The African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde
(PAIGC) that liberated Guinea-Bissau was more successful than any
other guerrilla movement in Africa. In Those Whom Death Refused
Flora Gomes had contrasted guerrilla warfare and nonchalant bureau-
crats. Four years later he created a beautiful film that reminds us of the
sacrifices made during the war but focuses on the present in Bissau.
The Blue Eyes of Yonta shows that the socialist transformation
promised at independence failed to materialize and that the shift to
economic liberalization in the late 1980s created new hardships. The
film graphically conveys the run-down poverty of Bissau, the nation’s
capital: it may not look it, but all the action but one short scene takes
place in the city. The contrast with an extravagant wedding reception
at the local Sheraton Hotel illustrates the deep inequality that charac-
terizes Guinea-Bissau less than a generation after independence was
achieved at the cost of great sacrifices.
The Blue Eyes of Yonta takes a critical look at the infatuation with
things Western. Zé copies his letter to Yonta out of a European
brochure of love letters meant to be addressed to beauties with blue
eyes, to be written while the snow falls. The poet wallows in his
longing for the Swedish girl with the blue eyes. And a war hero
returns with presents from Portugal that follow European fashion and
taste rather than African needs. At the same time we see a comfortable
amalgamation of tradition and Western import. We hear a few
references to God, but we also see tradition observed with a libation of
wine at a wedding ceremony that strikingly combines traditional
marriage transactions between the spouses’s families and a civil
marriage. The bride’s white gown and her African hairdo beautifully
demonstrate the felicitous integration of old and new.
The various characters present different responses to the state of
Guinea-Bissau nearly two decades after independence. Yonta stands
at the center of this comedy of misplaced affections. Yonta’s frivolity
reflects the city and its superficiality. She admires Vicente but does
not share his dreams: ‘‘If your ideals have been spoiled, it’s not my
fault. We respect the past, but we can’t live in it.’’ In the end Yonta is
rejected by both Vicente and Zé, but she remains secure in the
affection of her parents and her younger brother, however much he
may tease her.
Vicente is a war hero. But he has not been able to stick to the ideals
he fought for. ‘‘[M]oney is the weapon now,’’ he tells Amilcar, ‘‘The
war is over.’’ He drives a Volvo and brings the gifts from Europe,
however inappropriate, that people will enjoy. When he is finally
reunited with Nando, his comrade-in-arms, he observes resignedly:
‘‘In the jungle we thought it would be for everyone. But it’s not. What
can I do?’’ The fruits of independence have come to some, here in the
capital, and Vicente asks Nando to join him to get his share. But
Nando has been marked even more profoundly by the struggle. He
wants no part of Bissau and returns to Catio, once at the center of the
war for liberation. His quiet departure confronts Vicente with the
failure of their struggle. As he talks to the sculpture he cradles and
dances to circling vultures, we wonder whether he has gone out of
his mind.
Zé is moonstruck by Yonta but comes to realize that they live in
different worlds. Though her radiance bewitches him, he eventually
rejects the conspicuous, Western-oriented consumption of Bissau she
represents. He does not share the dream of the young who want to
emigrate to Europe; he affirms that the place he came from—Bolama,
the war-time capital, symbol of the struggle for independence—is as
good as Bissau, and he is prepared to return there. If Yonta’s glamor
recalls the glittering promises that came with independence nearly

two decades before, then his disappointment stands for all those
whose aspirations have been frustrated.
Flora Gomes named his youngest protagonist for Amilcar Cabral,
the distinguished guerrilla leader and intellectual. Young Amilcar is
quick and witty, boisterous and ingenious, full of initiative, mischief,
and energy. And he shows signs of following in the steps of his
famous namesake. He is afraid of no one: his older sister, a truck
driver, government authority. He leads the children in putting an
evicted widow back into her house. If this rebellion against the callous
disregard of people’s needs suggests the prospect of a better future,
Gomes does not tell us what it might look like: ‘‘I do not suggest
alternatives. As a ‘contester,’ I am someone who, above all, makes
observations and remarks on issues.’’ But with Nando and Zé he has
firmly established that the country at large rejects the compromises
that mark the capital.
Gomes created a beautiful and funny film. We follow the entan-
glements of our protagonists, relish their grace, enjoy the music, and
discover Bissau. Through most of the film we revel in the caring
among the adults and the prospect of romance among the young.
Then, in the last fifteen minutes, the idyll unravels: Nando confronts
Vincente with the betrayal of the ideals for which they fought,
Vicente denounces Yonta and the consumer culture she represents,
and Zé rejects Yonta in turn. Only at the very end do the children
reassure us that all is not lost.
The actors Gomes chose and trained are key to the success of his
film. Bia Gomes, who appears in the role of Yonta’s mother Belante,
had played a lead role in Those Whom Death Refused, but most of the
actors in The Blue Eyes of Yonta were amateurs. Soon after he had
completed Those Whom Death Refused, Gomes set out to search for
actors amongst his friends, in the women associations, at the exit of
schools, in poor neighborhoods, and also in some government minis-
tries. He then spent nine months with the actors in regular work
sessions. In the film they use the local Portuguese creole they are
comfortable with. Gomes complimented the beauty of his actors by
using soft colors to good advantage.

***
Ugetsu monogatari was not the first Kenji Mizoguchi film to be
shown in the West, but it was the first to reveal him to the West as
a major artist. Swiftly establishing itself (especially in France) on
many critics’ ‘‘Ten Best’’ lists, the film opened the way for the
acclamation of the work of Mizoguchi’s final period. For some, he
became the supreme filmmaker, the cinematic Shakespeare, realizing
to the fullest the potential of film as an art form. That was at the time
when the ‘‘potential of film’’ was generally felt to have been
identified and adequately expounded by André Bazin; and assessment
which can still be accepted if we add the proviso that Bazin accounted
for only one of film’s many potentials.
However, the supremacy of his ‘‘late’’ period and the kind of
achievement that it represents, has been increasingly challenged since
the 1960s. Two factors help account for this: one is the discovery of
Mizoguchi’s earlier films, previously almost unknown; the other is
the politicization of film criticism and the growth, within it, of an
ideological awareness. In recent years, No?l Burch’s To the Distant
Observer, Joan Mellen’s The Waves at Genji’s Door, and Frieda
Frieberg’s useful pamphlet Women in Mizoguchi’s Films—three
books written from quite distinct critical positions, with quite distinct
estimates of Mizoguchi’s work—have agreed on one point, the
application (in a derogatory sense) of the term ‘‘aestheticism’’ to
Mizoguchi’s late work. Films previously hailed as the greatest ever
made—Ugetsu, Sansho dayu, The Life of Oharu—are suddenly
perceived as evidence of Mizoguchi’s withdrawal from the radicalism
of his work in the 1930s and 1940s, and a retreat from a social/
political viewpoint into the realm of aesthetic contemplation.
The relationship between aesthetics and politics is incredibly
complex: the critical problems it generates have never been success-
fully resolved. It is true that Ugetsu monogatari is ideologically more
conservative than, say, Sisters of Gion or My Love Has Been Burning.
The crux lies in the treatment of women. From the radical feminist
protest of his earlier films to the celebration of woman as self-
sacrificer, redeemer, and mother in Ugetsu is certainly a large and
disconcerting jump. (Mizoguchi’s conversion to Buddhism in the
early 1950s is doubtlessly a related factor.) Further, Ugetsu can be
read as advocating the resignation to and the acceptance of one’s lot.
This withdrawal from the active struggle in favor of a spiritual
transcendence makes the hardships of the material world not so much
endurable as irrelevant. The film encourages such a reading, yet
cannot be reduced to it.
Ugetsu contains within itself an answer to the charge of aestheti-
cism. The story of Genjuro the potter can be taken as Mizoguchi’s
artistic testament. At the beginning of the film Genjuro is a materialis-
tic artisan, mass-producing pots as a commodity. His encounter with
UMBERTO D FILMS, 4

the Lady Wakasa introduces him to the world of the aesthetic. She
shows him fragile and exquisite vessels that she presents, and he
accepts, as his creations, but that are totally unlike the crude,
functional wares we have seen him almost brutally shape earlier. The
complexity of response that this whole central segment evokes is
sufficient in itself to call into question the reduction of the film to
a single clear-cut statement. The Lady Wakasa is both evil spirit and
a pathetic, victimized woman; the world of the aesthetic (which is also
the world of the erotic) has a fascination and authentic beauty that
make it far from easily dismissible. That alluring world, however, has
three negative connotations. First, it is presented as a possible option
only if one turns one’s back on reality. It is a world of fantasy and
illusion where the suffering of human beings in a material world of
oppression, cruelty, greed, and human exploitation cannot be permit-
ted to intrude. (One of the most expressive cuts in the history of the
cinema is that from the exquisite scene of love-making on the
cultivated lawn beside the lake to Miyagi, fearfully peering out from
her hiding-place, a woman vulnerable to attack from all sides of
a society created by men.) Second, Wakasa herself is not presented as
an autonomous character, even in her appreciation of beauty. Every-
thing she knows, her father had taught her. Her father (long since
dead) appears in the film as a hideous, emaciated skull-like mask
speaking in a disturbingly strange subterranean voice. The aesthetic,
whatever else it may be, is clearly defined as a patriarchal imposition:
‘‘taste’’ is what women are taught by men. Finally, the father is linked
to war, domnation, and imperialism. Wakasa’s father had the misfor-
tune to lose, and have his clan exterminated, but the film makes clear
that he would have inflicted precisely the same fate on his enemies,
had the outcome been reversed.
The overall effect of the film is to suggest, not that the aesthetic is
invalid in itself, but that it cannot validly exist in this world. (The
film’s contemporary relevance is by no means compromised by its
setting in the sixteenth century.) The pot Genjuro is making at the end
of the film, under Miyagi’s spiritual supervision, is significantly
different from the two previous kinds of work: it is made with loving
care, but also the product of experience; it is a work of art yet made to
be used by Genjuro’s peers rather than admired by a cultivated elite.
The great beauty of the film is of an order altogether different from the
aestheticism of the Wakasa world. Mizoguchi never aestheticizes
pain and suffering (in the manner of, say, David Lean in Dr. Zhivago).
The extraordinary sequence-shot showing the mortal wounding of
Miyagi is a case in point: the aesthetic strategies (long take, distance,
complex camera movement, depth of field showing simultaneous
actions in foreground and background) serve to sustain the character-
istic Mizoguchian tension between involvement and contemplation,
but do not in any way mitigate the horror of the scene.
If on one level Ugetsu tends to reinforce traditional myths of
woman, on another it remains true to the radical spirit of Mizoguchi’s
earlier Marxist-feminist principles. The actions of both Genjuro and
Tobei are motivated by the values forced upon them by patriarchal
capitalism. They both seek success (Genjuro through the acquisition
of wealth, Tobei through the prestige of becoming a Samurai) in order
to impress their wives, neither of whom shows the smallest interest in
such ambitions. The film is a systematic critique of the kind of male
egoism (expressing itself in greed and violence and the destruction of
human relationships, always at the expense of women) that a patriar-
chal capitalist civilization promotes.

Umberto D is often considered Vittorio De Sica’s masterpiece, the
purest example of Cesare Zavattini’s aesthetic, and most highly
developed expression of this historic collaboration of director and
screenwriter. It may also be the most relentlessly bleak of the great
works of neo-realism.
De Sica was aware from the start that Umberto D might be
susceptible to the same charge of subversion that had greeted Miracle
in Milan. On the other hand, he had hoped, as he pointed out in a later
comment, that ‘‘the story of that old retired office worker, his tragic
solitude, his boundless sadness and his pathetic, awkward attempts at
warming his heart (would have) a kind of universality that would be
understood by everyone.’’ This was not to be the case. De Sica was
accused by many, including the then junior minister Giulio Andreotti,
of washing Italy’s dirty laundry in public, of irresponsibility in
projecting a negative view of the country. Against Umberto D were
mobilized forces strongly opposed to exporting images of an Italy
depressed and without justice; following Umberto D, the foreign
distribution of films that were declared unflattering to Italian society
was banned. The authorities feared, and with good reason, what the
critic Georges Sadoul and a few others most admired. At the time of
its first showing, Sadoul noted that Umberto D (along with Sciuscia,
Bicycle Thief, and Miracle in Milan) constituted an extraordinary
‘‘act of accusation’’ against contemporary Italy. Official hostility was
followed by critical indifference, and to complete the disastrous
reception, Umberto D failed miserably at the box office. The story of
old age, loneliness, and spiritual and material poverty was not likely
to appeal to audiences who, in 1952, were eager to forget the past and
to embrace the economic miracle that they thought—correctly as it
turned out—was just around the corner.
Critical debate since the release of the film has focused on what is
generally understood to be its central aesthetic question, the question
of duration. Jean Collet was among the first to underscore that
through the restitution to film of real time, De Sica had succeeded in
giving the most banal of situations remarkable depth. But it is André
Bazin’s essay, ‘‘De Sica: Metteur en Scène,’’ that most completely
delimits and defines the issue. Bazin is specifically interested in those
privileged moments in Umberto D that afford a glimpse of what ‘‘a
truly realist cinema of the time could be, a cinema of ‘duration.’’’
Two scenes particularly—Umberto going to bed and the awakening
of the servant girl—exemplify those perfect instances in which
duration determined by character creates a mise-en-scène that re-
places drama with gesture, narrative with act. For Bazin, in these
sequences ‘‘it is a matter of making ‘life time’—the continuing to be
a person to whom nothing in particular happens—(that) takes on the
quality of spectacle.’’ Zavattini’s lengthy descriptions of the most
minute though absolutely necessary movements and expressions,
scrupulously performed under De Sica’s direction and photographed
in revealing long takes by G.R. Aldo, exhibit, for Bazin, ‘‘complete
fidelity to the aesthetic of neo-realism.’’ A conflicting position is
taken some years later by Jean Mitry whose objection is not to the
concept of duration, but to what is, in his view, a duration without
significance. Duration in Umberto D, according to Mitry, ‘‘is nothing
more than banality and is charged very simply with prolonging,
beyond the tolerable, events whose sense is clear from the very first
images.’’
These events are as follows: Umberto D., a retired civil servant is
among the aging demonstrators at a rally in support of increased
pensions. (Umberto is played by a Carlo Battisti, a university profes-
sor De Sica pressed into service after a chance meeting on the streets
of Rome.) Impoverished but genteel, about to be dispossessed,
completely alone except for the company of his dog, Flike, and the
occasional companionship of a young servant girl, Umberto deter-
mines to take his own life. His only concern is for Flike, for whom he
attempts to find a home before doing away with himself. Failing in the
first attempt, Umberto determines to kill himself and Flike, and
failing again, has no recourse but to take up once more an entirely
hopeless existence. Were it not for his indifference to hostility,
Umberto’s confrontation with cold, often hostile persons and institu-
tions would earn him the sympathy of the viewers, and the viewers the
pleasure of the well-earned sentimental response. But De Sica,
Zavattini, and Aldo take the necessary measures of script, direction,
and camera that distance the viewer and deny easy sympathy. The
cruelty of society’s neglect of Umberto (which so offended the
authorities), and lack of compassion of peers and institutions (which
no doubt offended the charitable), and Umberto’s grievous self-
centeredness finally elicit, through the manipulations of style, the
detachment of the viewer (and his or her attendant dissatisfaction)
from Umberto’s despair. The rigor of Umberto D explains both its
initial failure and its subsequent reputation. Bazin’s prediction was
borne out; Umberto D would prove ‘‘a masterpiece to which film
history is certainly going to grant a place of honor .’’

