A Review by Noelia Saenz, University of Southern California, USA The idea of national cinema seems somewhat outdated when you think of globalization and the transnational nature that characterizes the production, distribution and reception of the contemporary filmic landscape in any given nation. However, in spite of the move towards thinking about cinema as a transnational commodity, there is still an interest and recognition in preserving the idea of national cinemas. National cinemas, as known today, largely developed as localized attempts to compete against the foreign encroachment of Hollywood, although many countries had vibrant film industries since the nascent days of cinema. The attempt to capture the local market by portraying local settings and customs, however, served a dual function of portraying national interests to international audiences. How other nations and international audiences viewed national cinemas was just as important as what films were chosen to represent the nation at film festivals, suggesting a strong link Issue 19, February 2011 5 Book Reviews between national cinemas and conceptions of national identity as they are imagined both at home and abroad. All of the books discussed in this review deal with questions of national identity and cinema's role in reflecting and mediating the nation during different historical periods and national contexts, and are part of a growing body of work that expands on national cinemas to include the transnational. Current scholarship on national cinemas reminds us that we must not forget the national in the rush to embrace the transnational. National identity, as imagined through national cinema, is the product of a negotiation between how the nation imagines itself and how other nations imagine it, and often this negotiation is a product of shifting and sometimes unequal power relations both within the nation and outside of its borders. The first book discussed, Carmen on Film: A Cultural History, examines the history of filmic representations of the Carmen story from its inception in the French imaginary during the nineteenth century to the present. This book, a collaborative product between four different scholars, focuses on three national contexts, France, Spain and the United States, whose unique cultural history shapes the story of Carmen on film. These are not the only cinemas that have adapted the Carmen myth, for, as the authors point out, "there have been some 80 film adaptations since 1906" (ix). However, these three nations comprise the majority of the adaptations. Grounding their work within the fields of cultural studies, film studies and nation studies, the authors of this book use the body of filmic representations of Carmen to examine the cross-cultural relationship between Otherness and the nation. According to the authors, "the "nation" imagines itself and its specificities through Otherness, and it is only by grounding that Otherness in the imagined Sameness of national cinemas that we can understand its function" (xii). By exploring the evolution of the Carmen story on film and through an analysis of how different national contexts and different star personas shape the figure of Carmen, this book ultimately helps determine the cultural specificity of each adaptation, and how that specificity both rewrites the Carmen myth and remains in dialogue with the theme of containment of the unruly and Othered central protagonist and excessive female desire from the original story. 6 Issue 19, February 2011 Book Reviews According to the authors, the Carmen narrative was a product of the French Romantic movement of the nineteenth century and its Orientalizing gaze towards Spain, perceived as a country tainted by its proximity to Africa and therefore more exotic and primitive than northern Europe. As the authors point out in their chapter, 'Theorizing Spain', "the Carmen narrative conflates Spanishness with the culture of Andalusia, the most southern region of Spain, close to Africa and the Near East and still bearing

    Los títulos de crédito • ¿Qué hay antes de Saul Bass y qué hay después? • El cine nace oficialmente el 22 de marzo de 1895. • Primero hablamos de cine documental. El grafismo lo encontramos prácticamente en los carteles • Con George Méliès, el cine pasa a ser un entretenimiento y plantea la necesidad de empaquetar el cine, de crear una marca con cada película. • Cuando las películas eran mudas, se pretendía utilizar el menor número de cartones para decir quién intervenía. Al final un escaso “THE END” • Gráficamente, estaban formadas por títulos principales, donde aparecían la productora, título, actores, director, etc. Y intertítulos, donde se daba la información narrativa complementaria (diálogos, transiciones temporales, etc.) • Deberíamos destacar que desde los años 70 los títulos se dividen en dos partes: • Secuencia de obertura: información estelar. El gancho. • Roll final: listado de personas que han participado en el film. • Como diseñador de títulos de la época, tenemos a RALPH SPENCE, considerado un doctor en medicina para las películas ya que las podía llevar al éxito con el tratamiento del intertítulo. Cobraba 10.000$ por arreglo. • Otros: Frank E.Woods realizó títulos para Griffith. • Jack Jarmuth creó más de 12 películas como “The jazz singer”. EH. • TIPOGRAFÍA BLANCA SOBRE FONDO NEGRO. • Disimular. El blanco enseñaba más defectos. • Existen directores que no conciben los créditos dentro del film por la simple razón de que su película está pensada sin ellos. No los necesitan. • Muchos directores confían en la narrativa del film y no en el marketing comercial. Continúan prefiriendo el Blanco sobre Negro. • O la ausencia de títulos de obertura: Fellini, Wilder, Coppola o Allen, han entendido los créditos como un empaquetamiento simple, información necesaria nada más.

  • Hollywood: the Shock of Freedom in Films -- Printout -- TIME
    Back to Article Click to Print Friday, Dec. 08, 1967 Hollywood: The Shock of Freedom in Films (See Cover) Two girls embrace, then enjoy a long, lingering kiss that ends only ' when a male intruder appears. A vulpine criminal in a sumptuous penthouse pulls aside a window curtain to look down at the street. When he releases the curtain, he is abruptly in another apartment. He crosses the thickly carpeted living room to peer into a bedroom; when he turns back, the living room is empty and bare- floored. In the midst of an uproariously funny bank robbery, a country-boy hoodlum fires his pistol; the tone of the scene shifts in a split second from humor to horror as the bloodied victim dies. At first viewing, these scenes would appear to be photomontages from an underground-film festival. But The Fox, based on a D. H. Lawrence story with a lesbian theme, is soon to be released nationally, starring Sandy Dennis. Point Blank, with Lee Marvin, is in its plot an old-fashioned shoot-em-down but in its technique a catalogue of the latest razzle-dazzle cinematography. Bonnie and Clyde is not only the sleeper of the decade but also, to a growing consensus of audiences and critics, the best movie of the year. Differing widely in subject and style, the films have several things in common. They are not what U.S. movies used to be like. They enjoy a heady new freedom from formula, convention and censorship. And they are all from Hollywood. Poetry & Rhythm. Hollywood was once described as the only asylum run by its inmates.

And we also most fortunately know that it really doesn’t matter. —Raymond Chandler, letter to Charles Morton, October 9, 1950 Introduction: First Goodbyes Jack Nicholson, a boy, could never forget sitting at the bar with John J. Nicholson, Jack’s namesake and maybe even his father, a soft little dapper Irishman in glasses. He kept neatly combed what was left of his red hair and had long ago separated from Jack’s mother, their high school romance gone the way of any available drink. They told Jack that John had once been a great ballplayer and that he decorated store windows, all five Steinbachs in Asbury Park, though the only place Jack ever saw this man was in the bar, day-drinking apricot brandy and Hennessy, shot after shot, quietly waiting for the mercy to kick in.
