What Westerners defend Libya.

Libya: the U.S. wants to outsource an intervention too risky.

If it appears obvious that the United States rely on the overthrow of Gadhafi of Libya to bring under American influence, their failures in Afghanistan and Iraq do not allow them to use the intervention direct military. Therefore, to "pull the chestnuts out of fire," the Americans are all for the "dirty work" is done by allies, and particularly by France, whose humanitarian intervention next is complex: how could it take place without military protection concurrently?

And found - in Washington - the same speech, the same arguments, the same procedure above, who is to obtain the consent of the international community and its institutions. There is talk of a dictator. It is about his actions. It is about his dangerousness, especially for his people. It is about to drop for reasons of morality and ethics. Who do we talk? Saddam Hussein ... ? Not at all since it is Muammar Gaddafi who is remembered, in passing, he financed and helped many international terrorism in the old days thing, however, he had been forgiven long ago, U.S. absolution being motivated by the prospect of achieving (finally?) some good deals in Libya.

Yet something has changed, despite the apparent similarity.

It concerns, and acting out , and effective treatment of the situation on the ground .

Obama administration, unlike its predecessors - that of father and son Bush in particular - benefit of historical hindsight and therefore learn from the disastrous military intervention in Iraq. It also is embroiled in a dispute not solved and Afghanistan still faces an uncertain economic situation - because of instability of the dollar and abyss of its budget and trade deficits - lessening its ability to finance new adventures soldiers at risk. All good reasons, therefore, to "pass the chore to others, while trying to pull the chestnuts out of fire, if necessary.

Explanation.

On one stone: outsource to the "Allies" external interventions at risk, ousting the French interests in Libya.

Iraqi
The result is still fresh in their heads to Washington for trying to take direct control over Iraq - as a space + basement strategic oil - by invading and then to military occupation, the United States faced an insurgency unforeseen has become increasingly widespread and they could not overcome despite deployment of forces (and dollars) than a result.

Therefore, considering an analogous situation, that of a country "interesting" because of its geographical position and the riches of his basement, but the people and shows demonstrable ability insurgency, should be maintained the goal, but to change the maneuver. Why put under American influence in Libya must result from an indirect approach, that is to say an ability to influence and condition the minds to make them act according to goal and to reach without the extreme military violence is necessarily used.

This influence comes in three levels.

The first level concerns Qaddafi himself - " We will maintain pressure on Gaddafi until he resigns and allows the Libyan people to express themselves freely to determine their future " said Susan Rice - Permanent Representative of the United States at the UN - worth about programs. Just want the U.S.? The departure of the Leader of the Revolution in the first instance, substituting a power " Democratic-fed milk democratic values such as Washington understands them, that is to say, reflecting a cultural and political vision Anglo-Saxon and particularly pro-American. In this regard, the recent statement by the spokesman for the White House illustrates the point: "We actively contacts with those working in Libya to establish a government that respects the rights of the Libyan people. "Reading between the lines, this means that Washington is preparing to organize and assist in every way possible, opposition to Gaddafi to facilitate a takeover by the latter. This assistance will include, First, to flee the dictator. How? By making him afraid, why Washington concentrated either naval group near the Libyan coast, one with a naval force capable of conducting operations " Air Dominance" - that ie air superiority to control the Libyan airspace to prevent aerial bombardment of the insurrection by anti-Gaddafi Aviation Master of Tripoli - including one that shows how to conduct amphibious operations capable of landing troops to land, "Marines "Here.

The second level concerns the Europeans and NATO - to avoid attracting too much attention should be forward masked. Washington does not want to seem to mind one of the Libyan business. Nothing like to deceive international public opinion to share burdens and responsibilities of the operation control of the airspace with other, knowing that we define the roles, procedures and strategies. To do this, NATO is the ideal platform. The Alliance brings together the strengths of many nations. But ... the U.S. can get many things from their partners, even outside NATO, if necessary, and we think the British are always ready to render service as they did in Iraq.

