■戦争を挟んで 今回は、映画の話をしたいと思います。 好きな日本の映画監督を挙げるとしたら、小津安二郎、成瀬巳喜男、川島雄三の三人でしょうか。いずれも戦前から活躍し、70年代に入る前にこの世を去った監督ですが、特に小津さんは、今でも非常に不思議な立ち位置にある人だと私は思っています。 どういうことかと言うと、まず、成瀬は職人的な監督で、男女の微細な感情をとてもうまく映像化する。作品の完成度は高く、しかもおもしろい。通俗的な意味でおもしろいんです。 『浮雲』は成瀬の代表作ですが、こんな作品はもう二度と作れないといった感じに仕上がっている。映し出される風景がとても官能的で、それだけで何かを語ってしまいます。『乱れる』『流れる』なども、あたかも一場のよい芝居を観せられているような作品です。(本文より))内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

Piero della Francesca di Bernard Berenson è un'opera irriverente e rivoluzionaria, un testo cardinale della critica d'arte novecentesca. Berenson insegue la bellezza nascosta e silenziosa a partire dall'arte classica, attraverso le luminose prove medievali, fino alle soglie della modernità di Cézanne, Degas e van Gogh. Perché l'arte è senza tempo, come eterno e sempre nuovo è lo stupore che suscita in noi. Introduzione di Vittorio Sgarbi.

When advertising legend Jim Riswold is stricken with leukemia and prostate cancer, he quits the business that made him famous to become a "fake artist", creating a controversial body of work with a controversial cast of characters, from Hitler to Mao to Kim Jong-Il.

Jeffrey Tambor doesn't work without Marie Larkin, Transparent's hair and wigs guru. In this interview, she convinces us that half the puzzle of character development is solved in the hair studio.

Marie has worked with Jeffrey since the beginning of his career, and talks about their partnership that - despite getting off to a rocky start - ended up lasting a lifetime.

The Shining, de Stanley Kubrick, cette histoire étrange située dans un hôtel où s’installent hors-saison un écrivain, sa femme et leur garçon aux pouvoirs extrasensoriels, a impressionné une foule de spectateurs depuis sa sortie en 1980. C’est à l’âge de dix ans que Simon Roy a découvert ce film, médusé par une réplique: «Tu aimes les glaces, canard?» Depuis, il l’a revu au moins quarante-deux fois, sans doute parce qu’il «contient les symptômes tragiques d’une fêlure» qui l’habite depuis des générations.

What happens to our teenage obsessions when we grow up? How do they help - or harm - us? In this moving, funny memoir, Harry Mount reveals how Elvis released him from the bookish shyness of his sheltered childhood, and provided a magical escape route from his conventional, cloistered public school background.

Elle est en colère contre beaucoup de choses, mais surtout contre moi.

Evento pubblico che chiama in causa memoria storica, coscienza civile e passioni contrapposte: dai tempi eroici del muto all'ibridazione dei media, l'autore ci spiega cosa è stato il cinema nel nostro paese e cosa oggi ancora è.

Precisely because the dance floor stands apart from the everyday world, allowing dancers to play, experiment, and take on new roles, it also serves as a stage for human behavior. Antoinette Benevento, a former national ballroom dancing champion and co-owner of Fred Astaire Dance Studios, has been a student of that stage for 25 years. She has discovered that getting out on the dance floor is a powerful and empowering metaphor for living fully in all realms of life.

The untold story of the innovative pioneers who helped make movies the preeminent art form of the 20th century by founding the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
