The Swimmer tentativeLes histoires rare brèves et réussie et précises avec Parc de John Cheever se sont toujours avérées l’excellent fourrage pour la de Frank Perry, adapté pour le grand écran par sa femme Eleanor Perry, est une de Arnaud des Pallières de transformer une histoire de Cheever en long métrage. Il s’agit d’une adaptation d’une nouvelle de John Cheever du même nom, sortie en 1964, qui représente une métaphore de la vie d’un homme à travers sa volonté de traverser la vallée en nageant de piscines en piscines. De piscine en piscine, de valeurs en valeurs, le parcours du protagoniste montre l’univers quelquedes banlieues chose cossues qu’il ne desait la nommer côte Est maisdes Etats-Unis, dont l’absence les cocktail-parties, lui est insupportable. les plaisirs de la chair portés à hauteur presque spirituelle, mais aussi la mélancolie, le mal-être dont souffre le personnage en quête de Vêtu seulement en maillot de bain tout au long du film, Burt Lancaster joue Ned Merrill, un homme âgé, riche, qui se lance dans un voyage étrange et révélateur à travers ses sentiments et les souvenirs d’une mémoire endommagée. Ned Merrill choisit une façon inhabituelle de rentrer chez lui: traverser le comté où il vit à la nage par les piscines qui appartiennent à des amis et des connaissances. L’aventure n’est pas qu’un jeu pour le nageur. Mais à chaque étape, il se retrouve face à face avec un incident de son passé et- il devient de plus en plus déçu par ce qu’il croyait être son mode de vie idéal. Le film de Frank Perry se construit comme un conte, démarrant par le merveilleux, le superficiel, il se termine par une dure mé- lancolie. Toute la première partie sans vouloir masquer l’étrangeté du but de Merrill, est complètement- « 60’s » dans toute sa splendeur. Ambiance bucolique, ralentis, photographie colorée et pétillante, dé cors divins, cocktails. Quand sa compagne de route (l’ex baby-sitter de ses filles) brise le rêve en le lais sant seul, Merrill se voit confronter à la vérité à laquelle il veut échapper. Ainsi Merrill continu sa route des piscines, but illusoire auquel il s’accroche mais le voile est tombé, laissant apparaître blessures, rancœurs, amours déçus, lâcheté, échec social. Une vie qu’il a eu mais qu’il n’a plus pour des raisons qui nous resterons plus ou moins inconnues. Tout le long du film Merrill transporte avec lui un fantôme qui petit à petit va prendre forme, avec noirceur, à la fin de son périple, clôturant sa dépression. Burt Lancaster est l’acteur parfait pour ce rôle. Il est remarquable en ex-apollon, le regard toujours ailleurs, comme noyé dans un vieux rêve.

Sinema sanatının seslendiği seyirci kitleleri ile eleştiri kurumu arasına kalın bir duvar örme gayreti güden bu yaklaşımın günümüzde yankılanan biçimleri arasında, “Halk beğendiyse, eleştirmenler beğenmez!” ya da tam tersi, “Eleştirmenler beğendiyse, kimse gitmez o filme!” yargılarının olduğunu da gayet iyi biliyoruz.

The least you can say of Dearest Dunaway is that she totally inhabits the character. Her eyes appear unfocused and psychotic even in the rare moments when the character is in repose.

  • Introduction 1 the Good Mother
    Notes Introduction 1. By ‘motherhood’ I am referring to the character of the mother and the practice of motherhood on screen. By the ‘maternal’ I am referring to the characteristics and symbolism which evoke motherhood. 2. This is not to suggest that the figure of the mother is entirely absent from pre-1960s cinema, rather that a range of socio-economic factors led to a development in the horror genre. For the purposes of clarity I wish to focus on post-Classical horror cinema. 3. This is not to suggest that no debates about motherhood existed prior to this, rather that discussions of the mother in film increased greatly after these years. 4. The woman’s film centres on a female protagonist, deals with specifically ‘female’ issues (such as motherhood or domesticity) and is aimed at a female audience. For Doane, the maternal melodrama is a sub-category of the woman’s film. While the maternal melodrama is more readily asso- ciated with films of the Classical Hollywood period, it remains a popular sub-genre of modern mainstream cinema. The maternal melodrama, as the name suggests, deals with the figure of the mother and the impact of motherhood on her life or that of the child. 5. This is not to suggest that discussion of the mother/maternal is limited to these genres, simply that they seem to have provoked the most interest. 6. For example, see Alien and the various studies by Creed, Bundtzen or Rosemary’s Baby as discussed by Fischer or Kuhn. 7. See Mulvey (2000); De Lauretis, Teresa, Alice Doesn’t: Feminism, Semiotics, Cinema, Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1984.

The “card” column used to refer to a set of card catalogs that documented our holdings of particular paper materials: press book, posters, continuity, reviews, and other. The majority of this information has been entered into our Merged Audiovisual Information System (MAVIS) database. Boxes indicating “MAVIS” in the last column have catalog records within the new database. To locate material, use the CTRL-F function to search the document by keyword, title, or format. Paper and manuscript materials are also listed in the MAVIS database. This database is only accessible on-site in the Moving Image Research Center. If you are unable to locate a specific item in this inventory, please contact the reading room.
