The Criterion Collection: Through a Glass Darkly The first part of a trilogy completed by Winter Light (1962) and The Silence (1963), Through a Glass Darkly offers novices the advantage of being among the director’s most representative works. Yet, to a previous generation, Bergman was the real deal——a stringently ascetic artist who didn’t just use the film medium as an instrument of personal catharsis, but seemed to suffer Christ-like on the viewer’s behalf. Given the tendency of recent imports such as Amores Perros and Amélie to guarantee a rollercoaster ride for your money, it’s almost poignant that the slow, ponderous rhythms of Through a Glass Darkly should have been sanctified by an Oscar for best foreign film. www.criterionco.com /asp/release.asp?id=209&eid=322§ion=essay&page=2   (8 words)

DVD Verdict Review - Bob Le Flambeur: Criterion Collection He made several key French underworld films that starred some of the top French actors of the 1960s—Jean-Paul Belmondo in Le Doulos (1963) and Alain Delon in Le Samourai (1967). Bob Le Flambeur is an influential French film of the mid-1950s that delivers on all counts—style, atmosphere, engaging characters, snappy dialogue—and all filmed against the gloriously unmistakable sights and sounds of Paris. Rififi to hear that Auguste Le Breton is around in Bob Le Flambeur to provide more of the smart dialogue that was such a key element of the latter film. www.dvdverdict.com /reviews/bobleflambeur.shtml   (1535 words)

Voyager: In Depth: The Man Who Fell to Earth The Man Who Fell to Earth is a serious film that runs to garishness, a cerebral film flooded with emotion, in which plot counts less than picture and event less than essence, silence carries as much weight as speech, and much remains intentionally unexplained. In The Man Who Fell to Earth, adapted from a 1963 novel by Walter Tevis (who also wrote The Hustler), the director is at his most flamboyantly fractured. This is the first uncut, widescreen presentation of the film on any home video format in the United States. chaumurky.net /criterion/indepth-154.html   (1535 words)

Global Dialogues: Recent Films From Holland > Last Words-My Sister Yoka (1935-1997) In the four shorts, van der Keuken extrapolates vivid inner worlds from the prosaic exterior life of a jazz musician (Big Ben: Ben Webster in Europe, 1967), a blind teenager (Herman Slobbe: Blind Child 2), a 10-year-old girl (Beppie, 1965), and even a city (A Moment of Silence, 1963). The choice of Johan van der Keuken to receive this year's Persistence of Vision Award is a welcome one, but also an unfortunate reminder of how marginalized experimental film has always been. In 1999 van der Keuken was awarded the Persistence of Vision prize at the San Francisco International Film Festival. www.reddiaper.com /Global/sister.htm   (433 words)

Director Ingmar Bergman himself is the biggest international celebrity in the history of Swedish cinema. www.sweden.se /templates/PrinterFriendlyFactSheet.asp?id=3126   (799 words)

Harper Lee Life Stories, Books, & Links Offers a Harper Lee biography, a reference list of people places and things mentioned in her Pulitzer Prize winning novel, information about the cast and making of the 1963 Academy Award winning film starring Gregory Peck, and links to sites about Monroeville, Alabama-- Lee's place of birth and inspiration for Maycomb. After the immediate and overwhelming success of To Kill a Mockingbird (1960), and despite forecasting more, Lee is known to have published only three short magazine articles since, all in the 60s; nor has she broken the silence and anonymity into which she quickly retreated. On this day in 1926 Harper Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama. todayinliterature.com /biography/harper.lee.asp   (298 words)

Las Vegas Mercury: The Agronomist So ahead of his upcoming reworking of John Frankenheimer's classic, 1962 adaptation of Richard Condon's alarmingly prescient assassination thriller The Manchurian Candidate, there's every reason for moviegoers to be wary of the latest excess by the Silence of the Lambs Oscar-winner. Jonathan Demme made a cinematic dog's dinner out of Stanley Donen's charming, 1963 Cary Grant/Audrey Hepburn mystery Charade with his dismal 2002 remake The Truth About Charlie. Like some worshipper at a voodoo ceremony--the film includes archive footage of revelers enjoying mud baths and the sparkling waterfall at Saut d'Eau, Haiti's Woodstock-style voodoo festival--Demme seems totally mesmerized by Dominique's hypnotic, declamatory but painfully slow verbal delivery. www.lasvegasmercury.com /2004/MERC-Jun-17-Thu-2004/24112497.html   (298 words)
