"Because we want to remember her spirit"

Rock and roll's first female superstar, Janis Joplin showed that women could be rock singers. she is remembered as the best white blues singer of the 1960s. Famous for her incendiary stage performances, her masochistic tango with the bottle, her tumultuous love life, and her fatal dalliance with drugs, her musical legacy is also a part of Austin's history – how the disheveled folkie/UT student playing at west campus hootenannies and Kenneth Threadgill's bar on North Lamar took off for San Francisco with some other Texans in the Sixties and changed the history of rock & roll.

Rarement les Américains auront été montrés avec un mélange aussi réussi de réalisme et de férocité. Inspiré de nouvelles de Raymond Carver, Short cuts a permis à Robert Altman de faire preuve d’une ironie dévastatrice et de se lancer dans un film choral, genre dont il est le maître depuis Nashville (1975). Dix ans après sa sortie en salles, le film, l’un des meilleurs du réalisateur de MASH, The player, Cookie’s fortune ou Gosford Park, vient de paraître en un double DVD. Short cuts (Lion d’or à Venise en 1993) est formé d’une multitude d’historiettes quotidiennes, à Los Angeles. Robert Altman en montre des fragments. De banales vies de couple, des personnages qui se croisent. Des ruptures, des tromperies, des engueulades, des peines et des joies. On y découvre une jeune mère de famille qui travaille pour un téléphone rose, un poivrot jaloux, un policier qui trompe son épouse (et qui est trompé par sa maîtresse), une artiste, un médecin, un autre jaloux qui détruit l’appartement de son ex, un couple bourgeois qui vit un horrible drame, une musicienne suicidaire, une partie de pêche où l’on découvre un cadavre de femme…

Using the short stories of Raymond Carver as a jumping-off point, american maverick director Robert Altman weaves a tapestry of interlocking tales set against the seedy backdrop of contemporary middle-class Los Angeles. Tracking the various stages of denial, rage, and despair in the lives of several couples–a philandering cop and his masochistic spouse (Tim Robbins and Madeline Stowe); a helicopter pilot who gets revenge on his ex by trashing her house (Peter Gallagher and Frances McDormand); a man and woman whose perfect life falls apart when they lose their son in a hit-and-run accident (Bruce Davison and Andie MacDowell); a pool cleaner who listens in mounting frustration to his wife performing phone sex each day while tending her brood of children (Chris Penn and Jennifer Jason Leigh); a wealthy couple who are haunted by an incident from the past (Matthew Modine and Julianne Moore); an aging jazz singer and her suicidal daughter (Annie Ross and Lori Singer); an alcoholic limo driver and his waitress wife (Tom Waits and Lily Tomlin)–Altman reveals their common threads of family dysfunction and marital discord in the unforgiving glare of the Southern California sunlight. The result is a sweeping motion picture that also stands as an important sociological artifact of late 20th century Los Angeles life.

Roark is determined to retain his artistic integrity at all costs.

Although Hollywood is finally breaking new ground it doesn't make films like this anymore… and aside from The Fountainhead, truly never did. Looking back today, I found it such a refreshing and unique change. — Gary W. Tooze, DVD Beaver

Martha (1974) - Rainer Werner Fassbinder Movies

Posted by veteandy at April 19, 2009

Martha (long unavailable on DVD) proves to be one of Fassbinder's dramatic and visual triumphs.

Martha features a brilliantly stylized performance from star Margit Carstensen and the virtuosic camerawork of Fassbinder's frequent collaborator, Michael Ballhaus. This riveting tale of a sado-masochistic marriage is astonishing in its balance of psychological horror and pitch-black comedy. The questions it asks about its deliriously complex characters prove as fascinating as the ones it ultimately compels us to ask about ourselves.

The life of the German-Jewish literary critic and philosopher Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) is a veritable allegory of the life of letters in the twentieth century. Benjamin's intellectual odyssey culminated in his death by suicide on the Franco-Spanish border, pursued by the Nazis, but long before he had traveled to the Soviet Union. His stunning account of that journey is unique among Benjamin's writings for the frank, merciless way he struggles with his motives and conscience.

The Gardens of Desire: Marcel Proust and the Fugitive Sublime eBooks & eLearning

The Gardens of Desire: Marcel Proust and the Fugitive Sublime
Stephen Gilbert Brown | ISBN: 0791461130 | PDF | 254 pages | 2004 | 2 MB

The Gardens of Desire is at once a model of literary interpretation and a groundbreaking psychocritical reading of a literary masterpiece, Marcel Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past). Shedding new light on the origins of the creative impulse in general, and on the psychological origins of the Recherche in particular, the book illuminates the hidden associations between matricidal, suicidal, sadistic, masochistic, homoerotic, and creative impulses as manifested in Proust’s work. The book moves beyond traditional Freudian readings of Proust to consider the theories of Otto Rank, Jacques Derrida, and others, and provides provocative readings of the "privileged moments" that comprise many of the work’s "critical cruxes," as well as a thought-provoking rereading of the novel’s ending. Both elegant and accessible, this book boldly explores the violence of desire as it relates not only to Proust’s narrator, but also to Proustian criticism itself, with its own violent desire to appropriate the essence of Proust’s masterpiece.