The third level concerns the French - for several years, Americans lead the whole continent of operations to oust the French positions and locations, be they political, military and / or economic. Clearly, the U.S. wants to turn France and take his place. Pierre Pean, in his book Carnage . The secret wars of the great powers in Africa, made the perfect demonstration, highlighting, with the case of Rwanda but also in explaining what happened in Zaire, Americans for the acts to destabilize the French interests in particular by way of discrediting and Indictments of complicity in genocide. More recently, the dumping of criticism about the procrastination of the French diplomacy in relation to events in Tunisia and Egypt attended the same pattern, especially as many voices were raised to congratulate top U.S. diplomat for encouraging people to free themselves as having had a "real" dialogue with the opposition to Ben Ali and Mubarak. This logic to challenge the French zone of influence also applies to Libya, collected by the U.S. as a (too) large customer and consumer of French weapons systems and as a too big oil exporter to Europe. To change this, it should put the French in difficulty. To achieve this, two methods:

1 - urging them to act militarily on the ground just taken their responsibility in this area of influence that sought to deprive them.

2 - insist on the humanitarian catastrophe now taking place in Libya because of the influx of refugees on its borders. And ... it works.

Sarkozy and Fillon swallow the bait and put a slippery slope.

This pressure therefore produces results.

To realize this, one must bear in mind the words of François Fillon at the microphone Monday RTL it. The Prime Minister said two things. First, that France was putting up a massive humanitarian operation, it knows a beginning execution with the dispatch of two aircraft carrying medical personnel and equipment to be delivered until Benghazi. Then, several options were - and not "would " - in the study. Among them there are, of course, possible action on Libyan air space, which corresponds to a flight ban over Libya. But there are also envisaged "(...) all solutions to ensure that Colonel Qaddafi understands he has to go. (...) I know that evokes military solutions, these solutions are evaluated by the government French .

This last point is crucial. Because the concept of a military solution in the plural is a global net that includes all options, including the use of the land force projection and deployment on Libyan soil.

What amply satisfy Washington.

When Juppe pretends to believe that we can deploy massive "humanitarian" without protection.

Some might argue that this Tuesday, March 1, Alain Juppe, interviewed on the evening news 20 hours TF1 excluded - a priori - any military action, including any action which would not be debated and mandated by the UN.

Yes, probably, but ...

Except it will have to explain how we will organize a massive humanitarian operation - and thus deploy massively personnel and unarmed civilians - in the middle of a country plagued by insurrection, instability and chaos, without asking, and treat the issue of protection of the device?

After all, Mrs. Clinton Has not said " In the coming years, Libya can become a peaceful democracy or face a war civil or descend into chaos. ? The risk is obvious. It comes from Qaddafi's thugs. It also comes from turnovers, and caprices movements of crowds one day can cheer the humanitarian and the other to devote to public obloquy and especially want to plunder their equipment, food, etc.. This kind of events took place repeatedly, especially in Somalia in the mid-1990s.

The problem therefore does not suffer any challenge: the French will find themselves in an area where they can be exposed and will raise the issue of their protection. We see incorrectly set by the Libyan authorities "interim" from the insurgency and whose organizational skills and military are blurred. Therefore, an armed presence on site is an assumption more than serious.

So when Alain Juppe excludes any French military intervention in Libya, he ignores (presumably forgetting his former capacity as Minister of Defence) that the massive presence of humanitarian amid chaos politics as violence prevails, and correspondingly imperative, the presence of a security force. He pretends to ignore that if the humanitarian presence is French, it is unclear how the security could not but be at least partly French ...

Ultimately, the humanitarian involvement of France in Libya - sought by Sarkozy - carries within it the seeds of its future military involvement that is to say its discredit in the eyes of the people, hope that all ultimate goal cherished by Washington.

Remembering the past and its lessons: "Working for the King of Prussia."

This leads us to remember the War of Austrian Succession and its conclusion: it only benefits King of Prussia at the time - Frederick II - who drew only, chestnuts from the fire, receiving, by way of annexation of territory, the effects of a strong French military intervention in human and financial cost for the kingdom of Louis XV who, himself, did not profit anything.

attributed to Voltaire's phrase " work for the King of Prussia " evoking, in the mocking, the external intervention without any consideration for the kingdom of France, nor in terms of territorial or financial benefit nor in terms of prestige.

