| sous le ciel de paris film: Julien Duvivier Ben McCann, 2017-02-26 This book is the first ever English-language study of Julien Duvivier (1896-1967), once considered one of the world's great filmmakers. It provides new contextual and analytical readings of his films that identify his key themes and techniques, trace patterns of continuity and change, and explore critical assessments of his work over time. His career began in the silent era and ended as the French New Wave was winding down. In between, Duvivier made over sixty films in a long and at times difficult career. He was adept at literary adaptation, biblical epic, and film noir, and this groundbreaking volume illustrates in great detail Duvivier's eclecticism, technical efficiency and visual fluency in works such as Panique (1946) and Voici le temps des assassins (1956). It will particularly appeal to scholars and students of French cinema looking for examples of a director who could straddle the realms of the popular and the auteur. |
| sous le ciel de paris film: Film and Community in Britain and France Margaret Butler, 2004-08-27 Relations between France and Britain have always been uneasy and ambivelant. But in cinema, WWII changed all that for a time. Although the two countries' wartime fortunes differed, post-war both were busy reintegrating returning servicemen and prisoners of war, and accomodating the changed aspirations of women. Margaret Butler examines these subjects and more in her comparative study of the cinemas of Britain and France during and after the war. Using the concept of continuity, she shows how cinema dealt directly with ideas of belonging and alienation, inclusion and exclusion, unity and division. She also draws on contemporary debates and offers a perceptive reading of key films, to reveal the meaning and appeal of French classics like Les Enfants du Paradis and notable British productions like Waterloo Road. |
| sous le ciel de paris film: Encyclopedia of French Film Directors Philippe Rège, 2009-12-11 Cinema has been long associated with France, dating back to 1895, when Louis and Auguste Lumi_re screened their works, the first public viewing of films anywhere. Early silent pioneers Georges MZli_s, Alice Guy BlachZ and others followed in the footsteps of the Lumi_re brothers and the tradition of important filmmaking continued throughout the 20th century and beyond. In Encyclopedia of French Film Directors, Philippe Rège identifies every French director who has made at least one feature film since 1895. From undisputed masters to obscure one-timers, nearly 3,000 directors are cited here, including at least 200 filmmakers not mentioned in similar books published in France. Each director's entry contains a brief biographical summary, including dates and places of birth and death; information on the individual's education and professional training; and other pertinent details, such as real names (when the filmmaker uses a pseudonym). The entries also provide complete filmographies, including credits for feature films, shorts, documentaries, and television work. Some of the most important names in the history of film can be found in this encyclopedia, from masters of the Golden Age_Jean Renoir and RenZ Clair_to French New Wave artists such as Fran_ois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. |
| sous le ciel de paris film: Enduring Postwar Kendall Heitzman, 2019-12-15 Yasuoka Shōtarō (1920–2013) was perfectly situated to become Japan's premier chronicler of the Shōwa period (1926–89). Over fifty years as a writer, Yasuoka produced stories, novels, plays, and essays, as well as monumental histories that connected his own life to those of his ancestors. He was also the only major Japanese writer to live in the American South during the Civil Rights Movement, when he spent most of an academic year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. In 1977, he translated Alex Haley's Roots into Japanese. For a long period, Yasuoka was at the center of the Japanese literary establishment, serving on prize committees and winning the major literary prizes of the era: the Akutagawa, the Noma, the Yomiuri, and the Kawabata. But what makes Yasuoka fascinating as a writer is the way that he consciously, deliberately resisted accepted narratives of modern Japanese history through his approach to personal and collective memory. In Enduring Postwar, the first literary and biographical study of Yasuoka in English, Kendall Heitzman explores the element of memory in Yasuoka's work in the context of his life and evolving understanding of postwar Japan. |

| sous le ciel de paris film: Paris and the Cliché of History Catherine E. Clark, 2018-07-19 This book turns a compelling new lens on thinking about the history of Paris and photography. The invention of photography changed how history could be written. But the now commonplace assumptions--that photographs capture fragments of lost time or present emotional gateways to the past--that structure today's understandings did not emerge whole cloth in 1839. Focusing on one of photography's birthplaces, Paris and the Cliché of History tells the story of how photographs came to be imagined as documents of the past. Author Catherine E. Clark analyzes photography's effects on historical interpretation by examining the formation of Paris's first photo archives at the Musée Carnavalet and the city's municipal library, their use in illustrated history books and historical exhibitions and reconstructions such as the 1951 celebration of Paris's 2000th birthday, and the public's contribution to the historical record in amateur photo contests. Despite the photograph's growing importance in these forums, it did not simply replace older forms of illustration, visual documentation, or written text. Photos worked in complex and shifting relation to other types of pictures as photographers, popular historians, and publishers built on the traditions and iconography of painting and engraving in order to both document the past scientifically and objectively and to reconstruct it romantically. In doing so, they not only influenced how Parisians thought about the city's past and how they pictured it; they also ensured that these images shaped how Parisians lived their own lives--especially in deeply charged moments such as the Liberation after World War II. This history of picturing Paris does not simply reflect the city's history: it is Parisian history. |

