Gageons que les recettes engrangées permettront à la Les dieux de Molenbeek 8 compagnie fondée par Walt Disney en 1923 de conforter, encore, sa première place mondiale dans l’industrie des médias et de l’entertainment. Soirée Courts-métrages 9 La bonne épouse 9 Pour les plus mûrs, trois grands films de genre seront à l’affiche. Un film fantastique, The Lighthouse de Robert Eggers avec Willem Dafoe À DÉCOUVRIR AU ROYAL et Robert Pattinson. Présenté à la Quinzaine des Réalisateurs à Cannes Le meilleur reste à venir 10 cette année, le dernier film de Robert Eggers a marqué par son travail formel - un noir et blanc splendide, au format standard, obtenu par À Couteaux Tirés 10 l’utilisation d’une pellicule 35mm avec des jeux de lentilles et de filtres Cunningham 10 datant des années 30 – pour construire un huis-clos angoissant. Talking about trees 11 Un polar roumain, Les Siffleurs de Corneliu Porumboiu, réalisateur du très Un monde plus grand 11 remarqué 12h08 à l’est de Bucarest, Caméra d’Or à Cannes en 2006.

La vie invisible d’Eurídice Gusmão 12 Et un film de guerre, 1917 de Sam Mendes qui tourne peu mais bien (American Beauty en 1999, Les sentiers de la perdition en 2002 ou FESTIVAL CINÉMA TÉLÉRAMA encore Les noces rebelles en 2008). Schofield et Blake, deux jeunes soldats britanniques, doivent remplir une mission quasiment suicide : Le Lac aux oies sauvages 13 passer derrière les lignes ennemies pour porter un message afin Parasite 13 d’empêcher une attaque vouée à l’échec et éviter ainsi la mort de centaines Alice et le Maire 13 de soldats, dont le frère de Blake… Le Traître 14 Une curiosité également, La vérité de Hirokazu Kore-eda. Après avoir El reino 14 enchanté les spectateurs du monde entier avec ses chroniques familiales (Still Walking, Tel père, tel fils, Notre petite sœur et Une Affaire de Martin Eden 15 famille, palme d’or en 2018), le réalisateur japonais creuse la même veine Les misérables 15 mais servie par un casting international : Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche et Ethan Hawke. A découvrir ! TOUJOURS À L'AFFICHE Enfin, les spectateurs qui ne se consolent pas - il en existe ! - de l’arrivée It must be heaven 16 du parlant, de la couleur et des formats larges tout juste bons à "filmer les Les Envoûtés 16 enterrements et les serpents" (Fritz Lang), devraient plébisciter Sherlock Junior réalisé par Buster Keaton en 1924. Sûrement, la plus époustouflante poursuite de l’histoire du cinéma, jamais égalée depuis et CINÉ-JUNIOR cela sans recours aux "réalités" virtuelles. Sans oublier, la mise en abyme La Reine des neiges 2 16 et la prouesse de faire pénétrer Sherlock dans un film projeté. Lors de la sortie de The Purple Rose of Cairo (Woody Allen, 1985), les Le Voyage du prince 17 commentateurs s’étaient esbaudis en voyant Jeff Daniels quitter l’écran Le Cristal Magique 17 pour rejoindre Cecilia (Mia Farrow), une spectatrice dans la salle. L’inverse Sherlock Junior 17 réalisé, 60 ans avant, par Sherlock Jr. est infiniment plus difficile à mettre en œuvre… Sherlock Junior ou la démonstration que Keaton est Pirouette et le sapin de Noël 18 assurément le plus grand des burlesques : le génie à l’état brut, brut La Famille Addams 18 comme un diamant.

Entre exaltation et inquiétude, Echo dresse un portrait mordant et tendre de notre société moderne. Le réalisateur Rúnar Rúnarsson : "La période de Noël amplifie nos émotions. Qu’on apprécie ou non ces fêtes de fin d’année, il existe toute une panoplie de sentiments qui y sont liés. C’est aussi une période de réflexion. C’est la fin de l’année et qu’on soit croyant ou non, c’est une date où la société impose aux gens de donner le meilleur d’eux-mêmes. Ce qui signifie également que la face sombre de l’humanité peut ressurgir".

    Mere Anarchy? The Films and Short Stories of Woody Allen Lecturer: PD Dr. Stefan L. Brandt, Guest Professor Basic information: Hauptseminar, 2 SWS, ECTS-Studium, ECTS-Credits: 7; application at KOS. Room and time: AR-K 122/123, Tuesdays, 16-18. First session: April 1, 2008. Modules: LCM-MA-M5.3 (Literatur-, Kultur-, und Mediensoziologie) ab 4; Medienkultur-MA-2.2 (Medienanalyse Ton Audiovision) ab 4; Medien und Gesellschaft-MA-2.2 (Medienanalyse Ton Audiovision) ab 4; M-PEB-Diplom-A3 (Medienanalyse AV) (ab 4); AmL-5 (Medien: Theorie, Geschichte, Praxis) ab 4; ENG-GHR-M5.2 (Texte und Medien) ab 4; ENG-GYM- M9a.8 (Textsorten und Medien) ab 4; ENG-BK-M6.1 (Texte und Medien) ab 4. Maximum number of participants: 50 Short description: »It's not that I'm afraid to die,« Woody Allen once told a journalist, »I just don't want to be there when it happens«. This statement, quizzical and absurd as usual, ties in with another aphorism, reportedly the first Allen joke to be published: »I am two with Nature.« Until this very day, Woody Allen is one of the most prolific and renowned artists that America has generated in the 20th century. Receiving his first Emmy Award for a script for the Ed Sullivan Show as early as 1957, Allen has since won four Oscars, the O. Henry Award for the best short story in 1977, as well as numerous other prizes in the U.S. and Europe. What makes Allen’s work, which encompasses comedies, dramas, expressionist films and acting roles as well as literary works, so unique and so influential? This course will deal with the central themes and motifs negotiated in Allen’s oeuvre – black humor, psychology, Jewishness, New York City, human relationships, and the absurdities of (post)modern life.

  • Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview
    Jewish Experience on Film An American Overview by JOEL ROSENBERG ± OR ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE long history of Jewish sacred texts, it is fair to characterize film as the quintessential profane text. Being tied as it is to the life of industrial science and production, it is the first truly posttraditional art medium — a creature of gears and bolts, of lenses and transparencies, of drives and brakes and projected light, a creature whose life substance is spreadshot onto a vast ocean of screen to display another kind of life entirely: the images of human beings; stories; purported history; myth; philosophy; social conflict; politics; love; war; belief. Movies seem to take place in a domain between matter and spirit, but are, in a sense, dependent on both. Like the Golem — the artificial anthropoid of Jewish folklore, a creature always yearning to rise or reach out beyond its own materiality — film is a machine truly made in the human image: a late-born child of human culture that manifests an inherently stubborn and rebellious nature. It is a being that has suffered, as it were, all the neuroses of its mostly 20th-century rise and flourishing and has shared in all the century's treach- eries. It is in this context above all that we must consider the problematic subject of Jewish experience on film. In academic research, the field of film studies has now blossomed into a richly elaborate body of criticism and theory, although its reigning schools of thought — at present, heavily influenced by Marxism, Lacanian psycho- analysis, and various flavors of deconstruction — have often preferred the fashionable habit of reasoning by decree in place of genuine observation and analysis.

    March 1986 Page 8 Daily Nebraskan Tuesday, 11, O n Ernie1 ILdHJLMJLMtCJl. n n mb piredietab sun, beautoify By Charles Lieurance Senior Reporter Considering Woody Allen's popular- ity, it's amazing he's been able to keep his filmmaking territory all to himself. After all, his neurotic, paranoid New Yorker persona isn't registered at the patent office. Any bright college philo- sophy major with a keen wit has the ability to turn the texts of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Hegel and Schopenauer inside-ou-t by applying them to the real f, world. The average person's concern with greater metaphysical questions end when they become accountants or .J piano tuners, for sanity's sake. Allen lias applied his deceptively formulaic approach to any number of genres since 19G!); science fiction ("Sleeper"), the Neil Simon-typ- e comedy ("Play it again, Sam"), film noir ("Broadway Danny Rose"), fantasy ("The Purple Rose of Cairo") and most recently, the domestic melodrama, "Hannah and Her Sisters." Movie Review Allen does more than just parodies, which saves him from being an overly sentimental version of Mel Brooks. Allen knows too much to slide over the surface of a genre and he's too cynical to take even his romantic nihilism too seriously. For awhile it was "hip" to be like Woody Allen, to be an intellectual, vulnerable male with all your salary invested in psychoanalysis. Now, in the age of Rambo, Allen has taken the emphasis off himself in his of films. "Interiors" and "The Purple Courtesy Orion Pictures Rose of Cairo" excluded him entirely Farrow, Hershey and Wiest portray the sisters In Woody Allen's new 'Hannah and "Hannah and Her sisters" casts film, and Her Sisters.' him as an interesting bit player, like a Rosencrantz or Guildenstern, provid- in and out of each pie, scurrying others creating art, of being artistic, of being death is an imposing wraith, but life is Woody Allen films).

  • Bowen 1 the Purple Rose of Cairo: 1930S Hollywood and the Metafilm
    Bowen 1 The Purple Rose of Cairo: 1930s Hollywood and the Metafilm In 1985, Orion films released Woody Allen’s The Purple Rose of Cairo, a romantic tragicomedy that, despite initial negative reception, soon earned praise as a classic, referred to by some reviewers as Allen’s pivotal work. 1 Before it hit the box offices, a Variety review responded to the film’s world premiere at the US Film Festival in January 1985, describing it as “an initially appealing but frustratingly thin conceit [which] should generate only modest b.o.” However, box office successes brought reviews with specific appreciation for this unusually short comic feature; most notably, reviewers marveled at its cinematic structure, calling the narrative “perfectly contained within a spatial framework very like a jewel box.” 2 Praised for its concision and organization, Allen’s “gem” of a film remains noteworthy for its use of a film-within-a- film narrative structure to cast new meaning on what it means to be an audience member to Hollywood productions. As one critic for Film Criticism writes, “ The Purple Rose of Cairo is a metafilm because it challenges its own premise.” 3 The Purple Rose of Cairo opens with a scene of Cecilia on her way to work, pausing to admire the Jewel Cinema and take note of the new feature film. The narrative’s momentum comes from a contrast between Cecilia’s Depression-era reality, complete with an abusive freeloading husband and difficulty keeping her job, and the fantasy and escape that films give her. At the crux of this narrative structure, and at the heart of 1985 reviewers’ praise, is Allen’s comment on Hollywood as providing an alternative reality as an escape for viewers.