This risk of repetition in Libya when France could work for and instead of Uncle Sam, but his greatest political advantage in the medium and long term. Wanting to forgive his diplomatic procrastination various uprisings against the Arab, Sarkozy will have to heart to redeem himself by doing humanitarian work and then the "stabilization." He simply forgets that, first the French will then be at the forefront of managing the unmanageable that is to say an insurgency and all its consequences, on the other hand, the U.S. will recover and denigrate it, then The situation for themselves by providing, then assistance and intervention, not humanitarian but economic (and oil-refundable) once the hardest has been made by the French.

Conclusion: nothing is gained to be subcontractors of foreign policy Americans. Sarkozy may learn the hard way. We also, unfortunately ...

Breastfeeding And Men

It speaks to the devil ...

At a time when one of our notoriously acclaimed filmmakers in the festival and critical circles (but somewhat less on the public side ) We flanked, in the media (and following the Rendez-Vous du Cinema Quebecois), its dose biannual declarations as inept than adequate reception of this small release (right) something tells me that Kaufman and Jonze would do well to read, if not already fact, some online reviews of Quebec media (big and small) for inspiration. The scenario they would have everything written in advance: do remain, perhaps, to give them something to Frank as a conscience (which I doubt that our model has Quebecois). Finally, needless to say I look "of Frank Francis' - and the spoof movies" Frank "that are sure to be there (although, frankly, is the blogger that I called Frank ") - a firm foothold ...

Bald Guys In Bandanas

I do not like the tops! ...

Really a little note of anything, because that is the Jutra coming up, because this, because this, because, like, movies Quebec, our cinema, our beautiful beautiful film, so interesting, so dynamic, so inspired, if all you want, they want their Oscars, wants its prices, wants us to do about him, I get a ticket that includes a list:

The Seven Days of retaliation
Vital Signs
Diary of a cooperating
City
Three times after the death of Anna
Fire
Originally a cry
Route 132
2 times a woman
10 1 / 2 Curling

... case that as a critic belonging to the brotherhood of criticism, even in my more modest scale than ever, I am voting, I prognostic what is in it at the Jutra nominated as a film of the year. Look. Ah ben ah ben. Conservatively, at a minimum, the proportion of films I've seen is measured between a third and half of the list. Have five or six remaining films. Five or six films to watch. Two hours on average per movie, then ten hours of time at least, plus the metro to go rent and lease charges, frankly it's beginning to do a lot. For a top-5 list. And for the film to see-because-that-is-Quebec, frankly.


short, "- I'm sorry, not interested." Remind later (an hour I'll be there.)


Yes yes sure, the film of a young, yes for sure , Oscar-Villeneuve, yeah ... well yes, buggery suspenders, national pride, so good but frankly Fire, Fire ... There's no hurry anyway, huh ...? Not hurry me. Pantoute.

Quebec cinema interests me ... sometimes. Because he happens to come up with something that looks like to the cinema. Because it happens to reflect the realities that concern me. And also because, being aware of the disorder that will give ALL independent filmmakers or almost - to get the struggling - to get the projects they take and the outcome, with compromise, funds reduced, rewrites imposed, will probably still below their own expectations and the effort they have put, I wear a very careful interest in what he can do under these conditions. It's been two, three reasons.


And sometimes there are meetings. The real. Which are often in shadow. As reviewed Orders ; have discovered W. of Pluto, one of the best films about adolescence, in my opinion. Not only in Quebec.


Thank goodness, because otherwise, to force me to serine on both sides that attending this film is a moral duty because we have s' interest in film shih Us " because it comes from us and it's sh paid with our taxes and that we, or because it deals with "major issues" or that it did in the "duty of memory", I could disgust me TRREE long since forever. I'm like that, I do not like being told what my property in this matter. Or what to think, or how.

This is not because I am Quebecois that I will focus ex Quebec cinema if I have reason to believe that he has nothing to say to me, he said nothing in my deep Québécité. Even that I would even say that being interested in something else, and having sometimes the chance to write this, I enrich, to my very modest scale, the critical discourse of Quebec , taking this stance of criticism Quebec who feels qualified to talk about the film world, from its Québécité inherited automatically. For questions of identity, this should suffice. Otherwise it would be incest.