***
Underground is a historical film exploring the violent state of
affairs in Yugoslavia. The film’s narrative spans over five decades,
highlighting episodes taking place in 1941, 1961, and 1993. Real
events are combined with fictional historical encounters and occur-
rences. Documentary footage of selected moments of Yugoslav
history is used as a background against which the fictional protago-
nists mingle with real historical personalities à la Forrest Gump. The
film is characterized by elaborate scenes, ornate props, and a haunting
musical score. Visually, the film is very dark, shot mostly in various
shades of brown. There is even a shot taken from an unborn baby’s
point of view, watching out of the darkness of the womb. The film
leaves a lasting and unsettling impression.
Underground is screenwriter Dusan Kovacevic’s and director
Emir Kusturica’s personal take on Yugoslav history. In the film they
follow closely the lives of three protagonists—Marko, a cunning
cynic; Blacky, an artless dunce; and Natalia, an opportunistic blonde—
who are shown at various stages of their lives that largely coincide
with the highlighted moments of Yugoslav history. Marko and
Blacky both have a crush on Natalia, and many of their actions are
determined by this romantic rivalry. The somber backdrop to these
sensual affairs, however, is a war with no end.
In the first part, called ‘‘War,’’ which opens with the Nazi
bombing of Belgrade in 1941, Marko, an energetic black marketeer,
takes a group of friends and relatives to a cellar which he has equipped
as an air-raid shelter. It soon turns out that he has planned the whole
rescue operation with the intention of enslaving the people in the
cellar. Above ground, Marko and Blacky complete a series of reckless
burglaries that they present as motivated by anti-Fascist zeal. After
performing a daring anti-Nazi stunt which is nothing else but another
manifestation of a philanderer’s showmanship, Marko gets rid of
Blacky by sending him to ‘‘hide’’ in the cellar. He can finally claim
Natalia exclusively for himself.
The events of the second part, ‘‘The Cold War,’’ take place in
1961. In postwar communist Yugoslavia, Marko has become a cele-
brated poet, close to president Tito. He has married Natalia, and
together they have created a mythology of themselves as brave anti-
Fascists. A film is to be shot about their heroic experiences in the
struggle. Simultaneously, Marko and Natalia still keep a large number
of people, Blacky included, in the cellar. They trick them into
thinking that the war goes on by playing soundtracks of Nazi
bombings and Hitler’s speeches. They use them as slave labor to
manufacture arms that Marko trades internationally. One day Marko
and Natalia descend to the cellar to attend the wedding of Blacky’s
son. Sweaty drunkenness reigns over this claustrophobic celebration
and the wedding guests, all intoxicated, end up fighting over unsettled
accounts. In the turmoil, the walls of the cellar crumble. The members
of the wedding disperse in disarray and most of the enslaved inhabi-
tants of the underground run away. Blacky and his son climb above
ground and end up at the shooting site of a film which is supposed to
glorify the heroic past. Mistaking the set for reality and believing that
World War II is still going on, they kill all the extras wearing German
uniforms. The son drowns in the Danube, and Blacky is captured by
the police. Marko and Natalia escape the coming trouble, blowing up
the house and the cellar.
The third part, again called ‘‘War,’’ is set in the 1990s at an
unidentified battlefield, presumably Bosnia, where the protagonists
cross paths one last time. Marko and Natalia have continued in
international arms sales, and are wanted by Interpol. Blacky, still
mourning the loss of his son thirty-five years earlier, is now in
command of the paramilitary forces shelling a nearby city. In a final
showdown Marko is killed by his own brother, Ivan, one of the people
formerly confined in the underground. The paratroopers shoot Natalia.
Blacky passes by without recognizing his former friends.
The film’s epilogue offers a sharp contrast to this apocalyptic
ending. In a utopian wedding scene all the protagonists come back to
life and gather together for a wedding feast on the Danube’s sunny
shores. As they cheerfully celebrate, the piece of land on which they
stand breaks apart from the mainland and quietly floats away. The
wedding guests are too busy dancing and singing to notice that they
are being carried away into an unknown destination.
This final scene is the defining image that screenwriter Kovacevic
and director Kusturica had in mind for this project. They were
determined to use it as a metaphor for the Yugoslav people, who, as
Kusturica explained in a 1996 interview with David Robinson: ‘‘go
away never really knowing what has happened to them. That is the
way of the Balkan people. They never rationalize their past. Somehow
the passion that leads them forward is not changed. I hope some day
people may find better ways to use the passion they have so far
persistently used to kill one another.’’
Underground was awarded the Golden Palm at the 1995 Cannes
International Film Festival, adding to the previous Golden Palm for
Kusturica’s When Father Was Away on Business (1985) and his Best
Director award for Time of the Gypsies (1989), and enhancing the
director’s reputation as a ‘‘Balkan Fellini.’’ The award carried weight
with international critics, most of whom saw the film as an esoteric
piece of elitist cinema preoccupied with the messy state of Balkan
affairs but nonetheless endorsed it. Underground, however, came
under critical fire for the historical and political propositions upon
which the story was built. The main accusation was that the film was
a well-masked version of Serbian propaganda, presented at a time
when Serbia was largely believed to be the aggressive force in the
Yugoslav break-up war. Others charged that by making a film in

Belgrade at the time when Serbia was at war with his own native land,
a Sarajevan director like Kusturica was committing an act of betrayal.
Many in his native Bosnia denounced him as an intellectual traitor
who had taken the side of the aggressor. The media noise was
significant, but the debate remained quite cryptic for larger audiences.
The director was so upset by the controversy that he declared
a withdrawal from filmmaking—a promise which he did not keep. He
returned to cinema soon thereafter and continued shooting in Serbia
and internationally.

***
Like its predecessor Tightrope, Unforgiven—a film critic Pat
Dowell calls ‘‘droll, dry and deadpan’’—marks a turning point in the
career of Clint Eastwood. Just as the almost cartoonish, ultra-violent
Dirty Harry image changes in Tightrope to a single father nearly
overcome by his human frailty and seeking redemption through
family values, so Unforgiven challenges earlier film stereotypes, not
just of Eastwood’s own spaghetti-western type but also of what has
become of the Western genre itself. The classic American morality
story has fallen on sad days, exhausted by overexposure and made
decadent by the gimmickry of special effects exaggerating form over
substance. Producer and director Eastwood returns the form to its
moral roots, especially in the precise calculation of the effects of
violence, its running commentary on honourable behaviour, and its
consciousness of the power of falsity of reputation.
At a time of increasing violence in society, a return to a classic
genre permits a distanced examination of issues of revenge, guns, and
respect. The story stems from an incident wherein a drunken cowboy
slices up the face of a prostitute in Big Whiskey, Wyoming, in 1880.
Gene Hackman, as Little Bill Doggett, in a wonderfully written and
performed part that reveals unexpected depths in the hackneyed role
of small town sheriff, decrees financial reimbursement as punishment
for the cowboy, choosing economic stability for the whoremaster
over a harsher justice, and thereby enraging Strawberry Alice, who
leads the other prostitutes to put up a $1,000 reward for the lives of the
two cowboys involved. This incentive draws a collection of misfit
bounty hunters, including English Bob (Richard Harris), a British
dandy, accompanied by his own dime-novel journalist/flack; the
‘‘Schofield Kid,’’ a self-promoting would-be Billy-the-Kid, whose
extreme myopia makes him potentially lethal to his comrades; and
Eastwood himself, as Bill Munny, a long-retired gunfighter turned
marginal pig farmer, who is a widower with two children and
friendless, except for an old colleague—Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman).

The film is replete with unexpected reversals and new takes on old
clichés, beginning with the feminist/activist roles of the prostitutes in
revenging the injury to one of their own: they are not simple pawns or
victims. By standing against the powerful and devious Little Bill, they
create their own justice. Harris’s English Bob is introduced as
a fearsome shooter and a dominating personality, only to be humili-
ated and pummelled fatally in front of his newspaperman-cum-
promoter (Saul Rubinek), by Little Bill, who has banned guns in his
town. The deflation of English Bob is completed when we learn that
his victims have been unarmed Chinese, and that his hagiography as
a gunfighter, enhanced by pulp fiction, conceals cowardly and
incompetent behaviour.
The distance between myth and reality is best exemplified by
Eastwood’s Bill Munny. The director portrays himself unshaven and
dissolute, wrestling with pigs in a muddy sty and losing—no dialogue
is needed to comment on this iconography of western hero passed his
prime and tragically domesticated. The scene is all the more affecting
given the opening long shot of Eastwood burying his wife on the
loneliest prairie imaginable. The decision to pursue the bounty is
wonderfully fuzzy and vague, that of a man who has battled with the
bottle and is trying hard to be a responsible father. To all appearances
Jaimz Woolvett’s Schofield Kid is the ‘‘true’’ gunfighter, a brittle,
barely controlled youngster bristling with hostile machismo, danger-
ous, unpredictable, and insecure. However, his physical myopia
extends to his inability to recognize Eastwood as what he might
become if he survives. Only after ignominiously killing an unarmed
man in an outhouse does he give up his desire to be a gunfighter.
As the film, with an admirably ambling pace, proceeds to show the
inevitable working out of the algebra of revenge and violence, we
learn from varying sources and demonstrations that most bullets miss
their mark and that, contrary to what tenderfoot Eastern journalists
and shoot-em-up movies suggest, killing men is not easy, especially
when they are shooting back. Even the battered face of the slimy
English Bob evokes sympathy. The evidence mounts that a chain of
violence has terrible consequences, from the scarred face of the
prostitute to the illness that affects Eastwood at the prospect of
resuming his killing career to the beating of Eastwood by Little Bill.
There will be no dramatic shootout on Main Street at high noon;
rather, violence is messy, bloody, and usually indulged under cover of
night with unfair odds. When Eastwood finally returns to wreak his
own revenge for Ned’s murder, the action is brutal and the characters
unforgiving: wounded, helpless men are killed where they lie on the
floor, and being a successful gunfighter is shown as a terrible and
inhuman instinct for effective violence, not as a romantic and he-
roic figure.
A box office success, winner of five Academy Awards and the
Cahiers du Cinema best film of the year, Unforgiven returns the
Western to its moral and thematic roots, but with a late 20th-century
sensibility of cynicism, irony, and worldweariness. The cliché that
violence begets violence is confirmed, as is its appeal: violence
actually does resolve problems, though at an enormous cost even to its
survivors. Not an easy tool, violence can turn unpredictably against its
long-term practitioners. Revenge and honour prove complex ques-
tions, and apparently simple situations have a logic of their own that
complicates and entraps. Reputation, a commodity often created and
abused, leads to unwelcome pressures to conform to the expectations
of others. This sometimes sad, sometimes comic, melancholic look
back at the past speaks eloquently to our present and future. In doing
so, Eastwood has given this old genre potential new life for the next
century.

