Résumé:
The notion of landscape is a complex one, but it has been central to the art and artistry of the cinema. After all, what is the French New Wave without Paris? What are the films of Sidney Lumet, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, and Spike Lee without New York? Cinema and Landscape frames contemporary film landscapes across the world, in an exploration of screen aesthetics and national ideology, film form and cultural geography, cinematic representation and the human environment. This volume both extends the existing field of film studies and stakes claims to overlapping, contested territories in the humanities and social sciences.

Résumé:
This publication illuminates the dynamic relationship between the visual media, particularly film and theater, and the planning and development of cities in China and Taiwan, from the emergence of the People’s Republic in 1949 to the staging of the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Yomi Braester argues that the transformation of Chinese cities in recent decades is a result not only of China’s abandonment of Maoist economic planning in favor of capitalist globalization but also of a shift in visual practices. Rather than simply reflect urban culture, movies and stage dramas have facilitated the development of new perceptions of space and time, representing the future city variously as an ideal socialist city, a metropolis integrated into the global economy, and a site for preserving cultural heritage. Drawing on extensive archival research, interviews with leading filmmakers and urban planners, and close readings of scripts and images, Braester describes how films and stage plays have promoted and opposed official urban plans and policies as they have addressed issues such as demolition-and-relocation plans, the preservation of vernacular architecture, and the global real estate market. He shows how the cinematic rewriting of historical narratives has accompanied the spatial reorganization of specific urban sites, including Nanjing Road in Shanghai; veterans’ villages in Taipei; and Tiananmen Square, centuries-old courtyards, and postmodern architectural landmarks in Beijing.

Si le livre reproduit les objets, souvenirs, photogrammes des films rassemblés dans l’exposition que la Cinémathèque française consacre au cinéaste, il est, au-delà d’un catalogue, une création graphique, un objet ludique qui réussit à restituer l’esprit et la fantaisie si singulière de Tati.

Résumé:
Le 28 juillet 1958, le cinéaste Alain Resnais partait au Japon tourner l'essentiel de ce qui allait devenir un film mythique de l'histoire du cinéma : Hiroshima mon amour. C'est son premier long-métrage et le premier scénario de l'écrivain Marguerite Duras. Le cinquantième anniversaire de ce tournage historique est l'occasion de proposer un regard nouveau sur ce film à travers des textes de Chihiro Minato, Marie-Christine de Navacelle, Dominique Noguez, et aussi d'un entretien avec Emmanuelle Riva. 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.

Résumé:
Marc Augé was eleven or twelve years old when he first saw Casablanca. The film-with its recurring scenes of waiting, menace, and flight-occupies a significant place in Augé's own memory of his uprooted childhood and the wartime exploits of his family. Seamlessly weaving together film criticism and memoir, Casablanca moves between Augé's insights into the filmgoing experience and his reflections on his own life, the collective trauma of France's wartime history, and how such events as the fall of Paris, the exodus of refugees, and the Occupation-all depicted in the film-were lived and are remembered.