This reminds me of another debate concerning the teaching of literature in post-secondary institutions in colleges. I think these guys that make me fall every time the ass of my chair, saying with the utmost seriousness and in all honesty should be taught exclusively in Quebec literature colleges. Perhaps even impose the same ten works, the corpus homogeneous for everyone and in all institutions, even lead to the hell absurd that teachers, like Sysyphes with their rock, have to teach, for example, the novel's premier colorless colorless most authors, Volkswagen Blues by Jacques Poulin, until retirement. While most students find it flat to death, some teachers also, and rightly so. Finally messemble.

fact remains that at the place of those who sometimes hallucinated storefront in newspapers, I see three responses, which vary depending on my mood, but I honestly think all three.

a) Answer Diplomatic "- Quebec literature, especially contemporary (see 1960s and after), is rich in forms and stories and speeches and she is indeed worthy of being taught and is interested, and have it done out of its relative privacy. But rather teach mmmettons, The white man, well, that Volkswagen Blues or Les Belles-Soeurs the nth time. It happens partly in the gulags ... I guess that means nothing to you ... "

b) Answer mid-fig ... "- teach 100% Quebec ...? Perhaps, but if you can name me some homemade tracks (say ten), which have important and universal human tireless news, say, The Metamorphosis of Kafka or A Season in hell ... "

c) scathing response:" - It will not be accepted? Zurück ?!? If you're left under the skirts of your mother up to 25 years is your problem. Try not to get us there as reforming education in full for all your neurosis splashes the world. "


It is not, at bottom, Québécité a work that bothers me. It is the desire, expressed regularly by institutional or other sources, to impose the expense of the rest, to be an intellectual blackmail (a duty), dreaming of a captive audience for reasons, I believe, that have absolutely nothing to do with the development of thought, a personal culture, all that.

I have written elsewhere how suicide Nelly Arcan me upset. The mini-crisis, I think, that it made me cross, made me realize one thing: it was somehow my responsibility to be interested, thinking, and question what my contemporaries, my relatives and their past also created. If I, one day, I published a book, I would become one of them. I would be categorized as "Québécois writer." I would enter myself in this flow and uneven multiforme, gathered under a single catch-all label that had often tended to denigrate. Now it was my responsibility to look into what were those who shared, who had inherited the same story as me, and crossed the events comparable to mine as soon as he was creating a work of imagination, or simply express themselves, be heard. Let there be no mistake: I am absolutely convinced that my culture (collective and personal why not) is capable of being great . The proof is modest: I am immediately surprised or complexed by the intelligence and originality that makes some blogs that I read a little guilty because it's actually less for books.

But I believe equally that choice, to be truly informed, must be done in the knowledge of what is done elsewhere in other crops that can tell me much, sometimes more, on my own situation. Pierre Falardeau For example, this was done by many Latin American writers. I would tell my board that is on the side of "small countries" of Eastern Europe, where the atoms hooked when it comes to fighting for intellectual freedom in a climate of institutionalized cultural provincialism, its numbers. Gombrowicz, again.

When I watch a Polish film, when I write about the work of a French author had been dead for thirty years, I'm from here, what I am, and from my Québécité. Often expected of a text it has a "hook" on the news. But basically everything is current, as long as my brain and my emotions lean on it and update the potential experience it has ceased to carry.

Institutional culture maintains a bias towards projects of any nature dealing with cultural issues in Quebec or to one form or another promotion of Quebec culture. Well ... As if there existed a kind of lack to be filled. And perhaps there there a yes. But there is also a lack of side to fill a critical discourse free to choose ... obscure object of desire, and build in his own way home, without going for a sort of detached traitor, someone who fails in his duty.

And so it is with our films, where my "Québécité", more often than not, do not recognize at all. Is it my fault, I see if for the umpteenth time My Dinner With Andre seems more important for me to type the latest movies-shock Podz? Maybe I'd be out of date when " my "movies I can prove it, too, interested in me, without claiming unfair that I'm looking for him, for reasons of galas and other marketingueuses patent, that I never feel like they gave me something in return.