| sous le ciel de paris film: Quand j'étais star Jean-François Josselin, 2014-04-01 Un petit garçon est assis devant sa table de travail. Il n'étudie pas, il rêve. Il s'appelle Howard Guitry. Il n'est pas l'enfant d'un couple de professeurs, n'habite pas la banlieue parisienne et ne poursuit pas mollement des études secondaires dans un lycée de Paris. Non, Howard, fils secret de la star américaine Susan Hayward et de Sacha Guitry, est la vedette prodige de Hollywood. C'est aussi un pianiste génial, un chanteur paralytique à la voix d'or, l'ami intime de Lauren Bacall et de Line Renaud. Voici une autobiographie singulière : à la recherche de son identité, le narrateur effeuille ses fantasmes comme on arrache des masques. Amoureux intrépide du monde du spectacle, il risque de se perdre dans les pages des magazines du cinéma, où d'illustres célébrités aux noms bizarres l'entraînent vers les rivages du Pacifique. Plus tard, tout aussi téméraire, il monte enfin sur les planches d'un très modeste cours d'art dramatique, figure dans les choeurs d'un opéra d'Honegger, invente une star caricaturale, guette dans les autobus les cadillac de producteurs. Car le monde entier, pour lui, est un studio : il joue ses scènes d'amour avec les tables et danse avec les portes. Les seuls soleils qui le réchauffent sont les spots et les projecteurs, en dépit de toutes les désillusions de l'enfance. |
| sous le ciel de paris film: Edge of the Screen Murray Pomerance, 2024-11-14 This book is a series of seventeen mediations that revolve around the notion of the viewer's placement at the edge of the screen. Every page is an opportunity to think about an aspect of film, or of film viewing, in new ways, and to begin reconsidering deeply ingrained ways of unthinkingly characterizing and accounting for what it is that we watch when we watch a film, what happens to us, and how we make sense of and appreciate it. This volume follows from three others by the author: Virtuoso: Film Performance and the Actor's Magic (2020); The Film Cheat: Cinematic Artifice and Viewing Pleasure (2021); and Uncanny Cinema: Agonies of the Viewing Experience (2022). All of these, including Edge of the Screen, meander and interrogate cinema as we watch it, both connecting us to and disconnecting us from the moment of pleasure. Each meditation is characterized by a deep penetration of the inquiring, continually hungry authorial mind and a very extensive set of analyses of filmic moments from myriad films, including 2001: A Space Odyssey, Memento, Zabriskie Point, An American in Paris, Planet of the Apes (1968), Superman (1978), Possessed, The Jungle Book (1942), The Spy Who Came In from the Cold, The Toll of the Sea, Rope, and numerous others. These meditations are careful and philosophical as much as energetically ruminative, yet are written in an accessible style for all interested readers who both love cinema and wonder about that love. Each chapter can stand alone, even though all work together to challenge perspectives on what we encounter, experience, think, and feel when we watch films. Across its chapters, Edge of the Screen takes on a wide range of topics: the ontology of film; the relation between characters, actors, and the figures who appear onscreen; film's relationships to the other arts, especially painting but also novels and theatre; the passage of time in film, and its momentary character; film criticism, including deeply held values such as coherence; film's relationship to mortality; and more. |
| sous le ciel de paris film: The Heroic City Rosemary Wakeman, 2009-12-15 The Heroic City is a sparkling account of the fate of Paris’s public spaces in the years following Nazi occupation and joyful liberation. Countering the traditional narrative that Paris’s public landscape became sterile and dehumanized in the 1940s and ’50s, Rosemary Wakeman instead finds that the city’s streets overflowed with ritual, drama, and spectacle. With frequent strikes and protests, young people and students on parade, North Africans arriving in the capital of the French empire, and radio and television shows broadcast live from the streets, Paris continued to be vital terrain. Wakeman analyzes the public life of the city from a variety of perspectives. A reemergence of traditional customs led to the return of festivals, street dances, and fun fairs, while violent protests and political marches, the housing crisis, and the struggle over decolonization signaled the political realities of postwar France. The work of urban planners and architects, the output of filmmakers and intellectuals, and the day-to-day experiences of residents from all walks of life come together in this vibrant portrait of a flamboyant and transformative moment in the life of the City of Light. |

