Tous les jeudis à partir du 11 mars dès 20.40 et la journée spéciale du 27 mars. 8 films Devenus cultes, les films catastrophe qui ont déferlé sur les écrans dans les années 70 n’ont rien perdu de leur impact. Et le charme rétro de leurs effets spéciaux ne fait qu’ajouter au divertissement ! En explosant le box-office, le 2012 de Roland Emmerich vient de démontrer que le film catastrophe a encore de beaux jours devant lui, même si, paradoxalement, il nous prédit la fin du monde ! Et l’arrivée en force de la 3D dans les salles obscures laisse augurer d’un raz de marée de productions apocalyptiques ! La force du film catastrophe, ce n’est pas seulement de nous montrer les dégâts provoqués par des causes naturelles, techniques, humaines ou surnaturelles, mais aussi de s’intéresser aux réactions des victimes prises dans la tourmente. Zoom sur 8 films catastrophes !

Un vibrant hommage porté à l’un des plus grands artistes de la musique noire américaine par un Jamie Foxx époustouflant, qui habite complètement son personnage. Sublime ! 10/03 À 20.40 16/03 À 18.10 SYNOPSIS 18/03 À 15.05 Fin des années 40, Ray Charles Robinson, orphelin de père et mère, aveugle depuis l'âge de sept ans, quitte 20/03 À 20.40 sa Georgie natale pour Seattle. Fou de musique, il forme un trio, influencé par Nat King Cole, avant de gravir 24/03 À 16.00 une à une les marches de la gloire. AUTOUR DU FILM Ce long-métrage retrace l'itinéraire du célèbre crooner Ray Charles, pionnier du rythm'n' blues et de la soul music, disparu en juin 2004, qui composa quelques-uns des plus grands succès de la musique noire américaine (I got a woman, What'd I say, Georgia on my mind, Unchain my heart …) Taylor Hackford, qui rêvait de se pencher sur le destin de cet artiste hors du commun, obtint, dès 1987, de Ray Charles, l’autorisation d’adapter sa vie à l’écran. Ce dernier lui accorda également une série d’entre- tiens afin d’asseoir les bases de son scénario. Avec Ray, le réalisateur a cherché, à montrer la complexité du personnage, traitant aussi bien son succès musical que les fêlures de son passé ou ses problèmes avec la drogue et les femmes. A la sortie du film il déclara : ”J'espère prouver que Ray Charles est bien plus qu'un musicien du passé. Il influença une puissante révolution culturelle qui se poursuit aujourd'hui encore”. Mission réussie puisque en 2005, le film obtient 6 nominations aux Oscars (Meilleur film, Meilleur réalisateur, Meilleur acteur, Meilleurs costumes, Meilleur montage et Meilleur son) et Jamie Foxx remporte l’Oscar du meilleur acteur pour son interprétation du rôle titre.

H&G6-10-Tu1 The Birth of American Imperialism Leader - Ron Levy Tuesday – Course Period 1 – 9:00 a.m. to 10:25 a.m. Description Five U.S. Presidents in a 20-year period, from Harrison to Taft, embarked on active territorial incursions and international strategies that had significant implications for our foreign policy in the 20th century. James Bradley in his book, The Imperial Cruise levels serious accusations of a racist leadership that pursued an American Aryan philosophy as it “followed the sun to the West.” Although a lauded historian, he wrote this book in more of a journalistic style which makes for enjoyable and often surprising reading. Reviews have been both favorable and critical of his controversial treatment of the subject. How legitimate are Bradley’s claims? What is the background to our territorial incursions in Asia-Pacific, and to what extent were they an extension of our similar activities in the Americas? How did they relate to the concurrent activities of other major powers? To what extent were our actions examples of regime change or of nation building? What were some of the positive and negative outcomes of our policies? Did some of our actions really lead to World War II in the Pacific? We will examine the then-recent history of Hawai’i, Cuba, Panama, the Philippines, China, Korea and Japan, and the U.S.’s relations with those countries, as the U.S.

  • 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.

    Finding Aid for the Mitchell Leisen Papers Collection Processed by: Samuel A. Henley, 5.8.2019 Finding Aid Written by: Samuel A. Henley, 5.8.2019 OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION: Origination/Creator: Leisen, Mitchell Title of Collection: Mitchell Leisen Papers Date of Collection: 1898 -- 1972 Physical Description: 12 boxes, 33 Bound scripts Identification: Special Collection #24 Repository: American Film Institute Louis B. Mayer Library, Los Angeles, CA RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS: Access Restrictions: Collection is open for research. Copyright: The copyright interests in this collection remain with the creator. For more information, contact the Louis B. Mayer Library. Acquisition Method: Donated by Eleanor Broder (personal assistant) for Mitchell Leisen, from September 28, 1970 up until his death in 1971. BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORY NOTE: Mitchell Leisen, (born October 6, 1898, Menominee, Michigan, U.S. — died October 28, 1972, Los Angeles, California), American costume designer, art director, and film and television director. He entered the film industry in the 1920s, beginning in the art and costume departments. He directed his first film in 1933 with CRADLE SONG and became known for his keen sense of aesthetics in the glossy Hollywood melodramas and screwball comedies he turned out. His motion pictures — almost all of them made at Paramount — were often dominated by strong female leads such as Barbara Stanwyck, Paulette Goddard, Olivia de Havilland, Claudette Colbert, and Carole Lombard, who rarely were paired with a male actor of equal stature or presence. His best-known films include the Alberto Casella adaptation DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY (1934) and MURDER AT THE VANITIES (1934), a musical mystery story with Duke Ellington’s Orchestra, as well as MIDNIGHT (1939) and HOLD BACK THE DAWN (1941), both scripted by Billy Wilder.

