Summary:
The contributors to this volume trace cinema in Iceland from the 1979 establishment of the Icelandic Film Fund — before which the country’s film industry barely existed — through today. In a series of scene reviews, they show how rapidly the city has changed over the past thirty years. In thematic spotlight articles, they go on to explore such topics as the relationship between Iceland and its capital city; youth culture and night life; the relationship between film and the local music community; cinematic representations of Scandinavian crime; and filmmakers’ response to the 2008 banking crisis. Together, these varied contributions show how films shot in Reykjavík have been shaped both by Iceland’s remoteness from the rest of the world and by Icelandic filmmakers’ sense that the city remains forever on the brink of desolate and harsh wilderness.

Peut-être est-ce parce que la ruine, telle qu'elle s'incarne au cinéma, que ce soit comme décombres de guerre ou vestiges antiques, chantier désaffecté ou lambeau de pellicule rescapé, exacerbe ce lien mélancolique, quasi ontologique, qui nous attache au temps et à la mémoire du cinéma (c'est-à-dire, comme le dirait Daney, à " la promesse d'un monde "): présence d'une absence, insaisissable trop tard, toujours-déjà passé, en train de disparaître. Ce brillant essai s'intéresse ainsi à décrire ces moments de cinéma où le temps, sous diverses modalités, apparaît de manière sensible, en tant qu'expérience. Ces pages décrivent moins une histoire en bonne et due forme de la ruine au cinéma, qu'un parcours subjectif de fragments disparates qui constitue un programme possible et très partiel de cet attrait.

Summary:
Hollywood Cinema and the Real Los Angeles traces the interaction of the real city, its movie business, and filmed image, focusing on the crucial period from the construction of the first studios in the 1910s to the decline of the studio system fifty years later. As Los Angeles gradually became one of the ten largest cities in the world, the film industry made key contributions to its rapid growth and frequent crises in economic, social, political and cultural life. Whether filmmakers engaged with the real city on location or recreated it on a studio set, Los Angeles shaped the films that were made there and circulated influentially worldwide. The book pays particular attention to early cinema, slapstick comedy, movies about the movies and film noir, which are each explored in new ways, with an emphasis on urban and architectural space and its representation, as well as filmmaking style and technique.

Un remarquable ensemble de photographies, qu'elle a prises avant le tournage, de la ville d'Hiroshima, de ses habitants et surtout de ses enfants, est présenté pour la première fois. Ces images exceptionnelles éclairent le film comme elles éclairent la résurrection, treize ans après le drame du 6 août 1945, de la première ville frappée par la bombe atomique.
