  • Sydney Film Festival Announces Essential Scorsese
    MEDIA RELEASE THURSDAY 31 MARCH 2016 DAVID STRATTON CURATES SCORSESE RETROSPECTIVE Sydney Film Festival, Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) announce that David Stratton will present a program of 10 essential films directed by Martin Scorsese. The curated films will screen as the retrospective program during the 63rd Sydney Film Festival (8-19 June) and in Melbourne at ACMI (27 May-12 June) to coincide with ACMI’s exhibition SCORSESE (26 May-18 September). All 10 films will screen at the NFSA in Canberra (1-23 July) after Sydney Film Festival’s screenings. The retrospective program of ten titles, including specially imported 35mm prints, curated by David Stratton, entitled Essential Scorsese: Selected by David Stratton, features works by one of the most influential directors of our time, including Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Raging Bull and The Age of Innocence. The renowned critic and broadcaster, was appointed director of the Sydney Film Festival 50 years ago, and held the position from 1966 to 1983. Stratton will introduce selected screenings in the retrospective program. David Stratton says: “Scorsese talks in a rapid-fire style as though he doesn’t have enough time to describe everything he knows. He’s like a character in a 1930s movie. His films are passionate too. His best are explosive in their impact, crammed with information and detail. On the one hand, his Catholic upbringing leads him to tackle religious subjects (The Last Temptation of Christ, Kundun) while the Saturday matinee kid in him revels in the trashy gore of his gangster films.” Essential Scorsese: Selected by David Stratton will screen over two weekends during the Festival (8 – 19 June) at the Art Gallery of NSW.

  • Robert De Niro's Raging Bull
    003.TAIT_20.1_TAIT 11-05-12 9:17 AM Page 20 R. COLIN TAIT ROBERT DE NIRO’S RAGING BULL: THE HISTORY OF A PERFORMANCE AND A PERFORMANCE OF HISTORY Résumé: Cet article fait une utilisation des archives de Robert De Niro, récemment acquises par le Harry Ransom Center, pour fournir une analyse théorique et histo- rique de la contribution singulière de l’acteur au film Raging Bull (Martin Scorcese, 1980). En utilisant les notes considérables de De Niro, cet article désire montrer que le travail de cheminement du comédien s’est étendu de la pré à la postproduction, ce qui est particulièrement bien démontré par la contribution significative mais non mentionnée au générique, de l’acteur au scénario. La performance de De Niro brouille les frontières des classes de l’auteur, de la « star » et du travail de collabo- ration et permet de faire un portrait plus nuancé du travail de réalisation d’un film. Cet article dresse le catalogue du processus, durant près de six ans, entrepris par le comédien pour jouer le rôle du boxeur Jacke LaMotta : De la phase d’écriture du scénario à sa victoire aux Oscars, en passant par l’entrainement d’un an à la boxe et par la prise de soixante livres. Enfin, en se fondant sur des données concrètes qui sont restées jusqu’à maintenant inaccessibles, en raison de la modestie et du désir du comédien de conserver sa vie privée, cet article apporte une nouvelle perspective pour considérer la contribution importante de De Niro à l’histoire américaine du jeu d’acteur.

  • The Departed Talent: Matt Damon, Leonardo Dicaprio, Jack Nicholson
    The Departed Talent: Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone. Date of review: Thursday the 12th of October, 2006. Director: Martin Scorsese Classification: MA (15+) Duration: 152 minutes We rate it: Five stars. For any serious cinemagoer or lover of film as an art form, the arrival of a new film by Martin Scorsese is a reason to get very excited indeed. Scorsese has long been regarded as one of the greatest of America’s filmmakers; since the mid-1980s he has been regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers in the world, period. With landmark works like Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990) and Bringing Out the Dead (1999) to his credit, Scorsese is a director for whom any actor will go the distance, and the casts the director manages to assemble for his every project are extraordinarily impressive. As a visualist Scorsese is a force to be reckoned with, and his soundtracks regularly become known as classic creations; his regular collaborators, including editor Thelma Schoonmaker and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus are the best in their respective fields. Paraphrasing all of this, one could justifiably describe Martin Scorsese as one of the most important and interesting directors on the face of the planet. The Departed, Scorsese’s newest film, is on one level a remake of a very successful Hong Kong action thriller from 2002 called Infernal Affairs. That film, written by Felix Chong and directed by Andrew Lau, set the box office on fire in Hong Kong and became a cult hit around the world.

