A story about our secrets, about confinement, about the isolation we all share…." - Philippe Claudel SYNOPSIS Léa (Elsa Zylberstein) and Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas) are sisters. The film begins with Léa, the younger sister by fifteen years, picking Juliette up at the airport. We soon realize that the two sisters are almost complete strangers to each other. Juliette has just been released from prison after serving a long sentence. Léa was still a teenager when Juliette, a doctor, was convicted of the murder of her six-year-old son. Léa contacted Juliette when she was released and suggested that Juliette come to live with her. Juliette had no particular desire to see her sister again. Luc (Serge Hazanavicius), Léa’s husband, is quite reserved, almost hostile, about Juliette’s presence under their roof.

  • Cci3 Literature 1421 Projective Identification
    CCI3 LITERATURE PROJECTIVE IDENTIFICATION WITH THE ROMA PEOPLE IN BALKAN FILMS Puskás-Bajkó Albina, PhD Student, ”Petru Maior” University of Tîrgu Mureș Abstract: In the cinema of the Balkans Roma people are present at every step. As these films were not directed by Roma specialists, one has the tendency to ask the question: how true are these figures to the real Roma nature and behaviour? And very important: what can we account this ongoing interest in Gipsy culture and life for? Is it curiosity about what seems to otherwise be despised by people or could it possibly be the so-called “projective identification”, an expression extensively used by Jacques Lacan in psychoanalysis? The figure of the Gipsy is omnipresent in the history of Balkan cinema. The first ever Balkan film, shown in foreign countries too was about them: In Serbia: A Gypsy Marriage (1911), the first ever Gypsy film to enter and win an international film festival was from the former Yugoslavia: I Even Met Happy Gypsies (1967), directed by Aleksander Petrovic. It won the “Grand Prix Special”. The image of the Gipsy was, however presented by the non-Roma film-directors in these films. “Rather than being given the chance to portray themselves, the Romani people have routinely been depicted by others. The persistent cinematic interest in “Gypsies” has repeatedly raised questions of authenticity versus stylization, and of patronization and exoticization, in a context marked by overwhelming ignorance of the true nature of Romani culture and heritage. ” Dina Iordanova, Cinematic Images of Romanies, in Framework, Introduction, no. 6 Keywords: Projection, Balkans, Romani, film, foreign, mentality.

Some of his enthusiasts regarded him as one of the leading figures of European film modernism, alongside such directors as Jean-Luc Godard and Miklós Jancsó. He was one of those innovators of the 1960s, who broke with the stale cinema dominating their countries in the previous decades. Others admired him for breaking social taboos, especially those regarding sexual behaviour. Finally, some saw him principally as a political filmmaker, engaged with Marxism, in a way which was typical for Yugoslav cinema of the 1960s and 1970s, but rare in other socialist countries, largely because the Yugoslav version of socialism was more democratic and open to criticism, as demonstrated by the work of Praxis philosophers from Belgrade and Zagreb.

    1 The Road Movie Spring 2005 Professor Karen Beckman Office: Jaffe 209 Office hours: Tuesday 2-4pm Email: [email protected] Screenings: Wednesday Jaffe 201, 7pm Course Description In this course we will study the changing shape of the Road Movie genre over the course of the twentieth century. Though our primary focus will be on international adaptations of the genre since the 1960s, we will historicize the modern permutations of the genre by beginning with a consideration of the simultaneous emergence of moving pictures and high-speed forms of transportation. In addition to considering the limits and possibilities of genre as a category of analysis, we will grapple with a number of questions that will persist throughout the course: What is the relationship between cinema and the automobile? Is the road trip a peculiarly American fantasy, and what happens when non- US filmmakers adopt the genre? How does gender emerge as a concern of this genre? What role do urban and rural spaces play in shaping the journeys attempted within these films? What kinds of border-crossings does this genre enact or prohibit? And finally, do the often-radical fantasies of characters within this genre necessarily translate into films with radical politics? Required Books (available at Penn Book Center, corner of Walnut and 34th, and on reserve at Rosengarten, Van Pelt Library, with screened movies): David Laderman, Driving Visions: Exploring the Road Movie (Austin: U of Texas P, 2002) Steven Cohan and Ina Rae Hark, eds., The Road Movie Book (London and New York: Routledge, 1997) Paul Virilio, The Art of the Motor (Minneapolis: U of Minnesota P, 1995) (recommended) Lynne Kirby, Parallel Tracks: The Railroad and Silent Cinema (Durham: Duke UP, 1997) All other readings will be available on electronic reserve on course Blackboard site.
