  • David Mamet at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica As Part of NOIR CITY: HOLLYWOOD 2020
    DAVID MODERN NOIR MASTER MAMETIN CONVERSATION WITH EDDIE MULLER n one of the last Film Noir Foundation public events before the Coronavirus curtain dropped, Eddie Muller hosted an evening with multifaceted writer-director David Mamet at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica as part of NOIR CITY: HOLLYWOOD 2020. The festival was put on ice just days later. Muller surprised Mamet by presenting him with the FNF’s Modern Noir Master award (previous recipients: Stephen Frears and James IEllroy). House of Games (1987), Mamet’s debut feature as writer-director, was screened for a capacity crowd that included its star, Joe Mantegna, and the post-film talk was lively, fiery, and fun. As a coda, Mamet selected a personal noir favorite to be screened (not one of his own). The audience that night was fortunate to witness this unique event, especially as it happened only days before California put stay-at-home orders into effect. Here are highlights from a spirited conversa- tion between Muller and the filmmaker he introduced as “America’s greatest living storyteller.” Muller and Mamet meet pre-show outside the Aero Theatre Photo by Sasha Lebedeva 12 NOIR CITY I NUMBER 29 I filmnoirfoundation.org filmnoirfoundation.org I NUMBER 29 I NOIR CITY 13 Joe Mantegna, a colleague of Mamet’s from their Chicago theater days, costarred with Mamet’s then-wife Lindsay Crouse in House of Games, Mamet’s directorial debut and the first of several cinema tales he’d spin revolving around “confidence” Eddie Muller: The Film Noir Foundation not only aims to restore trying to get ahead in the world, you know?

  • An Interview with David Mamet
    An Interview with David Mamet by Matthew C. Roudane Source: http://www.upstartfilmcollective.com/portfolios/jcharnick/mamet-museum/old-interview.html The interview with David Mamet took place 4 December 1984. The conversation was originally to be held in the playwright's Cabot, Vermont home, a renovated farmhouse near Montpelier where he does much of his writing. However, last minute changes prompted Mamet to fly to New York City, so we met at The Players, a club for actors, playwrights, and others committed to the theater. The club is near Mamet's New York home, where he lives with his actress wife, Lindsay Crouse, and their young daughter. They divide the time between their Vermont home and their New York City dwelling. Located next to Gramercy Park, The Players made for an ideal setting for our conversation. When Mamet entered dressed in a dark suit, I was struck by his physical presence: crew-cut hair, thick neck, solid shoulders, stocky frame. No wonder, I thought, he was a wrestler in his Chicago high school days. Whereas a recent interview with Mamet concentrates on Mamet's life (Hank Nuwer, "Two Gentlemen of Chicago: David Mamet and Stuart Gordon," South Carolina Review 17 [Spring 1985]: 9-20), the present conversation deals with his art. Over coffee on a clear, cold, and dry day, Mamet voiced his opinions, not only about his dramaturgy, but about the contemporary theatre as well. He spoke directly, precisely, looking eye-to-eye across the oak table. Mamet's Chicago accent, at times, made him sound like many of his characters as he spoke about his work, Havana in hand.

  • Taylor-Frames-Cons-Double-Crosses.Pdf
    1 Henry M. Taylor Frames, Cons, and Double-Crosses The Theatrical Cinema of David Mamet The terms ―theatrical‖ and ―theatricality,‖ when used in conjunction with film, usually have negative connotations. An actor's film performance, for instance, tends to be denigrated by being qualified as ―theatrical.‖ Underlying the semantics of such a use of the term is the idea that the medium film is characterised by an essence completely distinct from that of the theatre. Thus, to call a film performance, or worse, a film as such, theatrical, is to point out its having missed the medium's true nature. In classical realist film theory, as best exemplified by Siegfried Kracauer and André Bazin, the ontogeny of film is tied to its base in photography, and both theorist-critics come up with a clear sense of what separates the cinema from the theatre. Hence, for Kracauer in his Theory of Film the cinematic essence is photography's penchant for openness, unbounded- ness, the material specifics of the everyday, the very small (as in a large close-up) and the very large (as in a long shot); Kracauer's ideal film, fulfilling the medium's properties to the utmost, would be a semi-documentary, episodic narrative with a contemporary setting, and featuring lots of ―real‖ people (lay actors playing themselves). Both films set in the past, such as the genre of the historical film, or speculative fiction, such as fantasy and science fiction, are necessarily bounded, the costumed actors and fabricated or controlled settings giving off an ―unfilmic‖ air of artificiality and theatricality.1 Bazin, for his part, while allowing for cinema as an impure art – which it undoubtedly is –, and certainly not as averse to the theatrical as Kracauer, sees cinema's essence nonetheless in the indexical nature of photography mummifying the fleeting moments of reality and bringing them back to life.