***
In 1961 Peter Kubelka was asked to make a documentary about
a group of Europeans on an African hunting trip. He accompanied
them, recorded many hours of film and sound, and then spent five
years editing this material into a most unconventional film. The result,
Unsere Afrikareise, is one of the most densely packed 12? minutes in
film history, and makes truly extraordinary use of the creative
possibilities of sound.
Kubelka bases his use of sound on the notion that accompanying
an image with its own synchronous sound adds little, and merely
imitates nature; rather, he weds an image to a sound recorded
UNSERE AFRIKAREISE FILMS, 4
th
EDITION

elsewhere. These combinations, which he calls ‘‘sync events,’’ are
often matched quite precisely in timing and rhythm, as when a gun-
shot appears to shoot a hat off a man’s head; or when white and black
men shake hands to the sound of thunder. By combining disparate
elements, Kubelka makes ‘‘articulations’’ (his words), which fuse
separate pieces both rhythmically and thematically in a manner
possible only in film.
Kubelka’s juxtaposition of images in Unsere Afrikareise follows
similar lines. Images taken at different times and places are cut
together, often on matched movements, to create momentary illusions
of continuity. The images are disparate enough, however, so that the
viewer is never fooled. A hunter shakes an African’s hand and we cut
to a zebra’s leg, shaking similarly, as if the hunter were shaking it, but
the hunter is nowhere in the shot. When the next shot reveals that the
zebra is being skinned, we understand that while the hunter was not
literally causing the zebra’s leg to move, there was a deeper causal
connection between the two shakes. Kubelka’s juxtapositions are
anything but arbitrary; they reveal truths inherent in his material.
The intensely concentrated quality of Unsere Afrikareise stems in
part from the multitude of connections between image and image,
sound and sound, and image and sound that Kubelka orchestrated into
a unified whole. There is often a temptation to read direct thematic
statements in many of the film’s articulations. Editing connections are
continually made on the white hunters’ gazes, hand gestures, and gun-
pointing, linking those actions to suggest the Europeans’ aggression
toward their surroundings. Kubelka’s cuts often suggest that a Euro-
pean has just ‘‘shot’’ an African, or the forest itself. The Africans, by
contrast, appear as part of nature, rather than separate from it.
It would be a serious mistake, however, to limit one’s perception
of the film to such themes. What is most extraordinary about
Kubelka’s achievement is not the specific connections he establishes
between elements, but rather the system that the entire network of
connections form. Repeated viewings of the film reveal it as too
multiple in its implications to be resolvable into a single interpreta-
tion. Thematic results of specific articulations are merely a few
aspects of many in the film. Kubelka’s almost musical form estab-
lishes a grand relation between virtually every image and sound and
every other across the entire film. The resulting multitude of connec-
tions is expressive of many, rather than a few, possibilities. The
viewer is ultimately led out of time, to contemplate these connections
in memory, and to regard the film as if it were a monument erected as
a record of civilization, not as a statement on it but as a kind of
totem for it.

***
Les vacances de M. Hulot is one of the most radical films ever
made—the Sacre du printemps of the movies. If its radicalism has
never been fully perceived—it has entertained audiences around the
world, rather than scandalize them—it is because Les vacances is
a comedy, and everyone knows that comedies aren’t to be taken
seriously. But without Les vacances, there would be no Jean-Luc
Godard, no Jean-Marie Straub, no Marguerite Duras—no modern
cinema. With his 1953 film, Jacques Tati drove the first decisive
wedge between cinema and classical narration. To do so, Tati had to
return to the prehistory of movies—the age of Lumière, Méliès,
Porter, and their anonymous predecessors, before the story-telling
priority was firmly encoded in the way films were shot and edited—in
order to find a non-narrative way of seeing. The gaze of Tati’s camera
is, as in the earliest films, almost entirely innocent: it does not make
the value judgements, the selections of one element over another, that
force a story out of an undifferentiated world. Tati shoots without
prejudice, without priorities; he sees (or attempts to see, within the
limits of the frame) everything.
Tati pretends that D. W. Griffith never existed. He holds his shots
where the classical, story-telling grammar would demand that he cut
away to another; he prefers long shots over close-ups, the embracing
overview to the significant detail. One of the opening gags in Les
vacances involves a group of passengers running back and forth from
one train platform to another, misled by the unintelligible announce-
ments on the P.A. system as to which track their train will arrive on.
Griffith would film the scene with insert shots of passengers’ pan-
icked faces, and perhaps cut back and forth between the two tracks to
emphasize the suspense—will the passengers make their train or not?
But Tati simply mounts his camera on the roof of the station, where he
has a clear, downward overview of the whole scene, and films the
action in a single, continuous shot. As the group of travellers dashes
from the far track to the near, from background to foreground, the shot
becomes a kind of warm-up exercise for the film that is to follow: the
viewer is led to explore the entire field of the shot, from near to far and
from side to side, top to bottom. The viewer learns to direct his
attentions for himself; Tati will not make the choice for him.
The English version of Les vacances is preceded by a warning:
‘‘Don’t look for a plot, for a holiday is meant purely for fun.’’ The
disingenuous wording disguises a serious challenge to the audience—
what regular filmgoer would agree that ‘‘plot’’ and ‘‘fun’’ were
contradictory terms? For Tati, the renunciation of narrative is a liber-
ating act; M. Hulot’s holiday will also be a vacation for the viewer, 93
minutes in which we are free to follow our own impulses, and not
submit to the boss’s orders. The story-teller is no longer in charge;
there’s no one hurrying us from one event to another, telling us where
to look, when to laugh, what to feel. Tati’s film is the exact opposite of
‘‘escapist’’ entertainment, in the sense that it doesn’t relieve us of our
own emotions and perceptions. It offers another kind of escape,
perhaps a more profound one—an escape from domination, from
regimentation—a cinematic flight to freedom.
Les vacances has no plot, but it does have a structure. The film
begins and ends with images of waves washing onto an empty
beach—images of permanence, steadiness, rhythmic motion. The
steady, natural rhythm embodied by the waves is echoed in the film’s
pronounced alteration of day and night; the film thus acquires
a powerful and unique sense of real time marked by natural events.
This rhythm is never monotonous—there is also a strong sense of an
ebb and flow of energy, of movement giving way to inertia and then
regenerating itself. The day belongs to the outdoors—the open spaces
of the beach, the sea, the countryside. Morning is announced by the
beautiful blonde girl, Martine, standing on her balcony and looking
down at the world below. She confers a sort of blessing, and the world
comes into motion, energized by the lovely saxophone line of Alain
Romans’ theme music. Night belongs to the hotel, with the guests
crowded into the tiny lobby, silently reading, playing cards, or
listening to the radio. Overlaid on this natural rhythm is the human
rhythm of habit—exemplified by the ringing of the noontime dinner
bell, but reflected in a dozen specific ways in the behavior of the
minor characters—the businessman continually called away to the
phone, the English couple out for their promenade, the student
lecturing on radical politics. Repetition is a traditional comic device,
but in Les vacances, it acquires a transcendent, poetic quality; Tati
seems to have captured the heartbeat of the world.
The film’s other structuring principle is psychological. The early
sequences are concentrated on the beach and the hotel, but as these
locations lose their novelty for the guests, they wander further and
further afield—to the tennis courts, to a picnic, even (accidently) to
a funeral. Sheer boredom—the chief danger that a plotless film
invites—is thus incorporated into the film; it becomes a kind of ally,
pointing the movie in new directions. Both of these forward impulses—
repetition and boredom—are exceedingly subtle; because they oper-
ate both on the level of subject (the repetition and possible boredom of
a resort vacation) and of style (traditional comic techniques, the need
to move to a new situation when the first has become exhausted), they
are almost imperceptible.
Tati’s own character, the tall, angular, perpetually astonished M.
Hulot, is as often a straight-man to the other characters as he is
a comedian. Tati doesn’t want to foreground himself as a star or as the
center of the humor, because doing so would mean intruding too
much on the spectator’s freedom of choice (by the time of the 1967
Playtime, Hulot has almost disappeared). Hulot does not embody the
freedom of perception that the film strives for as much as he points the
way to it, through his own spectacular failures of perception. Hulot

does not see (or hear—many of the film’s most imaginative gags
involve sound) the same way the other characters do; his curse is to
constantly perceive either too little (as when he lights a match in
a storeroom full of fireworks) or too much (as when he’s paralyzed by
the fear that a wad of taffy will drop too low on its pulling hook).
Hulot is unable to control this attention—to focus his look. But in this
context, where the other characters have learned to focus their
attentions so tightly and narrowly that they are no longer able to see
and enjoy the world around them, Hulot’s handicap is a privileged
gift; in the land of the one-eyed, Tati suggests the blind man is king.
Hulot’s under- and over-perceptions pose a threat to the established
social order, which depends on a cramped restricted way of seeing.
His misadventures attract those few among the guests—a young boy,
an elderly gentleman, and briefly, the blonde girl—who aren’t part of
that order, who haven’t yet lost their innocence of vision or who have
been able to regain it. With Les vacances de M. Hulot, Tati tells us
how we can join them.

Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of
ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere
where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and
parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated,
they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of
orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges
everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they
know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for
a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang
led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters
an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from
a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common
ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes
their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which
they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will
be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter,
movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years
of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work
which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly,
this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on
a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie
about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of
time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of
children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically
received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys
of a children’s group who created their roles improvisationally in
close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children’s
acting their own fresh experience of war’s turmoil appears to be
reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the
mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs’s influence re-
vealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an
amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the
last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of
classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy’s escape, the
locomotive’s wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns,
the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt
sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are
emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of
sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanti-
cism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the

perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children’s commu-
nity. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the
castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at
that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and
other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called
attention to ‘‘formalism for its own sake’’ have been forgotten. The
masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic
images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in
the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline
the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of
the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes
Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise
into the movie’s structure, as a motive of community unification, as
an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian
film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and
euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the
strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a gen-
eral condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.

***
For French cinema, the years 1915–1922 constituted a period of
renewal. A considerable number of young filmmakers emerged with
their first works, and the basis of a highly important avant garde
movement was created. But the bulk of commercial production
continued in a solid and unadventurous way, as if France were still the
world’s leading film nation. This time of transition is symbolized by
the situation at the Gaumont studios in Paris in 1919, where 46-year-
old veteran director and head of production, Louis Feuillade, dressed
in his grey ‘‘chemist’s overalls,’’ directed alongside a 29-year-old
beginner, the ex-littérateur Marcel L’Herbier, resplendent in his
monocle and white gloves. Within this temporary co-habitation of
opposites there was, of course, only one direction in which the cinema
was moving. But if the early 1920s are aptly represented by L’Herbier’s
L’homme du large or Able Gance’s La roue, Feuillade’s Les vampires
can stand for much that was the best in French cinema from
1915 to 1916.
Feuillade had resumed his role as artistic director at Gaumont after
his release from army service in 1915. In addition to making the
obligatory patriotic films and the occasional meditation on the horrors
of war, Feuillade plunged his energies into the crime series, echoing
the success of his own Fant?mas and facing up to the new United
States competition, spear-headed by The Perils of Pauline and The
Exploits of Elaine, which was on the brink of dominating the French
market. The years 1915 to 1920 saw the appearance of five successive
series, of which the first and greatest was Les vampires, which
appeared at irregular intervals in ten parts, each constituting a self-
contained story, between 13th November 1915 and 30th June 1916.
Les vampires is strongly conditioned by the circumstances of its
shooting. Forced to work quickly and without a smoothly operating
studio machine behind him, and confronted with such strong Ameri-
can competition, Feuillade had no time to polish his scenarios or even
establish a conventional script. The stories pitted an intrepid reporter
and his comic side-kick against ever more bizarre and audacious
exploits perpetrated by a gang of criminals led by the ruthless killer
who was a master of disguise. In contrast to the American serials, Les
vampires had a dark-haired villainess, Irma Vep (an anagram of
‘‘vampire’’) played with great relish by Musidora, in place of the
innocent blonde heroine. Many of the stories, increasingly impro-
vised on the streets around the studio, give the impression of having
been started without any clear idea of how they will end. In addition,
the pressures brought on by the changing cast of players meant that
occasionally even the seemingly indestructible villain had to be
suddenly and inexplicably killed off.
It is the improvisation and incoherence which give Les vampires
its power. Continually we are confronted with moments of total
incongruity—a huge cannon is wheeled from nowhere, a whole party
of socialites is gassed, an actress killed on stage, and a character is
kidnapped by being lured to the window and lassoed from below.
Unexpected deaths and resurrections, sudden car chases or rooftop
pursuits, secret panels and spooky catacombs follow in a vivid pattern
which has clearly been orchestrated by a director who, in continuing
in the traditional style, still organizes his action in depth, with the
players facing the audience in theatrical style. It is the anarchistic
view of society, the supreme disregard of logic—so appropriate when
the old social order of Europe was crumbling under the impact of
World War I—which led André Breton and Louis Aragon to see in
Les vampires ‘‘the reality of this century. Beyond fashion. Beyond
taste.’’

