| Anne Wiazemsky plunges the reader with modesty, restraint and great skill into youth, when being eighteen is synonymous with fragility. The threads of the author smooth story, were intended to be novelistic and it couldn’t be any other way.more |

Rencontres autour du doublage des films et des séries télé

Dubbing is an aspect of film work that does not usually get much attention. Most people simply consider it to be the domain of second-rate actors. Jean Renoir went as far as to describe it as "a monstrosity".
After presenting the history of dubbing and the evolution of its techniques, this book allows those involved in the field speak. The reader learns about the difficulties of a profession about which little is known by the general public. Notable among the contributors are William Sabatier (the voice of Marlon Brando) and Georges Aminel (the voice of Yul Brynner in the French version of The Ten Commandments. The reader also learns about the important change after the first teleprompter technologies arrived, providing the text beneath the film image; before that, actors had to memorize their parts as if they were in a theatre production.more |

Carlo Gozzi, author of Turandot, enumerated 36 dramatic situations. Here Marie Briselance applies this principle to film. The book is thus divided into 36 chapters, from Madness to Remorse, Rivalry of Kinsmen to Mistaken Jealousy. The 22nd dramatic situation, "Bold Sacrifice for Passion", provides the framweork for the author to mention Kubrick´s Barry Lyndon and Mankiewicz´s Gone with the wind.
Screenwriters in need of ideas would do well to study this succession of typical situations which some of the greatest filmmakers used to make their masterpieces. This book is both stimulating in its juxtaposition of different films and smart in its reflections on literary and cinematographic creation.more |

Anti-heroes of all kind: gangsters, murderers, detectives, psychopaths and vamps, all take part in the Manichean universe of the "film noir" which had its heyday in Hollywood between the 1940s and 1960s. However, one can find its sources much earlier in both literature and in silent movies. more |
