    Name_____________________ Date__________________ Film & Literature Mr. Corbo Film & Literature “Underneath their surfaces, all movies, even the most blatantly commercial ones, contain layers of complexity and meaning that can be studied, analyzed and appreciated.” --Richard Barsam, Looking at Movies Curriculum Outline Form and Function: To equip students, by raising their awareness of the development and complexities of the cinema, to read and write about films as trained and informed viewers. From this base, students can progress to a deeper understanding of film and the proper in-depth study of cinema. By the end of this course, you will have a deeper sense of the major components of film form and function and also an understanding of the “language” of film. You will write essays which will discuss and analyze several of the films we will study using accurate vocabulary and language relating to cinematic methods and techniques. Just as an author uses literary devices to convey ideas in a story or novel, filmmakers use specific techniques to present their ideas on screen in the world of the film.

    1/11/2020 Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ‘Get Smart’ and Adapt ‘The Graduate,’ Dies at 89 - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2N7atsQ Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ʻGet Smartʼ and Adapt ʻThe Graduate,ʼ Dies at 89 An unassuming screenwriter and actor, Mr. Henry thought up quirky characters with Mel Brooks and inhabited many more on “Saturday Night Live.” By Bruce Weber Published Jan. 9, 2020 Updated Jan. 10, 2020 Buck Henry, a writer and actor who exerted an often overlooked but potent influence on television and movie comedy — creating the loopy prime-time spy spoof “Get Smart” with Mel Brooks, writing the script for Mike Nichols’s landmark social satire “The Graduate” and teaming up with John Belushi in the famous samurai sketches on “Saturday Night Live” — died on Wednesday in Los Angeles. He was 89. His wife, Irene Ramp, said his death, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was caused by a heart attack. John Belushi, left, and Mr. Henry in the 1978 “Saturday Night Live” sketch “Samurai Optometrist.” Fred Hermansky/NBCUniversal via Getty Images As a personality and a performer, Mr. Henry had a mild and unassuming aspect that was usually in contrast with the pungently satirical or broadly slapstick material he appeared in — and often wrote. Others in the room always seemed to make more noise. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/movies/buck-henry-dead.html 1/6 1/11/2020 Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ‘Get Smart’ and Adapt ‘The Graduate,’ Dies at 89 - The New York Times Indeed, for almost 50 years he was a Zelig-like figure in American comedy, a ubiquitous if underrecognized presence not only in grand successes but also in grand failures.

Centering on the reminiscences of Rose McNulty, a woman who has spent over fifty years in state institutions, The Secret Scripture is a deeply moving story of love lost and redeemed, against the backdrop of an emerging Irish state in which female sexuality and independence unsettles the colluding patriarchies of church and nationalist politics. Demonstrating Sheridan’s trademark skill with actors, his profound sense of story, and depth of feeling for Irish social history, The Secret Scripture marks a return to personal themes for the writer-director as well as a reunion with producer Noel Pearson, almost a quarter of a century after their breakout success with My Left Foot.

  • Jewish Humor and Commercial Entertainment in Twentieth-Century America and Central Europe
    Jewish Humor and Commercial Entertainment in Twentieth-Century America and Central Europe Spring 2019 Mary Gluck Jewish Studies Program Central European University General Introduction: Jewish humor is universally celebrated for its wit and creativity. It is just as frequently criticized for its negative stereotypes of Jews. The seminar attempts to explain this contradiction by focusing on the complex historical function of Jewish humor in early twentieth-century America and Central Europe. It argues that Jewish humor in the modern period was both transgressive and integrative, challenging existing taboos and institutions, but also envisioning new social possibilities and cultural identities. These dual impulses found expression in a variety of forms, ranging from joke books, musical recordings, satirical magazines, jargon theaters, all the way to institutions of mass entertainment such as Vaudeville, music hall, Broadway and Hollywood. The course will explore these different manifestations of Jewish humor and ask how they created a new form of minority discourse that fostered inclusion even while emphasizing difference. The seminar will conclude with a look at contemporary iterations of Jewish humor in the work of Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Sarah Silverman, Sacha Baron Cohen and others. Requirements: Students are expected to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned readings. In addition, all students are required to make a presentation on a reading recommended for one of the weekly topics. Finally, students are asked to write a research paper of roughly 4,000 words on a topic of their choice, which is due at the end of the semester. The final paper should be linked to the themes discussed during the term.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dafina McMillan May 21, 2013 [email protected] | 212-609-5955 Available from TCG Books: I’ll Eat You Last and Peter and Alice by John Logan NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the availability of two new plays by John Logan: I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers and Peter and Alice, both published by Oberon Books (London). The three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter of such films as Skyfall and Hugo returns with two new plays on Broadway and in London’s West End, respectively. I’ll Eat You Last is a one-woman show about legendary Hollywood super-agent Sue Mengers, whose clients included Barbra Streisand, Cher, Gene Hackman and Mike Nichols. Currently on Broadway, starring Bette Midler, I’ll Eat You Last is nominated for the 2013 Drama League awards for Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Play. Based on the real individuals that inspired J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan and Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Peter and Alice tells the story of when Alice Liddell Hargreaves met Peter Llewelyn Davies at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932. Currently playing to acclaim in the West End, Judi Dench stars as Alice and Ben Whishaw as Peter in this new play where enchantment and reality collide. “A delectable soufflé of a solo show… It’s a heady sensation, thanks to the buoyant, witty writing of Mr. Logan… Tangy and funny.” — New York Times on I’ll Eat You Last “A haunting play that sounds profound notes of loss and grief..