| sous le ciel de paris film: Charles Boyer John Baxter, 2021-11-23 Charles Boyer: The French Lover is the first biography of Boyer to exist in English in almost forty years. Author John Baxter artfully presents the often-tragic life of this often overlooked, yet profoundly impactful French actor. Baxter relates how Boyer (1899–1978) established himself in the theater and cinema of France, confidently transitioning from silent film to sound and making a name for himself as a romantic leading man in Hollywood through the early 1940s. During World War II, Boyer put his career on hold to become politically active on behalf of his occupied home country. Upon returning to the stage and screen, Boyer adapted effortlessly to postwar character roles in both Europe and the United States. He entered television in the 1950s as both producer and performer, and then remade himself as a comedy performer in the 1960s. Nominated four times for Academy Awards, he was honored by the Academy only once—a special honorary award received for his activities on behalf of France during World War II. In an insightful analysis of Boyer's choice of roles during and after World War II, Baxter shows that the actor possessed a shrewd perception of his image. Baxter reveals how Boyer, realizing his accent would always mark him as an outsider, both embraced and subverted that identity. Far from clinging to the performances that made him famous, Boyer showed a readiness to break the mold. Yet above all, Baxter argues, Boyer's greatest achievement was becoming the embodiment of exiles everywhere. |

| sous le ciel de paris film: The New Biographical Dictionary of Film David Thomson, 2010 Thomson (independent scholar), writing of The Biographical Dictionary of Film (aka A Biographical Dictionary of the Cinema, 1975 edition), described it as a personal, opinionated, and obsessive biographical dictionary of the cinema. Thirty-five years and several editions later, that description still holds true of this expanded work. The new dictionary summarizes salient facts about its subjects' lives and discusses their film credits in terms of the quality of the filmmakers' work. In ambition it has competitors, including Leslie Halliwell's various editions of Halliwell's Filmgoers Companion (12th ed., 1997) and Halliwell's Who's Who in the Movies, edited by John Walker (4th ed., rev. and updated, 2006), which cover films and technical terms (categories not included in Thomson's), but whose entries are neutral and exceedingly brief. Additionally, Francophile Richard Roud's edited Cinema: A Critical Dictionary: The Major Filmmakers (2 v., 1980) is as passionate a work as Thomson's, but narrower in scope, with entries written by various experts, rather than only by Roud. Finally, the multivolume magnum opus The International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers (4th ed., 2000, ed. by T. Pendergast and S. Pendergast; 2nd ed., ed. by N. Thomas, v. 1, CH, May'91; 1st ed., ed. by C. Lyon, v.1-2, CH, Jan'85, v.3, CH, Apr'87, v.4-5, CH, Jun'88) covers everything--films, directors, actors, writers, and production artists--with generous, measured, scholarly entries and lavish illustrations. However, it looms large and heavy, unlike the handy one-volume work by Thomson. Arguably, Thomson's work, for its scope, is the most fun, the most convenient, and the most engaging title. All libraries supporting people interested in film should buy it. It will get lots of use and provide very good value for the money. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers. General Readers; Lower-division Undergraduates; Upper-division Undergraduates; Graduate Students; Researchers/Faculty; Professionals/Practitioners. Reviewed by C. Hendershott. |

| sous le ciel de paris film: Soundtracks Stewart R. Craggs, 2019-05-03 First published in 1998, music scored for film has only relatively recently received the critical attention which it merits. Many composers in the twentieth century have written works for films or documentaries, a number feeling that this aspect of their output has been undervalued. This dictionary complements other studies which have appeared in recent years which look at the technical and theoretical issues concerned with film music composition. Arranged alphabetically by composer, the volume comprises over 500 entries covering all nationalities. Each entry includes very brief biographical information on the composer, followed by a list of the films (with dates) for which he or she has composed. Details of recordings are also given. The dictionary’s international coverage ensures that it will become a standard reference work for all those interested in the history of twentieth-century music and the development of film. |
| sous le ciel de paris film: Walzerfilme und Filmwalzer Georg Maas, Wolfgang Thiel, Hans. J. Wulff, 2022-02-01 Seine Popularität, seine musikalische Wiedererkennbarkeit wie auch der Reichtum ihn umgebender Bilder und Assoziationen machten den Walzer schon frühzeitig zum vielfältig einsetzbaren Versatzstück der Filmmusik – zu Stummfilm- wie zu Tonfilmzeiten. Das Publikum konnte sich unmittelbar der Musik anschließen, eine wesentliche Voraussetzung, damit Filmmusik die einkalkulierten Wirkungen beim Publikum entfalten kann.Die Beständigkeit, mit der der Walzer die Filmgeschichte begleitete, aber auch die vielfältigen Kontexte, in denen er anzutreffen ist, gaben den Impuls zu dem vorliegenden Sammelband. Er vereint sehr unterschiedliche thematische Entdeckungsreisen zu Walzerfilmen und Filmwalzern. |

