In Hollywood 1938, Catherine Jurca brings to light a tumultuous year of crisis that has been neglected in histories of the studio era. With attendance in decline, negative publicity about stars that were ""poison at the box office,"" and a spate of bad films, industry executives decided that the public was fed up with the movies. Jurca describes their desperate attempt to win back audiences by launching Motion Pictures' Greatest Year, a massive, and unsuccessful, public relations campaign conducted in theaters and newspapers across North America. Drawing on the records of studio personn

À partir des archives de la Triangle Film Corporation, Marc Vernet retrace ici l’histoire courte et mouvementée de cette firme pionnière du cinéma hollywoodien et, à travers elle, des premières implantations de studios dans la région de Los Angeles au cours de la seconde moitié des années 1910. Il décrit les mutations décisives qui ont lieu dans un temps où le 7e est en train de s’inventer et de s’établir : course à l’indépendance, passage de l’Est à l’Ouest, du court au long métrage, des entreprises locales aux stratégies nationales, de la lumière naturelle à l’éclairage artificiel, du prestige européen à l’américanisation du cinéma... Illustré par des documents d’exception, cet ouvrage démêle les logiques dynamiques au cœur de la création de Hollywood, dans un contexte économique de forte croissance, et politique d’une grande instabilité. Des années décisives pour l’art cinématographique, qui connaîtront l’émergence de stars prenant leur carrière en main, ainsi qu’une très vive concurrence opposant non seulement producteurs, distributeurs et exploitants, mais également les grands du moment : Griffith, Ince, Sennett, DeMille...

n the 1940s, American movies changed. Flashbacks began to be used in outrageous, unpredictable ways. Soundtracks flaunted voice-over commentary, and characters might pivot from a scene to address the viewer. Incidents were replayed from different characters’ viewpoints, and sometimes those versions proved to be false. Films now plunged viewers into characters’ memories, dreams, and hallucinations. Some films didn’t have protagonists, while others centered on anti-heroes or psychopaths. Women might be on the verge of madness, and neurotic heroes lurched into violent confrontations. Combining many of these ingredients, a new genre emerged—the psychological thriller, populated by women in peril and innocent bystanders targeted for death. If this sounds like today’s cinema, that’s because it is. In Reinventing Hollywood, David Bordwell examines the full range and depth of trends that crystallized into traditions. He shows how the Christopher Nolans and Quentin Tarantinos of today owe an immense debt to the dynamic, occasionally delirious narrative experiments of the Forties. Through in-depth analyses of films both famous and virtually unknown, from Our Town and All About Eve to Swell Guy and The Guilt of Janet Ames, Bordwell assesses the era’s unique achievements and its legacy for future filmmakers. Reinventing Hollywood is a groundbreaking study of how Hollywood storytelling became a more complex art and essential reading for lovers of popular cinema.