There is a small handful of films that can only be accepted on their
own terms, redefining as they do audience, even formalist expecta-
tion. The boundaries between subjective and objective camera, the
chronological link inherent in editing, such as cross-cutting, assump-
tions made in relation to point of view or even a single shot, the logic
of straight narrative—all are blurred. That a film made in 1932,
especially, creates such an approach, maintained with aesthetic disci-
pline and without a hint of self-indulgence, results in an event.
Carl Dreyer was master of such works. Vampyr is one of his finest
examples, owing its unusual structure, in part, to the fact that the film
was the first he produced independently. The plot has the illusion of
simplicity. A young man, David, in one nightmarish evening, stum-
bles upon a series of unearthly events. The focus is on a young girl
whose life is slowly being drained by a vampire, aided by a sinister
village doctor. An early image of a reaper with his scythe, silhouetted,
graphically establishes the film’s preoccupation: death, its illusive-
ness, its mystery, its threat. Another scene encapsulates its theme, the
idea of innocence in struggle, transformed and transforming back,
with the curious sensuality beyond simple lust of the forbidden.
Leone, wasting away through the vampire’s continued attacks, ob-
serves her sister Gisele, first smiles with real affection, then, as the
possession begins to take, with the calculated craving for her, another
victim-to-be. Her face contorts, her lips pull back to reveal sharp
teeth—then it passes. She falls back, a pitiable, vulnerable girl, bled
not only by the monster, but by the impotence of those around her.
The scene is pivotal to the languorous rhythm; now the pace
sharpens. With David’s nightmare (his point of view), he is enclosed
in a coffin, and we, too, learn the terror of helplessly watching our
own imprisonment, the lid screwed on tightly over us, the vampire’s
face peering in with candlewax dripping on the glass lid, then the
stake in her heart (which is dismissed in only five brief shots), the
havoc created by her earthly release . . . climax. All has been
constructed almost mathematically, yet the result is curiously poetic—
Dreyer’s gift. The final retribution—David and Gisele walking to-
gether in the sunlight—is kept from cliche with cuts to the doctor’s
horrific death, being trapped in the flour mill, the gear wheels
jamming, the gasping, the smothering. (The idea was ‘‘borrowed,’’
incidentally, for the Harrison Ford film Witness, more than 50 years
later.) All is well, yet the shadowy mist remains.
One strength of Vampyr is the unfolding of what Ken Kelman
described in Film Culture (Winter 1964) as ‘‘emotional images
without adequate reason.’’ The plot provides necessary foundation,
but the events wrapped around the discovery are as elusive in
logical application as those events in our own dreams. Dreyer has
filmed an essential dream structure. There is a touch of Victor
Sj?str?m’s influence here, a director Dreyer has paid homage to. Both
the pervading otherworldliness and his use, in his only film, of
superimposition, which creates shadows and presences, is reminis-
cent of Sj?str?m’s K?rkarlen (Phantom Chariot), 1920, a film that
affected Dreyer profoundly.
Everything here underlines atmosphere; Vampyr is a calculated,
sensual nightmare. The air is misted greys and whites (black gauze
over the lens), the gait of the characters is a glide, a floating. Night and
day are confused. The dialogue is minimal, voices often muffled, odd
snatches of conversation are barely understandable, at times, dislo-
cated and difficult to recall—the way it is in dreams. Cries are
mingled with an animal’s growl, something disembodied calling, or
a strain of music. Photographer Rudolph Mate’s camera has become
almost a force on its own, not just a recorder, moving before
a character, after a noise. If a sound is heard off-screen, Dreyer allows
a moment of suspense before showing its source, so awareness is
seemingly predestined. His famed, delicately honed sensibility and
his self-critical aesthetic nature paid off in exceptional visual intui-
tion; each shot has the stamp of unusual deliberation, with long, slow
pans, even simple reaction shots, and tracking shots.
There were no specially built sets—the film was shot in a derelict
ice-factory, a deserted chateau, and a plasterworks—and, with two
exceptions, no professional actors. The characters are ‘‘ordinary’’
people and could be any of us, which makes the identification with the
emotional turmoil that much more effective. The vampire is an

elderly, rather dignified Frenchwoman (interestingly, her dress ech-
oes that of a Lutheran pastor), the young David (under the pseudonym
Julian West) is Baron von Gunzburg, the film’s backer, who couldn’t
act but could wander, perfect for the impersonal, impassive dreamer,
vacant, to be impressed upon. Only the sister, Gisele, and her father
are professionals.
With an essentially passive hero who experiences events—acting
as manifestations of the unconscious—Vampyr has something in
common with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) with it’s framing
story, but there the similarity ends. While Herman Warm was the art
designer of both films, and several scenes in the Danish film are
reminiscent of the earlier German one, Caligari’s expressionism was
proper: exaggerated acting, stylised movement and distorted sets,
photographed theatre. In his book Transcendental Style, Paul Schrader
refers to Vampyr as ‘‘an exclusively expressionistic film,’’ without
a trace of kammerspiel (‘‘chamber play’’). I don’t agree. The Nordic
sober-mindedness and ‘‘weighty psychological intent’’ lent itself
effectively to several of the latter’s ingredients: intimate, slow-paced
drama, with a deliberate symbolism and rhythm—the four walls of
kammerspiel is certainly extended, but there is at times a suffocating
intimacy nonetheless. Caligari was theatre, in shards of black and
white, but Vampyr is filmic in its purest sense, its phenomenal lighting
accentuating the otherworldliness, the myriad vague greys, mirroring
the dream-states within, blurred, shaded. Vampyr combines elements
of both expressionism and kammerspiel; Dreyer was no rigid formalist,
but experimented successfully with different styles in all of his
major works.
With the last scene combining the doctor stifled by cascades of
flour with the wandering of the two now-less-innocent figures still in
mist, out of the nightmare, Jonathan Rosenbaum writes that Dreyer
has created ‘‘an exalted realm where the natural and supernatural, the
physical and the metaphysical, can breathe the same enlightened air.’’

Pier Paolo Pasolini was one of the most controversial and fascinat-
ing of modern Italian filmmakers, and his films covered a wide
variety of subjects and cinematic styles. He once described himself
appropriately as a pasticheur, one who selected ‘‘items, objects and
even styles from here and there.’’ A writer, poet, critic, and filmmaker,
as well as an avowed Marxist, atheist, and homosexual, it is ironic that
Pasolini made what many hailed as ‘‘the best life of Jesus Christ ever
placed on film.’’ The Gospel According to St. Matthew is the exact
antithesis of Hollywood-produced biblical spectacles: a stark, aus-
tere, realistic, almost documentary re-enactment of the story of Christ.
Pasolini was drawn to St. Matthew’s Gospel because he found it
‘‘rigorous, demanding and absolute’’ as opposed to Mark’s version,
which was ‘‘too obviously written for people of little education’’; or
Luke who was ‘‘too literary and mellifluous’’; or John who was ‘‘too
much a mystic to be transmitted visually.’’ Pasolini chose to use the
dialogue intact from Matthew, using a ‘‘standard Catholic translation
to avoid polemics,’’ with two exceptions from Isaiah: one where
Christ is walking with the Apostles in Calabria prior to the investiture
of Peter, and the other where Christ dies. Pasolini was quick to point
out that ‘‘the whole of Matthew is full of quotes from Isaiah, so I felt
that was fair enough.’’
This is not to say that Pasolini simply presented a literal translation
of Matthew’s text. His interpretation is a molding of that narrative
with changes in chronology, some omissions, and some inventions,
such as his version of Salome’s dance. When he first began to shoot
the film, Pasolini used the same ‘‘reverential’’ camera technique he
had used with Accatone, but suddenly realized that approach was
‘‘gilding the lily.’’ After just two days, he thought of abandoning the
project, then opted for a technique comparable to cinéma vérité, using
VARIETEFILMS, 4
th
EDITION
1275
a hand-held camera and zoom shots to create a documentary-like
realism.
For the physical background of the film, Pasolini used the impov-
erished landscape and villages of southern Italy, which he found to be
analogous to those of Palestine where he had visited prior to making
the film. For the background music, he chose an electric combination
that complimented his unorthodox approach to the film as a whole.
The major contribution to the successful sense of realism was his
use of non-professionals as actors. On many occasions Pasolini had
said, ‘‘I choose actors because of what they are as human beings, not
because of what they can do . . . I steal from them; I use their reality.’’
He particularly wanted no recognizable stars doing cameo turns in
this interpretation of Christ’s story, so his actors came from various
walks of life. ‘‘Judas is a Roman truck driver,’’ he said. ‘‘The Virgin
Mary is my mother. Joseph is a lawyer and John the Baptist is a poet.
I pick them for what they are; I ask them to play themselves.’’
Likewise, for the pivotal role of Jesus Christ, Pasolini selected
Enrique Irazoqui, a student from Barcelona who was visiting Rome.
His voice was then dubbed in Italian by Enrico Maria Salerno.
Pasolini set out to create a ‘‘purely poetical and natural, non-
denominational’’ version of the life of Christ and, despite his reputa-
tion as a Marxist and atheist, the critical reception was highly
favorable, with some claiming it to be the finest biblical film ever
made. Especially cited were the wonderful faces of the non-actors and
Pasolini’s pictorial recreation of tableaux inspired by the works of
such painters as Botticelli, Rouault, Masaccio, and Piero della Francesca.
As a self-proclaimed non-believer, Pasolini had castigated the
dying Pope Pius XII, and stated later that had Pius lived three or four
more years he would never have been allowed to make this film. In
gratitude for the new climate brought about by the new pope, The
Gospel According to St. Matthew is dedicated to ‘‘the dear, familiar
memory of John XXIII.’’

of technical expertise that liberated the stationary camera. It is

a stunning example of montage, with overlapping dissolves perfectly
executed—prior to the invention of the optical printing process.
The storyline of Variety is standard: on one level, the film is just
a predictable melodrama, with characters who are more types than
three-dimensional personalities. Middle-aged trapeze artist Emil
Jannings leaves wife and child for a younger woman. He is cuckolded
and later jailed for murdering her lover. The scenario unravels in
flashback, as Jannings tells the warden his tragedy. (This character is
a sexual victim, a fate shared by Professor Unrath in The Blue Angel
and August Schiller in The Way of All Flesh—roles also played by
Jannings.)
In Variety, the ordinary becomes the extraordinary in that the film
is a technical tour de force, highlighted by exceptional editing and
unusually striking camera movements and angles. Cinematographer
Karl Freund’s camera is flexible. He even sets it on a trapeze,
photographing from a swinging position the actors’ expressions of
feelings. The camera becomes the conscience of the characters, who
exist in a world of phoney glamor, two-bit circuses and decadent
music halls, and, finally, in the case of Jannings, a cheerless prison.
As the scenario unravels, the cutting from shot to shot suggests the
changes in their points of view.
There is also a superior use of subjective camera, allowing the
audience to be involved in the action. As an acrobat plunges to his
death, the camera drops from a high wire directly into the faces of the
collectively frightened members of the audience. Dramatic tension is
enhanced by low-angle shots, and multiple exposures.
While directing a season of vaudeville in Mannheim, E. A. Dupont
was summoned by Erich Pommer to the UFA studio to direct Variety.
Originally, F. W. Murnau was set to make the film but, according to
Freund, Pommer felt he lacked the appropriate passion for the project.
Dupont had originally wanted to shoot the film utilizing mostly
compositional shots; it was Freund’s input that convinced the filmmaker
to perfect the method that made Variety so extraordinary. In this
regard, Variety is as much a work of art by Karl Freund as E. A.
Dupont. The cinematographer was a master of lighting and move-
ment: he had also shot The Last Laugh for Murnau (also starring
Jannings), Metropolis for Fritz Lang, and later such Hollywood
classics as Dracula, Camille, The Good Earth, Pride and Prejudice,
and Key Largo. Variety breaks away from the Expressionist cinema
then popular in Germany, and can be seen as the official starting point
of an era that became increasingly characterized by realism. But the
characters still exist in a quite unreal environment. The film is

a psychological drama, with action based not on externals but
thoughts and feelings.
Variety was an international hit; particularly in the United States,
the film was both a critical and commercial smash. Most significant of
all, it served as a model for an entire generation of filmmakers.

El verdugo was the eighth feature film written and directed by
Luis García Berlanga in collaboration with his longtime associate,
Rafael Azcona. The story pivots upon the fate of a pleasant, if
somewhat timid, young undertaker whose dream is to go to Germany
and become a mechanic. This dream is thwarted when he happens to
meet the executioner in a prison where both of them are plying their
trade. In spite of the aversion that the young man (and everyone else)
feels for the executioner, he not only ends up marrying the execu-
tioner’s daughter, but even takes over his father-in-law’s business.
El verdugo is a farce or domestic comedy filled with macabre
touches and scenes of black humor in which the taboos associated
with death are transgressed. Even the actual mode of execution is the
VERTIGO FILMS, 4
th
EDITION
1278
subject of morbid jokes as the executioner, who garrots his victims,
measures the neck size of his future son-in-law. The film is punctu-
ated with these bits of gallows humor as well as with comic reversals
that take the audience by surprise. A particularly fine example occurs
at the end of the movie when the young executioner is carried kicking
and screaming like the victim into the prison where he will perform
his first execution. El verdugo shows that the biting black humor that
we have come to associate with Bu?uel is, in more general terms,
a Spanish characteristic.
Berlanga’s irreverent treatment of death is symptomatic of a tend-
ency found in all of his movies—to poke fun at pomposity and
pretensions, and to deflate generally accepted values and beliefs. At
the same time that El verdugo is highly entertaining, it also has
a message that was vaguely subversive in Franco’s Spain in the early
1960s. In one sense, the movie is about two outcasts, the undertaker
and the executioner’s daughter, both of whom are avoided by every-
one. When they join together, it is with the hope of having a better life.
But as Berlanga demonstrates, these hopes cannot be realized. Like
other Berlanga protagonists, the undertaker becomes caught up in
a destiny which he did not choose. He is a victim of innocent
concessions made along the way that ultimately lead him to be
sentenced to his fate of becoming the executioner. He is the true
victim, the one who is strangled in a web of circumstances beyond his
control, caught up in the system of justice and retribution that is all
encompassing. In the context of Franco’s Spain, the ideological
dimensions of this message are clear. As the executioner tells his son-
in-law, where there’s a law, someone has to enforce it; someone has to
do the dirty work. Perhaps that was Berlanga’s way of saying that in
a dictatorial regime, whether they are willing or not, men are coerced
into aiding and abetting the status quo.

