La Damifere Y Rastora Anytliing for a Miiiion Jacques M6th6's La damifere y rastora The film opens on the solitary figure of a young giri, bouncing a rubber ball in an alley. The ball bounces into a small yard. She stands at the gate, patiently waiting as an older man emerges with the ball in hand. She takes the ball back without answering any of his questions, and skips down the alley. Throughout this scene, the camera lingers on the child's face and movements. Her expression is ambiguous at best, and her gestures suggest a deliberation not associated with children. On the surface nothing is ieapecially disturbing about this scene. But the atmosphere and the pacing are too benign. There is more here than meets the eye. Director Jacques Methe plays with tension continually. Joseph and Ger- maine Lavoie, a retired couple, seem to hive lived out their Uves relatively hap­ pily. Joseph complains about his toast and Germaine chides him as one would a child Both have ironed out any prot>- lems they might have had long ago - 'until the little girl appears in Joseph's life ' The child seems to weave a fine web • Weaving a sand-castle web (Paul IHebert and veronique Oemassey) 'around the older man.

  • Imagination, the Open, and the Movies of Federico Fellini
    TO DISCOVER THAT _ THERE IS NOTHING TO DISCOVER: IMAGINATION, THE OPEN, AND THE MOVIES OF FEDERTCO FELL1NI By DAVID L. LAVERY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1978 COPYRIGHT 1978 David L. Lavery For Lee Bluestein (1938-1968) and John F. Reinhardt, who first showed me the Journey Out and Back and taught me to endure it. For W. R. R. , Taylor, my parents, Carol, Joyce, and Susan. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I think I have told you, but if I have not, you must have understood, that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see. Black Elk In the rites of passage of many native American peoples it is common for a young man, approaching maturity, to embark on a vision quest into the wilderness in search of a message or revelation on which he might shape his existence. I would like to think of the follow- ing work as such a vision quest, and I wish here to thank those who were responsible in their various ways for helping me complete the quest. W. R. Robinson introduced me to Fellini and to the movies and taught me to see as well as an amblyopic blind person like myself could hope to. Taylor Scott brought me, I hope, back to earth, pronouncing, like Guido's producer, the magic words, "Down, definitely down," when I most needed to hear them.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Antonio Pietrangeli, The Director of Women: Feminism, Film Theory and Practice in Postwar Italy A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Emma Katherine Van Ness 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Antonio Pietrangeli, The Director of Women: Feminism, Film Theory and Practice in Postwar Italy by Emma Katherine Van Ness Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas J. Harrison, Chair This study will examine the work of Antonio Pietrangeli both as film theorist and as director. Critics have long considered Pietrangeli an anomaly, difficult to place into genres, since his cinema focused primarily on female protagonists. This dissertation will investigate the idea of Pietrangeli as a feminist practitioner, tying his early writings on film from the late Forties as well as his later film production from the Fifties and Sixties to feminist and film theory. While some of this theory was contemporary to Pietrangeli, what this study will show is that he was anticipating later developments in critical, feminist, and structuralist theory, in particular apparatus theory and psychoanalytic theory in film studies. Since Pietrangeli has a history of being marginalized, misunderstood, and ignored in Italian film studies, this dissertation seeks to remedy that omission by bringing his work into dialogue with other established film critics and auteurs in order to show that his unique voice, both in theory and in praxis, deserves scholarly attention and consideration. ii Claudio Fogu Lucia Re Edward F.

  • Fellini's Art of Affirmation: the Nights of Cabiria, City of Women, and Some Aesthetic Implications
    Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory/Revue canadienne de theorie politique et sociale, Vo1.6, No-3 (Fall/Automne, 1982). Fellini's Art of Affirmation: The Nights of Cabiria, City of Women, and Some Aesthetic Implications Frank Burke Frederico Fellini has, over the past thirty years, established himself as one of the most important directors in the brief history of cinema. More than that, his work has earned him comparison with Shakespeare, Dante, Blake, Joyce-and other great visionaries in the Western literary tradition. Yet, in spite of his enormous reputation, his work has incited a good deal of hostility. Certain intellectuals distrust him because they can't take ready abstractions to or from his films. Others abhor him because he fails to provide political dogma and programmes of reform. He's accused of being self-indulgent and irrational by the former, of being an irresponsible bourgeois romantic by the latter. For those interested in a political reduction of the cultural imagination, anything that resists reduction-like Fellini's non-prescriptive vision-will be denounced. On the other hand, any intellectual with an adventuring mind may, conceivably, be persuaded. There is a method to Fellini's imagination. There is, in fact, a rigorous consistency to his films. The "chaos" that many claim to find in his work is really complexity-and the richness and density that complexity demands . This essay will attempt to examine certain processes in his work to demonstrate that his vision is anything but self-indulgent, that he has something profound to say about what it means to be human, that he is-in short-worthy of his reputation.
