    CICLO DE CINE La voz de Constantino Romero II El golpe George Roy Hill (1973) 2 de agosto de 2013, 17.30 h Título original: The Sting. Dirección: George Roy Hill. Productores: Tony Bill, Julia Phillips, Michael Phillips. Productores ejecutivos: David Brown, Richard D. Zanuck. Productor asociado: Robert Crawford Jr. Producción: Zanuck/Brown Productions, Universal Pictures. Guion: David S. Ward. Fotografía: Robert Surtees. Música: Scott Joplin, adaptado por Marvin Hamslisch. Montaje: William Reynolds. Dirección artística: Henry Bumstead. Intérpretes: Paul Newman (Henry Gondorff), Robert Redford (Johnny Hooker), Robert Shaw (Doyle Lonnegan), Charles Durning (teniente William Snyder), Ray Walston (J. J. Singleton), Eileen Brennan (Billie), Harold Gould (Kid Twist), John Heffernan (Eddie Niles), Dana Elcar (agente del F.B.I. Polk), Jack Kehoe, Dimitra Arliss, Robert Earl Jones, James Sloyan, Charles Dierkop, Lee Paul, Sally Kirkland, Avon Long, Arch Johnson, Ed Bakey, Brad Sullivan... Nacionalidad y año: Estados Unidos 1973. Duración y datos técnicos: 129 min. Color 1.85:1. Posiblemente El golpe sea una de las películas más populares de los setenta, y mucha gente la valore como una de las más ingeniosas, debido al siempre atractivo tema de los “pillos simpáticos” y la de los intrincados juegos de azar plagados de inventiva. Este mérito corresponde, desde luego, al guionista, David S. Ward, en ésta su segunda película, tras la muy poco conocida Material americano (Steelhard Blues, 1973), de Alan Myerson. No puede decirse, en todo caso, que tras El golpe (por el cual ganó un Oscar, y fue candidato a los premios Edgar Allan Poe, los Globo de Oro y la Writers Guild of America), tuviera una carrera demasiado lucida: su siguiente guion apareció en 1982, con Destinos sin rumbo (Cannery Row, 1982), su debut en la dirección, seguida de la secuela El golpe II (The Sting II, 1983), de un director que merece más crédito del que se le suele dar, Jeremy Kagan.

    **click here to access to the french version** BRICE DELLSPERGER Solitaires Exhibition from June 20 to July 30, 2020 43, rue de la Commune de Paris F-93230 Romainville For his new solo sow at Air de Paris, Brice Dellsperger presents two new films «Body Double 36» and «Body Double 37». «My Body Double videos are like doubles of movie sequences from the 70s or 80s: the title refers to Brian de Palma’s film (Body Double, 1984). To this day the series includes forty films with various running times, where the obsessive motif is the body of the double in mainstream movies. Following a rigorous but emancipating process, each selected scene is re-enacted by a single transvestite actor or actress, a super character who interprets all the parts by becoming double.» By appropriating the linear/ authoritarian form of a movie, the Body Double films aim at disrupting normative sexual genres through the means of a camp aesthetic.» Body Double 36 (2019) After Perfect (James Bridges, 1985) with Jean Biche. Aerobics were the fashion in the 80s! James Bridges’ Perfect was released in 1985. The film superficially describes human relationships in a gym club in Los Angeles, seen through the eyes of a journalist (John Travolta) who is beguiled by an androgynous gym coach (Jamie Lee Curtis). Studies on the postmodern body in contemporary American society are linked to the context of the 80s, a period which recognized an ideal body-object caught up by the AIDS epidemic. The identification of the HIV virus had a major influence on the perception and representation of bodies and sexuality.

His mother, Charlestown Chiefs owner Anita McCambridge, wasn’t above violence in hockey as long as she could make a profi t from it, but she’d be damned if she would ever allow her children to watch the sport. Kids are impressionable, you see. They might stick up a bank. Heroin. You name it. ImagineCOPYRIGHTED Anita’s horror at learning MATERIALthat the members of her former hockey team, the scourge of the Federal League, over time had evolved but not necessarily changed; they’re still the face of goon hockey at its peak.

  • David Mamet - Edited by Christopher Bigsby Excerpt More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521894689 - The Cambridge Companion to David Mamet - Edited by Christopher Bigsby Excerpt More information 1 CHRISTOPHER BIGSBY David Mamet In 1974, a play set in part in a singles bar, laced with obscene language and charged with a seemingly frenetic energy, was voted Best Chicago Play. Transferred to Off Off and Off Broadway it picked up an Obie Award. Sexual Perversity in Chicago was not David Mamet’s first play, but it did mark the beginning of a career that would astonish in both its range and depth. The following year American Buffalo opened at Chicago’s Goodman The- atre in an “alternative season.” It was well received and opened on Broadway fifteen months later where it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. It ran for 135 performances, hardly a failure but in the hit or miss world of New York, not a copper-bottomed success either. Nonetheless, in three years he had announced his arrival in unequivocal terms. David Mamet came as something of a shock, not least because his first public success, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, seemed brutally direct in terms of its language and subject, as did American Buffalo. But it was already clear to many that here was a distinctive talent, albeit one that some critics found difficult to assess, not least because of his characters’ scatological language and fractured syntax, along with the apparent absence, in his plays, of a conventional plot. They praised what they took to be his linguistic naturalism, as though his intent had been to offer an insight into the cultural lower depths while capturing the precise rhythms of contemporary speech (though he did invoke Gorky’s The Lower Depths as being, like a number of his own plays, a study in stasis).
