		Not only does the film deal with the racist issues present during the time the film is set (the trial jury is all-white), but the film is told through the eyes of a young girl.
		This film shows how these two friends loved music and were able to escape their fame in order to create and play what they loved.
		Robby Krieger has claimed that the film misrepresents the band, whereas the other two surviving members of the group gave their endorsements by appearing briefly in the film.

		The film’s narrative concerns the separation, by kidnappers, of a mother from her son and daughter who are sold into slavery.
		The film achieves, through their reunion, a remarkable sense of redemption, and throughout their long separation there is a powerful feeling of anger at the cruelty they suffer, as well as an awareness that somehow their relationship is intact despite their ignorance of each others’ fates.
		There is, however, a relationship with the sound of the woman’s vain calling out of her children’s names over the ocean, the sound of her calls transformed into two similar rising phrases heard soon after the opening in the violins (while the viola and cello repeat a semitonal figure derived from the violin fragments).

	The "Altman Owes Us" Campaign Concludes: Quintet
		And that's when I knew how to classify a truly "bad" film: It was a film that was a disaster on all levels but had the notion of being a masterpiece.
		Quintet is like backgammon, I think, except that the loser has to "die" at the end.
		Quintet is expensive, pretentious, horribly written, and is a shame to the Hollywood establishment.

		As the Quintet unfolds, the members of the Arditti Quartet gradually come into view, but rarely is more than one player at a time the focus of a shot.
		It is only within the last two minutes of the film that we begin to see something of the big picture, as the camera pans from one side of the quartet to the other.
		In the film's most arresting sequence a camera slowly pans across a trumpet and its player, mostly out of focus (characteristically, the trumpet is not being sounded at this point).

		Filmed with multiple cameras using chance operations to determine the position, angle, focus and aperture settings of each shot-as well as to determine the editing process-make this a uniquely remarkable performance film.
		The four films by Frank Scheffer and Andrew Culver on this DVD are not only on the subject of John Cage, they're also stylistically influenced by him.
		The films were shown last week at a festival of Cage music and videos at the Anthology Film Archives in the East Village.

		In a frozen post nuclear future, Essex, a seal hunter and former quintet (a confusing board game) player, briefly reunites with his brother and his family, who are promptly killed in an explosion, as is his girlfriend.
		QUINTET is an incoherent, pseudo-Bergmanesque Sci-Fi mess that certainly qualifies as the worst film Director Robert Altman ever perpetrated on an audience!
		After spending most of the film's 110 minutes running time really trying to figure out what the hell was happening, I can't disagree with her.

	Notes on Sam Fox Moving Picture Music
		Several composers had created complete film scores before this time, but the usefulness of this music was limited by its being assigned to a particular picture.
		If this early film music often sounds simple and naïve, that's because it is. The films of 1913 were largely melodramas, westerns, travelogues, and slapstick comedies, and Zamecnik composed music appropriate for those genres.
		My silent film quintet, the Mont Alto Ragtime and Tango Orchestra is currently working on recording some of Zamecnik's later orchestral silent film music.

	The Pianist - The Book, The Movie. Wladyslaw Szpilman - Official Homepage
		The "Palme d’Or", three "Oscars" and various European film prizes were among the awards collected by "The Pianist", Roman Polanski’s film based upon Wladyslaw Szpilman’s bestseller book "The Pianist", dealing with his "miraculous survival" (as he called it) in Warsaw during the German occupation and final destruction between 1938 and 1945.
		Films, if they are resonant enough, have a way of sending people back to their source materials, a phenomenon for which the publishing industry is duly grateful.
		Before Roman Polanski's The Pianist became possibly the best film ever made about the Holocaust, before it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and garnered seven Oscar nominations, this story of the against-all-odds survival of the Jewish musician in German-occupied Poland was a book with an unusual publishing history.

		He decided to return to a conducting and composing career (as opposed to a film conducting and composing career), and moved his home base to London.
		Herrmann's concert works come from those times when he wasn't going full-blast at films – the 30s, early 40s, and the 60s through the early 70s, when the young Turks of France and Hollywood, notably Truffaut, De Palma, and Scorcese, fortunately brought him back.

	Astor Piazzolla: Chronology of a Revolution
		The quintet was Piazzolla’s most beloved formation; the musical synthesis that best expressed his ideas.
		In 1978, the second incarnation of the quintet is born, the one that would make Piazzolla world renowned.
		During a period which lasts until 1990 he does a series of concerts mostly with the quintet, and also as a symphonic solo performer and as a chamber musician; and in his final years with his final group, the sextet, and with string quartets.

	Quintet (1979) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		This film seems almost universally despised, but even its harshest critics note how effective Altman was in creating mood.
		Many, many films deal with the cold war, but they jazz it up and accentuate the "glamour" of the spy game and ignore the futility of the paranoia that raged for 50 years (34 when the film was released), and that is still one of the dominant forces in international politics.
		I believe those who see "Quintet" simply as a film about the next ice age and its favorite board game missed the point that Altman made so convincingly, and with such ability that even those who don't care for "Quintet" can't forget it.