  • ST. JAMES THEATER (Originally Erlanger Theater), 246-256 West 44Th Street
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 15, 1987; Designation List 198 LP-1374 ST. JAMES THEATER (originally Erlanger Theater), 246-256 West 44th Street. Built 1926-27; architects, Warren & Wetmore. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1015, Lot 54. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the St. James Theater (originally Erlanger Theater) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 70). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The St. James (built as the Erlanger) Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1926-27, the St. James was designed by the prominent firm of Warren & Wetmore as the last Broadway theater erected for Abraham Erlanger. Abraham Erlanger had been a principal in the infamous Klaw & Erlanger Theatrical Syndicate, which had dominated the American theater industry for several decades on either side of the turn of the century. After the break-up of the Syndicate, Klaw and Erlanger went their separate ways, and each built theaters named for themselves.

  • Femme Fatale
    the cinematic flâneur manifestations of modernity in the male protagonist of 1940s film noir Petra Désirée Nolan Submitted in Total Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2004 The School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology The University of Melbourne Abstract The hardboiled hero is recognised as a central trope in the film noir cycle, and particularly in the ‘classic’ noir texts produced in Hollywood in the 1940s. Like the films themselves, this protagonist has largely been understood as an allegorical embodiment of a bleak post-World War Two mood of anxiety and disillusionment. Theorists have consistently attributed his pessimism, alienation, paranoia and fatalism to the concurrent American cultural climate. With its themes of murder, illicit desire, betrayal, obsession and moral dissolution, the noir canon also proves conducive to psychoanalytic interpretation. By oedipalising the noir hero and the cinematic text in which he is embedded, this approach at best has produced exemplary noir criticism, but at worst a tendency to universalise his trajectory. This thesis proposes a complementary and newly historicised critical paradigm with which to interpret the noir hero. Such an exegesis encompasses a number of social, aesthetic, demographic and political forces reaching back to the nineteenth century. This will reveal the centrality of modernity in shaping the noir hero’s ontology. The noir hero will also be connected to the flâneur, a figure who embodied the changes of modernity and who emerged in the mid-nineteenth century as both an historical entity and a critical metaphor for the new subject. As a rehistoricised approach will reveal, this nineteenth century—or classic—flâneur provides a potent template for the noir hero.

  • Fundamentación Filosófica De Las Conversaciones Cavellianas Sobre La Filmografía De Mitchell Leisen
    SCIO. Revista de Filosofía, n.º 9, Noviembre de 2013, 55-84, ISSN: 1887-9853 FUNDAMENTACIÓN FILOSÓFICA DE LAS CONVERSACIONES CAVELLIANAS SOBRE LA FILMOGRAFÍA DE MITCHELL LEISEN José Alfredo Peris Cancioa Fechas de recepción y aceptación: 10 de noviembre de 2014, 29 de noviembre de 2014 Sumario: La investigación sobre la filmografía del director del Ho- llywood clásico Mitchell Leisen se beneficia si se adoptan algunas de las claves que desarrolla el filósofo de Harvard Stanley Cavell. Entre las apor- taciones de este filósofo destacan su comprensión de las películas como textos filosóficos, la necesidad de una metodología de estudio que se adap- te a la realidad, el registro cuidadoso de los detalles de las películas que no se captan con un único visionado. En la filmografía de Leisen aparece como un vector muy destacado la búsqueda del verdadero amor. La me- todología que sugiere la obra de Stanley Cavell permite hacer justicia a los contenidos filosóficos de la filmografía de Mitchell Leisen. Palabras clave: “filosofía más allá de la academia”, “cine como texto filosófico”, educación, matrimonio, identidad, paradoja, reversión de roles y situaciones. Abstract: Research on classic Hollywood films under Mitchell Leisen direction improves if we adopt some keys developed by Harvard philoso- pher Stanley Cavell. Among the contributions of this philosopher, there a Facultad de Derecho, Facultad de Filosofía, Antropología y Trabajo Social, Universidad Católica de Valencia “San Vicente Mártir”. Correspondencia: Universidad Católica de Valencia “San Vicente Mártir”. Calle Quevedo, 2. 46001, Valencia, España. E-mail: [email protected] 56 José Alfredo Peris Cancio are some to highlight: his understanding of films as philosophical texts, the need for a methodology that fits reality, careful record of details of those movies that are not captured with a single viewing.
