Abstract

Fatty and the Broadway Stars est le titre d’un film de Roscoe Arbuckle de 1915 dont les copies ont été détruites et dont il ne reste qu’une des deux bobines aujourd’hui, parfaitement méconnue. À travers l’histoire de cette « ruine », Marc Vernet propose de reconstituer un « morceau d’histoire du cinéma ». Témoignage des grandes heures du comique muet américain (l’illustre Fatty, véritable star en son temps, fut le maître de Buster Keaton), ce film est aussi un document unique sur la production cinématographique de l’époque, puisqu’il met en scène un tournage, la vie des studios et de leur personnel. Par son enquête minutieuse, et grâce à la reproduction des images retrouvées du film et de divers documents d’archives, cet essai nous convie dans les coulisses d’une œuvre, d’une histoire et d’une industrie.

Abstract

Steven Spielberg: Hollywood Wunderkind and Humanist focuses on the most commercialy successful American director of his generation, from his early career at Universal Television to the Oscar-winning Lincoln (2013). The fourteen chapters deal as much with his major hits as with films that have received little critical attention like The Sugarland Express (1974), 1941 (1979) and The Terminal (2004). They address questions of ethics, ideology and identity politics recognized as central to the director’s œuvre, while seeking to make up for the lack of material on the films’ formal qualities and on the notable contributions they have made to classical Hollywood genres such as horror, science fiction and the war movie. This book contests the idea that Spielberg is a “naïve” director, a mere craftsman with an eye for composition and a natural talent for narrative economy. Instead, the book aims to foreground the work’s cohesion, its influences and self-consciousness, its steadfast inscription within the Western humanist tradition, and its resolve to engage with the contemporary and explore complex ethical issues through mainstream narratives, whether “serious” Oscar contenders or action-filled popcorn blockbusters, a dichotomy Spielberg has increasingly sought to blur.

Abstract

American film directors from the late 1930s to the early 1960s instigated a renaissance of original artistic works that helped reinvigorate and renew American culture. During a time of unprecedented danger from anti-democratic forces both abroad and at home, the most imaginative and creative films of these directors - John Ford, Frank Capra, Howard Hawks, Fred Zinnemann, Elia Kazan, George Stevens - articulated issues, themes, and realities at the core of the American experience. In this lively and original book, Sam Girgus offers a fresh look at films such as The Searchers, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It's a Wonderful Life, High Noon, and On the Waterfront. He shows how these films are part of the cultural and historic debate that examines, structures, and questions what modern America means to its people, the world, and history.