	Like Anna Karina's Sweater
		Yet whereas Hong's film is centered around the efforts of the competing men (including a shifting narrative perspective), Park uses the setup as a means of exploring the often twisted inner workings of her two male characters.
		His impish decision to dedicate his film to Monogram Studios, that epitome of gutter culture, was one of those gestures of reverse snobbery that Clare deplored in the French.
		My films are stories of people who place the blame for their actions on others because they refuse to take on the blame themselves.

	City Pages - Altman's Orphans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The forgotten Altman--the Altman of Quintet and Images and 3 Women (all of which are screening in the Oak Street series)--is the brush-clearer of the interior landscape.
		Upon its release in 1979, Quintet (screening at Oak Street on June 12 and 13) was deemed one of the greatest blunders ever perpetrated by a major director.
		As the fur-swaddled survivors play a win-or-die game called Quintet (conceived, legend has it, as Altman's own variation on his beloved backgammon), they are haunted by enlarged photographs from Expo 67--images of a Vietnamese beggar, a fl woman and her child in the rural South, the terrified gaze of a starving infant.

	THE TROUT
		"A film about how and why five of the most gifted young musicians of their time came together in London in 1969 to rehearse and perform Schubert's famous Trout Quintet.
		The film follows the lives and preparations of the artists during the week leading up to the concert and it ends with the complete performance shot live on stage, during the performance in the new Queen Elizabeth Hall in August 30th.
		From beginning to end the film is an account of supremely gifted young musicians enjoying their talents, their special relationship, and the music of Franz Peter Schubert who wrote his Trout Quintet in the Summer of 1819 when he himself was only 22 years old.

	Quintet (1979)
		As Essex tries to stay alive, he seeks to understand the nature of Quintet in which people’s lives are forfeit when they lose.
		One of the more frustrating things about the film, for instance, is that it never offers us any insight into how the game is played or what its rules are.
		The bleak frozen photography is impressive, although the entire film has been shot as though the cameraman had coated the lens with vaseline.

	Mindjack Film
		But easily the high point this week is Fox's DVD of Two for the Road, a beautiful widescreen film and one of the most emotionally truthful films ever made in America.
		It preceded "The Matrix" by a year (both films used a few of the same sets in Australia), and on a smaller budget, with special effects that owe as much to imagination as to technology, did what "The Matrix" wanted to do, earlier and with more feeling.
		Like this magazine, many of Cronenberg's films are concerned with the blending of technology and society, the organic with the synthetic â” only he deals with these issues in a much more visual and visceral manner.

		As complicated as it was to follow (not to mention mind-numbingly slow, especially for a pair of fourteen year-olds), we sat through the whole thing, convinced that a spaceship and/or giant alien would appear.
		Scouring the net for reviews has yielded a fair amount of hostility towards the film, with more than one review claiming it to be "the worst film ever made".
		Coming between 1978's A Wedding and 1979's A Perfect Couple, Quintet is a film that Filmbrain wants to appreciate, but hasn't been able to (as of yet).

	Untama Giru Film Review - Time Out Film
		The original Untama Giru was an Okinawan Robin Hood; the film's Giru (Kobayashi) is an exploited worker in 1969 who flees into the Untama forest after learning that his boss's adopted daughter is actually a crazed sow in human guise.
		While he teaches himself to levitate, the rest of the island debates what should become of Okinawa when the US (represented by John Sayles as a commissioner who gets off on blood transfusions from monkeys and pigs) hands it back to Japan.

		Jeffs sets her film during the summer of 1972 on a beach somewhere in New Zealand.
		The film's quintet of performances, under Jeffs' astute direction, is flawless, although the men have precious little to do.
		But Peirse is frighteningly believable as a randy, bored woman, and Fulford-Wierzbicki and Murphy are even better as kids left to fend for — and entertain — themselves.

		And because of that, he is not able to get the budgets others can get, or has his films buried in release schedules.
		While it isn't the masterpiece many said it was, it's still a terrific film as well.
		One might expect a Hollywood movie by Altman to follow the lead of such films as SUNSET BOULEVARD and the recent THE BIG PICTURE and have the main character be a stand-in for Altman, a pure soul in a corrupt environment.

		Oct 28, 2005 11:14:46 AM Alas, this was my first Altman experience - also back in college (I am convinced the professor showed the film because it was the cheapest 16mm rental she could get for that week).
		The best criticism of the film I've read - and the most favorable - was a combined review with "Health" in 'Sight and Sound' back in '79 or '80.
		even though i probably saw 90% of his films after a wedding it wasn't until tanner that i thought he once again captured that kind of timeliness he had in (particularly) the early 70s.
