Topic: Romance (1930 film)


  
  romance - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about romance
There were Arthurian romances about the legendary King Arthur and his knights (for example, English writer Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur), and romances based on the adventures of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne along with a number of romances concerned spiritually with the adventures of English heroes such as Richard Coeur de Lion (Richard Lionheart).
During the 17th and 18th centuries, with the rise of realism in the novel, the romance began to be considered a less serious and more frivolous genre, so that in the 20th century the term ‘romantic novel’ is often used disparagingly, to imply a contrast with a realist novel.
According to his idea, a romance is born in a manner that is, in some sort, necessary, with all its chapters; a drama is born with all its scenes.

If the austerity of the times and the frugality of theater owners was not enough to keep movie posters out of the hands of the general public, the sweeping paper drives of the war years also did their part to help keep movie memorabilia out of general circulation.
For many landmark films of the era (e.g., “The Grapes of Wrath”, “Stagecoach”, “The Wizard of Oz”, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, “Fury”, “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, “Flash Gordon”) it is believed that less than a dozen examples have survived of any particular poster.
For other major releases, the studios often produced several different styles of one-sheet for the same film, one to showcase the action-packed elements of the movie and the other to exploit the romance angle, in hopes of luring a broad cross-section of patrons into the movie theater.

This film is similar in spirit to Clair’s earlier film Sous les toit de Paris (1930), with its free-flowing narrative and idealised portrayal of ordinary life in Paris.
Despite its marriage of the romance of Jean and Anna to stirring national history, the film is utterly lacking in self-importance or patriotic rhetoric.
Perhaps the film's most electrifying composition — it's certainly the most dramatic — is a long shot of Anna at night in the lit doorway of the establishment where she works, feeling abandoned once again by Jean.

 Kiyohiko Ushihara's Shingun (Marching On) by William M. Drew
Kiyohiko Ushihara's 1930 silent film, Shingun or Marching On, released in the 1990s on VHS tape by the original producing company, Shochiku, is a rare example of a truly large-scale production from Japan's silent cinema and remains a powerful, engrossing film.
The war itself is first introduced suddenly midway in the film with a close-up of ringing bells succeeded by shots of soldiers on the march, newspaper headlines, a battleship, and a patriotic crowd that includes the hero's parents waving the flag of the Rising Sun.
The result is a two-hour film produced on a far more massive scale than most Japanese silents which, for all their artistry and technical sophistication, were usually more economically made than many American and European films of the same era.

 Being Julia movie review, In Film Australia
The film, directed by Hungary born filmmaker István Szabó, was adapted from a novella by author W. Somerset Maugham and is loosely based around a mid-life crisis that propels Julia to seek alternative fulfilment.
Thus the film is about the stage, about putting on faces and masking problems, about pride and vanity and managing abrasive behaviour inside of a ruthless revolving door industry.
Ultimately this is a gentle lightweight film that settles on entertainment value as its essence, and with that comes all the trappings of its setting: the glossy decor and polished culture of 30's upper-class England.

Film writers and directors resorted to mere suggestion, doing their best to subvert the Hays Code by writing sexuality into their stories.
Since the heart of the screwball comedy was usually romance and lust, it had to be handled with double entendre and euphemism.

Privately financed by the Vicomte de Noailles, the film's release was delayed for two years due to the scandal that surrounded another 1930 Noailles production, Dali and Bunuel's "L'Age d'or", which was denounced as "sacrilegious" when first screened.
In 1950 Cocteau made the film for which he is perhaps best known, "Orpheus", again starring Marais, this time as a young poet beset by artistic and romantic rivals.
Attacked in some quarters as being too mannered and occasionally pretentious (a charge that followed Cocteau throughout his career), the film is on the whole a successful blend of the real and the fantastic, "a realistic document of unrealistic events," as Cocteau had termed "Blood of a Poet" many years earlier.
