  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more.

  • Racial Tragedy, Australian History, and the New Australian Cinema: Fred Schepisi's the Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Revisited
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 28, núms. 1-2 (2018) · ISSN: 2014-668X Racial Tragedy, Australian History, and the New Australian Cinema: Fred Schepisi’s The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Revisited ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) broke ground in its native country for dealing bluntly with one of the most tragic aspects of Australian history: the racist treatment of the aboriginal population. Adapted faithfully from the 1972 novel by Thomas Keneally, the film concerns a young man of mixed race in turn-of-the-century Australia who feels torn between the values and aspirations of white society, on the one hand, and his aboriginal roots, on the other, and who ultimately takes to violence against his perceived white oppressors. This essay re-views The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith from the following angles: its historical context; its place in the New Australian Cinema; its graphic violence; and the subsequent careers of the film’s director, Fred Schepisi, and its star, Tommy Lewis. Keywords: The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith; Fred Schepisi; Thomas Keneally; New Australian Cinema; racism and colonialism Prior to the late 1970s, Australia was something of a cinematic backwater. Occasionally, Hollywood and British production companies would turn up to use the country as a backdrop for films that ranged from the classic (On the Beach [1959]) to the egregious (Ned Kelly [1970], starring Mick Jagger). But the local movie scene, for the most part, was sleepy and unimaginative and very few Australian films traveled abroad. Then, without warning, Australia suddenly experienced an efflorescence of imaginative filmmaking, as movies such as Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), The Getting of Wisdom (1977), My Brilliant Career (1979), and Breaker Morant (1980) began to be shown all over the world.

  • Madness in the Films of Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson, Sam Peckinpah and Nicolas Roeg
    Journal of Alternative Perspectives in the Social Sciences (2020) Volume 10 No 4, 1413-1442 Images of Modernity: Madness in the Films of Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson, Sam Peckinpah and Nicolas Roeg Paul Cornelius—taught film studies and film and TV production at Mahidol University International College (Thailand), film studies and history at the University of Texas at Dallas, American studies at the University of Oldenburg (Germany), and communication arts at Southern Methodist University. Douglas Rhein—is Chair of the social science division at Mahidol University International College (Thailand), where he teaches classes in psychology and media. Abstract: This article will examine the work of four filmmakers-- Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson, Sam Peckinpah and Nicolas Roeg— whom have produced milestone works in the cinema that address one of the central concerns of modernity, the loss of individual identity and its replacement with a figurative disembodiment in an increasingly complex, technocratic, and specialized world. Preoccupation with the struggle for the soul and the resulting madness and the blurring and collapsing of boundaries, is what unites the four film makers. Three of the four--Reisz, Anderson and Roeg--originated in the British cinema, and thus automatically found themselves somewhat on the margins of the industry, yet the fourth, Peckinpah, is the sole American of the group. This article argues that his primary concerns in the cinema may place him more with his British counterparts than with other Hollywood filmmakers of the same era. The methodology chosen for this analysis firmly secures the films and their makers within their particular social and historical contexts.

  • More Than a Touch of Madness Below Performance (1970)
    Articles More Than a Touch of Madness Below Performance (1970) On its release in the United States in 1970, Life magazine critic Richard Schickel described Don- More Than ald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg’s debut filmPerfor - mance as ‘the most completely worthless film I have seen since I began reviewing’ (Schickel 1970). Pretty a Touch of harsh words from Schickel who, along with Andrew Sarris and Pauline Kael, had embraced much of the new American and European cinema and had railed Madness against the New York Times critic Bosley Crowther for denouncing as trash Arthur Penn’s breakthrough The flawed brilliance of Nicolas Roeg film, Bonnie and Clyde (1967). One can only guess that watching a couple of bodies being riddled with and Donald Cammell’s debut film bullet holes must have been easier to digest than Performance watching three hippies taking a bath in a tub of dirty water. But whatever his cinematic politics, Schickel was not alone.

Raab Writer Edward Bond(screenplay) John Vance Marshall (novel) Cast Jenny Agutter Girl Luc Roeg White Boy (as Lucien John) David Gulpilil Black Boy John Meillon Man Robert McDarra Peter Carver No Hoper John Illingsworth Young Man Hilary Bamberger Barry Donnelly Australian Scientist Noeline Brown German Scientist Carlo Manchini Italian Scientist Crew Original Music John Barry Cinematography Nicolas Roeg Film Editing Antony Gibbs Alan Patillo Production Design Brian Eatwell Art Direction Terry Gough Make Up Linda Richmond Fresh Film Festival 2001 Introduction Based on the book by James Vance Marshall, ‘Walkabou’t is director Nicolas 1 Roegs’ second film as a director and was made in 1970. The film details the jour- ney of two Australian youths – a teenage girl and a young boy who are left to fend for themselves in the Australian Outback following the suicide of their father. Unable to survive practically in this harsh environment, they are befriended by an Aboriginal youth, himself on a ritualistic journey of discovery away from his tribe. The film chronicles the clash of the cultural meeting between the westernised Australians and the native boy. The film is radically different from the book and director Roeg takes the line of interpreting the spiritual awakening and damage which occurs from the meeting. Roegs’ films often tend to follow the isolation experienced by characters due to personal crises or an environment they find them- selves in. In the case of ‘Walkabout’, the arid Australian desert acts as a visual metaphor for the opportunity to start afresh, away from the spiritually empty value system we have developed in the west.

  • British Art Cinema
    Introduction: British art cinema 1 Introduction – British art cinema: creativity, experimentation and innovation Paul Newland and Brian Hoyle What is art cinema? Definitions of art cinema have long been contested, but the generic term ‘art cinema’ has generally come to stand for feature-length narrative films that are situated at the margins of mainstream cinema, located some- where between overtly experimental films and more obviously commercial product. Whether it is through a modernist, drifting, episodic approach to storytelling; a complex engagement with high culture; the foregrounding of a distinct authorial voice; or a simple refusal to bow to normal commercial considerations, at its heart the term ‘art cinema’ has come to represent film- making which is distinct from – and often in direct opposition to – popular narrative film. But for Steve Neale, writing in a seminal article published in the journal Screen in 1981, the term ‘art cinema’ applies not just to individ- ual films and film histories but also to patterns of distribution, exhibition, reception and audience engagement.1 Moreover, art cinema, in its cultural and aesthetic aspirations but also its audience, relies heavily upon an appeal to ‘universal’ values of culture and art. This is reflected in the existence of international festivals, where distribution is sought for these films, and where their status as ‘art’ – and as films ‘to be taken seriously’ – is confirmed and re-stated through prizes and awards. Writing in 2013, David Andrews argued that art cinema should