Not particularly successful at the time of its release, Vertigo has
come to be recognized as one of Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest films,
where his profounder obsessions are reinforced by his technical
inventiveness. It can be argued that Hitchcock’s ‘‘greatness’’ comes
only from the accident that his recurring obsession with voyeurism is
the topic that best meshes with the ontology of the filmgoing
experience. In any case, the longstanding argument over the superior-
ity of his British vs. American periods looks to have been settled in
favor of the latter. The less savory aspects of Hitchcock’s life revealed
since his death come as little surprise if Rear Window, Vertigo, and
Psycho are seen as a supreme voyeuristic trilogy.
The Peeping Toms in these films progress through ever-greater
distress—from the ostensibly healthy (if significantly broken-legged)
James Stewart with his telephoto lens in Rear Window through the
psychotic Anthony Perkins with his motel peephole in Psycho. If
Stewart’s Scotty Ferguson, the private eye in Vertigo, is more
fascinating than either, it’s because he’s so precariously balanced
between their psychic states. A former police detective who’s devel-
oped a pathological fear of heights since being responsible for the
fatal fall of a fellow officer, Scotty is institutionalized for a year in the
middle of the film after assuming (wrongly) that his ‘‘weakness’’ (as
the coroner puts it) prevented him from stopping the suicidal leap of
the woman he was hired to protect and with whom he’s fallen in love.
The film ends at the moment of her ‘‘second’’ death. It’s as bleak
a conclusion as in any American film of its decade; Psycho is a rich
comedy in comparison.
The voyeuristic impulse behind Hitchcock’s style is most immedi-
ately evident in the tourist sensibility that pervades his American
films—a tourist will keep his careful distance from the grit of the
world. Here, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of the Legion of
Honor, Podesta’s flowershop, Ernie’s restaurant, Coit Tower, Fort
Point, the Palace of Fine Arts make up San Francisco’s slick surface
through Robert Burks’s sharp-edged Technicolor. Hitchcock’s silent
film mastery pays off in the scenes involving Scotty’s extended
tailing of Madeleine, accompanied by Bernard Herrmann’s haunt-
ing score.
Vertigo extends this passive, tourist’s world into more intimate
levels. The film’s plotline is the hokiest of ghost stories (‘‘Do you
believe that someone out of the past, someone dead, can take
possession of a living being?’’), but it soon moves into tragedy
through flaws wrought by sexual obsession. The highly charged,
pivotal scene comes quite late: Scotty has met a woman who reminds
him of his dead love (in fact, she is the same woman—her fabricated
‘‘death’’ having been the cover for a man’s murder of his wife). They
return to his bachelor apartment after an increasingly uncomfortable
afternoon of buying clothes to make the woman resemble her previ-
ous incarnation. Judy’s plea, spoken almost to herself, is: ‘‘Couldn’t
you like me, just me, the way I am?’’ What looks for an instant like
Scotty’s gaze of reciprocated love is instead his revelation of the key
for her complete transformation: ‘‘The color of your hair!’’ The scene
lurches forward into an ultimate degradation, as Judy agrees to
remake her brunette-shopgirl self into the (Hitchcockian) blonde ice-
goddess, with tailored grey suit and tightly bound hair. The scene, and
the whole film, is the essence of the Hitchcockian sexuality—that is,
sexuality only exists as obsession, one that degrades women and
literally deranges men. In Vertigo, Hitchcock does manage to be
pointed about the ironies of this quest: Scotty looks longingly at other
blondes in harsh grey suits even while dining with a vibrant incarna-
tion of the woman he ‘‘loves.’’ In a sense, he gets just what he
deserves.
The film’s genius is depicting such perversity as merely circum-
stance-crossed love. In other words, its genius is in revealing the
perversity behind accepted ‘‘normal’’ practices. What’s so odd about
men redressing their women? Or in women remaking themselves in
the adored image? Judy’s plea puts it embarrassingly straight: ‘‘If I let
you change me, will that do it? Will you love me?’’ Traditional sexual
politics swells into a grand grotesque, a Chinese-box melodrama of
tricks and betrayals. The scenario itself is complicated and inconsis-
tent, but the repeated motifs in the dialogue (‘‘Please try!’’ ‘‘It’s too
late.’’) tie the disconnected love-pairings into the tightest of nets.
Hitchcock is typically cruel to plain Midge, with her patient, enduring

love for Scotty. Her explanation of cantilevered brassieres is a woman’s
anti-mystery, pathetically commonplace next to Madeleine’s appar-
ent possession by the dead. Madeleine’s feigned obsession presages
Scotty’s genuine necrophilia. (And, as in Psycho, the psychiatrist
can’t strip away the necessary layers—the problem is more than the
‘‘acute melancholia, complicated by a guilt complex’’ offered as
a diagnosis or explanation of the problem.)
It’s easy enough to appreciate the best of Hitchcock’s films, and to
be jolted by them, but Vertigo stands alone in its ability to move
audiences emotionally. Perhaps the events are uncharacteristically
heartbreaking because both Scotty and Madeline/Judy are caught in
another, grander (and almost unseen) male power-play: Gavin’s
murder of his wife, his betrayal of his friend Scotty, and his abandon-
ment of his accomplice Judy. A bookseller, echoing Gavin’s words
(and his actions), tells the tale of the original Carlotta being ‘‘thrown
away’’ by her husband: ‘‘A man could do that in those days. He had
the power and the freedom.’’ On its visceral level, Vertigo succeeds
because of James Stewart’s explosive fury in the climax in the
belltower, a betrayed idealist’s fury practiced in his Frank Capra films
and mastered through his Anthony Mann westerns.
It’s remarkable that, considering all its plot twists, Vertigo should
work even better after a first viewing. Once the secret’s out, it’s
a completely different film, and a better one; no longer a harrowing
ghost story, it is a profound study of sexual obsession, tied together by
the city that best displays the essential acrophobic metaphor.

***
The five films that Rossellini made with Ingrid Bergman between
1950 and 1955 have still to receive their due recognition in the Anglo-
Saxon world. The ridicule that was heaped on Stromboli can be
largely attributed to the ‘‘scandal’’ of their personal relationship:
more specifically, to the shock of the American public (and the
critical establishment) on discovering that Bergman, who had become
a national icon of female ‘‘niceness,’’ was actually a woman with
autonomous sexual desires and professional aspirations. The continu-
ing neglect of the films outside circumscribed academic circles must
be attributed to the overwhelming dominance of expectations of the
‘‘realistic’’ (something quite distinct from ‘‘realism’’): most obvi-
ously, the use of post-synchronization is likely always to remain
a problem, with Rossellini’s indifference to the nationality of his
actors ensuring that in every version of every film some performers
will be patently dubbed. Beyond that (but not unconnected with it) is
the uncertainty (a crucial manifestation of the films’ distinction) as to
what exactly they are really about. The aim of neo-realism in its early
phase was the ‘‘truthful’’ depiction of contemporary social realities in
as immediate and unmediated a way as possible. Yet the early neo-
realist films (Rome, Open City, Bicycle Thieves, etc.), for all the
quasi-documentary ambitions and the frequent use of non-professionals,
are always patently acted and are always patently fictions: the
‘‘reality’’ we are invited to scrutinize is a constructed one. Rome,
Open City can be seen to draw on a whole array of cinematic
conventions, schemata, and stereotypes (one extended sequence even
evokes Hitchcock). As he developed, Rossellini seems to have found
such a method and aesthetic increasingly suspect, and the notion of
‘‘filming the reality in front of the camera’’ acquires a new dimen-
sion. That ‘‘reality’’ (or a significant aspect of it) consists, after all, of
a group of actors speaking constructed dialogue. Is Viaggio in Italia
a film about a woman called Katherine Joyce (British upper-middle-
class, with an undisguised and unexplained Swedish accent) or an
actress called Ingrid Bergman? While never directly autobiographi-
cal, Bergman’s roles in the Rossellini films invariably make oblique
reference to aspects of her life, and Rossellini’s demand for spontane-
ity (handing the actors their lines—or simply a rough indication of
what they were to talk about—immediately before the take, allowing
no time for rehearsal, refusing to permit more than an absolute
minimum of retakes) was clearly motivated by the desire that she
reveal herself rather than act a character.
This clearly troubles our relationship to the character on the
screen. On one level, Bergman’s characters are always our primary
identification-figures: in Viaggio, we discover Italy as Bergman
discovers it, sharing her experiences. Yet identification is constantly
disturbed. Scene after scene returns us from what Katherine sees to
Katherine seeing it: are we studying ‘‘Italy’’ with her, or studying her
with ‘‘Italy’’ as catalyst? Then there is the question of our relation-
ship to the film’s Italy (a very selective Italy). On one level, Kathe-
rine’s journey is as banal as possible: she is offered all the obvious
sightseeing attractions (famous sculptures, catacombs, Pompeii), and
the banality is emphasized by the recurrent use of tour guides
monotonously reciting their standard commentaries. Yet through
(and beyond) the banality Katherine reaches a transcendent experi-
ence that transforms her perception of reality—an experience that
remains unarticulated in any explicit manner, but which we are
invited both to share and to understand.
Early neo-realist theory and practice suggest that the movement
was strongly committed to the depiction of the material world, of
contemporary social/political actuality. What came to obsess Rossellini,
however, was the possibility of revealing the spiritual through the
strict presentation of the material and physical. The cinema has
constructed a whole panoply of signifiers of ‘‘spiritual experience’’:
a rhetoric of acting, music, lighting, focus, big close-ups, special
effects. Rossellini, knowing that the spiritual can only be implied,
never shown, rigorously eschews all such rhetoric, employing the
simplest, seemingly transparent methodology. Katherine/Bergman is
brought into contact with all those fundamentals of existence from
which in our daily lives we try to insulate ourselves: the terrifying
power and mysteriousness of nature; otherness; time, transcience,
eternity; death. Her experience is conveyed to us obliquely, through
the structuring of sequence upon sequence, culminating in her climac-
tic utterance at Pompeii (on paper, a line of staggering banality, in its
context one of the cinema’s supreme moments), ‘‘Life is so short.’’
The context (which is that of the entire film) transforms a cliché into
a felt and lived essential truth.
The perfunctoriness of the ending (an apparent religious miracle,
paralleled by the ‘‘miracle’’ of the couple’s reconciliation) is often
found problematic. It is helpful to recall that Rossellini and Bergman
went on to make La paura (Fear), for which Rossellini shot two quite
different (and contradictory) endings. As there, the ending of Viaggio
is an admission of uncertainty as to what may happen: no guarantee is
offered that the couple’s problems have been resolved, or that the
reconciliation is more than momentary. One might say that the film
doesn’t really end: it just stops.

Victim is one of an impressive series of social problem films that
Basil Dearden directed and Michael Relph produced between 1944
and 1963. Stylistically (and morally) they change very little, and to
the radical young critics of the early 1960s Dearden and Relph
epitomised everything that was wrong with British cinema. Accord-
ing to Victor Perkins, ‘‘Their method is to devise a number of
stereotypes to represent every possible attitude to the matter in hand.
. . . Thus in Sapphire and Victim, Basil Dearden and his scriptwriter
Janet Green have produced thriller-problem films that work neither as
thrillers nor as examinations of a problem, and particularly not as
films.’’ It is hardly a recommendation that Dearden and Relph were
smiled on by the industry and liked by the more conservative critics,
but now that the heat of battle has died down it is possible to see
considerable virtues in their work—a civilised tolerance, a shrewd
ability to combine exciting narrative stories with a less than superfi-
cial analysis of serious social problems, and a particular ability to
probe and prod at English sexual repression.
Victim was the second of Dearden’s and Relph’s three collaborations
with the talented scriptwriter Janet Green and the first British film to
deal seriously and openly with homosexuality. The film takes its
cue from the 1957 Wolfendon Report, which recommended the
decriminalisation of homosexuality between consenting adults—
proposals that were not enacted by Parliament until 1968. In its efforts
not to be exploitative and sensational, Victim makes the lives of
homosexuals seem sad, drab, pathetic. As one of the despairing
victims puts it, ‘‘nature played me a dirty trick . . . tell them there’s no
magic cure for how we are.’’ Gay writers like Richard Dyer and Andy
Medhurst, while acutely aware of the film’s limitations, have also
seen good things in it—particularly Dirk Bogarde’s portrayal of
a man whose love, however deeply repressed, is reserved for other men.
Stylistically the film is much more distinguished than it has been
given credit for. Dearden and Relph—and the veteran art director
Alex Vetchinsky—make good use of the opportunity to break out of
the studio and explore a hitherto unseen London. The Salisbury,
a glittering Edwardian pub in St. Martin’s Lane, well known even
then as a gay meeting-place, is used effectively as the focal point of
the film’s homosexual community; and Otto Heller’s lighting is
superbly effective in creating a world that is always precarious and
vaguely threatening. Perkins is right in the sense that all the characters—
with the notable exception of Bogarde’s sexually ambivalent hero—
are stereotypes, but they are stereotypes who are cleverly deployed to
get across the film’s message that homosexuals are ordinary people
from all walks of life rather than sub-criminal freaks.
Finally, though, it is the relationship between Bogarde and Sylvia
Syms that now seems to give the film a dark resonance entirely
missing from, for example, the Warner Brothers social problem films
of the 1930s. In earlier British films like Brief Encounter, The
Passionate Friends, and Mandy, it is women’s sexuality that is the
problem, as repressed but passionate women become discontented
with their dull, drab husbands. In Victim it is Bogarde who is unable to
adjust, tempted away from his dutiful, attractive wife by a passion that
is all the more real because it is inappropriate to his career, his status,
and his peace of mind.

