The work makes an original contribution to knowledge as the first extensive study of Hispanic masculinity in contemporary Hollywood and affording new insights into the way in which genre conventions and star personas contributed to these representations.

  • Tony Montana's Paradise Pie in Scarface Kim
    The World Is Yours: Tony Montana’s Paradise Pie in Scarface Kim Nicolini (LONG MESSY UNCUT VERSION OF THE ESSAY) In Harmony Korine’s recent film Spring Breakers (2012), the film’s central anti-hero “Alien” dies face down on a dock during a shootout with a rival gang in St. Petersburg, Florida. Alien is a complete American mash-up -- a white guy who talks, acts and raps like a black man; a self-created gangster who was born poor and made his way to the American Dream by dealing in drugs and firearms. In one scene, he brings the four young white girls who star in the film to his house, and he boasts about all his material acquisitions. “Look at all my shit!” he says, walking through his sprawling house on the Florida coast and showing off everything from his gun collection to his alien- shaped bong to his designer sneakers. "This is my fuckin' dream y'all. I got shit! I got fuckin' shorts y'all! I got Scarface on repeat y'all! I got Calvin Klein Escape!" The girls are in awe that Scarface plays repeat, and they acknowledge it as the greatest movie ever. Never mind Calvin Klein. Never mind Nike tennis shoes. It’s Scarface that counts. When Alien dies at the end of Spring Breakers, the effect on the audience is not unlike that of the death of his hero Tony Montana at the end of Scarface. We find that against everything we think we believe in, we care about this gangster a lot more than we think we should or could.

  • Al Pacino Retrospective at BFI Southbank February – March 2014
    Al Pacino Retrospective at BFI Southbank February – March 2014 16 January 2014, London. Throughout February and March BFI Southbank will celebrate the career of one of the world’s most popular living stage and screen actors, Al Pacino. Starring in some of the most iconic roles of all time, Pacino’s illustrious career has spanned from such classics as The Godfather Trilogy (1972, 1974 & 1990), Scarface (1983), and Serpico (1973) to Sea of Love (1989), Scent of a Woman (1992) and Insomnia (2001). The recipient of countless awards, including an Oscar, 5 Golden Globes, 2 Emmys, a BAFTA and 2 Tonys, Pacino’s acting talents are undisputable; however, he has not always been content to stay in front of the camera, taking on directing duties for Looking for Richard (1996), Chinese Coffee (2000), Wilde Salomé (2011) and most recently Salomé (2013). From a career that has (so far) produced over 40 film roles, the BFI Southbank season will screen 20 of his greatest films, with the centrepiece of the season being an Extended Run of a 4K restoration of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterly The Godfather Part II (1974), which returns to cinemas in a nationwide release from 21 February. Pacino studied acting first at the Herbert Berghof Studio, then under Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York (where he is currently co-president alongside Ellen Burstyn and Harvey Keitel). During this time Pacino performed a number of minor stage roles, which eventually led to his breakthrough film role in The Panic in Needle Park (1971). Under the direction of Jerry Schatzberg, (whom he would work with again on the Palme d’Or winning Scarecrow) Pacino shone as a young New Yorker addicted to heroin.