Postscript

Speaking of the wolf ... and following my very popular (lots of hits!) gravélien winners of 3 January, I just noticed that the online journal offscreen has released a list of his "discoveries 2010 Team , all ages, classes and nationalities, combined. The brief introduction stating ...:

Like our magazine, a magazine that is not critical required to cover the latest films, these charts do not necessarily movies released in theaters this year, but the great discoveries - all categories, view room or on DVD - the writers. These "Top 10" (sometimes longer) list of outstanding films seen in 2010, but may have been made in another era.

Well, as they say: "That's the spirit." Besides, when you do not feel "obliged" to cover news in this film that this framework can be narrow, but it demonstrates freely about what our experiences have updated for us, you are exposed to something good: cause the news instead, simply follow the ; venture in revisiting the past, be, without being intended it, in front of things, instead of placing in the wake of "recent publications", with which, anyway, the test of time is often cruel. (Though it still would have appreciated some supporting lines for the choices displayed, because a list does not say always very long ...)

Notes on some movies (1)

I.

4-20 January: Alain Tanner

How do we recognize that a film is originally French-speaking Swiss? At this pressing issue, one possible answer given to me by the films of Alain Tanner: secondary characters all wear the beard, small round glasses, long hair and thick knits. Remains to be seen whether this hypothesis stands the test of time: after all, thirty years ago and that Tanner turned Charles Dead or Alive (1969) , The Return of Africa (1972) and The Middle of the World (1974), which does not younger (and me either way). Will it refresh all that I am typing in the upcoming films Swiss World Film Festival? Hope not: a movie, when it was leased to the weight, loses all sense of its origin. FFM: Wal-Mart International Film ... But back to Tanner -

Representative of a cinema and social distancing Brechtian tendencies - where he made his mark - Tanner seems to have the spirit left ... And heart in the most absolute wave. Charles died or alive shows initially a leftist fantasy: the boss of a company takes out his watch tape of platitudes before a team of journalists, bristled, reminders, and begins to tell the truth. He never wanted this job, inherited from his father. He's bored. He never really knew what he wanted, "he admits. Soon, he beats the countryside without leaving a forwarding address, leaving his son careerist care of business.

A germ of alternative society, social microstructure begins to form when it is adopted by a young couple who lives modestly on his return to earth. The husband is a kind of a gentle giant bit stupid, an idiot who candidly admits Dostoevsky his ignorance of everything (one might even assume that he is illiterate, and that Tanner is not skilled in the manufacture of allegorical characters). Little ability to handicrafts, the former boss becomes idle. It stays while two others work for him. Being stored in his host a proverb a day, he becomes arrogant, ironic ...

The observation is not made, but perhaps it just a simple life that recovers three hollow old power structures, in the group with the boss and workers. The best thing to do for Charles, is still to make itself the police who seek to enter quietly, resigned, in the paddy wagon to carry him back, presumably, to his place of factory boss, leaving his guests to their innocence, he Falli compromise the role it has played in this failed attempt at egalitarianism. The first feature-length fiction film Tanner has already established all the themes ...

I find something about all this in my recollection of In the White City, as well as in The Return of Africa and The Middle of the World : the desire for freedom, to live otherwise, the discomfort existential one that feels cramped in its social role, and that drives him to break with the company, then found helpless before the great wasteland of potential. Default solution, or by blindness: the decline. The dream. As the couple's return from Africa who rushes home to fool him to his friends that he left on the continent, toward a life where they would finally be useful. something. As the politician who sabotages his election campaign becomes infatuated with an Italian bartender who becomes his mistress. There with her he feels truly himself, yet he does not "see", she says, with rightly so, in the midst of the world . Tanner's in movies, it is possible that only Jonah Who Will Be 25 in 2000 has managed to portray a real team effort, small-scale project to create a utopia of social equality, which failed not immediately crushed against the wall of the failure or isolation of sterile. Otherwise it may be, in Tanner, space for the performance of utopia in the drama of manners variable geometry: A witness flame in my heart (1987) and The Journal of Lady M (1993), and fascinated by belated efforts Libertarians loves Myriam Mezieres, their leading actress, which tells the drop in detail. Finally, should always check, though ... So much for my theory of fabrics: the rumor that suit is walking in these two films, mostly naked dressed up ...

