Abstract

La 4eme de couverture indique : "Nombre de films s'attachent à représenter la famille, la vie de famille, les conflits familiaux, soit que la question familiale constitue l'intrigue centrale, soit qu'à travers une autre intrigue, puissent être recueillis des éléments relatifs à la famille des personnages. Par un processus de visionnage sans a priori et grâce à une analyse multi critères (juridique, historique, esthétique, littéraire, philosophique, sociologique...), une équipe pluridisciplinaire et internationale a articulé des éléments du droit de la famille et des films d'époques et de genres différents. Ainsi, d'un même thème juridique présent dans plusieurs oeuvres cinématographiques, des regards complémentaires ont été posés sur la famille, considérée par le doyen Carbonnier comme l'un des trois piliers de la société, à côté du contrat et de la propriété. Diverses thématiques, parmi lesquelles celles du mariage, du divorce, des familles en crise, de la filiation, de la figure du père, de l'absence de famille ou encore des communautés comme familles de substitution, ont été explorées. Dans tous ces films, des éléments juridiques apparaissent en filigrane, même si, tout comme en droit, la famille toujours évoquée n'est jamais clairement définie. Les contributions, associées aux images, permettent d'illustrer cette diversité et de relativiser l'ampleur d'une hypothétique crise de la famille, l'histoire, le droit et le cinéma nous en révélant sa mutation institutionnelle permanente"

Abstract

Acclaimed for their breakthrough approach, Bordwell, Staiger and Thompson analyze the basic conditions of American film-making as a historical institution and consider to what extent Hollywood film production constitutes a systematic enterprise, in both its style and its business operations. Despite differences of director, genre or studio, most Hollywood films operate within a set of shared assumptions about how a film should look and sound. Such assumptions are neither natural nor inevitable; but because classical-style films have been the type most widely seen, they have come to be accepted as the 'norm' of film-making and viewing. The authors show how these classical conventions were formulated and standardized, and how they responded to the arrival of sound, colour, widescreen ratios and stereophonic sound. They argue that each new technological development has served a function within an existing narrational system. The authors also examine how the Hollywood cinema standardized the film-making process itself. They describe how, over the course of its history, Hollywood developed distinct modes of production in a constant search for maximum efficiency, predictability and novelty. Set apart by its combination of theoretical analysis and empirical evidence, this book is the standard work on the classical Hollywood cinema style of film-making from the silent era to the 1960s.

Abstract

This short handbook collects essays on all aspects of the motion picture industry by leading authorities in political economy, economics, accounting, finance, and marketing. In addition to offering the reader a perspective on what is known and what has been accomplished, it includes both new findings on a variety of topics and directions for additional research. Topics include estimation of theatrical and ancillary demand, profitability studies, the resolution of evident paradoxes in studio executive behavior, the interaction of the industry and government, the impacts of the most recent changes in accounting standards, and the role and importance of participation contracts. New results include findings on the true nature of the seasonality of theatrical demand, the predictive power of surveys based upon trailers, the impact of the Academy Awards, the effectiveness of prior history measures to gauge cast members and directors, and the substitutability of movies across different genres.

Abstract

The Films of Roberto Rossellini traces the career of one of the most influential Italian filmmakers through close analysis of the seven films that mark important turning points in his evolution: The Man with a Cross (1943), Open City (1945), Paisan (1946), The Machine to Kill Bad People (1948-52), Voyage in Italy (1953), General della Rovere (1959) and The Rise to Power of Louis XIV (1966). Beginning with Rossellini's work within the fascist cinema, it discusses his invention of neorealism, a new cinematic style that resulted in several classics during the immediate postwar period. Almost immediately, however, Rossellini's continually evolving style moved beyond mere social realism to reveal other aspects of the camera's gaze, as is apparent in the films he made with Ingrid Bergman during the 1950s; though unpopular, these works had a tremendous impact on the French New Wave critics and directors. Rossellini's late career marks a return to his nonrealist period, now critically reexamined, in such works as the commercially successful General della Rovere, and his eventual turn to the creation of didactic films for television.

Abstract

Entre 1946 et 1967, la rubrique hebdomadaire de courriers des lecteurs du magazine Cinémonde est le lieu d'expression d'un lectorat jeune, populaire et majoritairement féminin qui utilise le cinéma pour discuter de ses goûts et de ses aspirations. Le cinéma en France après la Libération devient le loisir favori de la jeunesse populaire, et les magazines spécialisés, comme Cinémonde, le plus diffusé d'entre eux, proposent un courrier des lecteurs et lectrices qui, au-delà de sa fonction de fidélisation, construit au cours des années 1950 une communauté de fans cimentée par le goût des acteurs et actrices et l'amour des films comme leçons de vie. Cet ouvrage propose une exploration sur 20 ans de la rubrique hebdomadaire de Cinémonde, intitulée " Potinons ", son évolution au cours de ces deux décennies, sa composition sociologique et genrée, le parcours de quelques " potineuses " et " potineurs ", une analyse des préférences cinéphiliques des courriéristes, très majoritairement féminines, et la réception de quelques films français et hollywoodiens des années 1950 qui ont fait date pour ce public jeune et populaire, et enfin la rencontre avec la Nouvelle Vague au tournant des années 1960.Cette rubrique se révèle en particulier une source sans équivalent pour documenter des formes de cinéphilie féminine et leurs spécificités par rapport à la cinéphilie dominante, quasi exclusivement masculine à l'époque.
