	glbtq >> arts >> Bartel, Paul
		That Bartel was openly gay was not the issue in the independent film world that it would have been in mainstream film, which has so much more invested culturally and economically in the heterosexuality of its interpreters.
		Born in Brooklyn on August 6, 1938, Bartel was the classic future filmmaker, creating marionette shows at the age of five, discovering movies and directors as a teenager, and by sixteen shooting his own animated shorts.
		Bartel's ultimate importance may lie less in his directorial efforts, which are variable in quality, than in his unwavering presence as an inspiring figure in the independent film world, particularly to queer filmmakers, an image reinforced by his genial, bear-like demeanor and eagerness to help struggling young auteurs.

	CANNONBALL - DVD
		On paper, Cannonball is a no-brainer, with the thought of re-teaming Death Race 2000 director Paul Bartel and star David Carradine looking as tantalizing as it does obvious--the gravitas of the latter having so successfully anchored the satirical jabs of the former.
		Bartel meanwhile walks off with his few scenes as brother Benny's mob nemesis, naturally casting himself as a debauched sophisticate who writes Cole Porter-esque ditties--one hilarious scene has him singing a number called "I'm Sorry" as his thugs beat up on poor Benny.
		Among the secrets revealed are Paul Bartel's annoyance at being typed as an action director after Death Race 2000; both Carradine and Woronov make no bones about either Bartel's frustration at the hands of cheapskate Corman or his benefactor's insistence that he return to the car genre.

	Biography for Paul Bartel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Paul Bartel was born in Brooklyn in 1938.
		His directorial debut, the peculiar and disturbing Private Parts (1972), flopped miserably, and Bartel cast his lot with independent producer Roger Corman, for whom he acted, shot second unit (on 1974's Big Bad Mama and eventually directed Death Race 2000 (1975) and Cannonball (1976).
		Raoul was surprisingly successful, for such an offbeat subject, and led to talk of a yet-unrealized sequel to be titled Bland Ambition But Bartel's subsequent films, as director, haven't been nearly as profitable (or well-received): Not for Publication (1984), Lust in the Dust (1985), The Longshot (1986).

		However, not everyone likes the Death Race, and revolutionary leader Thomasina Paine (Harriet Medin) wants to sabotage the event in the name of restoring democracy; her plan is to foil Frankenstein's expected victory by smuggling her daughter Annie (Simone Griffeth) into Frankenstein's race car as his navigator.
		Ever hear someone say while driving their car, that the old lady crossing the street up ahead is atleast 500 points and then someone begs to differ saying she is only worth 200.

		JUST ABOUT EVERY obit for Paul Bartel listed the same remark about his backward way of falling into filmmaking: "When I got into directing, I knew I'd be able to give myself some great character parts," he once said.
		But Bartel the director was a different matter; his films are unforgiving in their satire--funny, but lacerating.
		It's this lack of empathy that kept Bartel from being as great an Artist as his closest comparison, John Waters--but it also gives Bartel's films an elegance that Waters' lack.

	DVD.net : Eating Raoul - DVD Review
		Paul Bartel's fl comedy, Eating Raoul, is another film that could really do with a good DVD edition.
		I'd seen it several times when one of the networks filled a gap in their late-late-late night slots, and it's a great example of American farce done right (and farce it be, sirrah - virtually every male character here is a wannabe rapist, which I'm almost positive isn't true in real life...).
		Bartel stars as Paul Bland, a wine enthusiast who, together with his wife Mary (Mary Woronov, of Andy Warhol's Factory), dreams of opening a restaurant.
