    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART HONORS AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR MIKE NICHOLS WITH RETROSPECTIVE SPANNING FOUR-DECADE CAREER Mike Nichols April 14–May 1, 2009 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters New York, March 24, 2009 – The Museum of Modern Art announces Mike Nichols, a two-week retrospective of 17 films that surveys the wide range of Mike Nichols’ directing career. Spanning more than four decades, the series comprises a collection of Nichols’ most significant works in film, from Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) and The Graduate (1967) to Charlie Wilson’s War (2007) and the HBO dramas Wit (2001) and Angels in America, Parts 1 and 2 (2003). The influential but rarely screened films Carnal Knowledge (1971) and Catch 22 (1970) open and close the two-week exhibition. Mike Nichols will run April 14 through May 1, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters, and is organized by Rajendra Roy, The Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. “While remaining one of the most productive forces in the creative industries—film and theater—Mike Nichols’ body of work is clearly one most referenced and revered in contemporary cinema,” said Mr. Roy. “His ability to form lasting and consistently fruitful partnerships with writers and actors places him among the standard bearers for the great collaborative traditions of Hollywood. Emerging filmmakers have much to learn from the intellect and timeless humanity of Nichols’ work.” Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and The Graduate, for which Nichols received an Academy Award for Best Direction, propelled him to the top of the field.

  • Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with Mike Nichols
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH MIKE NICHOLS Mike Nichols took Broadway by storm in the early 1960s with his comedy partner Elaine May. He began his directing career with the stage production of Barefoot in the Park and became a film director with Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? , followed by his landmark film The Graduate . In this interview, just before he was honored with a gala Salute by the Museum of the Moving Image, Nichols talks about how the assured, controlled style of his early films evolved into a looser, more naturalistic approach, and about how, for him, directing actors is largely a matter of trust and letting go. A Pinewood Dialogue moderated by Chief come up with the scene. And you’ve often said Curator David Schwartz (March 19, 1990): that it wasn’t just a question of acting funny or saying funny lines but to define the kind of SCHWARTZ : And now please welcome Mike emotional undercurrent of the scene. One thing Nichols. (Applause) you’ve been quoted as saying, is that Elaine always says, “When in doubt, seduce.” That’s NICHOLS : I’ll tell you a very quick principle that I always a good core for a scene. Or to have a have come to believe is almost the most fight. So I’d like to know what you got out of your important principle of all of this: I worked with early work as a performer, as a comic performer. Dan Dailey long ago, directing him in a version of The Odd Couple, the play, and he told me that NICHOLS : Well, when you’re improvising comedy when he was at MGM, when he was a big musical in front of an audience, you learn very fast what star at MGM, they got lessons in everything.

New York, NY 10018 Los Angeles, CA 90036 New York, NY 10022 Visit the Sony Pictures Classics Internet site at: http:/www.sonyclassics.com Synopsis Originally released in 1975, The Passenger is, on the simplest level, a suspense story about a man trying to escape his own life. This haunting film is a portrait of a drained journalist, played by Jack Nicholson, whose deliverance is an identity exchange with a dead man. The film was shot on location and takes Nicholson on an incredible journey through Africa, Spain, Germany and England. As with all of Antonioni’s work, however, there is another dimension. From beginning to end we are witnessing a probing study of the human condition. The protagonist’s fate reflects each individual’s own private thoughts about real and/or imagined destiny. The climax of the film, alone – a final sequence lasting seven minutes and taking eleven days to shoot is truly a synthesis of the movie and a tribute to the director’s art. Antonioni, in talking about his motion picture, says: “I consider The Passenger my most stylistically mature film. I also consider it a political film as it is topical and fits with the dramatic rapport of the individual in today’s society.” The Passenger brought together two of the screen’s most exciting personalities, Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider, who had become an overnight sensation opposite Marlon Brando in “Last Tango in Paris.” The Passenger is based on an original story by Mark Peploe and was filmed from a screenplay by Peploe, Peter Wollen and Antonioni.

  • Dr. JACK and Mr. NICHOLSON
    Dr. JACK and Mr. NICHOLSON A 52’ documentary directed by Emmanuelle Nobecourt Produced by ARTE France and MORGANE PRODUCTION Provisional Delivery: WINTER 2018 PITCH: Everyone knows him, but no one knows the man behind the actor. How did this common young man become the icon of counter-culture over night? Who is hiding behind the most famous smile of Hollywood, beneath the womanizer and the indisputably beloved star? A tormented man, a man obsessed with women, who hates them as much as he loves them. A man plagued by a silent anger and driven by an irresistible thirst to get even. Where does his extraordinary passion for life come from? Sexy, crazy, rebel, scary, and out of control, this documentary reveals the multiple faces and complex personality of Jack Nicholson through his films. 1 SYNOPSIS: They call him “Mister Hollywood”. Over a career spanning fifty years with more than sixty films, three Oscars, a Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival and nearly forty nominations, Jack Nicholson has become an institution in Hollywood, while remaining fiercely rebellious. At 80, he has to face a new reality: although his soul is still that of an inveterate seducer, decency forbids him to parade at the arm of beautiful young women just old enough to be his daughters. Secluded in his Hollywood lair, Jack now lives as an old lone wolf. But Jack Nicholson remains the leader of the pack. He still has this aura of mystery on which time has no effect and that only living legends possess. Oblivious to criticism, polemics and rules, he continues to be the most elusive of American actors.

He ushered in the turn from ―Classical‖ to ―New‖ Hollywood, and studying his work illuminates unacknowledged similarities and differences in both periods. Furthermore, looking at the cultural significance of his oeuvre deepens our understanding of the cultural revolution of the 1960s, as well as key events in the ensuing five decades of American social history. By analyzing the methods for crafting scenarios that Nichols carried forward to the cinema from his seminal work in radio and theater, I generate new insight into the representation of the interpersonal on-screen, particularly through the lenses of gender and sexuality. There is no scholarship devoted to Nichols‘s study, and I look at what his exclusion from debates in Cinema Studies tells us both about his films and about the dominant approaches and theoretical paradigms used to interpret the cinema, particularly regarding concepts such as character, performance, dialogue, the psychological, the human, and the social.

  • Imagining Henry Viii: Cultural Memory and the Tudor King, 1535-1625
    IMAGINING HENRY VIII: CULTURAL MEMORY AND THE TUDOR KING, 1535-1625 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mark Rankin, B.S., M.A. **** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Professor John N. King, Adviser Professor David Cressy Professor Richard Dutton Professor Christopher Highley Graduate Program in English Copyright by Mark Rankin 2007 ABSTRACT Tudor and early-Stuart writers refashioned the posthumous reputation of King Henry VIII during the reigns of Henry’s royal successors in response to ongoing debate over the interconnected themes of English religious and national identity. Henry’s legacy as a potential supporter of these notions was ambivalent owing to the shifting policies in religious affairs that he displayed during his own lifetime. This ambivalence enabled writers to manipulate Henry into either a partisan supporter or strong opponent of competing religious and political ideologies after his death. By employing an interdisciplinary methodology encompassing archival research and the study of early printed materials, this study analyzes literature written about Henry in its political and historical contexts. It redresses our present lack of knowledge of how Henry acquired his modern-day status as one of England’s most memorable and recognizable monarchs. From the publication of the first complete English Bible in 1535 to the death of James I in 1625, authors manipulated Henry VIII from widely divergent perspectives and agendas. In the process, they shaped his cultural presence by arguing about his relevance to disputes over the future of the nation’s religious and political affairs.