***
Nelson Pereira dos Santos is rightly considered the father of
Brazil’s Cinema Novo movement. With his first two films, Rio 40
graus (1956) and Rio Zona Norte (1957) influenced by Italian neo-
realism, he started to sow the seeds of a film industry with a social
conscience, resolving to portray the lifestyles of the country’s most
disadvantaged populations. His fifth film, Vidas Secas (Barren Lives),
acclaimed at Cannes in 1964, together with Deus e O Diabo na Terra
do Sol (Black God, White Devil), by Glauber Rocha, firmly estab-
lished the Cinema Novo as an innovative trend in cinematography.
That said, the relevance and eloquence of Vidas Secas transcend
the limits of the Cinema Novo movement. Notwithstanding its
distinctly regional placement in the dry lands of Northeastern Brazil
and its setting in the 1940s, it shares the timeless universal drama of
poverty-stricken landless people who are obliged to move to the big
cities in the hopes of a better life. For its piercingly realistic portrayal
of this universal problem, Vidas Secas takes its place of honour not
only as a masterpiece of Brazilian filmmaking, but on the interna-
tional scene as well.
The film opens with an extreme long shot showing a stretch of
desolate and arid countryside under a beating sun. From the distance
a couple, their two children, and their dog slowly approach, heralded
by the grating noise of the wheel of an ox-drawn wagon. There is
nothing in this scene—the countryside, the light, the obvious poverty
of the protagonists, the exasperatingly grating noise of the wagon
wheel—to soothe the eyes or ears of the viewer. Its raw realism is
transmitted quite naturally and without apology. The economy of the
opening shot of Vidas Secas—which will persist throughout the
narrative—reflects the perfect harmony between the style of the
production and what it sought to portray. It is, in all senses, a frugal
film and therein lies its strength.
Although the intention with Vidas Secas was to join the national
debate on the subject of agrarian reform, Nelson Pereira dos Santos
had no need of didacticisms or political language in order to get his
message across and, likewise, discarded any sentimentality in the
film’s approach to the problem. He based the film on the Graciliano
Ramos novel by the same name, which although written in 1938
remained topical in 1964—as it does, in dramatic terms, thirty years
on. Among the film’s merits is its fidelity to the spirit of Graciliano
Ramos’s text, with its concise style and literary qualities. (A return to
the writings of Graciliano Ramos would yield another great moment
in the career of Nelson Pereira dos Santos with Memórias do Cárcere,
in 1983.)
Vidas Secas follows two years in the life of a family whose poverty
and limitations are extreme, both in terms of their ability to express
themselves and even in terms of their ability to survive. The family
consists of Sinhá Vitória (Maria Ribeiro) and Fabiano (átila Iório),
two children (acted by the juveniles Gilvan and Genivaldo), and
Baleia (whale), the dog. All they possess they carry on their backs, as
they search for a little patch of land on which to settle. They come
upon an abandoned farm, where Fabiano will work as a cow hand for
just over a year. In this time, the family will experience some small
advances and many humiliating set-backs, mainly due to Fabiano.
Due to his ingenuousness and lack of understanding, Fabiano will be
exploited by the owner of the farm, and forbidden by the ‘‘authori-
ties’’ to sell his pathetic produce. Goaded by a soldier, Fabiano loses
his money at gambling, and ends up in prison, where he is beaten. His
only way out would be to join a band of outlaws, at the invitation of
a cell mate. This he refuses to do: he is a good man, and wants only to
live in peace with his family.
Surrender to social rules that are unfair or nonexistent is allied to
impotence in the face of the ceaselessly blazing sun, drying up the
land and the rivers, producing hunger and thirst, killing people and
animals. To portray this desolate scenario, Nelson Pereira dos Santos
sought to catch ‘‘the true light of the Northeast.’’ Filming took place
under the most natural conditions possible, with no filters, using, as
the director explained, ‘‘God’s light.’’ The resulting over-exposure
creates a suffocating atmosphere, which on several occasions seems
to blind not only the protagonists but the viewer as well.
With authenticity and frugality as its touchstones, the camera—
often hand held and subjective—reveals the daily existence of a fam-
ily that can never be inserted into a ‘‘normal’’ social context, seen,
most of the time, through the eyes of its members—including the dog.
In its admirable austerity, Vidas Secas is a pungent treatise on aridity.
The aridity is in the landscapes, in the hopelessness of the family’s
prospects, and in the relationships between the members of the
family. It is present also in cruel details, such as in the scene in which
Sinhá Vitória strangles the family parrot before cooking it for food,
remarking, ‘‘he couldn’t even talk.’’
Ironically, the lack of dialogue is one of the features of the film,
true to Graciliano Ramos’s novel. On several occasions, Sinhá Vitória
and Fabiano say that they don’t live as ‘‘real people’’ do. The woman
dreams of exchanging her bed of dried twigs for one of leather, a bed
such as ‘‘real people’’ might have. In a rare attempt at dialogue as
they sit by the campfire, Sinhá Vitória and Fabiano actually talk to
themselves more than to each other. They rarely touch each other, and
their smiles and expressions of affection are directed not at each other
but at the dog, which in a further irony, is treated in a ‘‘human’’ way in
such an inhuman setting. (The very lifelike scene in which the dog
dies inflamed the animal protection societies during the Cannes
Festival of 1964. To prove that no murder had taken place, Baleia—a
bitch, in fact—was taken to the Festival and accorded star treatment.)
The children are also largely silent, except for one of the boys who
repeatedly asks ‘‘what is hell?’’ ‘‘It is a hot place, where people go
when they are condemned,’’ replies his mother. With extreme sobri-
ety and maturity, Nelson Pereira dos Santos showed that hell was in

the dry lands of the Northeast, and is inhabited by thousands of
Fabianos and Sinhás Vitória, who make for the big cities in order to
become ‘‘real people.’’ They continue to do so to this day.

Viridiana is the most atypical of Luis Bu?uel’s films. If he had set
out deliberately to antagonize and shock a whole school of faith, he
certainly did it in this film, which, while it was his undoubted
masterpiece, concealed a bomb that made it impossible for him ever
to return to his native land, Spain.
Not that he wanted to. Viridiana was a film he had to make in order
to free himself, to let the world know that he was not in idle jest when
he broke away from his Roman Catholic faith. The score he had to
settle with the Church must have been building for a long, long time. It
took over 60 years for him to declare himself utterly free. He was
always regarded as the great iconoclast of his time; no director was as
unpredictable; but few would have guessed how deep was his hatred
for Roman Catholicism.
When the Spanish Civil War was concluded and Spain had settled
down to a forgiving and let-it-be-forgotten peace, he, as Spain’s
greatest film director, was invited by Franco’s minister of culture to
return to his native country and make whatever film he chose with the
blessing of Franco. Nobody, even his co-workers, knew that he was
planning so defiantly an anti-Catholic film as Viridiana. He always
worked rapidly once he had begun and, in no time, he had finished
shooting his picture and was safely across the Pyrenees, with the
whole of his film smuggled out ahead of him. Franco raged, destroy-
ing the out-take films deliberately and tantalizingly left behind; he
dismissed his minister of culture, and cursed the day he had ever
trusted a faithless Spaniard who knew too much for Franco’s good. It
was not long before Spain acknowledged that it had been betrayed by
its priesthood during the Civil War, and put its trust in its young, who
had not seen their country go to the devil in the name of God
and Franco.
Viridiana is basically the story of innocence betrayed and lost. The
heroine, Viridiana, has completed her novitiate and is about to enter
the Church forever, when her Mother Superior persuades her to pay
a farewell visit to Don Jaime, her uncle, who had paid for her
education and entry into the service of God. Although Viridiana
consents to the visit, she has always loathed her uncle because he has
never shown her the slightest affection. He is very rich, however, and
she is persuaded that she must see him one last time before she takes
her farewell of the world and its ways.
Don Jaime, to her surprise, is affectionate and charming, and lets
her know that she is the very image of his dead wife, for whom he still
maintains a kind of necrophiliac passion. He has a handsome illegiti-
mate son named Jorge, who is attracted to the young and innocent
Viridiana, but is willing to bide his time. Besides, he has brought
a mistress of his own to his uncle’s estate.
Don Jaime is able to drug Viridiana’s wine, and later steals into her
bedroom to look upon her as she lies happily unconscious. She is so
devoted to Jesus that she wears a crown of thorns and a huge wooden
crucifix. She is clothed only in a simple shift. Don Jaime, in a trance,
utters his wife’s name, removes the crown and crucifix that the girl
wears, and brutally rapes her while she lies senseless before him.
Consumed by guilt, he then hangs himself.
Viridiana, recovering consciousness, realizes sadly that she is not
without guilt herself, for she has blinded herself to the realities of the
world; she formally rejects the vows she had made, and returns to the
estate she has inherited with Jorge, hoping to make her peace with
God. Still imbued with a crippled kind of faith, she takes it upon
herself to rescue a band of castaway and diseased gypsy beggars,
inviting them to become workers on the land she inherited with Jorge.
They work the land lazily, and at night they indulge themselves in
one of the most defiant orgies ever filmed. It is sacrilegious if one is
a Christian, which Bu?uel was pleased to say he was not. The
drunken, diseased beggars stage a supper scene that is a deliberate
parody of the grouping in Da Vinci’s painting of ‘‘The Last Supper.’’
They dance grotesquely, entertaining themselves lewdly to the thun-
der of the ‘‘Hallelujah Chorus.’’
The picture Bu?uel made of his country’s plight is replete with
symbolism of what Spain had become, a warning of what it might be
in a world gone mad. The only moral salvation the film hints at is
a hope that in a reformed Viridiana and a wiser, less destructive Jorge
there may be the seed for a new generation of Spain, cut clean away
from the ancient hypocrisies bred in the Church. His heroine comes of
age, and realizing the falseness of her onetime faith, pledges herself to
a new life that may embrace complete freedom.
Viridiana may be a compelling shocker, but it is also a beautifully
made picture with wonderful visuals, and the shock it gives may be
virtually necessary to its meaning. Bu?uel himself expressed it well
when he said, ‘‘The sense of film is this: that we do not live in the best
of all possible worlds.’’ He was never afraid to show people how
vicious and contemptible they are. When it is all over, Viridiana sits
playing cards, listening to rock-and-roll music with her uncle’s

In the rare company of such films as Marnie and Il deserto rosso,
Cries and Whispers fuses its meaning to its controlled use of color.
Brilliantly simple, it is a film of reds, even punctuated with red-outs
rather than darkening fades. Opening with crepuscular light in the
sculpture garden of a 19th-century mansion, the film moves quickly
indoors where it settles, with a single exterior flashback, until its
epilogue. The house is remarkable for its red upholstery: richly
saturated red walls and furnishings set off the white gowns in which
three sisters, Agnes, Karin, and Maria, and their servant Anna, dress
themselves following the model of their dead mother who appears in
a flashback. Agnes lies dying, apparently of a cancer of the womb or
stomach. After her death the white motif shifts to black. Perhaps the
most brilliant and simple act of color organization comes from the
dramatic placement of a final flashback motivated by Anna’s reading
in Agnes’s diary (after her death) of an ecstatic afternoon of lush

autumnal colors. The natural effulgence is all the more striking for
being reserved and isolated at the end of the film.
In the film’s dramatic center, where the logic of dreams holds
sway, the corpse of Agnes elicits comfort from the three surviving
women. Anna alone cradles the dead body in an image that suggests
a Pietà, but shows as well a full breast beside the ‘‘dead’’ face
incapable of earthly nurture. As Mater Dolorosa, the servant has
a religious faith in the liminality of death itself. This is consistent with
the very first sight we get of her early in the film, waking and praying
beside the fetishes of her dead daughter.
An elaborate linkage of gestures, both rhyming and reversing,
throughout the film suggests that the different characters are vectors
of a single fantasy system that generates its narrative complexity by
scattering and redistributing its aspects among imagined persons who
are in essence a single haunting presence. Anna is as much the absent
mother as is Maria (Liv Ullmann plays both her and the mother); even
the miserable Karin (named after the filmmaker’s own mother) is her
most threatening face.
The men of the film are all shadowy figures for the dead, radically
absent father. Alternately fierce and weak, they underline the missing
male presence in Agnes’s life. The doctor, Maria’s sometime lover,
and Karin’s husband, Frederick, represent the punishing power of
musculinity, while Maria’s suicidal husband and a minister illustrate
male weakness as self-absorption.
Within the visual and color economy of the film the wound of
Maria’s husband (who stabs himself in the stomach reacting to her
hint that she has slept with the doctor) is part of a covert symbolical
equation with broken glass Karin inserts in her vagina (apparently to
deny her husband sex) and their ultimate visual echo: a red book held
against the mother’s dress (in a memory flashback) as a displaced
menstrual stain. In this dreamlike, liminal world of the metamorphic
woman, fusing fantasies of defloration, menstruation, and castration,
the four men are versions of masculine self-hatred in sadistic and
masochistic registers.
We know from Bergman’s autobiography the fetishistic impor-
tance he gives to the magic lantern. In the flashback of the mother
there is a magic lantern version of Hansel and Gretel. Here the magic
lantern represents simultaneously the gift of fairy tales, and thereby
the psychic-defense machinery for exteriorizing infantile and oedipal
terrors, and the gift of cinema for the incipient filmmaker. The oral
gratification and oral aggression at the core of the fairy tale are
prominent components of Bergman’s film, whose very title brackets

speech with labial (whispers) and dental (cries) suggestions. Maria’s
seduction of the doctor involves a sensual and somewhat greedy scene
of eating; in direct contrast, the silent meal of Karin and Frederick, in
which she spills wine and denies him sexual pleasure, precedes the
horrific mutilation of her genitals, and that too ends with her rubbing
the blood on her mouth and laughing; Agnes vomits, and Anna goes
through the motions of breast-feeding her. Maria fulfills the role of
the fairy-tale mother who fails to care for her children and abandons
them to the forest. But in Anna we have the all-giving mother who has
lost her daughter.
The lesson of Hansel and Gretel, according to Bruno Bettleheim,
is that the child must learn to curb his infantile desires and win self-
sufficiency through his own ingenuity. The ingenuity of Cries and
Whispers is the Orphic transformation of terror into art, of the loss of
the mother into the musical richness of autumnal color and the self-
sufficiency of memory.

