| sophie's choice torrent: The Cinema of Catherine Breillat Sophie Bélot, 2017-08-28 In The Cinema of Catherine Breillat, Bélot offers a detailed analysis of Breillat’s past and recent films. Breillat is one of the most internationally renowned French women filmmakers whose notoriety is built on her explicit representation of women’s sexuality. Most of her films rely on a female protagonist’s personal and intimate search of her self, characterised by her sexual journey. Facing censorship and controversy, Breillat’s films do not easily fit classification and place the viewer into an uncomfortable position. This study looks at Breillat as an independent cinema auteur entertaining a close relation with her films by exploring and positing women, from adolescence to adulthood, as sexual beings reflecting her films’ identity emanating from Breillat’s personal or intimate scenes. |

| sophie's choice torrent: Unwatchable Nicholas Baer, Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, Gunnar Iversen, 2019-01-14 We all have images that we find unwatchable, whether for ethical, political, or sensory-affective reasons. From news coverage of terror attacks to viral videos of police brutality, and from graphic horror films to incendiary artworks that provoke mass boycotts, many of the images in our media culture strike as beyond the pale of consumption. Yet what does it mean to proclaim a media object unwatchable: disturbing, revolting, poor, tedious, or literally inaccessible? Appealing to a broad academic and general readership, Unwatchable offers multidisciplinary approaches to the vast array of troubling images that circulate in our global visual culture, from cinema, television, and video games through museums and classrooms to laptops, smart phones, and social media platforms. This anthology assembles 60 original essays by scholars, theorists, critics, archivists, curators, artists, and filmmakers who offer their own responses to the broadly suggestive question: What do you find unwatchable? The diverse answers include iconoclastic artworks that have been hidden from view, dystopian images from the political sphere, horror movies, TV advertisements, classic films, and recent award-winners-- |

| sophie's choice torrent: Shades of the Planet Wai Chee Dimock, Lawrence Buell, 2018-06-05 In a globalizing age, studying American literature in isolation from the rest of the world seems less and less justified. But is the conceptual box of the nation dispensable? And what would American literature look like without it?Leading scholars take up this debate in Shades of the Planet, beginning not with the United States as center, but with the world as circumference. This reversed frame yields a surprising landscape, alive with traces of West Africa, Eastern Europe, Iran, Iraq, India, China, Mexico, and Australia. The Broadway musical Oklahoma! has aboriginal antecedents; Black English houses an African syntax; American slavery consorts with the Holocaust; Philip Roth keeps company with Milan Kundera; the crime novel moves south of the border; and R. P. Blackmur lectures in Japan. A national literature becomes haunted by the world when that literature is seen extending to the Pacific, opening up to Islam, and accompanying African-American authors as they travel. Highlighting American literature as a fold in a planet-wide fabric, this pioneering volume transforms the field, redrawing its institutional as well as geographical map.The contributors are Rachel Adams, Jonathan Arac, Homi K. Bhabha, Lawrence Buell, Wai Chee Dimock, Susan Stanford Friedman, Paul Giles, David Palumbo-Liu, Ross Posnock, Joseph Roach, and Eric J. Sundquist. |

| sophie's choice torrent: Look Abroad, Angel Jedidiah Evans, 2020-02-01 Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938) was one of the most influential southern writers, widely considered to rival his contemporary, William Faulkner—who believed Wolfe to be one of the greatest talents of their generation. His novels— including Look Homeward, Angel (1929); Of Time and the River (1935); and the posthumously published The Web and the Rock (1939) and You Can’t Go Home Again (1940)—remain touchstones of U.S. literature. In Look Abroad, Angel, Jedidiah Evans uncovers the “global Wolfe,” reconfiguring Wolfe’s supposedly intractable homesickness for the American South as a form of longing that is instead indeterminate and expansive. Instead of promoting and reinforcing a narrow and cloistered formulation of the writer as merely southern or Appalachian, Evans places Wolfe in transnational contexts, examining Wolfe’s impact and influence throughout Europe. In doing so, he de-territorializes the response to Wolfe’s work, revealing the writer as a fundamentally global presence within American literature. |

