  • The Critical Arabesque
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Ruhl, Carsten ; Dähne, Chris ; Hoekstra, Rixt (Hrsgg.): The death and life of the total work of art : Henry van de Velde and the legacy of a modern concept, Berlin 2015, S. 195-216 THE CRITICAL ARABESQUE On Jean-Luc Godard's Nouvelle Vague (1990) Regine Prange The Motion Picture as a Total Work of Art The transformation of the proletarian penny arcades and nickelodeons into movie theaters that were also recognized by a middle-class audience was accompanied by the elaborate commercial construction of gigantic premiere houses, whose mag- nificent fa^ade design and fantastic and eclectic interior decor created experiential spaces that complemented the narrative space of the films being presented and exponentially increased their illusionistic effect. Siegfried Kracauer commented on those “palaces of distraction ” in 1926: 195 A glittering, revue-like creature has crawled out ofthe movies: the total artwork (Gesamt- kunstwerk) of ejfects. / This total artwork of effects assaults every one of the senses using every possible means. Spotlights shower their beams into the auditorium, sprinkling across festive drapes or rippling through colorful, growth-like glass fixtures. The orchestra asserts it- selfas an independentpower, its acousticproduction buttressed by the responsory ofthe light- ing. Every emotion is accorded its own acoustic expression, its color value in the spectrum —a visual and acoustic kaleidoscope which provides the settingfor the physical activity on stage: pantomime and ballet. Untilfinally the white surface descends and the events ofthe three- dimensional stage blend imperceptibly into two-dimensional illusions. 1 In addition to this critical perspective toward a “false totality ” of the movie the- ater that serves entertainment and is suggestive of the “upscale and sacral” of the art tradition, which, in Kracauer ’s opinion, contests the artistic independence of film, the metaphor of the total work of art is also employed for genuine cinematic art.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.
