  • James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart, Melissa Leo
    Arsenal Filmverleih präsentiert: James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart, Melissa Leo Willkommen bei den Rileys Ein Film von Jake Scott USA 2010, 110 Min., 1:1,85, Dolby Digital OFFICIAL SELECTION SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2010 OFFICIAL SELECTION BERLINALE 2010 OFFICIAL SELECTION LOS ANGELES FILM FESTIVAL 2010 Bundesstart: 7. April 2011 PRESSEHEFT Die Geschichte Auf einer Geschäftsreise trifft Doug Riley (James Gandolfini, bekannt aus „Die Sopranos“) in einem Stripclub in New Orleans auf die Ausreißerin Mallory (Kristen Stewart, Star der „Twilight“-Verfilmungen). Doug fühlt sich hingezogen zu der jungen Tänzerin: nicht wegen ihrer professionellen Angebote, sondern weil sie ihn an seine Tochter erinnert, die vor acht Jahren bei einem Unfall ums Leben kam. Ein Verlust, den weder seine Frau Loïs (Melissa Leo, Oscar-nominiert für „The Fighter“) noch er verkraftet haben. Doug nimmt sich auf väterliche Weise der jungen Frau an und beschließt, in New Orleans zu bleiben. Eine Entscheidung, die seine Ehefrau aus ihrer Erstarrung reißt und die Ehe der Rileys durcheinanderwirbelt. Regisseur Jake Scott, der bislang vor allem durch seine Musikvideos für Tori Amos, R.E.M. und U2 sowie durch seinen Film „Plunkett & Mclean“ bekannt wurde, ist der Sohn von Ridley Scott und der Neffe von Tony Scott – beide haben den Independent-Film mitproduziert. Interview mit dem Regisseur Jake Scott Worum geht es in Ihrem Film? Wie kam es zu dem Projekt und wie wurden die Schauspieler ausgesucht? WILLKOMMEN BEI DEN RILEYS ist die Geschichte eines Mannes, der sich durch das zufällige Kennenlernen einer jungen Stripperin endlich seiner Trauer um seine Tochter stellt. Der Film handelt davon, dass man lernen muss, mit den nicht zu steuernden Ereignissen im Leben umzugehen.

  • Filmic Tomboy Narrative and Queer Feminist Spectatorship
    UNHAPPY MEDIUM: FILMIC TOMBOY NARRATIVE AND QUEER FEMINIST SPECTATORSHIP A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lynne Stahl May 2015 © 2015 Lynne Stahl ALL RIGHTS RESERVED UNHAPPY MEDIUM: FILMIC TOMBOY NARRATIVE AND QUEER FEMINIST SPECTATORSHIP Lynne Stahl, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the ways in which American discourses of gender, sexuality, and emotion structure filmic narrative and the ways in which filmic narrative informs those discourses in turn. It approaches this matter through the figure of the tomboy, vastly undertheorized in literary scholarship, and explores the nodes of resistance that film form, celebrity identity, and queer emotional dispositions open up even in these narratives that obsessively domesticate their tomboy characters and pair them off with male love interests. The first chapter theorizes a mode of queer feminist spectatorship, called infelicitous reading, around the incoherently “happy” endings of tomboy films and obligatorily tragic conclusions of lesbian films; the second chapter links the political and sexual ambivalences of female-centered sports films to the ambivalent results of Title IX; and the third chapter outlines a type of queer reproductivity and feminist paranoia that emerges cumulatively in Jodie Foster’s body of work. Largely indebted to the work of Judith Butler, Lauren Berlant, and Sara Ahmed, this project engages with past and present problematics in the fields of queer theory, feminist film criticism, and affect studies—questions of nondichotomous genders, resistant spectatorship and feminist potential within linear narrative, and the chronological cues that dominant ideology builds into our understandings of gender, sexuality, narrative, and emotions.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.