| sophie's choice torrent: Creating the Illusion Jay Jorgensen, Donald L. Scoggins, Turner Classic Movies, 2015-10-06 Marilyn Monroe made history by standing over a subway grating in a white pleated halter dress designed by William Travilla. Hubert de Givenchy immortalized the Little Black Dress with a single opening scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's. A red nylon jacket signaled to audiences that James Dean was a Rebel Without a Cause. For more than a century, costume designers have left indelible impressions on moviegoers' minds. Yet until now, so little has been known about the designers themselves and their work to complement and enrich stories through fashion. Creating the Illusion presents the history of fashion on film, showcasing not only classic moments from film favorites, but a host of untold stories about the creative talent working behind the scenes to dress the stars from the silent era to the present day. Among the book's sixty-five designer profiles are Clare West, Howard Greer, Adrian, Walter Plunkett, Travis Banton, Irene, Edith Head, Cecil Beaton, Bob Mackie, and Colleen Atwood. The designers' stories are set against the backdrop of Hollywood: how they collaborated with great movie stars and filmmakers; how they maneuvered within the studio system; and how they came to design clothing that remains iconic decades after its first appearance. The array of films discussed and showcased through photos spans more than one hundred years, from draping Rudolph Valentino in exotic sheik dress to the legendary costuming of Gone with the Wind, Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Bonnie and Clyde, Reservoir Dogs, and beyond. This gloriously illustrated volume includes candid photos of the designers at work, portraits and wardrobe tests of stars in costume, and designer sketches. Drawing from archival material and dozens of new interviews with award-winning designers, authors Jay Jorgensen and Donald L. Scoggins offer a highly informative, lavish, and entertaining history of Hollywood costume design. About TCM: Turner Classic Movies is the definitive resource for the greatest movies of all time. It engages, entertains, and enlightens to show how the entire spectrum of classic movies, movie history, and movie-making touches us all and influences how we think and live today. |

| sophie's choice torrent: Shadows of Revolution David A. Bell, 2016-01-08 Renowned historian, essayist, and journalist David A. Bell has long made France and its history the subject of his scholarly gaze and the object of his enduring affection. Shadows of Revolution: Reflections on France, Past and Present gathers together his writing, composed over a period of more than 25 years, into a single volume. As the title of this collection suggests, Bell views much of French history through the lens of the Revolutionary era. Within a space of a dozen years, from Bastille to Bonaparte, the country experimented with and experienced every form of governance, creating in the process, as Bell puts it, the most intense political laboratory the world had ever known. The Revolution remains the country's defining era, delineating its sense of identity and overshadowing the events that followed it. Yet another, Bell argues, is the Vichy period and World War Two-France's dark night of the soul-with whose legacies the country continues to contend. These two moments of violent and transformative upheaval may dominate French history, but as this collection and Bell's observational powers reveal, the full range of topics involving France is endlessly rich and diverse. Divided into eight sections, it connects France's education to its national identity, the Enlightenment to the Revolution and human rights, Napoleon to Victor Hugo, and nineteenth-century anti-Semitism to such recent events such as the riots of 2006, the Arab Spring, and the Charlie Hebdo tragedy. Shadows of Revolution embodies and reflects the endlessly fascinating and entertaining complexity of French history, and shows the ways in which it has shaped world history. |

| sophie's choice torrent: Ethical Foundations for Educational Administration Eugenie Samier, 2003-12-16 Christopher Hodgkinson is one of the most important contributors to the field of educational administration. This collection of essays open up the philosophical foundations of ethical educational administration by reviewing his writings and exploring the ethical theories of major philosophers, as they apply to administration and leadership. Ethical Foundations of Educational Administration is published in honour of the work of Christopher Hodgkinson. It is divided into two sections. The first comprises biographical essays and a critical evaluation of Professor Hodgkinson's work, focusing on his personal and intellectual contributions to a moral theory of educational administration and leadership. The second section looks at how his moral philosophy can inform administrative practice. The work of a broad range of philosophers is discussed, from the pre-20th century theories of Aquinas, Adam Smith and Kant to the pragmatists Peirce, James and Dewey, Heidegger, MacIntyre, Bourdieu, Churchland and Thagard. Christopher Hodgkinson's definition of administration as 'philosophy-in-action' is now famous within the field. This collection illustrates the essential truth of that maxim, showing that moral philosophy, approached in the spirit promoted by Hodgkinson has both practical and critical purpose when brought to bear upon educational administration and leadership. |