***
After Lo sceicco bianco, which despite its formal brilliance was
a critical and financial failure, Fellini found himself unable to obtain
backing for La strada, already in scenario form. Together with
scenarists Ennio Flaiano and Tullio Pinelli, he devised the story of the
prankish middle-class youths—or vitelloni (meaning literally ‘‘big
slabs of veal’’)—that he remembered from his Romagnan boyhood.
Having high opinions of their limited talents, these aging provincial
good-for-nothings prefer banding together to amuse themselves at the
expense of their neighbors in lieu of settling down into responsible
lifestyles and the work they consider demeaning.
The film focuses on the lives of five buddies, drawn with the
profound social observation of a great satirist. Each must come to
terms with the inevitable alienation that they face when confronted
with their worthlessness and with the bleakness of their futures.
Alberto, the saddest of the group, lives with his mother and is
supported by his sister. He tries desperately to remain an adolescent
for everyone except his sister to whom he acts the commanding
brother and man of the family. Against his will, his sister elopes,
leaving him to become the breadwinner. Fausto, the handsome Don
Juan of the group, is coerced into marrying Moraldo’s sister whom he
has gotten pregnant; however, he doesn’t hesitate to abandon his new
wife at the movies to pursue the woman in the seat next to him. Fausto
loses his job in a religious statuary shop (a typical Fellini touch of
VIVRE SA VIEFILMS, 4
th
EDITION
1293
uncommon satirical depth) after trying to seduce the owner’s wife.
Through Alberto and Fausto, Fellini comments on the predatory
nature of that society, and of the middle-class in particular. Leopoldo,
a romantic dreamer, plays the tortured dramatist to the maid across the
courtyard. His hopes shatter when he petitions a fustian travelling
actor for help. Pretending to be interested in Leopoldo’s play, the
actor makes homosexual advances toward him. Riccardo is the least
clearly characterized of the group, perhaps only used to make the
group a more convenient size. Moraldo represents an ethical center in
the film; while he contributes to the group’s sport, he clearly does not
have the avocation. In moments signalled by camera placement,
editing, and music, Moraldo merges with the subjective authorial
consciousness that will become more direct and forceful in the later
Fellini films. He is the only one with any curiosity about life and any
courage to break away for good. Moraldo is undoubtedly Fellini. His
story was to have been continued in the scripted, but never filmed,
Moraldo in città. A similar character gets off the train at the beginning
of Roma. Much of the wistfully tragic cadence of the film is derived
from a despair behind the merry masks of the vitelloni, a rhetorical
figuration actualized in the town’s frenzied carnival celebration. This
Dionysian event is the perfect visual and rhythmic representation of
misdirected energy, leading to a critique of the grotesque, inebriated
alienation and neurotic sexual frustration at the base of the Italian
society in the 1950s. The mask motif points to the director’s skill in
utilizing Pirandellian themes with pointedness and originality. Alberto’s
drag costume and enormous mask, with its features set into a gro-
tesque, scream-like demeanor, are indications that farcical anarchy
and psychological anguish are never too distant from each other.
Like Gramsci, Fellini attributes Italian fascism to these insepara-
ble adolescent qualities, and continues to explore this problem in
different contexts in his later work. Specifically, Il bidone, a work of
less technical polish, stands out as a transmutation of these provincial
vitelloni from harmless, middle-class parasites into hostile, ruthless
con-men and thieves.
I vitelloni was enormously successful, even among critics of the
left, and became the director’s first film distributed internationally.

***
Jean-Luc Godard’s fourth feature-length film, Vivre sa vie, forms
the second shutter of a diptych with A bout de souffle (1959). The
latter had rewritten the American studio tradition through the filter of
French literature and philosophy. Vivre sa vie goes in the same
direction but with sharper visual impact and keen filmic control. Its
composition externalizes to an extreme degree many obsessions
found in all of Godard’s work. A Brechtian experiment in aesthetic
and political distance, it uses the theme of prostitution to bind
a number of formal experiments that touch on a variety of problems,
including the relation of art and lithography to cinema, the depressing
squalor of an all-encompassing zone of tastelessness comprising
modern life (hence the film’s allegiance to Baudelaire and to
Apollinaire), the breakdown of intimacy and experience as valid
measures of morality, the interfilmic mix of allusions saturating
single shots and entire sequences, and the break-up of the illusion of
perspective, by which words and image form an immensely ambigu-
ous hieroglyph of contemporary life, taken from cinema, the back-
drop of advertising, billboards, and newspapers.
Few of Godard’s films attain the same rigor of rhythm in their play
of sound and image, or their formal camera movement, as Vivre sa
vie. Raoul Coutard, Godard’s cameraman, insists on keeping a me-
dium distance between the lens and Anna Karina, who plays the role
of an exemplary, almost sacred—but very common—female who,
because of economic circumstances, is forced into prostitution. She
becomes a martyr in her own film. In the first sequence, he shoots the
backsides of Karina and her husband as they sit apart on barstools in
a café and face a mirror on the wall in front of them. The camera pans
indifferently to the left and right as the futile expression of their
speech shows no ostensible explanation for the dilemma. The failed
meeting is conveyed by a camera that cannot reach an intimate rapport
with the characters’ faces. Ensuing tableaux have the camera standing
fixed for long periods of time (following Nana’s pen, in extreme
close-up, as she writes a marginally literate letter of application for
employment), or tracing a dolly of 180 degrees from profile to the
front of Nana’s face as she stares at her pimp who is indentified with
the sightlines of the viewer. She sits in front of a wallpapered vista of
Paris, copied from a painting in the Impressionist style, that flattens
the heritage of art prevailing throughout the film. Tableaux vivants
are seen in Nana’s mimicry of Degas’s absinthe lady seated in a café,
Manet’s bar at the Folies-Bergère, Van Gogh’s taverns by night, and
Monet’s cityscapes.
Like A bout de souffle, Vivre sa vie is filmed in silence (in Parisian
streets), with on-location noise (in record shops or in the clatter of
cafés), with ruptures of music and silence (melodies being started and
stopped without any cues from the image track), with speech detached
from the image-track (a voice describing prostitution in a flat docu-
mentary style off camera while the shots register hands fumbling for
pocket money or latching onto doorknobs), or with uncanny matches
(the jukebox plays vivacious notes when Nana presses her body
against it in the famous mating dance in the pool hall). The film makes
a plastic collage of musical and filmed fragments.
Citing Montaigne on the urgency of experience (that is, of the need
to draw life from death) at the outset, Godard cuts the story of Nana’s
life into 12 stations of sainthood. Nana’s death, shot in front of
a ‘‘Café des Studios’’ in a suburban zone, casually depicts the heroine
falling to the asphalt between two cars; it also tells of metaphysical
stress that sustains all of Godard’s work, from A bout de souffle to Je
vous salue, Marie, 25 years later. Vivre sa vie underscores an
obsession with mimesis, defined in strict accord with the roots of
prostitution, in the ways the film works through the etymology of
prostatuere. In its theology of visibility, it makes of prostitution
a matter of ‘‘standing forward’’: to reveal oneself to others, to ‘‘come
TO VLEMMA TOU ODYSSEAFILMS, 4
th

into view’’ from anonymity, in a sort of cinematic ecce homo, entails
the heroine’s demise. An interview with a philosopher stages Nana as
an everywoman who queries Brice Parain (who plays himself) on the
relations of words, things, and existence to action. A comic and
pathetic register is attained. Godard reaches religious and Marxian
undertones as well, confirmed in a remarkable sequence, just prior to
the last tableau, when Nana’s new lover, a young man (banal as all the
men who figure in his work), reads excerpts from Baudelaire’s
translation of Poe’s ‘‘The Oval Portrait.’’ The passage treats of the
stakes of doubling (and dubbing) a picture with words, and of the
dialectic of the two, by which a narrative is finished at the price of the
death of the woman portrayed. ‘‘The Oval Portrait’’ becomes Vivre sa
vie en abyme. Godard’s voice actually reads Poe by way of Baudelaire;
the young man’s face, covered to eye level by the book, affords no lip-
synch: Godard, the male character, Baudelaire, and Poe are all part of
the same travesty. Because the quotation is doubled with English
subtitles that bear the ‘‘original’’ of Poe, the film reveals its own
essence of ventriloquism. The relation of words to image is compli-
cated by the same subtitles that offset the illusion of a ‘‘true’’ image
or voice.
The film is a venturous mix of allusions. Godard cites Dreyer’s
close-ups of the martyrdom of Falconetti in shots taken from The
Passion of Joan of Arc. Nana sees Dreyer’s film in a Left Bank theater
and cries in apparent sympathy for Joan/Falconetti. Already in A bout
de souffle Jean Seberg had been aligned with the saint of Dreyer’s
film. That after the sequence-filming of The Passion of Joan of Arc
Falconetti suffered a nervous breakdown and became a prostitute is
well known; that Godard uses the reference to ‘‘script’’ the end of his
own marriage to Karina, through allusion to Catherine Hessling in
Renoir’s Nana (of 1925), effectively complicates the quotation. It
makes the sensuous close-ups of Anna (the anagram of Nana) all the
more powerful in the ambivalent rapport of allusion, self-conscious-
ness, and film history in Godard’s long autobiography of cinema.

During the 1950s foreign directors came to Yugoslavia to make
films that they were not able to make in their own countries for
cultural or political reasons.
In 1959 Veljko Bulajic (one of De Sica’s assistants) made Vlak bez
voznog reda (Train without a Timetable), a neo-realistic epic about
the transferral of whole villages from the poverty-stricken coastal
regions of Dalmatia to the fertile plains of Vojvodina. By far his best
film to date, Vlak bez voznog reda was made in the days before
Bulajic embarked on a career making big budget international
co-productions (usually glorifying the major battles of the Partisan
war and the exploits of Comrade Tito).
The participants in this great migration travelled in freight cars
with their few possessions. These trains travelled very slowly and
their frequent stops allowed them to meet new people and undergo
hitherto unknown experiences. Thus, the film becomes a picture
about the possibilities of a better life for the travelling peasants, and
about their desires and aspirations for their new land.
A film that explores human dignity, at times harshly realistic and
bursting with the bitter mirth and acrid coarseness of the rough,
volatile, and high-spirited people of Dalmatia, Vlak bez voznog reda
is one of the best films of its time.

Greek director Theo Angelopoulos, best known for his 1979 The
Traveling Players (O Thiassos), has always been preoccupied with
the complex issues of Greek history and politics. In the 1990s, he
widened his interest and became interested in Balkan-wide issues,
which found expressions in his films of the decade—The Suspended
Step of the Stork (1991), Ulysses’ Gaze (1995), and the Cannes-
winner Eternity and a Day (1998). The characters in these films are all
involved in painful, introspective journeys and confront issues of
distorted harmony, irrecoverable identities, and fin-de-siècle sadness.
The director’s characteristic atmosphere—lonely wandering through
a misty landscape—prevails throughout. Angelopoulos daringly claims
that universal identity problems lurk within his peculiar Balkan
universe, and raises issues of displacement and lost homelands. He
endows the idiosyncratic Balkan problems with a universal humanis-
tic dimension, far beyond the geopolitical intricacies that dominate
the approaches of other Balkan filmmakers. Ulysses’ Gaze is exclu-
sively preoccupied with the problems of historical reconstruction and
personal remembrance. The film, co-scripted by the legendary Euro-
pean screenwriter Tonino Guerra, carries out a nostalgic reconstruc-
tion of peaceful and colorful ethnic cohabitation at the Balkan
crossroads between Orient and Occident. The narrative of the film
breaks away from the linear not only time-wise, but also spatially,
providing an ultimately subjective account of a personal experience
of history and regionality.
The protagonist, a successful American film director named ‘‘A.’’
(Harvey Keitel), has returned to visit his native Greece after 35 years
of exile. During his brief sojourn, he hears of several film reels, now
missing, shot early in the century by the legendary brothers Miltos
and Yannis Manaki, who are considered patriarchs of filmmaking in
the Balkan region and who lived all around the Balkans in the first half
of the century, mostly in Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Greece, and made
films about the region.
The memory of happy multicultural co-existence is presumably
recorded on the Manaki’s missing reels. A. sets off to search for the
footage, and gradually grows obsessed with the belief that tracking it
down and restoring it is the key to overcoming the confrontations in
the Balkans. In a pensive and melancholy journey, he travels across
the bleak Balkans winter, searching not only for the footage but for his
own roots as well. The journey takes him on a winding road—from
Greece to Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, and,
finally, to Sarajevo in today’s Bosnia. While some of these places are
explored in their present-day dimensions, others figure in the film
only as memory sites of distant times and events, now called back into
the mind of the protagonist.
As well as travel in space, there is travel in time. A.’s personal
memories define an episode that develops in his childhood home and
spans several years, starting in 1945 and running to the mid-1950s,
within a sequence that lasts only a few minutes. Each minute of screen
time seems to equal a year, an approach which Angelopoulos used
before in his famous Traveling Players.
All historical explorations of the mind are referenced to the
present, however. The ending point of the journey is besieged
Sarajevo, where, among the shelling, A. finally finds the lost footage
and the man who is able to give him access to the cherished image—
Ivo Levi, the old Jewish film curator who has revealed the secret of
the reels (Erland Josephson). The two men have finally found each
other in this kingdom of war, and are both relaxed because now, it
seems, they have all the time on Earth. They go out for a walk in the
foggy but peaceful day, not suspecting that only minutes later Levi
will be taken away and shot, without A. being able to react. He cries
helplessly. So soon after the ultimate moment of tranquillity with Ivo
Levi, he is once again alone and helpless, confronted with the
absurdity of death.
By the end of the film, A. has found and seen the revered footage.
But it does not matter any longer. Whatever may have been on these
tapes cannot compensate for the feeling of profound dejection. The
film has been about the desire to, and the impossibility of, recognizing
one’s own true self. By the time A. reaches what he is searching for, so
much has happened and so many illusions are destroyed, that he no
longer believes that the secrets of the past hold the key to harmony.
Ulysses’ Gaze is a deconstruction of self-perceptions and identity
believed to be firmly rooted in space and time. Nothing can be certain

anymore. Even if one is willing to adopt a conditional identity, the
choice is easily invalidated. The nostalgia for lost roots is meaning-
less, and all that remains is the longing for something that cannot be
attained. In the context of this existential pessimism, the Balkan
troubles are seen as the problems of the world, as a part of the tiresome
recognition of its deterioration.
Angelopoulos always preferred to discuss history as lived in
personal destinies, and by the time he matured to make Ulysses’ Gaze,
he had created the prefect cinematic language that allowed him to talk
of an individual experience of history as superseding time and space.
The remarkable use of elaborately manipulated long shots enables the
narrative to include complex and magnificent subtleties. The mostly
hand-held camera of cameraman Yorgos Arvanitis moves very slowly
and is often positioned in such a way that it reveals actions taking
place in different semantic layers of the screen space. The events lose
their objectivity and are constructed through the gaze of the onlooking
protagonist. Older historical interpretations intersect with the per-
ceived significance of newer ones.
Angelopoulos was disappointed when the Golden Palm at Cannes
in 1995 went to Emir Kusturica’s Underground rather than to his
Ulysses’ Gaze. Nonetheless, he received the Golden Palm for his next
Voina i mir
film, Eternity and a Day (1998). This later film, however, is nothing
more than a compendium of Angelopoulos’s image inventory, and
can hardly be considered superior to Ulysses’ Gaze.