| sous le ciel de paris film: The Dark and the Bright Hilde Spiel, 2007 The author, journalist, and grand dame of Austrian literature (as she was known in her own lifetime), Hilde Spiel, was born in Vienna in 1911. She emigrated to London in 1936, returning to her Austria for the first time in 1946 as correspondent for the New Statesman. Beginning during her long years of emigration, she created a series of impressive works in both English and German novels such as Flute and Drums and The Darkened Room, her biography of Fanny von Arnstein, several volumes of stories, literary essays and critical works, as well as translations of works by renowned English poets, novelists and dramatists. For twenty years she was Austrian correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Weltwoche, and from 1937 onward an active member of International PEN. She later became general secretary and then vice-president of Austrian PEN. In the early 1960s she resettled in Austria for good, despite her awareness that the chasm between those who had stayed at home and those who had emigrated would never again close completely. In her later years she was honoured with several important literary prizes. Her memoirs, a microcosm of literary and political life in Europe during the upheavals of the twentieth century, not only vividly portray Hilde Spiel as an individual and an intellectual of her time, but also convey the conflicting forces in the lives of Europeans during and after the years of the Second World War. |

| sous le ciel de paris film: Crossing Saturday Furlong Thomas Lincoln, 2003-09-25 Crossing Saturday Furlong is a European travel memoir for those who cant afford to quit their day job. The story unfolds between the cubicle rows of corporate America, then -in reminiscenceleads us down the thistle-strewn lanes between the hedgerows of Gloucestershire, and beyond. While others exchange the customary greeting, Busy? Crazy as usualyou? the author daydreams in meetings about travels past and planned. It seems he has mentally dropped out. But is there more behind his casual veneer? To find out, we trace back to a younger self, who has walked off his job and persuaded his considerably less impulsive romantic interest to do the same. They dodge terrorists bombs in Paris, get fogged in on a remote Alpine mountainside with a gnarled crone and a band of yodeling mountain men, stage a Chinese fire drill on a Roman bus, and are mobbed by babushka-clad matrons in the former Yugoslavia. Passionate and demonstrative, he revels in his freedom, while she guards her feelings -and guards against being left without a room for the night. Looking closer to find her, he is drawn past the surface of their surroundings, and changed in a way that he never expected. He returns to his old work life, enervated by a new outlook. Fourteen years later, married and stably employed, they return to Europe on a three-week vacation, with a much younger sister-in-law and her freeloading college classmate in tow. Confronting how the intervening years have changed him provides another learning experience, and it is travel once again that teaches him to be comfortable with his journey through life. |
| sous le ciel de paris film: English Book Jean-Michel Jarre Nicolas Kern, Michael Duguay, 2019-04-04 A tape recorder. It is this device that served as the first electronic instrument to Jean-Michel Jarre: « My grandfather had given me a tape recorder and with my rock band, I recorded guitar solos that I was reversing, organ parts that I was slowing down. » Passionate about sound, the young Jarre applied to the Musical Research Group in 1968: 200 candidates present themselves for 4 places. Jean-Michel Jarre passes the exam and joins the GRM, which is then the best school in the world concerning electro-acoustic music. Trained by Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer, Jean-Michel Jarre discovers an innovative approach to music at the time. Speaking of Pierre Henry, JMJ said: « He is the first, with Pierre Schaeffer, who said that the music was not only made of notes based on music theory, but sounds and that we could go out with a microphone and go record the sound of the rain, the sound of the wind, and make music out of it. » On leaving the GRM, Jean-Michel Jarre becomes a composer, lyricist, arranger and producer. And then in 1976, in his apartment turned into a home studio, he composes a record of instrumental music that nobody wants: Oxygène. Producer Francis Dreyfus accepts to release the album and it's a revolution. Thanks to this record, « He [Jean-Michel] has made millions of people discover electronic music! » Moby From Lyon to Equinoxe Infinity, discover the story of one of the pioneers of electronic music. |