John Fletcher, 2015-04-02 After her last two relationships hadn't worked out, 26 year old Sophie decides to go for an older man, but when she asks Tom to live with her, he replies, I will give you a year. Considering the gap in their ages, Tom didn't think it would be right for their relationship to continue indefinitely. Tom's emotional life was in turmoil, so he was naturally drawn to the calm beauty of Sophie. Yet Sophie was harbouring a deep wound and like an animal, hostile towards anyone who came too near, fearing they would take advantage. So as their relationship developed, Tom offered Sophie a challenge: To receive love, he said, we have to dare to be vulnerable, to have faith that the future can be different from the past, to say to the abused child inside: your world has changed, take a risk, come out and play. Sophie's response to this challenge led to such a remarkable journey for them both, that the prospect of sticking to his proposal of parting after a year, became increasingly difficult to face. |

| sophie's choice torrent: The Memory Keeper Hakan Kucukbingol, 2024-11-17 The year is 1942, and German forces have occupied France, casting a dark shadow over the once vibrant streets of Paris. In the heart of this occupied city, a young woman named Sophie Moreau lives a seemingly ordinary life, working as a seamstress to make ends meet. Little does the world know, however, that Sophie harbors an extraordinary secret – the ability to absorb and manipulate the memories of those around her. One fateful evening, as the sounds of boots marching echo through the narrow alleyways, Sophie's life is forever altered. Witnessing a brutal act of violence against a member of the French Resistance, she instinctively reaches out, her fingers grazing the brow of the fallen man. In that moment, his memories flood into her mind, revealing coded communications and secrets of the underground movement fighting against the Nazi regime. Shaken but emboldened, Sophie realizes her gift may be the key to turning the tide against the oppressive occupation. She seeks out Henri Durand, the daring leader of the local Resistance cell, who is initially distrustful of this mysterious young woman. However, as Sophie shares glimpses of the memories she has acquired, Henri recognizes the power she wields and the invaluable asset she could be in their struggle. Under Henri's guidance, Sophie begins to hone her abilities, carefully extracting vital information from the minds of Nazi officers and sympathizers. Her unique talents soon make her indispensable to the Resistance, as she uncovers enemy plans and sabotages their operations from within. Yet, even as she bravely risks her life for the cause, Sophie cannot ignore the growing connection she feels towards Henri, a bond forged in the fires of their shared resistance. As the war rages on, a sinister force emerges – Dr. Klaus Dietrich, a brilliant Nazi scientist obsessed with the study of supernatural abilities. Having caught wind of Sophie's existence, he becomes determined to capture her and unlock the secrets of her power, no matter the cost. In a harrowing game of cat-and-mouse, Sophie and the Resistance must stay one step ahead of Dietrich's relentless pursuit. The stakes are raised even further when Sophie discovers a startling truth – her abilities are inextricably linked to an ancient artifact, a relic of immense power that could shift the balance of the war. With Dietrich closing in and the fate of France hanging in the balance, Sophie and Henri must embark on a perilous quest to uncover the secrets of the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands. In a heart-pounding climax, Sophie and the Resistance launch a daring raid on a heavily fortified Nazi compound, where the artifact is believed to be held. Amidst a hail of gunfire and explosions, Sophie comes face-to-face with Dietrich, and a battle of wills ensues. Drawing upon the collective memories of those she has touched, Sophie unleashes the full extent of her powers, turning the tide of the conflict. As the dust settles, Sophie and Henri stand victorious, the artifact secured and the Resistance's grip on Paris solidified. In the aftermath of their triumph, they share a passionate embrace, their love forged in the crucible of war and the promise of a future free from the shackles of oppression. The Memory Keeper's Secret is a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the indomitable human spirit, set against the backdrop of one of history's darkest chapters. It is a story that celebrates the power of resistance, the unbreakable bonds of love, and the extraordinary potential that lies within us all, waiting to be unlocked. |

| sophie's choice torrent: Whispers of Betrayal Amanda Burrows, 2025-01-25 In a quiet suburban neighbourhood where manicured lawns and white picket fences were the norm, a new arrival was about to shake things up. John, a handsome but unassuming man in his 30s, had settled into a comfortable routine until the moving truck pulled up next door. As the new neighbour, Jessica, unpacked her belongings, John couldn't help but steal glances. She was a vision - long chestnut locks framing an elegant face, curves accentuated by form-fitting sundresses. An undeniable spark of attraction flickered within him. Their paths crossed at the community pool one sweltering afternoon. Jessica's emerald eyes locked with John's over the glistening water. An exchange of smiles led to casual conversation and soon they were fast friends, bonding over shared interests and a sharp sense of humour. Innocent hangouts on John's patio turned into long nights sharing wine and intimate stories. The sexual tension was palpable, yet unspoken. John revelled in Jessica's very presence, every laugh and touch setting his skin ablaze. She seemed to enjoy the flirtation as well, her body angling ever closer to his on the couch. Until one fateful evening, their chemistry could no longer be contained and they gave in to their desires. |
