Sydneypollack SydneyPollack Peter Schepelern Sydney Pollack tilhører Hollywoods nye generation. Lige­ som Coppola, Jewison, Nichols, Peckinpah, Peerce, Perry, Roy Hili, Schaffner, Silverstein og Smight kom han frem i 60’erne. 60’er-generationen har måske ikke så store talenter som den foregående generation har i Frankenheimer, Penn og Kubrick; men den rummer en lang række af disse udmærkede håndværkere, som vi­ derefører Hollywoods i 1930’erne grundlagte tradition for velfortalte, velspillede film, der lægger vægten på historien. Pollack er ingen fornyer, men et eksempel på denne type moderate kunstnere, som Hollywood giver de bedste vilkår og som også udfolder sig bedst inden for et traditionsbestemt og professionalistisk miljø. Han er — ligesom Silverstein, Smight, Peerce og Peckinpah — kommet fra TV, hvor han bl. a. instruerede »Preston & Søn«. Hans første film, »The Siender Thread« (Stemmen i telefonen), beskrives som et ikke helt vel­ lykket melodrama med kriminalistisk islæt. Den er base­ ret på autentisk materiale fra en LIFE-artikel og fortæller om en kvinde (Anne Bancroft), som ringer op til en ’Crisis Clinic’ og fortæller den vagthavende (Sidney Poi- tier) om, hvorfor hun har taget sovepiller. Samtidig med at hun redegør for sine bevæggrunde (cherchez l’homme!) og forhistorien oprulles i flashbacks, får vagthavende startet eftersøgningen af kvinden, og det lykkes til sidst — på et hængende hår (jf. originaltitlen) — at redde hende. Billedmæssigt er der en del kamera-numre, mere eller mindre motiverede, men det bemærkelsesværdige skal være Anne Bancrofts spil. Pollack har også siden vist særlige evner som kvindeinstruktør: Nathalie Wood i »This Property Is Condemned«, Jane Fonda i »They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?« og — ukrediteret — Janice Rule i en episode i Perrys »The Swimmer« (Klædt af til skindet). Efter den ubetydeligste start kommer Pollacks kunstneri­ ske (men ikke kommercielle) gennembrud i 1966 med den fremragende »This Property Is Condemned« (Hver- mands pige). Den er baseret på en ultrakort enakter af Tennessee Williams med samme titel (den findes i sam­ lingen »27 Wagons Full Of Cotton and other One-Act- Plays«) og har manuskript af bl. a. Coppola og Fred Coe, som omtrent samtidigt instruerede deres første film (hen­ holdsvis »You’re A Big Boy Now« og »A Thousand Clowns«, Tusind klovner). Williams’ stykke, der foregår i 30’erne med depression og arbejdsløshed i en fattig sydstatsflække, er en dialog mellem en halvskør 13-års pige og en dreng. Hun fortæller ham om sin families undergang, om forældrene, der forsumpede og forsvandt, 21 og om søsteren Alva, der var småbyens skønhed og konkurrence! Ved denne marathondans finder to unge hovedattraktionen i forældrenes pensionat for jernbane­ mennesker sammen, begge har forsøgt sig i »illusioner­ folk.

  • La Leyenda De MOVIELAND; Historia Del Cine En El Estado De Durango
    La Leyenda de MOVIELAND; Historia del Cine en el Estado de Durango (1897 - 2004) Antonio Avitia Hernández México, 2005 Introducción De manera casi tan fortuita y tan veleidosa como los criterios y las posibilidades económicas de las compañías cinematográficas, de los productores y de los directores de cine, algunos paisajes naturales del estado de Durango han sido seleccionados como escenario del rodaje de diversas películas. Hasta donde se ha podido investigar, entre los años de 1897 a 2004, se han filmado un total de doscientos setenta y ocho (278) cintas en la entidad. De éstas, treinta (30) son de la época del cine silente, producidas entre 1897 y 1936. Noventa y ocho (98) son de formato de ocho, super ocho y dieciséis milímetros, independientes, así como filmes documentales científicos, antropológicos y culturales, entre otros. Con respecto al cine industrial, ciento cincuenta (150) han sido los filmes rodados en territorio durangueño entre los años de 1954 a 2004. Los objetivos principales de esta historia del cine en Durango son: hacer el recuento cuantitativo y cronológico, la ubicación histórica, la reseña de las sinopsis argumentales, las fichas filmográficas y la relación de los personajes y locaciones sobresalientes de las películas rodadas en la entidad, así como describir la impresión que, en el imaginario colectivo regional, ha tenido el cinematógrafo, en tanto séptimo arte e industria cinematográfica. De manera colateral, hasta donde ha sido posible, se hace referencia a la suerte de los filmes en lo que respecta a su distribución. En el primer capítulo El cine silente en Durango se hace el recuento, sinopsis argumental, situación histórica y establecimiento de los treinta filmes del periodo silente rodados en la entidad, desde el arribo de los enviados de Edison en 1897 hasta la cinta documental de propaganda política laudatoria, grabada por encargo del gobernador del estado coronel Enrique R.
