Bio Peek : Ingmar Bergman

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 17:53:27 GMT

clipped by: suryasunder

Bergman stormed both the Academy Awards ceremonies and world's top film festivals with each of his films year after year. Three of his films won the Oscars for the Best Foreign Films - Virgin Spring in 1961, Through A Glass Darkly in 1962, and Fanny and Alexander in 1984. He was honoured with the Irving Thalberg Memorial Award by the Academy in 1971. But, ask any Film and Television Institute graduate and he would swear by the magic of Bergman in films like Summer with Monika (1953), Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries (1957) Persona (1966), Cries and Whispers (1973), Autumn Sonata ( 1978). He directed a total of 62 films and 170 plays, giving world cinema actors like Liv Ullman, Max von Sydow.

clipper's remarks: 2 great directors on the same day

RIP: film director Michelangelo Antonioni

The 94-year-old director died in Rome on the same day as Ingmar Bergman:

Tall, cerebral and resolutely serious, Mr. Antonioni harkens back to a time in the middle of the last century when cinema-going was an intellectual pursuit, when purposely opaque passages in famously difficult films spurred long nights of smoky argument at sidewalk cafes, and when fashionable directors like Mr. Antonioni, Alain Resnais and Jean-Luc Godard were chased down the Cannes waterfront by camera-wielding cineastes demanding to know what on earth they meant by their latest outrage.

tarkovsky : time-pressure

clipper's remarks: deleuzian POV? film.vtheatre.net/tarkovsky.html

Clip Source: www.horschamp.qc.ca

Tarkovsky explains that editing cannot be the dominant structural element of a film, as the protagonists of Soviet montage cinema (Kuleshov and Eisenstein) maintained in the 1920’s. The film image comes into being during shooting, and exists within the frame. As Donato Totaro explains, editing brings together shots which are already filled with time (1992, 24). The function of editing is to organize the time-images into a wave structure inherent to film, that is, the time-pressure wave. Tarkovsky’s concept of time-pressure is like a meteorological time-front that propagates from shot-to-shot and throughout the film, or a cardiopulmonary time-pulse that thrust against the arterial walls of the scenes, bringing temporal oxygenation to the shots and overall meaning to the film-form.

The exploratory films of Andrei Tarkovsky

clipper's remarks: I've never ever seen any of these, but it's on my to-do-someday; which is why I'm clipping it! Apparently, I found out the Richie Hawtin video for We(All)Search, which features telekinesis and an unsettling vibe, uses footage from Tarkovsky's Stalker. He's also known for the earlier cinematic adaptation of Solaris.

Art or Porn: Can you tell the difference?

clipper's remarks: I correctly answered 7 out of 10. That'll do, I guess.

The Good Old Naughty Days is a smorgasbord of amateur porn from cinema's infancy. But can you tell it apart from the highest expressions of the seventh art? Have a look at these ten pictures, and for each case answer one simple question: art, or porn?

		1. A young filly, glimpsed in her undies through the keyhole. Is it art (Claude Chabrol's 1959 À Double Tour)? Or porn?

			Porn
			Art

		2. More through-the-keyhole fun. Is it art (Jacques Tati's 1953 film M Hulot's Holiday)? Or porn?

			Porn
			Art

		3. A convivial scene, and no mistake. Again: art (Buster Keaton's Our Hospitality, 1923)? Or porn?

			Art
			Porn

		4. A glimpse of stocking. Is it art (Marlene Dietrich in 1930's The Blue Angel)? Or porn?

			Art

		5. Bad habits. Art (Audrey Hepburn and Peggy Ashcroft in The Nun's Story, 1959)? Or porn?

			Art
			Porn

		6. Can this sort of thing really be art (Kurosawa's Scandal, 1950)? Or is it porn?

			Porn
			Art

		7. Is this saucy young lady the silver screen icon Louise Brooks? Or is this just yet more porn?

			Porn
			Art

		8. Do you recognise this lady as the great comic actor of silent cinema Mabel Normand? Or is she a dilettante of the early porn scene?

			Art
			Porn

		9. Nothing too scandalous here ... yet. Is this about to degenerate into art (Pandora's Box, 1929)? Or porn?

			Porn
			Art

		10. A femme-bot with pointy conical breasts. Art (Fritz Lang's Metropolis, 1926)? Or porn?
