  • Cine Japonés: Tradición Y Condicionantes Creativos Actuales
    Historia y Comunicación Social ISSN: 1137-0734 Vol. 7 (2002) 253-266 Cine japonés: Tradición y condicionantes creativos actuales. Una revisión histórica ANA MARÍA SEDEÑO VALDELLÓS RESUMEN El artículo trata de resumir las fases fundamentales del cine nipón, desde su naci- miento documental a finales del siglo XIX hasta los inicios del nuevo milenio. Se des- criben y ordenan las etapas básicas de su desarrollo, se buscan las causas históricas, sociales y culturales que explican la especial configuración de una filmografía incom- parable, exótica y, a la vez, tan cercana, una de los más prestigiosas del panorama ci- nematográfico mundial. ABSTRACT This article tries to sum up the basic phases of japanese cinematography, from its origin at the end of the niniteen century to the beginning of this millenium. The essen- tial stages are described and put in order, the historical, social and cultural reasons are searched. They all expound the special shape of this exotic cinema, one of the worthier in the world scene. 1. INTRODUCCIÓN En el presente artículo van a repasarse algunos de los acontecimientos his- tóricos que han condicionado el cine del país del sol naciente: elementos de la tradición más ancestral, imperialismos económicos y burocráticos... Todo esto ha marcado una de las industrias más prolíficas del mundo, absolutamente misteriosa para la mayoría de los habitantes del planeta y de la que los críticos y expertos cinematográficos no ha visto ni la mitad de la producción existente, mientras la otra parte es inaccesible (duerme en cinematecas remotas) o ha de- saparecido. Una cinematografía compleja llena de matices estilísticos y con una extraordinaria variedad de géneros, subgéneros y temas que han evolucionado rápidamente en el último siglo bajo dos estigmas históricos: el gran peso de la 253 Ana M.a Sedeño Valdellós Cine japonés: Tradición y condicionantes creativos actuales tradición, folklore y hábitos sociales nipones y la necesidad de un vínculo co- mercial con la industria occidental, sobre todo desde la ocupación norteameri- cana de la posguerra.

  • Suggested Texts for Teaching Film to A-Level Language Students
    School of Languages, Cultures and Societies (2015) Suggested texts for teaching film to A-Level language students Each of the academics representing an area of language/culture study in the videos has also offered some general notes and advice surrounding texts which could help support the teaching of each relevant area. French (Diana Holmes) Films Truffaut Les 400 Coups (1959) – iconic New Wave film, interesting formally, but also about childhood, schooldays, relations with adults. Intensely moving as well as wonderful cinema – and introduces an important director. Louis Malle’s Au Revoir les enfants (1987). Relevant for any study of Occupation years, but also a good film and important director. Malle’s Lacombe Lucien (1974) is possibly even better. (Fairly) recent commercial successes such as Jeunet’s Amélie (2001) or Les Intouchables (Toledano and Nakache, 2011) – or Tout ce qui brille by Géraldine Nakache (2010) would be interesting to do, looking in part at the reasons for their popularity. This year’s Bande de filles (Céline Sciamma – a very interesting director). There is the unavoidable La Haine – very predictable choice, but it always goes down well and it is brilliant.

Inhalt Roy und Denise Solomon ziehen mit ihrer Teenager-Tochter Jess und ihrem kleinen Sohn Ben in ein entlegenes Farmhaus in einem Sonnenblumenfeld in North Dakota. Dass sich dort womöglich übernatürliche Dinge abspielen könnten, bleibt von den Erwachsenen unbemerkt. Aber Ben und kurz darauf Jess spüren bald, dass nicht alles mit rechten Dingen zugeht. Weil ihr die Eltern nicht glauben wollen, recherchiert Jess auf eigene Faust und erfährt, dass sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause sechs Jahre zuvor ein bestialischer Mord abgespielt hat. Kritik Für sein amerikanisches Debüt hat sich das umtriebige Brüderpaar Danny und Oxide Pang („The Eye“) eine Variante von „Amityville Horror“ ausgesucht, um eine amerikanische Durchschnittsfamilie nach allen Regeln der Kunst mit übernatürlichem Terror zu überziehen.

  • CLASSICAL MUSIC in CINEMA the Purpose of the Course Will Be To
    CLASSICAL MUSIC IN CINEMA The purpose of the course will be to explore and understand the use of classical music in art movies starting with The Birth of a Nation in 1915 up until today. Films will be screened partially, and musical extracts will discussed. The 12 week lectures start with a historical introduction into the utilisation of classical music in the early era of cinema. Diegetic and non-diegetic music and their particular use will then be discussed. A discussion on the effect of leitmotivs and classical music as a device supporting the narrative will follow. After this three-week introduction, we will explore classical music used as leitmotiv and supporting narrative, then films on opera and opera in films, and the use of classical music in period movies. We will then examine the way how specific pieces of music have added to some of the greatest dramas and films of the past. Finally, the course will conclude with a discussion of auteur cinema and cover how seven essential directors have used music in their films; Bunuel, Bresson, Bergman, Pasolini, Kubrick, Godard, Tarkovsky and Fassbinder. Extracts from almost 100 films are intended to be shown and discussed. There will be no requirement for pre-lecture reading, screening or preparation. However, attendance will be obligatory, since grades will only be based on attendance, performance in class and homework in the form of essays. Screenings of assignments will be made in class. Week 1 (9 February 2015): General introduction Features D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation [1915] Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin [1925] Fritz Lang’s Metropolis [1927] David Lean’s Brief Encounter [1945] Giuseppe Tornatore’s Cinema Paradiso [1988] Luc Besson’s Leon [1994] Readings [None.

  • Redirected from Films Considered the Greatest Ever) Page Semi-Protected This List Needs Additional Citations for Verification
    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.

    H-France Review Volume 19 (2019) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 19 (February 2019), No. 25 Prakash Younger, Boats on the Marne: Jean Renoir’s Critique of Modernity.