Hammond and Beverly J. Smith Death, Medicine, and Religious Solidarity in Martin Scorsese’s Bringing Out the Dead In this paper, we will discuss the portrait of medicine in Martin Scorsese’s film, Bringing Out the Dead. Medicine is frequently represented in films as a metaphor for religion, developing a rela- tionship anthropologists have explored for over a century. In a cul- ture of technology and secularization, it might seem this relationship would have necessarily faded. However, despite today’s unprece- dented attempts to frustrate death,1 medicine still must surrender to human mortality. Informed by a religious critique, Bringing Out the Dead suggests that medicine, ideally, is “less about saving lives than about bearing witness,” as Frank Pierce, the central character in the movie, puts it. To put this suggestion into context, we will describe the relationship between religion and medicine evident in the movie as seen from anthropological and theological perspectives. The essential claim of Scorsese’s film is that redemption is avail- able only by bearing witness to a common human solidarity.

  • Movies & Languages 2012-2013 Hugo Cabret
    Movies & Languages 2012-2013 Hugo Cabret About the movie (subtitled version) DIRECTOR Martin Scorsese YEAR / COUNTRY 2011 / USA GENRE Adventure ACTORS Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloe Moretz, Ray Winstone PLOT This film is based on the book "Welcome to the Inventions of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick which is a story about the orphan, clock keeper, and thief Hugo, who lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. A gloriously heart wrenching film brilliantly epitomizing time and change displaying how very precious every moment is. The magic of this movie is about time within time. It is about how time can be suspended, but never stopping. It is also about how it remains constant, but eternal and how ideas are immortalized through dreams and making them reality. It reminds us to take the time for remembrances of things past and there is a time for happiness. Scorsese's intricacies and close attention to detail actually take us into a different time and place where we, the viewers, can actually experience a reality different than our own. The director successfully depicts a deep and meaningful, soft, tender and painfully sweet reality as seen through the eyes of a child and through actual film footage of Marie. Georges-Jean Méliès who was a French illusionist and filmmaker famous for leading many technical and narrative developments in the earliest days of cinema. He was a prolific innovator in the use of special effects and hand-painted color in his work.

  • Brokeback and Outback
    [CINEMA] ROKEBACK AND OUTBACK BRIAN MCFARLANE WELCOMES THE LATEST COMEBACK OF THE WESTERN IN TWO DISPARATE GUISES FROM time to time someone pronounces 'The Western is dead.' Most often, the only appropriate reply is 'Long live the Western!' for in the cinema's history of more than a century no genre has shown greater longevity or resilience. If it was not present at the birth of the movies, it was there shortly after the midwife left and, every time it has seemed headed for the doldrums, for instance in the late 1930s or the 1960s, someone—such as John Ford with Stagecoach (1939) or Sergio Leone and, later, Clint Eastwood—comes along and rescues it for art as well as box office. Western film historian and scholar Edward Buscombe, writing in The BFI Companion to the Western in 1988, not a prolific period for the Western, wrote: 'So far the genre has always managed to renew itself ... The Western may surprise us yet.' And so it is currently doing on our screens in two major inflections of the genre: the Australian/UK co-production, John Hillcoat's The Proposition, set in [65] BRIAN MCFARLANE outback Australia in the 1880s; and the US film, Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, set largely in Wyoming in 1963, lurching forwards to the 1980s. It was ever a char­ acteristic of the Western, and a truism of writing about it, that it reflected more about its time of production than of the period in which it was set, that it was a matter of America dreaming about its agrarian past.
