	Ecstasy
		The film does use background music, but that is not substantially different from the score that would have been played by the organist if this had been a silent.
		I suppose the best silent film directors were damned good with visual narrative, since they had to rely completely on photography and editing to tell their stories.
		Films under five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film, equivalent to about one and a half stars from the critics or less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

	Lou Reed: Ecstasy (2000): Reviews
		Though Ecstasy is gruesome, fearsome and rife with realism much in the same way as his heart-stopping shocker, Berlin (1973), Reed has a compelling way with words, and a magic touch with psycho-delic guitar riffs that dare us to follow him down the back alleys to his darkest thoughts.
		While Ecstasy is essentially a concept album about the fantasies and realities of love and family, it includes as much sex, drugs, and rock n' roll culture as any of Reed's earlier work.
		Ecstasy is the awesome sonic marriage of his writing and words, his reckless musical ear, his passion, and his guitar playing.

	JIVEMagazine.com - AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR SET TO HELM ECSTASY FILM
		Ecstasy, a collection of three short stories, was published in 1996 and became No. 1 in it's first week of publication.
		Ecstasy is a redemption story about purifying the pursuit of transcendent experience reached with drugs, dance and music, by encouraging self discipline and healthy lifestyles that naturally empower.
		The film is about a jaded ecstasy dealer, on the Edinburgh dance scene, who struggles to overcome a debt to a local gangster when he has an eye opening experience of true love with a straight girl.

	Film Censorship in New York State (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		While early films featured potentially objectionable themes such as brutality, crime, drunkenness, divorce, and sex, their treatment was no more excessive than it had been in burlesque houses and dime novels.
		Virtually every film shown in the State was submitted for review with the exception of education, scientific, and current events films.
		The censorship determination was appealed to the Board of Regents which rescinded the film's license, declaring the film "sacrilegious." The State Court of Appeals upheld this action but the U.S. Supreme Court later overturned it, ruling that "sacrilegious" was unconstitutionally vague.

	Film History of the 1930s
		All films would be submitted for a "seal of approval" - and if a film was unacceptable and denied a seal, it was not to be exhibited in theaters, and the studio would be fined $25,000.
		Film studios submitted their films for review before release in order to be awarded an MPPDA seal of approval - if they met strict standards of decency.
		Especially after Warners' early cycle of gritty crime and gangster films, including Little Caesar (1930), Public Enemy (1931), and Scarface (1932), this distinctive genre of films was required to be cleaned up, to display social consciousness, to combat the depiction of the criminal as a folk hero, and to include platitudes that crime-does-not-pay.

	Review: 'The Fountain' Riveting Film Experience - @ The Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		If his past films were stories about mathematicians and druggies seeking something divine through their obsessions, then this film is about the timeless struggle between man and death; about how men have tirelessly sought to defy the fundamental law of mortality.
		His films are sensory experiences, avoiding words whenever necessary and always chasing a balance of simple spectacle and profound metaphor.
		Playing to the full range of human emotion, he is simultaneously rugged, angry, distressed, philosophical and devastated, carrying the weight of the film's most surreal scenes and fixing the audience's attention, regardless of century, on the same quest that obsesses his character.

		With no words spoken in the early part of the film, she is able to grasp our sympathy, our hearts and our support.
		While I don't elevate "Ecstasy" to the "A" range, I mostly concur with TC on the magnificence of Hedy Lamarr.
		It is certainly tame by today's standards, but it's still a remarkably beautiful film and so far ahead of its time that I'd consider it a must-see for any true fan of the history of film.

	Dances of Ecstasy - Film - Sedona TranceDance
		The film makers traveled to traditional and modern day rituals to discover what is the altered state experience which people seek through dance.
		The film explores the many levels of trance and discovers that what links them together is the human need to connect with a spiritual dimension – a living part of many traditional cultures, which modern culture seeks to recapture.
		The film is an inspiration to dance, and to reconnect with a sense of the sacred that many have lost touch with in modern life.

		The film narrative deliberately distorts the temporal ordering of events as flashbacks, jumps forward, slowing down and speeding up of events are used to show the effect of memories on Paromita's mind.
		May be, a momentary possibility of love between them have been affected by social contraints but the film doesn't give enough space to harbour such ideas but the possibility cannot be ignored.
		Thus this film classically deconstructs the fragility of particularly as the two women come close to each other in a world of their own, each understanding other's sorrow, pain and joy.

	Hedy Lamarr Summary
		It was at a Hollywood dinner party in 1940 that she met George Antheil, a film scorer and avant-garde composer, and together they brainstormed the concept of frequency shifting, also known as frequency hopping.
		Many also say that Lamarr's co-invention of spread spectrum as a potential World War II military application was sparked by her desire to do anything in her power to help see Nazism defeated.
		In Hollywood, she appeared in many films, usually cast as glamorous and seductive, including Algiers (1938), White Cargo, and Tortilla Flat (both 1942), based on the novel by John Steinbeck.

