  • War Cinema– Or How British Films Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Affluent Society
    1 THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICER CLASS IN POST- WAR CINEMA– OR HOW BRITISH FILMS LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Roberts College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences of Brunel University 22nd September2014 2 ABSTRACT My central argument is that mainstream British cinema of the 1951 – 1965 period marked the end of the paternalism, as exemplified by a professional ‘officer class’, as consumerism gradually came to be perceived as the norm as opposed to a post-war enemy. The starting point is 1951, the year of the Conservative victory in the General Election and a time which most films were still locally funded. The closing point is 1965, by which point the vast majority of British films were funded by the USA and often featured a youthful and proudly affluent hero. Thus, this fourteen year describes how British cinema moved away from the People as Hero guided by middle class professionals in the face of consumerism. Over the course of this work, I will analyse the creation of the archetypes of post-war films and detail how the impact of consumerism and increased Hollywood involvement in the UK film industry affected their personae. However, parallel with this apparently linear process were those films that questioned or attacked the wartime consensus model. As memories of the war receded, and the Rank/ABPC studio model collapsed, there was an increasing sense of deracination across a variety of popular British cinematic genres. From the beginning of our period there is a number films that infer that the “Myth of the Blitz”, as developed in a cinematic sense, was just that and our period ends with films that convey a sense of a fragmenting society.

This fall, the National Gallery of Art's film program provides a great variety of work, including area premieres combined with musical performances and appearances by noted film directors, as well as vibrant film series devoted to postwar "British noir" and the American expatriate director Joseph Losey, whose centennial is celebrated this year.

  • La Violenza Sottile Del Cinema Di Losey Tarcisio Lancioni
    La violenza sottile del cinema di Losey Tarcisio Lancioni “nulla di decisivo può essere pensato al di fuori della violenza” É. Balibar 1. Della violenza Cos’è la violenza? da che cosa la riconosciamo? quand’è che qualcosa ci appare violento? o meglio, quand’è che qualcosa ci significa “violenza”? La letteratura semiotica non ci offre grande aiuto, e benché non manchino studi e lavori su “cose” che classificheremmo senza esitazione violente, come guerre, delitti o torture, non sono riuscito a trovare qualche testo che cerchi specificamente di definire “la violenza”. D’altra parte anche la letteratura classica sul tema, dal Walter Benjamin critico di Sorel ad Hannah Arendt, o da Pierre Clastres a René Girard, sembra assumere la violenza come qualcosa di scontato: vi si discute della legittimità del suo uso, del ruolo della violenza nel formarsi delle società primitive e del suo valore fondativo, ma non si tenta di dire in cosa essa consista né da cosa effettivamente riconosciamo “la violenza”. Per trovare una via di accesso al problema proviamo perciò a rivolgerci al dizionario, luogo istituzionale della memoria semantica della lingua: «violenza. s.f. 1 Forza impetuosa e incontrollata; estens.: la v. del temporale. 2 Azione volontaria, esercitata da un soggetto su un altro, in modo da determinarlo ad agire contro la sua volontà. Violenza assoluta (o violenza materiale), se la resistenza del soggetto è totale. Violenza morale, se è relativa e basata sul timore di chi la subisce. Violenza fisica, se attuata come costrizione materiale. Violenza carnale, il reato di chi impone ad altri con la forza un rapporto sessuale.

    Intimate stranger: the early British films of Joseph Losey neil sinyard In Hollywood you’re still one of the bad boys. (The Intimate Stranger) He doesn’t like the world. It’s a good beginning. (The Damned) E soul, Dirk Bogarde confessed to being reduced to tears by the rave review in The Times when The Servant was premièred at the end of 1963. For Bogarde, this prestigious endorsement of his extraordinary performance as Barrett, the man-servant who brings the life of the aristocrat he serves crashing down about his ears, was a career turning-point, the fulfilment of his ambition to be recognised as a major screen actor and not simply a matinee idol. It marked a similar culmination for its director, Joseph Losey, who, after seeking work in England following his blacklisting in Hollywood during the McCarthy period, had struggled for a decade with, as he saw it, indifferent scripts, philistine producers and studio conformity. In an interview in Films and Filming in October 1963, he had declared: ‘The Servant is the only picture I have ever made in my life where there was no interference from beginning to end, either on script, casting, cutting, music or on anything else. The result, whether the film succeeds or not, whether one likes the film or not, at least it’s something I can defend as being mine. It is all of one piece.’ As a film-struck teenager, I saw The Servant when it was first released and can recall being utterly bowled over by it. At that time, infected by a fashionable disdain towards British cinema in comparison with the panache I have written over twenty books on film, including studies of Richard Lester, Nicolas Roeg and Jack Clayton.
