Notas Sobre El Estilo El Último Entuerto Que Conviene Desfacer Es El Que Habla De King Como De Un Cineasta “Sin Estilo”
Notas sobre el estilo El último entuerto que conviene desfacer es el que habla de King como de un cineasta “sin estilo”. Si por estilo se entiende llamar la atención sobre la cámara, forzar los ángulos, montar aparatosos encuadres y hacer notar el trabajo del director, King es, en efecto, un director sin estilo. Algunas de sus películas, como Deep Waters, adoptan además una forma visual aparentemente anodina, que puede pasar por impersonal si a la carencia de atractivos externos se une una extrema funcionalidad narrativa, como sucede en dos de sus obras fundamentales, I’d Climb the Highest Mountain y Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie. Un examen detallado de estas y otras películas revela la existencia de una personalidad cinematográfica muy acusada, aunque no llamativa ni evidente. Más que afanarse en la búsqueda de un estilo propio, King intentó desarrollar a lo largo de su carrera un lenguaje que se correspondiese, visual y narrativamente, con los modos de sus personajes, por lo general inteligentes y discretos, observadores y dinámicos, inconformistas y sensibles a los cambios que se producen en su entorno. Conforme avanzaba su obra, películas y personajes fueron haciéndose progresivamente más complejos, sin que King violentara por ello su estilo, cada vez más refinado y transparente, permeable a los avances técnicos (el sonido, el color, la pantalla ancha) pero no a las modas ni a retóricas pasajeras. Tal vez por ello, o por una fidelidad a su propia visión, las bases del estilo visual de King apenas experimentaron variaciones significativas a lo largo del tiempo, de hecho Tol’able David podría haberse rodado en 1951 y I’d Climb the Highest Mountain treinta años antes sin que el espectador hubiera notado el menor desajuste. -
Of Time, Dissonance and the Symphonic-Poetic City Les Roberts, University of Liverpool
Published in Eselsohren: Journal of the History of Art, Architecture and Urbanism, 2 (1-2): 87-104 (2015). Of Time, Dissonance and the Symphonic-Poetic City Les Roberts, University of Liverpool The „time‟ of Terence Davies‟s celebrated cine-poem Of Time and the City (2008) can in one sense be characterised as linear inasmuch as it accords with a biographical period – the 1940s to 1970s – that maps on to the history of a specific place: the port-city of Liverpool in the north west of England. The duration of the seventy-five minute film is thus homologous to that of the director‟s own time growing up on post-war Merseyside, from his birth in 1945 until 1973 when he moved away from the city. In other words, the film tells a story that unfolds as a linear narrative: a time-line of geobiographical memory. But the „time‟ of Of Time and the City also conveys a different temporal geography, one that works against the linearity of narrative form. Time in this other sense is poetically woven from the fluid and contingent temporalities of Terence Davies‟s Liverpool: a city reassembled from the excavatory fragments of an archaeology of memory. It is as fitting to describe Of Time and the City as a „symphony‟ as it is for other classics of the genre, such as Walter Ruttman‟s Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927) or Dziga Vertov‟s Man with a Movie Camera (1929). However, the film‟s rich orchestration of archival memory (around 85% of the film consists of archive material) and its dissonant poetics of everyday time map out the contours of what might better be described as a „symphonic-poetic city‟. -

François Truffaut's Jules and Jim and the French New Wave, Re-Viewed
FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 29, núms. 1-2 (2019) · ISSN: 2014-668X François Truffaut’s Jules and Jim and the French New Wave, Re-viewed ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract Truffaut’s early protagonists, like many of those produced by the New Wave, were rebels or misfits who felt stifled by conventional social definitions. His early cinematic style was as anxious to rip chords as his characters were. Unlike Godard, Truffaut went on in his career to commit himself, not to continued experiment in film form or radical critique of visual imagery, but to formal themes like art and life, film and fiction, and art and education. This article reconsiders a film that embodies such themes, in addition to featuring characters who feel stifled by conventional social definitions: Jules and Jim. Keywords: François Truffaut; French film; New Wave; Jules and Jim; Henri- Pierre Roché Resumen Los primeros protagonistas de Truffaut, como muchos de los producidos por la New Wave, eran rebeldes o inadaptados que se sentían agobiados por las convenciones sociales convencionales. Su estilo cinematográfico temprano estaba tan ansioso por romper moldes como sus personajes. A diferencia de Godard, Truffaut continuó en su carrera comprometiéndose, no a seguir experimentando en forma de película o crítica radical de las imágenes visuales, sino a temas formales como el arte y la vida, el cine y la ficción, y el arte y la educación. Este artículo reconsidera una película que encarna dichos temas, además de presentar personajes que se sienten ahogados: Jules y Jim. Palabras clave: François Truffaut, cine francés, New Wave; Jules and Jim, Henri-Pierre Roché. -
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone. -
