	Bazin on CinemaScope
		As matters stand today, since not all films have been made to undergo this surgical operation, the framing is left to the initiative of the projectionist, who is supposed to choose between beheading the characters and cutting off their legs, according to his personal complexes.
		In this respect, film is not an art form, it is not the fulfilment of an eternal need or a newly created one (are there any radically new needs?); rather, it is the result of the happy conjunction between a virtual need and the technological-economic state of civilization.
		Film will thus grow even more apart from the abstractions of music and painting, and will get even nearer to it profound vocation, which is to show before it expresses, or, more accurately, to express through the evidence of the real.

	Our Brand Is Crisis previously at Film Forum in New York City
		In a country facing a calamitous economic crisis, Goni - a wealthy businessman who privatized Bolivia's economy and created social security (when he was president in the mid-‘90s) - isn't a popular candidate.
		Boynton’s film is both a terrific case study in the events leading up to Morales’s win and a shocking example of how U.S. marketing strategies can affect the spreading of “our brand of democracy” overseas.
		Film Forum is located at 209 W Houston Street, between 6th Avenue and Varick, in New York City.

	Bangladesh ShowBiz - Crisis in film industry: Bengali films: An appraisal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It is true that the gangster ridden action films of the present, flanked on either side by local belles who seem always ready to burst into song and dance, do not come close to the romantic innocence with which Bangladeshi films were inaugurated in the mid 1950s.
		The film making effort here was still very much in its infancy, and that film together with Akash O Mati and Edesh Amar Tomar, strongly gave the impression that film was still thought to be stage acting captured and recorded on celluloid.
		The film soundtrack was of paramount importance and clearly delineated film as something light and dreamy compared with the formality and rigidity of the stage.

	From Revolution to Reconstruction: Essays: Does Film Noir mirror the culture of contemporary America?: Film noir and ...
		Film noir shows a transitional stage in American ideology, when the American identity changes from being pre-industrial to a mass consumer society with an industrialized corporate state.
		Film noir can be seen as both a screen style, and a perspective on human existence and society.
		The way women are presented in film noir I find rooted in the fact that in America during World War II women had won access to the economic sphere, which field had formerly been exclusively for men.

	Identity Crisis \| Film \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		WHEN I WAS in college, I at first wanted to study film, but in the end it proved too expensive: The film studies program not only demanded massive course fees, but asked that students finance their own thesis film to the tune of up to $15,000.
		Written by and starring the boyish, bird-faced Mike White (another Wesleyan don), the film examines the creeping maturity of Buck, a stunted man-child whose mother dies at the film's opening.
		Her plastic exterior slowly gives way to an atypically deep and thoughtful well of understanding as she deals with her boyfriend's strange appendage with sanguine affect, uncynically urging a reconciliation between the two even as it becomes obvious that there are deeper secrets between them.

		The film was expected to make a frontal attack on President Bush, in spite of the fact that Stark, unlike Bush, is a populist, a “hick,” and a Democrat.
		At moments in the film, he does seem to perfectly encapsulate the demagoguery of the man; but at other times the viewer is tempted to look away in embarrassment.
		This is particularly crucial in the film because Burden is the one character with whom the audience might sympathize.

		You know, Hong Kong film folk used to complain all through the 90's that there was little to no support for their film industry from the HK govt.
		As such, this "crisis" is probably not so much financial as a crisis of identity.

		Among her other films in which female leads form the center of the narratives are Starry Is the Night (1988) and Song of the Exile (1990).
		Her comedy film The Spooky Bunch (1980) not only brought the genre into the realm of ghosts and spirits (which the Hong Kong cinema would later combine with the kung fu film), but also feminist concerns and a love story theme.
		It also dealt with the notion that honor among thieves and murderers was the highest type of honor — a theme common in the swordfighting martial arts genre, as is the theme of revenge for betrayal.

	CSIndy: A Crisis in Cardigans (January 2, 2003)
		It's tempting to lump Alexander Payne's About Schmidt into the unsanctioned genre of "midlife crisis film." These predictably inspiring tales usually feature a woman toppling the tyranny of a sour marriage or a mean-spirited codger learning to love again through forced proximity to an insufferably cute 6-year-old.
		The sine qua non for any midlife crisis film, however, is the affirmation that AARP members can still have sex.
		The film opens during the final-second countdown of his 35-year career at an Omaha insurance firm.
