	The Times bfi London Film Festival 2004
		These films explore assembled footage and previously unseen representations of the war and the city, aspects to be discussed at History Replayed: The Found Footage Film panel discussion.
		Godard himself appears, teaching a film class on shot-reverse-shot which suggests that each 'shot' is the same and that history is not a progressive dialogue of shot-reverse-shot but simply a repeated image of horror that will never end (hence purgatory, I think).
		An Indian director whose last film was 'Monsoon Wedding', she brings a refreshing approach to the heritage film, emphasizing the grime of nineteenth-century England and suggesting a world outside of London (Napoleonic wars and colonial encounters).

	Movie Review - Magdalene Sisters, The - eFilmCritic
		A large chunk of the second act follows Crispina and her travails as an impetus for Bernadette's quest for freedom, and while it threatens to solely become her story it leads to a moment of absolute depravity that's impossible to disregard.
		Films like The Magdalene Sisters stack the deck so harshly on one perspective that some may trounce on it not playing fair.
		This film is designed with a single purpose in mind - to present to us a bitter bit of history and to make us feel angry about it, in which it succeeds in spades.

	DVD Times: Region 2 Reviews: Bonnie and Clyde
		In this film, death is nasty,brutish and undignified.
		Gene Hackman, in his first major film role at the age of 36, is just right as the loudmouthed Buck and Michael J. Pollard, playing C.W. has a fine quality of weirdness which he continued to exploit for the next twenty five years.
		The look of the film was also very popular, sparking a short-lived fashion craze and counterpointing the stylish look of the outlaws with the violent actions that they perform.

	Film History of the 1920s (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Films really blossomed in the 1920s, expanding upon the foundations of film from earlier years.
		Films varied from sexy melodramas and biblical epics by Cecil B. DeMille, to westerns (such as Cruze's The Covered Wagon (1923)), horror films, gangster/crime films, war films, the first feature documentary or non-fictional narrative film (Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922)), romances, mysteries, and comedies (from the silent comic masters Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd).
		Film theaters and studios were not initially affected in this decade by the Crash in late 1929.

	Mary Pickford, Best Actress Oscar 1929 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mary Pickford won the Oscar for Coquette, her first talking picture, that proved, if anything, that she was much better in silent films.
		Coquette was the story of a flirtatious southern girl, who chooses to stand behind her father after he kills the man that she loves.
		Coquette was typical of the early talkies, where the actors seemed too stiff, or too over the top.

	MF Hussain on Gajgamini
		In a nutshell, the film is a manifestation in vignettes depicting Husain's interpretation of womanhood down the ages.
		But the film says that the archetypal aspect about woman, whatever forms she assumes, is that she caries a gathree (burden), passing it on from one generation to another.
		It was the closing film of the third International Film Festival of the Mumbai Academy of Moving Images (MAMI), which concluded a week-long festival of 88 films from 27 countries, in Bombay on Thursday.

	Film/Classic: Two for the Road (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The film skillfully negotiates the tightrope between frothy romantic comedy and melodramatic marriage.
		The only drawback in the film is the couple's insufferable road trip with one of the architect's old flames, played by Eleanor Bron, and her husband, played by William Daniels and their obnoxious young daughter.
		This is a film of great affection that not only delightful catches the exuberance of the mid-1960s but also the pains of growing old and maintaining the flame of love.

	Coquette
		Pickford was one of the founding members of the Academy and sat on its board the year she won, despite the commercial failure of the picture and the severe unpopularity of her performance in it.
		Except that film is supposed to be funny, and Hagen is supposed to be bad in it.
		Coquette only exists today because Pickford won her Oscar; otherwise, I'm sure the print would have been left to split and erode like most of the other films made in 1929.

		She used her influence to pass censorship approval to produce a film version of the play, which was considered highly immoral.
		This injustice persists to this day, as "Coquette" is readily available for rent or purchase on video, while "The Letter" is rarely screened and exists only in two film archives (the Museum of Modern Art, and the LOC).
		Some of the dialogue and staging from this later film is remarkably similar to that in the original (1929) film.

		Being the alluring beauty might have won the hearts of her companions in “King Arthur” and “Pirates of the Caribbean”, thereby ensuring her character’s survival, but in “The Hole,” good looks and a great body turn out to be less of a blessing.
		The film starts with a visibly confused Elizabeth stumbling to her ominously empty school, dialing the police from a pay phone, and screaming into the receiver.
		As Hamm’s film later reveals, there are two versions of what occurred and why Elizabeth is the lone survivor.

	Movie Review - Magdalene Sisters, The - eFilmCritic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The film opens with each girl’s moment of reckoning, or at least an example from it — a rape, a schoolgirl coquette in action, an unwed mother being forced to sign over her baby right after birth.
		Instead is the careful documentation and initiation of the trip into their new surroundings, having their first impressions thrust at them in the daily rituals of their new supervised life.
		Empathy has a definite role in the film, but it’s only used as a starting point; Mullan doesn’t focus on generating sympathy for his characters as he is more interested in examining and analyzing who they are.

		This film, along with Truffaut’s Les Quatre cents coups, lay the foundation for the New Wave, the most exciting period in French film cinema history.
		The film, despite winning financial backing and targeted at a mainstream audience, was an almighty flop.
		Although still revered by a section of the film critic community, his films have by now become so inaccessible and far removed from the mainstream that they appeal to a minority of cinema goers.

		Imagine a film where an actresses continually wanted to show the left side of her face to camera which was only one example of ways in which she was fixed in the manner of her work.
		Although some of her roles showed her to be a considerable talent most of her film output did not match the promise which leaves you wondering about the validity of the good work in the end.

	HistoryLink Essay: Mary Pickford begins a national stage tour at Seattle’s Metropolitan Theatre on May 20, 1935.
		On May 20, 1935, film star Mary Pickford (1893-1979), starting a new phase in her career, begins a national tour in the stage play Coquette with a performance at Seattle’s Metropolitan Theatre.
		In choosing Seattle as the opening city of her tour, “America’s Sweetheart,” as she was commonly known during her screen days, was acknowledging the appreciation of local audiences, which had earlier hailed a series of Pickford’s radio broadcasts in the same play.
		Although she played a variety of roles onscreen, throughout her film career Mary Pickford became closely associated with the spunky young heroines she played in hits such as Tess of the Storm Country (1918, and remade in 1922), Pollyanna (1919) and Sparrows (1926).

	goatdog's movies - Coquette, 1929
		While I wouldn't recommend this film as a film per se, it is an interesting portrait of the problems that plagued sound films in the years following the advent of sound over silent films.
		The film is very stagy, the characters don't move around a lot, there is little editing within the scene, and the actors overact.
		The art form that had been the silent film, as practiced by such geniuses as Sergei Eisenstein and D.W. Griffith, had to go back to square one as a result of this novelty, sound.

		The following is a list of films that Lana signed for, was in talks for, or was announced to do but for one reason or another she never ended up doing the film.
		In the fall of 1947, MGM announced this film as Lana's "comeback" picture after she had been away from the screen for a year, after being on an extended honeymoon with then hubby Bob Topping.
		This "woman in jeopardy" themed filmed would have been Lana's first Hollywood-made project in ten years (1969's The Big Cube and 1974's Persecution were both made abroad), but a fight between the two co-producers, Leo Winter and John Lauricella put the project in limbo.
