Ein Film, der in kein Genre passen will, denn trotz der übernatürlichen Elemente entwickelt sich die Story auf einer sehr intim-menschlichen Ebene: Vater Roy (Michael Shannon) flieht, um seinen kleinen Sohn Alton (Jaeden Lieberher) zu schützen und herauszufinden, was es mit den ungewöhnlichen Fähigkeiten des Jungen auf sich hat. Die Flucht vor religiösen Extremisten und der örtlichen Polizei eskaliert bald zu einer landesweiten Menschenjagd, an der auch die höchste Regierungsebene beteiligt ist. Letztlich muss der Vater auf dem Trip von Texas an die Küste von Florida alles riskieren, um Alton vor dem Schlimmsten zu bewahren und sein Schicksal zu erfüllen, wobei sie elementare Erfahrungen durch das Band der Liebe und Geborgenheit, aber auch in Glaubensfragen machen. Die Hauptrollen in „Midnight Special“ übernehmen Oscar®-Kandidat Michael Shannon („99 Homes“, „Zeiten des Aufruhrs“), Joel Edgerton („Black Mass“), Kirsten Dunst (TV-Serie „Fargo“), Adam Driver („Star Wars: Das Erwachen der Macht“), Jaeden Lieberher („St. Vincent“, TV-Serie „Masters of Sex“) und Oscar-Kandidat Sam Shepard („Der Stoff, aus dem die Helden sind“, „Im August in Osage County“). Jeff Nichols („Mud – Kein Ausweg“, „Take Shelter – Ein Sturm zieht auf“) inszenierte sein eigenes Drehbuch. Die Produzenten, Oscar-Kandidatin Sarah Green („Mud – Kein Ausweg“, „The Tree of Life“) und Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (die „Insidious“-Filme, „Sinister – Wenn Du ihn siehst, bist Du schon verloren“), haben mit Nichols zuvor auch schon den von der Kritik gefeierten Thriller „Take Shelter – Ein Sturm zieht auf“ gedreht. Als Executive Producers sind Glen Basner („Mud – Kein Ausweg“), Hans Graffunder („Somebody Up There Likes Me“) und Christos V. Konstantakopoulos („Take Shelter – Ein Sturm zieht auf“) beteiligt. Zu Nichols’ kreativem Team gehörten außerdem wieder Kameramann Adam Stone („Mud – Kein Ausweg“, „Take Shelter – Ein Sturm zieht auf“), Produktionsdesigner Chad Keith („Take Shelter – Ein Sturm zieht auf“) und Cutterin Julie Monroe („Mud – Kein Ausweg“). David Wingo („Mud – Kein Ausweg“, „Take Shelter – Ein Sturm zieht auf“) komponierte die Musik. Warner Bros. Pictures präsentiert in Zusammenarbeit mit Faliro House Productions eine Tri-State Produktion: „Midnight Special“ startet am 18. Februar 2016 im Verleih von Warner Bros. Pictures Germany, a division of Warner Bros. Entertainment GmbH. Allgemeine Presseinformationen finden Sie unter: https://mediapass.warnerbros.com 5 ÜBER DIE PRODUKTION AUF DER FLUCHT „Was weißt du über Alton Meyer?“ In dem abgedunkelten Motel-Zimmer planen zwei bewaffnete und entschlossen wirkende Männer ihr weiteres Vorgehen. Die Fenster sind mit Pappe abgedeckt. In den Abendnachrichten wird über die Entführung eines kleinen Jungen namens Alton berichtet – dieser Junge sitzt unter einem Laken auf dem Fußboden, sein Gesicht ist hinter der großen Brille kaum zu erkennen. Zeit zum Aufbruch. Doch wenn dies wirklich eine scheinbar bedrohliche Situation ist, dann wirkt das Kind seltsam ruhig. Wer ist Alton Meyer? Wohin bringen ihn diese Männer? Ist dies eine Entführung oder vielmehr eine halsbrecherische Flucht? Die Fragen zielen auf ein tiefes Geheimnis, das weit über diese kleine Gruppe hinausführt und zum Motor von Autor/Regisseur Jeff Nichols’ „Midnight Special“ (Midnight Special) wird: Der Thriller gibt uns übernatürliche Rätsel auf, indem er uns auf eine provokante Reise ins Unbekannte entführt – ins Reich des Unbegreiflichen. „Ich wollte eine Verfolgungsjagd drehen, einen Film über Typen, die in einem schnellen Wagen über Nebenstraßen durch den amerikanischen Süden brettern – nachts und mit ausgeschalteten Scheinwerfern“, berichtet Nichols und skizziert damit die Situation der handelnden Figuren, die sich auf Kollisionskurs mit einem Phänomen befinden, das ihre Vorstellungskraft übersteigt. „Sie befinden sich auf der Flucht, sie werden gejagt und bewegen sich gleichzeitig auf etwas extrem Bedeutendes zu, obwohl wir zunächst nicht wissen, worum es sich handelt.“ Doch was zunächst wie eine hektische, aber geradlinige Verfolgungsjagd erscheint, entpuppt sich bald als tiefschürfende und rätselhafte Erfahrung, die nicht von dieser Welt ist. Als wir die Flüchtigen und ihre Verfolger näher kennenlernen, werden wir direkt mit in dieses Abenteuer hineingezogen, dessen Wesen und Dimensionen wir nur erahnen können. Dazu Nichols: „Ich bezeichne diesen Film gern als russische Matroschka-Puppe mit umgekehrtem Vorzeichen: Die großen Puppen enthalten beim Öffnen immer kleinere Versionen ihrer selbst, bis man im inneren Kern angekommen ist. Unser Film beginnt wie ein kleiner, unabhängig produzierter Film, ein Roadmovie mit ein paar Darstellern, und dann entwickelt er sich zu gigantischen Ausmaßen, bis er den Rahmen des Filmbildes sprengt.“ Der innere Kern ist in diesem Fall Alton, dargestellt von Jaeden Lieberher. Alton hat etwas ganz Besonderes, vielleicht auch Gefährliches an sich. Seine unheimliche Gelassenheit und Zielstrebigkeit will so gar nicht zu seinem Alter passen. Und wie lässt sich das weiße Licht erklären, das aus seinen Augen erstrahlt und verblüffende Verwüstungen anrichten, 6 andererseits aber auch Menschen in einen Zustand unbeschreiblicher Euphorie versetzen kann? Dieses Phänomen belastet seinen ständig schwächer werdenden Körper über Gebühr. In jedem Fall lassen sich seine Fähigkeiten mit den Maßstäben unseres irdischen Lebens nicht erklären. Je nachdem, ob uns das Schauer einjagt oder Zuversicht gibt – eine der Hauptfiguren drückt es so aus: „Er ist anders als wir.“ Irgendetwas versetzt Alton in die Lage, auf technisch höchst geheime Informationen so mühelos zuzugreifen und sie zu wiederholen, als ob er einen Fernseher anstellen würde. Aufgrund dieser Kräfte und Fähigkeiten ist er zum kostbaren Schatz einer religiösen Sekte geworden, die ihn als Sprachrohr Gottes erlebt. Aktuell gerät Alton außerdem ins Visier der amerikanischen Bundesbehörden, denn die höchsten Regierungsstellen haben erfahren, dass ein Achtjähriger offenbar streng geheime militärische Satelliten-Übermittlungen abfangen kann. Begleitet wird Alton von seinem Vater Roy (Michael Shannon)

