997 creation of the Joint Non- Lethal Weapons Task Force, accounting for 1/3 of the Task Force’s budget in 1998–99. The earliest contract I know to have been let for such a weapon was on November 18, 1998, authorizing now- defunct Synetics Corporation to produce a tightly focused beam of infrasound—that is, vibration waves slower than 100 vps [vibrations per second]—meant to produce effects that range from “disabling or lethal.” In 1999, Maxwell Technologies patented a Hyper-Sonic Sound System, another “highly directional device . designed to control hostile crowds or disable hostage takers.” The same year Primex Physics International patented both the “Acoustic Blaster,” which produced “repetitive impulse waveforms” of 165dB, direct- able at a distance of 50 feet, for “antipersonnel applications,” and the Sequential Arc Discharge Acoustic Generator, which produces “high intensity impulsive sound waves by purely electrical means.” 1 Sounding Fascism in Cinema 1.

  • La Notte (1961), and L’Eclisse (1962)
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 08, ISSUE 02, 2021 THE ARCHITECTUAL SOUL IN THE BODYOF MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI'S FILMS:SHORTREVIEWONHISTRILOGY: L’AVVENTURA (1960), LA NOTTE (1961), AND L’ECLISSE (1962) GELAREH HAJMOUSA Affiliation Faculty of literature and Philosophy, Sapienza university of Rome, Italy Address: Via dei Volsci, 122, 00185 Roma RM Email: [email protected] Phone: 00393511926186 Abstract In realistic films, the architecture of the cinematic exploitation can be seen. In this regard Antonioni's films has an exceptional place. His films point and desire to create a cinematic experience through the use of filming techniques due to the interplay between architecture and the characters. Antonioni, in his films, uses architecture to depict the mental state of the characters, or perhaps as an arena for closure their logical inconsistencies and contrary qualities.Three films: The adventure (L’Avventura, 1960),The night (La Notte, 1961),and The eclipse(L’Eclisse, 1962) are closely related to the concept and text and are known as the trilogy of the Antonioni. In all of these films, director tries to link the process of emotional development of characters to their position in the film.The emphasis on urban-industrial texture, the unusual story structure, the minimal role of dialogue, and in particular the movements of the camera, which follow the unique methods of cinematic expression, all appear in his work.The Antonionitrilogy are an example of a series of films that are suited to study the purpose of any study on a serious approach to the question of the relationship between two types of substances and artistic creatures.

  • 1 Michaelangelo Antonioni: L'avventura (1960), La Notte (1961
    1 Michaelangelo Antonioni: L’Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), L’Eclisse (1962) and Blow-Up (1966) plus Two Days in Paris (Julie Delpy, 2007) The simultaneous deaths of Antonioni and Bergman caused a small flurry earlier this year (2008), as though they were comparable masters: they weren’t. Having said that, L’Avventura , in which either three or four disaffected middle-class types are stuck on a rocky island, might look as if it was inspired by Bergman’s Through a Glass Darkly – until you realise it was made the year before. At one point, even, a helicopter lands: but I don’t think it’s a metaphor for God, as Bergman manages to make it (and Woody Allen after him). Aldo Scadarva films the island off Sicily as beautifully for Antonioni as Sven Nykvist films the Baltic island for Bergman: but where we get to know Bergman’s foursome in the usual discomforting Bergmanesque detail, we never really get to know Antonioni’s. We understand their problem – that one of them has disappeared – and the mystery at first gives the narrative a tension which I suspect Antonioni later found distasteful, for none of his later films, not even Blowup , sets a problem so potentially intriguing. But we’re only on the island for half the movie. As the wafer-thin tale proceeds across Sicily, as Monica Vitti loses her scruples about going to bed with her disappeared best friend’s fiancé, and as it becomes more and more obvious that her disappeared best friend’s fiancé is a man incapable of commitment, and that her best friend has in fact disappeared for good, our attention flags.

In particular, I would like to thank Maureen Turim, Robert B. Ray, and Scott Nygren for their exceptional guidance and helpful suggestions throughout this process. These professors allow the Department of English‟s film students to thrive and think critically on the medium with which they work. Kevin Sherman and Georg Koszulinski were also very helpful, offering me hours upon hours of discussion, some of which assuredly shows up in the pages below. Finally, I would like to thank my spouse, Stephanie, for her love and dedication, without which none of this would have been possible. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................. 4 ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... 6 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................... 8 The Digital Divide .....................................................................................................

  • In Search of Lost Time”
    “IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME”: LA NOTTE AND THE TIME-IMAGE By Alice Chuang Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in English August, 2006 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Sam B. Girgus Lynn Enterline In his speech for the “Archiginnasio d’oro” (1980), Roland Barthes praises Michelangelo Antonioni’s role as an artist: “I call the wisdom of the artist, not an antique virtue, still less a discourse of mediocrity, but on the contrary a moral knowing, that discerning sharpness which enables him to distinguish meaning and truth. How many crimes has humanity not committed in the name of Truth! And yet this truth was only ever just a meaning. All those wars, repressions, terrors, genocides, for the sake of the triumph of a meaning.”1 Although Antonioni’s critics have faulted his films for their absorption in aesthetics, Barthes sees Antonioni’s creation of a cinema that refrains from advocating a truth as an ethical decision. Instead, Antonioni’s reflective cinema searches for a new way of representing time and existence. He depicts modernity as ennui, indifference, and passivity: as in T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land,” in his films, crowds in the city live as though dead. In La Notte (1961), people glare and pull away from one another in the streets, and in L’Eclisse (1962), they bet at the stock exchange as their only mode of excitement. In striking contrast, his contemporary Federico Fellini, arguably, celebrates the careless life of the rich in La Dolce Vita (1960) and excites the spectator with its vibrant soundtrack and dance scenes.
