The possibilities shot up out of the ground from before me like Milton's Pandemonium from the soil of hell. Of course, this assignment ultimately turned out to be much less intimidating and filled with demons than that, but at the time, it felt as though it would be. When you're an English major like I am, your choices are simultaneously extremely numerous and severely restricted, mostly by my inability to write convincingly or sufficiently about most topics. However, after much deliberation and agonizing, I realized that something I am good at is writing about film.

  • The Humorous View of a Psychotic Break in Raising Arizona, by the Coen Brothers
    The Humorous View of a Psychotic Break in Raising Arizona, by the Coen Brothers Thoughts on the bizarre object. Robert A.W. Northey Raising Arizona, the second film by the now well known writer/director duo, Joel and Ethan Coen, was released in 1987. Many of the actors in the film were relatively unknown at the time. The young Nicolas Cage had just caught attention starring beside Cher in Moonstruck, with a few smaller roles in some feature films before that. Holly Hunter was relatively unknown. Frances McDormand had recognition for her stage acting with one Tony nomination, otherwise a few television series and one feature film, Blood Simple, the first Coen brothers film (know that she is married to Joel Coen). John Goodman had been in a few films, but his fame from the TV series Rosanne was still ahead of him. Raising Arizona is a film I know well, first seeing it shortly after it was released, and having re- watched it at least a dozen times since then. The quirky comedy speaks to my sense of humour, and it was an early lesson to me about the art of making film, and of telling a story. Reviewing it more recently from a psychoanalytic perspective has brought me great joy as I was able to discover yet more in this film that I love. Could this story be told in any other way than a comedy? Certainly a story of a childless couple, devastated by their inability to have a child, kidnapping a baby to try and fill the need, hiding the crime from inquiring friends, and being hunted by police and bounty hunters, might be possible as a drama; but would it be watchable or relatable or on any level believable? I would suggest that the story as a comedy nullifies believability as a concern.

  • Il Cinema Dei Fratelli Coen: Declinazioni Del Vuoto 1
    Il cinema dei fratelli Coen: declinazioni del vuoto Introduzione Joel e Ethan Coen esordiscono come registi negli anni Ottanta, epoca in cui è lo stesso concetto di autore – e quindi anche quello di regista – a tornare di moda, ma al tempo stesso si trasforma: l’artista non è più creatore, ma imitatore, in un momento storico in cui si riconosce di non aver più nulla da dire. Come infatti sottolinea Buccheri, “non cerca una voce personale, ma uno stile che gli dia visibilità, un’estetica come marchio e come look – si mette in scena, offrendo il proprio corpo allo “scandalo evangelico”, in una deriva dell’autobiografismo politico degli anni Sessanta”1. E in questo giudizio di valore sono coinvolti anche i fratelli Coen che, come Brian De Palma, o Woody Allen, sono spesso stati definiti manieristi; termine inteso in questo contesto come imitatori prima che della natura, di altro cinema a sé precedente. Tuttavia, nonostante critici come Paolo Cerchi Usai abbia riportato, su “Segnocinema”, come “il loro cinema sia senza motivo, ma abbiano deciso di fare ugualmente cinema nel nome della sua inutilità”2, l’attitudine dei due registi è in realtà profondamente critica riguardo al materiale usato: dietro all’apparenza leggera infatti, si nasconde una critica radicale agli stereotipi e simboli della vita americana e in generale alla vita contemporanea, come il consumismo, la ristrettezza mentale della provincia, la ruralità, la libertà dell’arte, la controcultura stessa. I personaggi che portano in scena hanno corpi sgraziati, spesso grotteschi (si pensi a quelli interpretati da Steve Buscemi, uno degli attori feticcio del cinema dei due fratelli), e sono destinati ad un’irrimediabile alienazione, che arriva a distruggerli, persi nelle rete delle rappresentazioni e leggi sociali.
