The Movement Image the Movement Image Is a New Project to Encour- Age and Share New Works of Writing About Film The Movement Image The Movement Image is a new project to encour- age and share new works of writing about film. Last year the two of us started a home-viewing film night, and this issue’s contributors were par- ticipants (with the exception of the three-thou- sand-miles-away Thom Donovan). An emergent theme of our film night selections was cinema as a vehicle for the repositioning of myths and of the reverse, myth as a vehicle for revolutions in cin- ema. Some used myth as a sort of prism of he- roic time for the ongoing ground of contempora- neous political and social struggles (Electra My Love), others used myth in ironic or exaggerated ways (Parajanov, Funeral Parade of Roses), and still others seemed to use myth to reveal without commentary the ancient in the present (Yeelen, EDITOR’S Dekalog). So, this issue foregrounds writings on films that NOTE use myth, the myths of film itself and of film-mak- ing, myth-making and the unmaking of both. Jamie Townsend writes about the perils of fame and my- thologization of tortured celebrity. Thom Donovan VOLUME kneads nuances of Midsommar and deathless cin- ema screams. Katy Burnett takes on Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, Tarantino’s retelling of the ONE Tate murders, a Hollywood myth which is mostly a truth, and which Tarantino’s film revises. Paul ex- amines Kieslowski’s Dekalog cycle, nominally in- spired by the Ten Commandments but which, over MYTHS ten hours, never names or even remotely alludes to them. Grant writes about Bela Tarr’s The Turin Horse, which mythologizes the man who caused Nietzsche’s mental collapse. We look forward to more adventures in film writ- ing and conversation, in homage to the still-new, still-strange, grand mass camaraderie of cinema.

They like public life, are popular and their company is appreciated. They are balanced, at ease with themselves and usually get on very well with their parents. It’s June 15th, 1959 and Jayne is on the set of Too Hot to Handle getting ready to perform the film’s titular song-and-dance number. There’s something palpable in the air, a slightly dimmed light or chill that precedes the scene of a disaster. At any moment something could go horribly wrong. It’s almost five years into her career Jayne’s star is quickly fading. Overexposure coupled with an almost constant stream of tabloid gossip has reduced the vivacious blonde bombshell persona she pioneered in the mid 50s to mere parody. Recently eclipsed by Marilyn as America’s voluptuous yet vulnerable sexpot in a time where squeaky clean family values were de rigor, at the end of the decade Jayne finds herself in a world more weary, troubled, performing to an audience largely bored with schoolboy titillation. Filming in London with early James Bond impresario Terence Young, Jayne is hoping to recapture some of her early magnetism. 6 7 Buttressed by two men in white tuxedos, Janye love interests—a noble Grecian Queen, and the sciousness by an al- rises in front of the velvet curtain.

  • Alive to Boredom
    Alive to Boredom MARIEL VICTORIA MOK If you ever find yourself looking for something boring to watch, just pick one of Béla Tarr’s films. They are among the most boring films you might ever hope to find: intensely, immersively, and fascinatingly—transcen- dentally, even—boring. Tarr’s The Turin Horse (2011) is almost static, moving at what David Campany, in Photography and Cinema, terms a “glacial tempo” (37). Tarr’s cam- era crawls almost painfully slowly, and the living, breathing humans in the film often move less than the objects around them. The film follows Ohlsdorfer—an elderly man—and his daughter over the course of six days, as they mechanically carry out a routine we can infer was established long ago. Tarr follows their every move, even when what they are doing seems trivial, and even—especially—when they aren’t doing anything at all. In one scene, Ohlsdorfer’s daughter walks to the stove after he lies down to rest; she holds a pot, collects two potatoes, places them inside the pot, and, after pouring water into the pot, begins boiling the potatoes. She sits facing the window, completely still as she looks out and waits. Only the stillness of the scene itself surpasses the stillness of her form: the only movement comes from the leaves that flutter outside, visible through the windowpanes. Tarr’s camera edges steadily until it stops directly behind her, and with a rigid, symmetrical, and static shot, plasters her in a lifeless position of solitude. We look at her back as she looks out the window; the light from the stove occasionally flickers, but beyond that, there is no movement from her or the camera for one and a half minutes.

My guiding intuition in this thesis is that the distinct historical evolutions of film and philosophy intersect in the speculative domain of the Western metaphysical paradigm, as the film medium technologically and aesthetically reestablishes conditions for “truth” within
