  • JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE and BEYOND February 25 - March 18, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release February 1994 JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE AND BEYOND February 25 - March 18, 1994 A film retrospective of the legendary French actress Jeanne Moreau, spanning her remarkable forty-five year career, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on February 25, 1994. JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE AND BEYOND traces the actress's steady rise from the French cinema of the 1950s and international renown as muse and icon of the New Wave movement to the present. On view through March 18, the exhibition shows Moreau to be one of the few performing artists who both epitomize and transcend their eras by the originality of their work. The retrospective comprises thirty films, including three that Moreau directed. Two films in the series are United States premieres: The Old Woman Mho Wades in the Sea (1991, Laurent Heynemann), and her most recent film, A Foreign Field (1993, Charles Sturridge), in which Moreau stars with Lauren Bacall and Alec Guinness. Other highlights include The Queen Margot (1953, Jean Dreville), which has not been shown in the United States since its original release; the uncut version of Eva (1962, Joseph Losey); the rarely seen Mata Hari, Agent H 21 (1964, Jean-Louis Richard), and Joanna Francesa (1973, Carlos Diegues). Alternately playful, seductive, or somber, Moreau brought something truly modern to the screen -- a compelling but ultimately elusive persona. After perfecting her craft as a principal member of the Comedie Frangaise and the Theatre National Populaire, she appeared in such films as Louis Malle's Elevator to the Gallows (1957) and The Lovers (1958), the latter of which she created a scandal with her portrayal of an adultress.

  • The White Possession of Detroit in Jim Jarmusch’S Only Lovers Left Alive Matthew J
    1 ‘Your Wilderness’: The White Possession of Detroit in Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive Matthew J. Irwin American Studies, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico ([email protected]) Abstract After a decade of accelerated disinvestment and depopulation, Detroit (re)appeared in the national imaginary as “urban frontier” open for (re)settlement by (mostly white) creative entrepreneurs. Recently, scholars have begun to address the ways in which this frontier rhetoric underscores a settler colonial discourse of erasure for the purpose of land acquisition and (re)development. The post-industrial landscape assumes a veil of wildness and abandon that arouses settler colonial desire for land through a narrative of white return that relies not just on a notion black criminality or ineptitude, but also more fundamentally on an assumption of deferred white possession. Though this work has productively described the settler colonial conditions of racialized (re)development in the Motor City, it has remained tied to a binary of black/white relations. It has ignored, therefore, white possession as a process that mythologizes and absorbs Indigenous history and delegitimizes Indigenous people. In this paper I read Jim Jarmusch’s 2014 vampire film Only Lovers Left Alive as a “landscape of monstrosity” that inadvertently and momentarily recovers Indigenous and African American presence in moments of erasure and absence. Where the film centers on a white vampire elite and suggests a “zombie” white working class, the Detroit landscape recovers African Americans through their invisibility (as ghosts) and Native Americans through savage or regressed nature (as werewolves). More broadly, I argue that Only Lovers Left Alive actively participates in an ideological process of (re)settlement that disguises land speculation (and its inherently disruptive cycles of uneven development) in a renewed frontier mythology.

Le Jury des Longs Métrages sera co-présidé par les réalisateurs, scénaristes, producteurs et comédiens français : BENOÎT DELÉPINE & GUSTAVE KERVERN © DR Les cinéastes Gustave Kervern et Benoit Delépine font leurs premières armes à la télévision, l’un pour « Le plein de Super », et l’autre pour « Les Guignols de l’info ». Le duo naît de leur rencontre sur les plateaux de l’émission « Groland », incarnation du vent de liberté qui soufflait alors sur Canal+. Fidèles à l’esprit contestataire de la chaîne, ils irriguent leurs réalisations d’une apparente désinvolture, faite d’improvisation et de surréalisme dès leur premier long-métrage Aaltra (2004). Dans leurs films suivants, Avida (2006), Louise Michel (2008), Mammuth (2010), Le Grand soir (2012), ils poursuivent leur vision du monde et mettent en scène des personnages marginaux, laissés pour compte: Yolande Moreau, Benoît Poelvoorde, Mathieu Kassovitz, Albert Dupontel, Gérard Depardieu, Bouli Lanners ou encore Isabelle Adjani se succèdent ainsi devant leur caméra, aux côtés de comédiens non professionnels.
