Le péplum est un cinéma de mauvais genre. Il raconte des histoires qui se déroulent en des temps mythiques ou lointains. Il chante les exploits de héros bodybuildés et d'héroïnes chastement dévêtues. Genre populaire et familial, il est obligé de tortiller de la caméra pour raconter les amours bibliques, les orgies romaines, les empereurs fous et les impératrices lubriques - sans choquer personne mais quand même. Et pourtant, souvent faits avec trois francs six sous, tournés à la va-vite dans des décors de carton-pâte, troussant la muse de l'Histoire pour en montrer les dessous affriolants, ces films révèlent une autre Antiquité, sortie des manuels poussiéreux. Une Antiquité en technicolor et en relief, une Antiquité doublement vivante : à la fois parce qu'elle illustre nos fantasmes et parce qu'en voulant raconter le passé, elle nous parle en fait du présent.

"In the first four decades of cinema, hundreds of films were made that drew their inspiration from ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Bible. Few of these films have been studied, and even fewer have received the critical attention they deserve. The films in question, ranging from historical and mythological epics to adaptations of ancient drama, burlesques, cartoons and documentaries, suggest a fascination with the ancient world that competes in intensity and breadth with that of Hollywood's classical era. What contribution did antiquity make to the development of early cinema? How did early cinema's representations affect modern understanding of antiquity? Existing prints as well as ephemera scattered in film archives and libraries around the world constitute an enormous field of research. This extensively illustrated edited collection is a first systematic attempt to focus on the instrumental role of silent cinema in twentieth-century conceptions of the ancient Mediterranean and Middle East"--

More than a century ago, filmmakers made their primary focus innovative and widely promulgated visions of antiquity, creating a profound effect on the critical, popular, and scholarly reception of antiquity. In this volume, scholars from a variety of countries and varying academic disciplines have addressed film’s way of using the field of Classical Reception to investigate, contemplate, and develop hypotheses about present-day culture, society, and politics, with a particular emphasis on gender and gender roles, their relationship to one another, and how filmic constructions of masculinity and femininity shape and are shaped by interacting economic, political, and ideological practices.

Clair, ludique et concis, ce Guide de l'Antiquité imaginaire livre une indispensable réflexion sur l'usage de la fiction à l'antique, depuis le début du XIX siècle, et un commode mode d'emploi pour exploiter les ressources actuelles et disponibles de cette fiction. Ont été ainsi recensés et commentés près d'un millier de titres de romans, de films et de BD. Il était temps de montrer que le sérieux universitaire n'est pas incompatible avec l'apparente fantaisie du roman historique, du cinéma ou de la bande dessinée. Et que la réalité ne peut se passer du rêve. De l'Atlantide à Byzance, en passant par Thèbes, Jérusalem, Athènes et Rome. Claude Aziza s'est intéressé à toutes les formes, littéraires et artistiques, de la fiction sur l'Antiquité.

This book presents the first systematic appreciation of Ovid's extensive influence on, and affinity with, modern visual culture. Some topics are directly related to Ovid; others exhibit features, characters, or themes analogous to those in his works. The book demonstrates the wide-ranging ramifications that Ovidian archetypes, especially from the Metamorphoses, have provoked in a modern artistic medium that did not exist in Ovid's time. It ranges from the earliest days of film history (Georges Méliès's discovery of screen metamorphosis) and theory (Gabriele D'Annunzio's fascination with the metamorphosis of Daphne; Sergei Eisenstein's concept of film sense) through silent films, classic sound films, commercial cinema, art-house and independent films to modernism and the C.G.I. era. Films by well-known directors, including Ingmar Bergman, Walerian Borowczyk, Jean Cocteau, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Fritz Lang, Max Ophuls, Alain Resnais, and various others, are analyzed in detail.
