  • Gian Maria Volonte:Programme Notes.Qxd
    A Bullet for the General Italy | 1966 | 135 minutes Credits In Brief Director Damiano Damiani Considered by its director to be a political film rather than a western, this critique Screenplay Salvatore Laurani, Franco Solinas of US imperialism sees Volonte’s Mexican bandit Chuncho gradually become politically aware as a result of his manipulation by a US secret agent — a role Music Luis Bacalov played by Lou Castel, ironically another committed left-wing actor. Photography Antonio Secchi Cast Chuncho Gian Maria Volonté El Santo Klaus Kinski Adelita Martine Beswick Bill 'Niño' Tate Lou Castel While the Italian spaghetti westerns of the mid- 60s and 70s dealt with some minor political issues, mostly American capitalism, there was a separate subgenre of the spaghetti western called Zapata westerns that dared to go deeper. Zapata westerns were usually dealing directly with the Mexican Revolution of 1913 and were much more politically charged than the regular spaghetti westerns, which would often set the Mexican Revolution in the background. These Zapata westerns would usually be critical of US foreign policy, the Vietnam War, fascism, capitalism, and were usually made from a Marxist point of view. Perhaps one of the most popular and recognizable Zapata westerns aside from Sergio Leone’s Duck, You Sucker is the 1966 film A Bullet for the General, which was directed by Damiano Damiani. Relentlessly thrilling, refreshingly comical, and unafraid to embrace plenty of action, A Bullet for the General is not only the first Zapata western, but also one of the most fun spaghetti westerns out there. Beautifully shot, sharply written, and carried by unforgettable performances from Gian Maria Volonté, who found stardom through Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, and Klaus Kinski, the man who played the creepiest Dracula the world has ever seen, A Bullet for the General is an epic and sweeping journey with a powerhouse climax.

  • Inside the Secret World of the Geisha
    2019 Spring Semester Inside the Secret World of the Geisha Section 1 Instructor/Title Professor Arif Iqball 【Course Outline / Description】 Painted by Picasso, sculpted by Rodin, entertainers to Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and US Presidents, yet the role and image of the Japanese Geisha has often been misinterpreted outside Japan, and has shaped Western stereotypes about Japan and Japanese women. Being historically closed in a world of secrecy, not many Japanese either have been able to get access to this world with its own rules and etiquette, and with very little documentation. This course examines the primary role of the Geisha in Japan as an artist and an entertainer encompassing a variety of important social, cultural, and historical elements. Leveraging the instructor’s personal connections and research, a field trip to a seasonal dance performance, and conversations with current Geisha, as well as use of academic literature and visual documentation including historical photographs, documentaries and movie representations, this course attempts to provide a complete cultural experience to the Asian and Japanese Studies student on the true role and place of these artists in Japanese culture, and in a traditional world which runs parallel (and yet is completely different than) to the modern Japanese world of manga, anime, and robots. With emphasis on the Geisha of the five Kagai (performance districts) in Kyoto, this course not only explores the historical and cultural elements, but also introduces this relatively unknown and closed

King Course Time & Location: Fridays, Online/Zoom/D2L 2:00-4:30 F Office: ART ANNEX (Shop) Office Hours: 8-5 Shop / M-TH Office Phone: 468-4416 Email: [email protected] Prerequisites: I. Course Description: This course will serve as an introduction to the European western film; more specifically, the films termed "spaghetti westerns" of the Italian cinema during the 1960's and '70's. We will study the artistic merits of such films, but we shall also take a greater view of the subject matter, hypothesizing the links to the sociopolitical situations in existence at the time, and how these conditions may have had an artistic impact on the films themselves. We are also interested in the larger art scene at whole, and how established movements, such as Symbolism, Surrealism and Expressionism may have had an impact on film-making at the time, intentional or not. Lastly, we are interested in the myth and reality of the American "Old West", and how these films interpreted this time period. By understanding the “bigger picture” to the phenomenon of the European western film, students can start to investigate and question arenas surrounding the films themselves; such as art movements and their influences, as well as political, social and historical concerns, along with the study of the technical merits of the film themselves. II. Intended Learning Outcomes/Goals/Objectives (Program/Student Learning Outcomes): We will study, through lecture, interaction and viewing of the films themselves, what established the notions of the western film and what possible explanations may exist as to why this genre came into being, thus influencing our modern perceptions of not only cinema, but society and our perceptions of reality.

  • • ASC Archival Photos
    ASC Archival Photos – All Captions Draft 8/31/2018 Affair in Trinidad - R. Hayworth (1952).jpg The film noir crime drama Affair in Trinidad (1952) — directed by Vincent Sherman and photographed by Joseph B. Walker, ASC — stars Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford and was promoted as a re-teaming of the stars of the prior hit Gilda (1946). Considered a “comeback” effort following Hayworth’s difficult marriage to Prince Aly Khan, Trinidad was the star's first picture in four years and Columbia Pictures wanted one of their finest cinematographers to shoot it. Here, Walker (on right, wearing fedora) and his crew set a shot on Hayworth over Ford’s shoulder. Dick Tracy – W. Beatty (1990).jpg Directed by and starring Warren Beatty, Dick Tracy (1990) was a faithful ode to the timeless detective comic strip. To that end, Beatty and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, ASC, AIC — seen here setting a shot during production — rendered the film almost entirely in reds, yellows and blues to replicate the look of the comic. Storaro earned an Oscar nomination for his efforts. The two filmmakers had previously collaborated on the period drama Reds and later on the political comedy Bullworth. Cries and Whispers - L. Ullman (1974).jpg Swedish cinematographer Sven Nykvist, ASC operates the camera while executing a dolly shot on actress Liv Ullman, capturing an iconic moment in Cries and Whispers (1974), directed by friend and frequent collaborator Ingmar Bergman. “Motion picture photography doesn't have to look absolutely realistic,” Nykvist told American Cinematographer. “It can be beautiful and realistic at the same time.

  • Kihachi Okamoto Nace En 1924 En Yonago, Totori
    Kihachi Okamoto Nace en 1924 en Yonago, Totori. Se traslada a Tokio en 1941 para ingresar en la Universidad Meiji. Allí se convierte en un ávido cinéfago, aficionado a las películas estadounidenses de acción y a las comedias francesas. Se gradúa en 1943 y entra en la Toho como ayudante de producción. Poco después es reclutado y llevado a la escuela del ejército para oficiales en la reserva, desde donde vio el final de la guerra. En 1945 vuelve a Tokio y trabaja como ayudante de dirección para Taniguchi, Makino o Naruse. En 1957 la Toho anuncia un proceso de selección para ascender a los ayudantes de dirección que presentaran el mejor guión. La sinopsis de ¡Oh, mi bomba! y el guión de El forajido solitario le hicieron ganar el ascenso y para su debut se le asignó la comedia Todo sobre el matrimonio, en 1958. El forajido solitario, su quinta película, basada en su propio guión, fue un enorme éxito en 1959. Su reputación se construyó en paralelo a la de otros cineastas jóvenes del momento: Suzuki, Masumura, Imamura y Oshima. Se convirtió en el director habitual de las películas de acción de la Toho. En 1974 creó la productora Kihachi y se despidió de Toho. Aunque es un director relativamente desconocido en Occidente, sus historias llenas de humor y ritmo son muy populares en Japón. Murió el 19 de febrero de 2005 cuando estaba a punto de comenzar su película número 40. Una reescritura del cine de género “Si Kurosawa es el John Ford de las películas de samuráis, Okamoto es el Samuel Fuller del género” dijo en una ocasión el crítico estadounidense Bruce Eder.
