She knows nothing about him, he thinks he knows her. He welcomes her into his home, she offers him her body. But the web that is woven between them in the space of twenty-four hours bears no relation to the circumstances of their encounter. 4 5 new awakening Without doubt, there was an underlying sense of gnawing depravity that surfaced in Certified Copy and took me by surprise. I was sure that I already had a good understanding of the work of this film-maker that I have been lucky enough to come across so often in the past 25 years. So I was not expecting his latest film to outstrip the already high opinion I have of his work. Some people like to feel that they can describe and pigeonhole his films as ‘pseudo-simplistic modernism’. But Abbas’ films have never failed to surprise and now here, not for the first time, is a new wake-up call, for me, and I am sure many others.

But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena. She departs with her assistant (Kristen Stewart) to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Chloë Grace Moretz) is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.

    UCLA UCLA Previously Published Works Title “Parasite Cinema,” Image and Narrative, special issue on Artaud and Cruelty, 17.5 (2016), 66-79 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/32j321fb Authors Ravetto-Biagioli, K Beugnet, M Publication Date 2019-10-18 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Martine Beugnet and Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli Parasite Cinema Abstract In Theatre and its Double Artaud explored how the plague communicates beyond simple contact, bringing death to those it touches, but also bringing fear, images, and the imagination, which transforms social rela- tions, disorganising society and producing absurd anti-social actions. In this essay we would like to relate the emergence of a parasite-cinema, one that expresses itself through predatory forms of capture and communica- tion, where images pullulate out of control (but do not destroy the body of the host), to Artaud’s understanding of plague as a proliferation of communication. Résumé Dans Le Théâtre et son double Artaud analyse la manière dont la peste communique au-delà du seul contact physique, apportant la mort à ceux qu’elle touche, mais apportant aussi la peur, des images et l’imagination qui transforme les rapports sociaux, désorganisant la société et produisant des comportements absurdes anti-so- ciaux. Dans cet essai nous nous proposons de mettre en rapport la conception artaudienne de la peste comme forme proliférante de communication avec l’émergence d’une nouvelle forme de cinéma, le cinéma parasite, qui s’exprime à travers des formes prédatrices de capture et de communication, des images qui pullulent en dehors de tout contrôle (mais sans détruire le corps de celui qui les accueille).

  • Persian Or Islamic? Depictions of Love in Contemporary Iranian Cinema
    Anne Démy-Geroe Persian or Islamic? Depictions of Love in Contemporary Iranian Cinema IRANIAN CINEMA HAS been showered with gold, silver and bronze Leopards, Lions, Bears, Seashells and Palms from the major international film festivals since Abbas Kiarostami won his first international award in 1989: a Bronze Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival for Where is the Friend’s House. In more recent times, internationally and domestically, cinema has become the cultural marker of Iran and a major site of conflict between the government and its filmmakers. Yet it is poetry that perhaps best reflects Iran’s 2,500-year history as its most significant and enduring cultural achievement and export. The influence of Iranian poets, such as that of Hafiz on Goethe1, are as well- known as the fact that Rumi is the best-selling poet today in the United States.