The festival presents 12 films representing a cross-section of important cinematic works overlooked by audiences, critics and distributors. The films are screened in the 1,500-seat Virginia Theatre, a restored movie palace built in the 1920s. A portion of the festival’s income goes toward on-going renovations at the theatre. The festival brings together the films’ producers, writers, actors and directors to help showcase their work. A film- maker or scholar introduces each film, and each screening is followed by a substantive on-stage Q&A discussion among filmmakers, critics and the audience. In addition to the screenings, the festival hosts a number of academic panel discussions featuring filmmaker guests, scholars and students. The mission of Roger Ebert’s Film Festival is to praise films, genres and formats that have been overlooked.

  • Thorup 1 the Faulkner Phenomenon: James Franco's Revival of The
    Thorup 1 The Faulkner Phenomenon: James Franco’s Revival of the Southern Gothic in Twenty-First Century Hollywood One of the many arguments made regarding adaptation is that the film can never do the original text justice due to the highly integral structure imparted by the literary author. It is par- ticularly difficult to translate a piece from a prior century in the modern era. One contemporary filmmaker who has persistently risen to this challenge is James Franco, who has become a sort of “boy wonder” in Hollywood, fulfilling roles of actor, writer, director, and producer. In 2013 and 2014 he directed and starred in adaptations of William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying (1930) and The Sound and the Fury (1929), respectively. Prior to Franco’s films, Martin Ritt directed a 1959 “deconstructive adaptation” of The Sound of the Fury, which has been criticized for simply being plot-focused, producing a “‘ludicrous’ melodramatic version” that disregards the stylistics of Modernism (Metz 21). Faulkner’s literary techniques of multiple stream-of-consciousness narra- tives and temporal disjunction in character and setting pose challenges for traditional cinematic form. Yoknapatawpha County creates the ideal cinematic landscape for character and acting such as in Benjy’s movement—or rather, the translation of linguistic confinement in physical space. Franco’s revitalization of the Southern Gothic in The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying demonstrates a preoccupation with the alienated self and the juxtaposition of tradition and mo- dernity that is prevalent in twenty-first century America. While his adaptations and performances take aesthetic risks and (mostly) transcend the qualities of literary Modernism through Postmod- ern cinematic techniques, they still appeal to box office consumerism.