January 11-15: News of Orders , Michel Brault.

Quebecois films that claim a mythical dimension, it would now the Dozen, the remake of Dawn adaptation of Seraphin through Richard turnips and all who get excited about hockey or one of their best and dusty cadaveric our goodwill folklorico-literary (after The Stranger, why not a superprode inspired by Angeline de Montbrun ? Binamé we can energize it! It energizes everything, Belgium.) But, finally, no jokes, movies that really have access to this dimension - I count the Plouffe in there - and who, moreover, do so in dealing with recent events to them when they were made are still rare. Orders Michel Brault is, which is probably one of the few.

What strikes me to see him again 15 years after the first is how, unlike remembered what my memory is faulty, Orders does not so much the story of detention, than the arrest that led to it. The situation is almost Kafkaesque. In the aftermath of the vote unanyme who will enforce the War Measures Act, citizens have woken up, shoved in their homes by agents of the Act. "We had to slander Josef K., for without it nothing would hurt, he was arrested one morning ... "

Why are they arrested? No need to say. They serve the typical bureaucratic response: "A special law ... not need a warrant ... not need explanation. We receive orders. We are running them. "There you go. Enough said. Parents are torn from their office responsibilities: work, family, and are expeditiously carried who knows where or for how long or why, without further ado.

"My name is John Smith, in the movie I'm Clermont Boudreault, unionist ..." - the distance is to represent the viewer that the film makes the artifice of the stage. But the grammar of distancing what would it be in Orders , took over the old? If the movie, I think, is as topical as ever, not by his methods into abyss. It is, however, because despite these, the story tells us that absorbs and grabs us. It is no identification with the characters, not by the intensity (relative residing in) the interpretation, the situation is itself . Inspired by the events of October Orders accomplishes the feat to make us momentarily forget history, we better back then. Meanwhile, we feel the unworthiness of the views of the victim - the entire film is told from the perspective of victims - who must undergo to be arrested without knowing why, to be held in ignorance, to be thank you the arbitrariness of the guards and the Act, any fear of losing or have lost everything, be deported to a foreign place, repressive. It is reduced to this state of stupor in which no one knew, knew nothing of what was happening. Not surprisingly, the movie spends almost an hour to recount how his five protagonists were conducted in prison rather than talk, over time, their stay in a cell.

Despite the narrative-off, despite the use of alternating black and white and color, the film preserves a immersive dimension - against which it appears to stop fighting. Between this force and immersive processes distancing orders has something of a cinematic oxymoron, bringing together in a single work of elements opposed to a figure: black sun narrative scope of visceral sauce served Brechtian . He knows too, bit by bit, accountable environment. The decoration of Saint-Henri (which has not changed too much) and the Plateau Mont-Royal (the time when it was still a poor neighborhood) are captured in such a way that makes the entire distance between film Quebec today's reality of the places he claims to invest. There is the decor and there is the place. orders eastern side of place.

But where does this need for distance ? Arguably, in fact, that the aesthetic choices of Brault like to remind us what it shows on the screen is still below the crushing reality. It is no secret - a heading in that faith - the five main characters (played by Jean Lapointe, Guy Provost, Claude Gauthier, Louise Forestier and Hélène Loiselle) are condensations of fifty testimonies gathered from to former prisoners. Their trajectory is involved in a dimension typed more or less felt, I think particularly strong with regard to the fate of Clément Boudreault (Jean Lapointe) that learns the death of his father during his detention, and especially the character Richard Lavoie (Claude Gauthier) who reveals the favorite target of police cruelty.

after the home caught by police when he changes the diapers of her baby, unemployed, threatened by a (fake) killing, loving (apparently, during a scene) to clean the floor corridor of the prison, the film has the place of Richard Lavoie attributes that are the opposite of masculinity. At least for the staff of guards that make it stand all the insults, if not tell him "squeal like a pig ! "or treating" feufi. In veiled terms, so below , the fate of Richard Lavoie probably symbolizes, Orders in , Calvary particular qu'auront been subjected to homosexual inmates in October.