	22 Million Americans Suffer from Substance Abuse
		Parents of teens don't seem to be acting on the knowledge that the ecstasy epidemic could harm their children, according to a study released by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America in October 2003.
		Though ecstasy use by teens appears to have stabilized at 11 percent between 2001-2002, the trend from the mid-nineties to now had been skyrocketing.
		Chronic, or past-month users, of ecstasy are a smaller group: only 0.5 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds, and 1.1 percent of 18- to 25-year-olds.

		Ecstasy ruled the roost then, and continues to this very day: This past April, the British drug czar noted that Ecstasy remains a veritable staple of nightlife across the entire United Kingdom, with an estimated 500,000 tablets and capsules changing hands every weekend.
		Ecstasy stimulates the tactile senses to the point where the whole concept of a back rub verges on the orgasmic.
		As far as Austin's Ecstasy situation, Burns says he doesn't think there's a boom under way, believing instead that much of what passes for MDMA on the street is actually over-the-counter cold remedy ephedrine, retabbed and packaged as the real deal.

		The film so infuriated her new husband, business tycoon and munitions manufacturer Fritz Mandl, he ordered his staff to buy up every print of the film in existence, spending some $280,000 in the process.

		The film understands that as much as poverty is about basic survival – food and housing – there is an emotional dimension to the state of being without, too, an adjacent shame carved into Gardner’s exhausted face.
		In this semi-fictionalized account of the rise of the CIA in Cold War America, Wilson is the kind of robotic patriot one would have to be, and Damon is in a perfect state of hackles-raised alertness, as if every passing stranger, every crumpled paper, is a piece of intelligence waiting to be deciphered.
		Watts is wonderfully wry as the former party girl reluctantly reined in and Norton uses his squinting blandness to good effect, showing his spiny side at the very moment you’re rooting for her to leave him.

	Interview with Filmmaker Laurel Greenberg about the film "Trouble in Paradise,", 07/04
		Lamar may be known to movie buffs as Hedwig Keisler, her stage name when she appeared in the first feature film nude scene in the 1932 Czech film "Ecstasy." In scientific circles, Lamar may be remembered for patenting an invention during World War II for a radio-guided torpedo that was unjammable.
		Within less than a decade, when the allies were losing the war at sea, she was to break a second barrier when she patented an invention designed to make a radio guided torpedo that was was unjammable.
		Lamarr is one of several subjects Perkins and her production team have in the works, all of which are American men and women in the sciences and humanities, a mix of icons and relatively obscure characters that broke barriers and significantly altered the cultural scene.

		Last decade, of course, heroin chic raged with films showcasing trippy, spaced out waifs too skinny even for anamorphic lenses to fill out.
		Chronicling the unending, chemically fueled string of clubs, parties, and raves five British mates on the brink of outgrowing their Gen-X status use to escape from the hassles of the work week, "Human Traffic" is a sort of UK-based "Go" meets "Friends" with better music.

		She plays her "fl widow" role with enough pathos that the audience is always, somehow, on her side — even if her character deteriorates rapidly as the film unfolds.
		The setup and finale are not terribly convincing, however, thus docking the film a few points.
		Nevertheless, on the whole, the film is a pleasingly stylistic experience.

	Brief Ecstasy Film Review - Time Out Film
		A remarkable film, thematically not dissimilar to Brief Encounter, except that lust is given a fair crack of the whip.
		A strong erotic undertow runs through the witty opening scene: in the exchange of covert glances as Williams comes into a snack bar where Travers is having coffee; in the 'accidental' pawing of her person as he mops the coffee he has spilt; in the over-pitched fury with which she slaps him.
		And Travers' inner struggle, no becoming yes then no again as she realises what she means to her husband, is beautifully detailed in both performance and Gréville's expressionist-tinged direction, which makes it clear that her choice of love is made at the bitter cost of the other thing.

		I wanted the production and costume design to have a realist flavour, in contrast to the other aspects of the visual design; the exception is the sets for the dealer’s flat and the chef’s living-room, which have a more theatrical quality and were planned around the framing requirements of those scenes.
		The Great Ecstasy is not a particularly happy film for the viewers, and in the film art (music in this case) seems to leave Robert indifferent.
		The society of the film is a construction, it is simplified and exaggerated to bring to the surface attitudes lying beneath the surface of our own society.

		Herzog's film begins with a brief slow-motion shoot of a ski-jumper floating through the air, mouth wrenched open, imbibing the experience.
		Herzog states that the genesis of his film was in Steiner's 179-meter jump and subsequent fall at Oberstdorf in 1973.
		The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner is not a fast-food style documentary about a sporting personality, to be viewed once on television and then discarded, nor is it a cinéma-vérité style observational piece, slowly revealing some profound truth.

		Shortly after, she married Austrian munitions magnate Fritz Mandl who attempted to buy up all existing prints of the film, but their divorce put an end to his mission, enabling the film to be released again and again the world over.
		Her autobiography, "Ecstasy and Me" (1966), was a deliberate attempt to revive her notoriety, but in such bad taste that she later sued her ghostwriters for misrepresentation.
		Lamarr's inability to register emotion on camera doomed her film career, but her undeniable good looks allowed her to be a reasonably convincing femme fatale.
