In Praise of Love is a perceptive and compelling drama about the concealed truths and veiled emotions in a marriage. Sebastian and Lydia Crutwell live in a small flat in Islington. Sebastian, once a promising novelist, is now a cantankerous critic.

Over the course of two evenings, a series of heart-breaking revelations changes the facade of Lydia and Sebastian’s relationship forever.

Books. "Elegant and deeply human, In Praise of Love is a conversational but erudite retort to the antiseptic promises of online dating sites for 'safe love' without risk, the romantic notion that love is the ecstatic melding of two into one, and the philosophical skepticism that love is little more than a cover story for sexual lust." ―Pamela Haag, Ph.D., author of Marriage Confidential: Love in the Post-Romantic Age, columnist at Big Think magazine. Praise for Alain Badiou: "A figure like Plato or Hegel walks here among us!" ―Slavoj Zizek. "An heir to Jean-Paul Sartre and Louis Althusser." Someone we hear talking - but whom we do not see - speaks of a project which describes the four key moments of love: meeting, physical passion, arguments/separation and making up. This project is to be told through three couples: young, adult and old. We do not know if the project is for a play, a film, a novel or an opera. The author of the project is always accompanied by a kind of servant. Meanwhile, two years earlier, an American civil servant meets with an elderly French couple who had fought in the Resistance during World War II, brokering a deal with a Hollywood director to buy the rights to tell their story. The members of the old couple’s family discuss heatedly questions of nation, memory and history. ×. "In Praise of Love" plays like an attempt to reconstruct an ideal film that might once have existed in his mind, but is there no more. Yes, I praised the film in an article from the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, but have now seen it again, and no longer agree with those words. Seeing Godard's usual trademarks and preoccupations, I called it "a bittersweet summation of one of the key careers in modern cinema," and so it is, but I no longer think it is a successful one.

No doubt about it: it was a hit. The text you are about to read is an elabora ​ tion of what we said on the day. It retains the spontaneous rhythm, clarity and energy but is more rounded and incisive. In Praise of Love (French: Éloge de l'amour) is a 2001 French film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard. The black-and-white and color drama was shot by Julien Hirsch and Christophe Pollock. Godard has famously stated that "a film should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order." This aphorism is illustrated by In Praise of Love (Éloge de l'amour), which reverses the order of past and present..

  • Fall 1992 215 Agamemnon and Theatre Du Soleil
    Fall 1992 215 Agamemnon and Theatre du Soleil: an Eclectic Mixture. Théâtre of the Soleil. Paris, France. May, 1991. Théâtre du Soleil, under the guidance of Ariane Mnouchkine, has in its 28 years of existence gained international status as a leading edge experimental theatre company. This French troupe boldly explores a variety of styles, sources, aesthetics, and subject matter to create a rich vibrant, colorful, theatre experience. They freely mix styles and conventions together to achieve a brand of theatre that is uniquely their own. The company's 1991 production of Agamemnon by Aeschylus, directed by Mnouchkine, combines remnants of classical Greek settings; Kabuki movements, costumes, and makeup to make a strong contemporary feminist statement. By looking at 1) this specific production, 2) the company's creative process, 3) their origin and structure, 4) their production history, 5) the philosophy that anchors their style, a deeper Understanding of Théâtre du SoleiPs rich aesthetic can be reached. Agamemnon is presented as part of a trilogy entitled Les Atrides. Two other plays, Iphigenie a Aulis and Les Choéphores perform in repertory with Agamemnon. These three works represent the body of Théâtre du Soleil's 1990-91 season. The text was translated from the original Greek to French by Mnouchkine and Hélène Cixous, a noted French feminist and playwright. Agamemnon tells the story of a wife's vengeance on her husband, the king, as he returns victorious from Troy. Clytemnestra has not forgiven him for the sacrifice of their daughter, Iphegenia, or for bringing with him his lover Cassandra. Clytemnestra with her lover, Egisthus, plots to take over power.

Left the security of the well respected judge, for wild, unpredictable, sexy Freddie – an ex-fighter pilot. Now she’s reached the end of the line. Freddie’s raffish charm has worn thin and Hester is forced to face the reality of life with a man who doesn’t want to be with her. The simple act of a forgotten birthday pushes her to desperation point and to facing a future that offers no easy resolutions. Rattigan’s reputation was founded on his mastery of the ‘well made play’. Now, one hundred years after his birth, it is his skilful creation of troubled, emotional characters that has brought audiences and critics alike to re-visit his plays with renewed appreciation.

    Adaptable Terence Rattigan: Separate Tables, separate entities? dominic shellard T R’ has essentially been that of a theatre writer, and a conservative one, who is supposed to have avoided the darker themes that invaded the British stage after (roughly) the arrival of Look Back in Anger in 1956. This view of Rattigan is by now surely on its way out. His relation to the theatre and the so-called New Wave is undoubtedly more complex. However, his track record as a screenwriter, sometimes but not always adapting his own plays, should not be forgotten. In 1939 we have French Without Tears, then Quiet Wedding (1940), The Day Will Dawn (1942), Uncensored (1942), English Without Tears (1944), Journey Together (1945), The Way to the Stars (1945), While the Sun Shines (1947), Brighton Rock (1947, from Greene’s novel), Bond Street (1948), and then a wonderful version of his own play The Winslow Boy (1948). In the 1950s he wrote The Browning Version (1951), The Sound Barrier (1952), The Final Test (1953), then disappointingly The Man Who Loved Redheads (1954), but trium- phantly another adaptation of his own play The Deep Blue Sea (1955). The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), starring Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier, who also directed, is often seen as the end of his film career. (It was an unsatisfactory, though intermittently charming, tardy revival of his Festival of Britain stage play that celebrated nation and the Oliviers – Vivien Leigh had the Monroe role – called The Sleeping Prince.) But actually his last film was much more distinguished: Separate Tables (1959), an American adaptation by Rattigan himself – but see below – of his own play (or rather two one- acters) of the same name.

A COUPLE THAT FIGHTS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER: ROMANCE, MARRIAGE, AND DIVORCE IN BRITISH HOME FRONT FILMS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR by IDIT KOLAN Under the Direction of Ian C. Fletcher ABSTRACT The impact of total war on the British home front from 1939 to 1945 was profound. In particular, military and economic mobilization disrupted gender relations. Men and women of different class and national backgrounds encountered each other, sometimes forming romantic relationships that strained the institutions of marriage and family. This disruption was heavily depicted in wartime British cinema, especially in feature films devoted to the home front experience. Differences of class, gender, and nationality were downplayed in order to construct a solidaristic meaning for wartime social experience, fitting for “the People’s War.” My thesis examines romantic relationships and marriages depicted in numerous British home front films.