Now, why talk about the News of Orders?

... Because in doing as he does - at a distance cons immersion, nature and typed "representative" of the characters, exclusive adoption of the perspective of the victim - Orders we speak, we always talked about, and discuss Again, the situation of October as a non-episode past, gone, liquidated, but as an event that hovers, something that could come back. It represents the legacy of human Measures Act as a war situation reactivatable , always present, the condition of Quebec. One need only imagine how those in power respond to an internal political crisis in nature "separatist". His threat still hangs over us. Similarly, too - we can still hope - that remains the resilience of a people that has defined and constructed in response to persecution that do not belong to any of the episodes in its history that would now "archaic." This, at least my version.

And all that is longer than I thought and I'm starting to tire,

... I pass rapidly over the immense pleasure that I had to review the Mean Streets Scorsese, perhaps the first of his films (1974) where we discovered a whole, or almost every obsession in his place, articulated finally.

What difference, indeed, is there between these Vitelloni of Little Italy in New York, and gangsters of Goodfellas or Casino ? A difference of scale, at most (in immorality in the quantities of hemoglobin paid too). But what is to be boosted by a film camera movements and a stunning soundtrack that puts tubes with these characters that unpredictability, or the mixture of ambition (reduced) and scruples (religious, sentimental), and total lack of taste (in Scorsese, the Underworld is still small despite its means because it remains vulgaris) bears to the edges of psychosis; these shots, finally, which are a signature effect - when you enter, following a character, seen from behind in those places where "it happens" and we take in the breathtaking atmosphere yet saturated characters infréquentables: here: here it is in Mean Streets Small portable the Scorsese , the film that take him on a desert island, would not do to remember what Scorsese has also repeated on a larger scale, but that does not add to this portrait in microcosm , probably also more human, because in Mean Streets, it still passes the entire length of the film wondering if someone has skin Robert de Niro, or if Robert de Niro eventually (foolishly) have on their skin, whereas in subsequent films, it kills everything-goes, it was shot without a second thought is uninhibited -: dehumanization is heavier and more frightening too; the most savage violence. Mean Streets, or the world of gangsterism scorsésien reproduced scale (yet) human. And the accession of a filmmaker in full control of its turbulence - which is definitely not synonymous with restraint, the contrary. Taxi Driver was nice to receive his medals, but in terms of "personal film", he belongs Nor his screenwriter, Paul Schrader? I thought it between these two major works, it is in Mean Streets Scorsese that engages fully.

say I have also seen, without talking now:

... of Caesar and Rosalie (1972) by Claude Sautet, change the canvas hollow (modernized) of Jules and Jim but Chuis not sure we will see, and the infatuation of ego for me to see Sami Frey a kind of double morphological then Gulag, white square on white background, with Iosif Pasternak and Hélène Chatelain, a damn great film despite its inaccessibility and its reputation as confidential (an insert of Andre Roy 24 Images , long time ago), and I was lucky to hand over a few years ago. Need to honor ç'ui there, somewhere where it can leave traces, next time.

Still other evocations weirder

Remember : there is one and a half, I presented my small collection of photos with stuff in French (or almost) in . Good news, he'll still have lots to show you!

is that the French, it is chic and it sells:

Or not:

A small reference that warms the heart:

Our famous Gauls are indeed well known in Denmark!

we find some little mistakes:

is in the same restaurant that I was privileged to enjoy a "Tarte Tatin" (true)

which proved to be ... three slices!

Some stuff is still funny:

But the best of the best was this kind of shop decoration incredible

So no, it is not in Christiania, despite its appearance! It is located in the Vesterbro district, at the corner of the street Kaalundsgade and most unpronounceable name in the whole city:

What I find less funny though, is that stamp as "French" things that are not at all!

the engelsk hotdog is the classic example

The Leverpostej is a kind of pate, but hey, this is not provided what French.

The taste is quite unusual for the French actually.

Nan, but there WHEREOF the French there??