    1. Title: 13 Tzameti ISBN: 5060018488721 Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men. 2. Title: 12 Angry Men ISBN: 5050070005172 Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the directorial debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in New York City, the 12 jurors retire to consider their verdict. The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his father, and eleven of the jurors do not hesitate in finding him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves - in a fresh light. 3. Title: 12:08 East of Bucharest ISBN: n/a 12:08pm on the 22 December 1989 was the exact time of Ceausescu's fall from power in Romania. Sixteen years on, a provincial TV talk show decides to commemorate the event by asking local heroes to reminisce about their own contributions to the revolution. But securing suitable guests proves an unexpected challenge and the producer is left with two less than ideal participants - a drink addled history teacher and a retired and lonely sometime-Santa Claus grateful for the company.

  • William Faulkner の the Hamlet に基づく Cormac Mccarthy の Child of God ――James Franco による映画版の是非
    William Faulkner の The Hamlet に基づく Cormac McCarthy の Child of God ――James Franco による映画版の是非 大地 真介 1. Child of God と Faulkner の諸作品 アメリカの文学研究の重鎮 Harold Bloom は、今日のアメリカ文学を代表する小説とし て Thomas Pynchon、Philip Roth、Don DeLillo と共に Cormac McCarthy の作品を挙げてお り(1)、近年 McCarthy はアメリカで最もノーベル賞に近い作家の一人と言われている (Garner)。その McCarthy は、William Faulkner を代表とするアメリカ南部の作家たちが 紡いできた南部ゴシックの流れをくむ作家であり(Hage 150-51)、多くの作品で陰惨な 南部を描く。John Burt は、Faulkner の影響を最も受けた南部作家は McCarthy かもしれ ないと述べており(317)、実際、Faulkner と同じく南部で育ち成人してからも長年南部 に居住した McCarthy の作品と Faulkner の作品の類似点は数多く指摘されている。 プ ア ・ ホ ワ イ ト McCarthy の作品の「登場人物(貧乏白人、貧農、旧家の末裔)や出来事(近親相姦、殺 人、南部貴族の若者の自虐的な悲しみ)」は Faulkner の作品を彷彿させるし(Wilson 360)、 また、文体においても、息の長い文章やイタリック体の多用、会話文における引用符の 不使用など Faulkner の影響が容易に見て取れる(Frye 153)。 本論文で扱う Child of God は、1973 年に発表された McCarthy の三つ目の長編小説で あり、実際に起きた二つの事件、すなわち南部に住む窃視症の James Blevins が、車中で 情交におよんだ男女を殺害した罪に問われた Lula 湖殺人事件と、Alfred Hitchcock の映 画 Psych の原作のモデルとなった連続殺人犯にして死体愛好者の Ed Gein の事件にヒン トを得て書かれたと言われている(Luce 138-46)。Child of God は、主人公が異様な行動 をとるため出版当初は批評家からあまり評価されず売れ行きも芳しくなかったが (Shearer-Cremean 53; Juge 20)、今日では Suttree(1979)や Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West(1985)と共に McCarthy の代表作の一つとされる(Josyph 205)。 Erik Hage は、Faulkner の影響が非常に明瞭に表れている McCarthy の作品として彼の 処女長編の The Orchard Keeper(1965)を挙げ(97)、また、Brian Evenson は、McCarthy の長編二作目の Suttree が “the most overtly Faulknerian of all of McCarthy’s novels”である と述べているが(62)、Child of God も Faulkner の影響が極めて濃厚な作品である。まず、 Dianne C. Luce も指摘しているように(146)、主人公が殺人を犯したうえで死体を保持 (53) して同衾し、最終的に死体がミイラの状態で発見されるという点で本作品は Faulkner の “A Rose for Emily”(1930)と一致している。また、Luce

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.
