Criterion Collection Presents Heaven’S Gate Michael Cimino’S Cut of His Epic Western, in a Breathtaking New Restoration Available for the First Time in Any Format! 1980 AVAILABLE ON BLU-RAY AND DVD! THE CRITERION COLLECTION PRESENTS HEAVEN’S GATE MICHAEL CIMINO’S CUT OF HIS EPIC WESTERN, IN A BREATHTAKING NEW RESTORATION AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ANY FORMAT! WINNER BEST ART DIRECTION, ACADEMY AWARDS, 1981 A visionary critique of American expansionism, Heaven’s Gate, directed by Oscar winner MICHAEL CIMINO (The Deer Hunter), is among Hollywood’s most ambitious and unorthodox epics. KRIS KRISTOFFERSON (Lone Star) brings his weathered sensuality to the role of a Harvard graduate who has relocated all the way to Wyoming as a federal marshal; there, he learns of a government-sanctioned plot by rich cattle barons to kill the area’s European settlers for their land. The resulting skirmish is based on the real-life bloody Johnson County War of 1892. Also starring ISABELLE HUPPERT (White Material) and CHRISTOPHER WALKEN (The Deer Hunter), Heaven’s Gate is a savage and ravishingly shot demystification of western movie lore. This is the full director’s cut, letting viewers today see Cimino’s potent original vision. “Among the supreme achievements DIRECTOR-APPROVED of the Hollywood cinema.” SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES —Robin Wood • New, restored transfer of director Michael Cimino’s cut of the film, supervised by Cimino “An opium vision of American bloodshed.” • New restoration of the 5.1 surround soundtrack, —Michael Atkinson, The Village Voice supervised by Cimino, in DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray edition “A masterpiece.” • New illustrated audio interview with Cimino and producer —Nigel Andrews, Financial Times Joann Carelli • New interviews with actor Kris Kristofferson, soundtrack 2-BLU-RAY EDITION SRP $49.95 arranger and performer David Mansfield, and second PREBOOK 10/23/12 STREET 11/20/12 assistant director Michael Stevenson CAT.

In the early 1970s, the great Italian poet, philosopher, and filmmaker PIER PAOLO PASOLINI (Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom) brought to the screen a trio of masterpieces of premodern world literature—Giovanni Boccaccio’s The Decameron, Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, and The Thousand and One Nights (often known as The Arabian Nights)—and in doing so created his most uninhibited and extravagant work, which he titled his Trilogy of Life. In this brazen and bawdy triptych, the director set out to challenge consumer capitalism and celebrate the uncorrupted human body while commenting on contemporary sexual and religious mores and hypocrisies. His scatological humor and rough-hewn sensuality leave all modern standards of decency behind; these are physical, provocative, and wildly entertaining films, all extraordinarily designed by DANTE FERRETTI (Hugo) and featuring evocative music by ENNIO MORRICONE (Days of Heaven).

    EITHER 'SHINING WHITE OR BLACKEST BLACK': GREY MORALITY OF THE COLONIZED SUBJECT IN POSTWAR JAPANESE CINEMA AND CONTEMPORARY MANGA Elena M. Aponte A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2017 Committee: Khani Begum, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2017 Elena M. Aponte All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Khani Begum, Advisor The cultural and political relationship between Japan and the United States is often praised for its equity, collaboration, and mutual respect. To many, the alliance between Japan and the United States serves as a testament for overcoming a violent and antagonistic past. However, the impact of the United States occupation and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is rarely discussed in light of this alliance. The economic revival, while important to Japan’s reentry into the global market, inevitably obscured continuing paternalistic interactions between Japan and the United States. Using postcolonial theory from Homi K. Bhahba, Frantz Fanon, and Hiroshi Yoshioka as a foundation, this study examines the ways Japan was colonized during and after the seven-year occupation by the United States. The following is a close assessment of two texts and their political significance at two specific points in history. Akira Kurosawa's1948 noir film Drunken Angel (Yoidore Tenshi) shaped the identity of postwar Japan; Yasuhiro Nightow’s Trigun manga series navigates cultural amnesia and American exceptionalism during the 1990s after the Bubble Economy fell into recession in 1995. These texts are worthy of simultaneous assessment because of the ways they incorporate American archetypes, iconography, and themes into their work while still adhering to Japanese cultural concerns.

  • Akira KUROSAWA Something Like an Autobiography
    Akira KUROSAWA Something Like an Autobiography Translated by Audie E. Bock Translator's Preface I AWAITED my first meeting with Kurosawa Akira with a great deal of curiosity and a fair amount of dread. I had heard stories about his "imperial" manner, his severe demands and difficult temper. I had heard about drinking problems, a suicide attempt, rumors of emotional disturbance in the late sixties, isolation from all but a few trusted associates and a contempt for the ways of the world. I was afraid a face-to-face encounter could do nothing but spoil the marvelous impression I had gained of him through his films. Nevertheless I had a job to do: I was writing a book on those I considered to be Japan's best film directors, past and present. I had promised my publisher interviews with all the living artists; I could hardly omit the best-known Japanese director in the world. I requested an interview through his then producer, Matsue Yoichi. I waited. Six months went by, and my Fulbright year in Tokyo was drawing to a close. I was packing my bags and distributing my household goods among my friends in preparation for departure the next morning when the telephone rang. Matsue was calling to say Kurosawa and he would have coffee with me that very afternoon. In the interim I had of course interviewed all the other subjects for the book, and all had spoken very highly of Kurosawa. In fact, the whole chapter on Kurosawa was already roughed out with the help of previous publications and these directors' contributions, so it seemed possible that my meeting with the man himself would be nothing more than a formality.

Riis Hayasaka Fumio (1914–55) worked with some of Japan’s most famous film directors during his sixteen year career while winning numerous accolades for both his film and concert music, though his name and work are little known outside of his native country. Self-taught, he brought new ideas to Japanese music and was a key figure in the developments made in the post- war era and a major influence on subsequent composers. Hayasaka’s style blended traditional Asian musical elements—primarily Japanese, though he also studied Indonesian and Chinese music—with the Western orchestra, creating what he called a Pan-Asian style.

  • Shakespeare on Film and Television in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress
    SHAKESPEARE ON FILM AND TELEVISION IN THE MOTION PICTURE, BROADCASTING AND RECORDED SOUND DIVISION OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Compiled by Zoran Sinobad January 2012 Introduction This is an annotated guide to moving image materials related to the life and works of William Shakespeare in the collections of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress. While the guide encompasses a wide variety of items spanning the history of film, TV and video, it does not attempt to list every reference to Shakespeare or every quote from his plays and sonnets which have over the years appeared in hundreds (if not thousands) of motion pictures and TV shows. For titles with only a marginal connection to the Bard or one of his works, the decision what to include and what to leave out was often difficult, even when based on their inclusion or omission from other reference works on the subject (see below). For example, listing every film about ill-fated lovers separated by feuding families or other outside forces, a narrative which can arguably always be traced back to Romeo and Juliet, would be a massive undertaking on its own and as such is outside of the present guide's scope and purpose. Consequently, if looking for a cinematic spin-off, derivative, plot borrowing or a simple citation, and not finding it in the guide, users are advised to contact the Moving Image Reference staff for additional information. How to Use this Guide Entries are grouped by titles of plays and listed chronologically within the group by release/broadcast date.