Enough joked. To find good yum yum really with us in Copenhagen, there is a place is this one:

No doubt, really taken by the French! :-P

How Fast Do Dune Buggies Go

Joys of Archives, 1

This could inaugurate an entry in the genre "found papers" would not do because, as I have written elsewhere, it does not lack with us (and I now have a scanner that blows rarely), but also because a blog, eh, it is illustrated, it is not just for text, I tend to forget that.

Exhibit # 1, so:

"The Stanley Kubrick Archives, Taschen, p.446 (" SHi.02 ") [original]

hacks compulsive, Stanley Kubrick, during one of his sessions headlock early preparation Shining , advances a hypothesis about the psychology of Wendy, it was too dynamic too full of resources and time in King's novel, for it is plausible to see it stay all this time with a misfire such as Jack Torrance. Hence "solution Confidential" and temporary " Wendy could be" strong. " Magnet Being satisfied with failure and problems with Jack. She did not leave because she needs it. She needs to feel his weakness and frustration. , "reads the top left.

I wish to decode the other notes on the page, but even with the zoom, it has its challenges. The "scanner" is a valuable tool for reading Kubrick Archives , because in the original volume - or rather its Special 25th Anniversary edition, reduced by about one third compared to the first edition - the image is about ten centimeters in eight, and it must frankly be equipped with a magnifying glass or zoom to decipher the handwriting scrawl Kubrick:

("The Stanley Kubrick Archives, Taschen, p.446 (" SHi.02 ") [Annotated].

PART # 2

... the game a little morbid that the review of working papers Kubrick calls to make, once that was equipped with a magnifying glass, it also wonder how what began with a scribbled note, a issue an injunction, a virtual solution (not the tactics of Kubrick as a screenwriter has also appeared comparable to mental work of a chess player in the notes: a chess player who would try to sell all sequences potential of a running game, to stop on one that seemed the best and most logical ...) incarnate on the screen.

How to show affection for Danny Jack? That should be way at least once ...

(14 oct.1977, brown book)

[Ibid, p.447, document SHI.06]

What a which would prevent him from sleeping - Kubrick and emotional outpourings, anyway, that's two, although demonstrations of paternal affection are not foreign to his films, they still, unlike the violence of war For example, a certain reserve in their treatment. A videophone conversation on the station's orbital between 2001 a father and daughter is particularly true for its demonstration value on the future of telecommunications. Remains the fact that Kubrick picture of inconsolable sadness Barry Lyndon bent over his dying son, who has perhaps given the opportunity to play his actor-star, Ryan O'Neal, in a register close to melodramatic one of the leading man known who had made famous in a mash of station Love Story (with the substitution of the son by a girlfriend leukemia in a modern setting.)

To Shining , be assumed that what remained of the original intent - show "at least once" Jack's affection for his son - has housed its last residue in the scene that starts at 8:30 of this clip, courtesy of YouTube. But then I think we can really truly safe to say about residue, a small deposit, otherwise the scene is even more afraid (or be convulsed with laughter, dependent for whom) -

During that time, going over my records to me, now that I falls on the ass of this historic document of prime importance.

Some reassuring to learn that human The speaking, amateur, pause, layout, full spool, agoraphobia, Crossfade , The Censor unemployed, the Turnip and chained my favorite there, The council of war, are still for sale and, for a ridiculous amount.

scribbled somewhere between June and July 1992 in anticipation of a brainstorming meeting that would address decide also the "new" under Book Movie Cégep Saint-Laurent (entitled Yellow in its pilot version), the name Cinératures (which will be finally adopted, but without the "s" I regret), makes his first appearance in the history of mankind.

(And another appearance in this blog even , where last year I proposed to establish the record of this review, which could happen after all, thanks to the valuable assistance of Hewlett Packard, eh, you know, because last year, I recopied the texts to the glove (eg here, here , here and here ) and myself (naturally) quickly disgusted, because frankly there are better things to do at this time and my ten fingers copy (even at a typing speed of 65 wpm.) my essays from college students, openly anyway, and there are limits to spawn in nostalgia without the assistance of technology.)

(Well, I think it would be known that if this project were to develop with some consistency, and for all the love I feel for the players in this little adventure in the territory of college, her story will be any heart dedicated to Mr. Julien Levy , which was the rédac'chef of Cinératures during its third year of existence.)