Sergei Bondarchuk’s War and Peace, budgeted at over $100
million, is easily the definitive version of Tolstoy’s masterpiece. In
War and Peace, the world’s greatest historical novel, Tolstoy created
a panorama of vivid characters who are so realistic they breathe life
before the reader’s eyes. ‘‘We strove,’’ Bondarchuk explained, ‘‘with
the aid of modern cinematic means, to reproduce Tolstoy’s thoughts,
emotions, philosophy, and ideals.’’ As Penelope Gilliatt wrote in the
New Yorker, ‘‘Not the smallest blunder of style or proportion was
made . . . . ‘‘
Bondarchuk was not the first filmmaker to attempt to translate
Tolstoy’s narrative to the screen. In 1915, Vladimir Gardin and
Yakov Protazanov directed a ten-reel War and Peace; 41 years later
King Vidor made a static, overly simplified Italian-American version
with Henry Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, and Mel Ferrer. Bondarchuk’s
film is easily the most ambitious. It is uncannily faithful to Tolstoy’s
characterizations, and the most spectacular feature ever made in
Russia—perhaps also the most successful at the box office. The
filmmaker labored on the project for over half a decade. His original
cut, released in Russia in four parts, features battle scenes as grand as
any ever put on the screen. Cannons were reproduced exactly as they
were at the time of the story; paintings and props were borrowed from
museums; 158 separate scenes were filmed, utilizing a similar num-
ber of locations all over the USSR. There were 272 sets, 6,000
military costumes, 2,000 civilian costumes, 30 starring roles, and
120,000 soldier-extras. Not unexpectedly, the most memorable se-
quences are the spectacles: the ball at which Natasha and Andrei are
introduced; the burning of Moscow; and specifically, the Battle of
Borodino. Ballerina Ludmila Savelyeva is ravishing as Natasha;
Bondarchuk himself appears as Pierre.
An hour was cut for the American print, which runs 373 minutes. It
was also dubbed (unnecessarily) and released in two parts—one
would be presented in the afternoon, the other in the evening. Later, it
was further cut to 170 minutes. Still War and Peace is enormous in
scope. Bondarchuk, a postwar Russian actor whose career behind the
camera began during the late 1950s, specialized in epic productions.
Waterloo, the follow-up to War and Peace, could almost be consid-
ered a sequel.

***
Partly inspired by Jules Verne’s early work of science fiction De
la terre à la lune (1865) and by H. G. Wells’s prophetic novel The
First Men in the Moon (1901), Georges Méliès’s Le voyage dans la
lune (1902) is remarkable for its imaginative, and continually divert-
ing, narrative development. The serious, didactic purpose of the
literary antecedents is ignored to provide an engaging entertainment.
By the turn of the century lunar episodes featured regularly in
fairground shows and theatrical spectacles, and as early as 1898
Méliès had followed the fashion with short fairy-tale sequences such
as La lune à un métre. However, with Le voyage dans la lune—his
account of the pioneering journey to the moon undertaken by the
intrepid Professor Barbenfouillis and his companions, and of their
adventures with the Selenites—he surpassed all previous lunar spec-
tacles, creating new standards in film entertainment, and in so doing
accelerated the trend towards more sophisticated studio-based pro-
ductions. Comprising 30 tableaux using 18 decors, the film is about
14 minutes long, and for its period was both ambitious in conception
and lavish in its production values. Méliès was director, producer, set-
designer, and leading actor.
In his exuberant narrative Méliès successfully mixes traditional
stage-craft with his extensive repertory of special effects. The painted
backdrops for the Astronomers Club, the industrial landscape with
smoke rising from a host of chimneys, and the opulent Palace of the
Moon King are magnificent examples of theatrical trompe l’oeil.
Although fixed cameras are used throughout, Méliès films from
different angles on the same set to create changes of perspective and
viewpoint. Transitions between successive tableaux are achieved by
overprinting frames, a technique borrowed from magic-lantern shows
and already used extensively by the filmmaker in his version of
Cendrillon in 1899. Several episodes, such as the launching of the
spaceship and the hectic chase across the lunar landscape, have
rightly become anthology pieces. Méliès’s growing mastery of spe-
cial effects is witnessed in the depiction of the spaceship drawing
closer to the moon and landing in the moon’s eye. The simulated
forward travelling shot, in which a model of the moon is brought
closer to a static camera, had already been exploited in L’homme à la
tête de caoutchouc (1902). After this visual joke about the Man in the
Moon, the spaceship is seen to land again in a more realistic mode,
and in this double presentation Méliès extended traditional narrative
conventions. Stop-camera techniques are used to change the passing
stars and planets into pretty maidens, and the same trick is used to
convert umbrellas into gigantic mushrooms, or to remove Selenites in
a puff of smoke. For the return of the spaceship to Earth a series of
different scale models was used in a rapid montage sequence, while
the scenes of the craft dropping to the ocean floor and the subsequent
rescue exploited the resources of an aquarium. As Pierre Jenn’s
analysis has shown, Georges Sadoul’s long-acceptd direct equation
between tableau and decor does not hold for Le voyage dans la lune.
A given tableau may exploit more than one decor, and on occasions
one decor may give rise to several tableaux.
Made in May 1902 and marketed in August of that year, the film
was an immediate success. As with so many of Méliès’s productions,
counterfeit copies were soon circulating in America and this finally
prompted Méliès to open up a transatlantic office to protect his rights.
Capitalising on his success, Méliès extended the space travel genre
with Voyage à travers l’impossible (1904), this time recounting a trip
to the sun.
With its evocative sets Le voyage dans la lune has been frequently
cited as seminal to the development of the German expressionist
movement, while for its spontaneity and fantasy the film became
a reference point for avant-garde filmmakers and surrealists. Bu?uel,
for one, acknowledged Le voyage dans la lune as a formative
influence, while the films of René Clair and Jacques Prévert owe
much to their pioneering compatriot. In Shoot the Moon (1962) the
underground director Rudy Burckhardt paid explicit homage to
Méliès, while in his film tribute Le grand Méliès (1952), Franju uses
footage from Le voyage dans la lune to illustrate the director’s
innovative approach to filmmaking and his technical brilliance.

Eleven years passed between Carl Th. Dreyer’s first sound film,
Vampyr, and his second, Vredens dag, his first Danish film in 18
years. Dreyer saw Anne Pedersdotter, the Norwegian play by Hans
Wiers-Jenssen on which the film was based, in Copenhagen in 1909,
and had always wanted to film this story of a young woman burned as
a witch. However, he altered the original drama in various ways.
The film takes place in a pastor’s house in the country in 1623. The
21-year-old Anne, the second wife of the elderly vicar, is suffocating
in the stern atmosphere of the house and suffering from the tyranny of
her mother-in-law. When the pastor’s young son returns, Anne falls in
love with him, finally setting free her suppressed feelings. But society
strikes back. Anne, whose mother was accused of being a witch,
begins to fear that she too is a witch after the pastor dies. Typical of
a Dreyer film, Vredens dag is also about the struggle between good
and evil. Anne is not only a victim of a hostile and intolerant society,
she must also endure the struggle within herself.
Vredens dag is an erotic drama about a love triangle played against
a background of superstition and Christian mercilessness. In the
characters Dreyer has mixed the individual with the universal, show-
ing the strong impact of society on the formation of the individual.
Whether the reactions of the main characters are based on individual,
personal and egotistical motives or are the results of ideas and
prejudices of the time is deliberately difficult to ascertain.
In this way, Vredens dag is an historical film, trying to capture the
spirit of the past. But it is also obvious now what was not clear at the
time of the film’s release; the film was also commenting on another
dark period of Danish history—the German occupation, the time in
which Vredens dag was produced. In addition, the film can also be
considered a timeless drama about a human being fighting for her
right to self-realization.
The film is remarkable for its intense, but quiet acting and its
austere visual style, which grew out of the theme. The slow camera

movements, the long travelling shots, the close-ups and medium
close-ups, and the beautiful compositions, inspired by 17th-century
paintings, serve as a means for Dreyer to recreate the slow pulse of the
time. The formal beauty, the contrasts between black and white, the
use of horizontal and vertical camera movements, and particularly the
rhythm caused the Danish critics to call it formalistic. The film was
negatively received in 1943, although there were those who defended
it. Similarly, when the film was shown in New York in 1948, it got
very mixed reviews. In England, however, where it was shown in
1946, it was praised by the press. Since then, Vredens dag has grown
in critical reputation and is now considered one of Dreyer’s
masterpieces.

Whilst exploring the cultural clash between black and white
Australia embodied in three children, Nicolas Roeg, in his first solo
directorial film, inadvertently perpetuates 1960s Western thought
about the death of Aboriginal culture. It was only two years prior to
the making of Walkabout that the 1967 Referendum (necessary to
make any Constitutional changes) empowered the Australian federal
government to legislate on Aboriginal affairs. Suffrage was granted to
Aboriginals in 1962, and whilst it is undoubtedly true that they had
suffered through the imposition of an imported white culture, it is not
true that Aboriginal culture is dying. David Gulpilil, a tribal man from
Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, at 16 years old, was chosen
by Roeg to play the lead role in Walkabout. He went on to appear in
WALKABOUT FILMS, 4
th

Walkabout
numerous films, television programmes, and dance performances
around the world, was awarded the Australia Medal in 1987, yet
continues to live in Arnhem Land.
As a white Englishman, Roeg cannot escape a European view-
point when looking at Australia. Linear reason is eschewed for the
qualities embodied by Romanticism, a movement in European art,
music, and literature in the late-18th and early-19th centuries, current
in England at the time of colonizing Australia. Romanticism was
characterized by ‘‘an emphasis on feeling and content rather than
order and form, on the sublime, supernatural, and exotic.’’ These
things, along with Roeg’s interest in colour, emotion, adventure, and
fantasy, reflect the Romantic qualities found in this beautifully
photographed film. Roeg’s extensive experience behind the camera is
evident here.
The film starts with a premise ‘‘explaining’’ what a walkabout is:
In Australia when an Aborigine man-child reaches 16,
he is sent out into the land. For months he must live from
it. Sleep on it. Eat of its fruit and flesh. Stay alive. Even
if it means killing his fellow creatures. The Aborigines
call it the Walkabout.
The construction is reminiscent of an opera plot—inspired by real
countries or situations, but actually a total fantasy. I long for an Ed
McBain-like disclaimer at the beginning of his novels: Any similarity
to real people and places is entirely unintentional. Yet the statement
places the audience firmly in a real country. Where is this Australia?
The erroneous statement which suggests that walkabout is only
done by boys undergoing initiation, reflects the impossibility of white
culture being able to really understand Aboriginal culture. An Illus-
trated Encyclopedia of Aboriginal Life describes walkabout as being:
The English equivalent of an expressive word which
describes the nomadic habits of the large number of
tribes inhabiting the drier parts of Australia. It was not
a compulsive urge but dire necessity which forced them
to spend the dry season wandering from one waterhole
to another in search of game, vegetable, food, and water.
They sometimes established scores of camps and trav-
elled hundreds of miles; and it must be remembered that
each group included elderly people, pregnant mothers,
young children, and babies born on the journey, as well
WANDAFURU RAIFUFILMS, 4

as young men and women and full-grown hunters, and
that they had to carry all their possessions with them.
However, we must accept that film is a construction, and not
a document of place. If a statement is presented as fact though, it
should be correct. The desire for verisimilitude cannot be satisfied
here, in this complex and fantastic film.
Three children, the unnamed protagonists, are thrown together as
a result of far away colonising history. England needed a solution to
overcrowded prisons. In 1788, the first British invaded Australia.
British prisoners were deported to the unimaginable other side of the
world, peopled by hundreds of distinct Aboriginal nations. Less than
200 years later, an Englishman makes an exploration on film of the
friction and interchange between the indigenous and imported cul-
tures. It is an account of their long walk together: the white siblings,
near victims of a murderous father, are abandoned like the prisoners
of the Crown, in a land that they do not understand and that almost
kills them. They are saved by an Aboriginal boy who is undergoing
his initiation into manhood. He must survive alone in the bush, as one
of the conditions of his initiation. Just by being with him, they destroy
him. By helping the white children, he breaks tribal law. However
grateful they are to their black saviour, they cannot help but kill him,
just through contact, just by misunderstanding.
The great beauty and indifference of the land unfolds as the
children escape from their father. Roeg repeats the motif of animals
throughout this film (predating Peter Greenaway) and capitalizes on
the brilliant colour and light of the country they travel through. The
young brother and older sister’s school clothes are put away, and the
vestiges of their culture diminish the further they walk. Eventually
their guide paints them in ochres, yet he begins to turn on the
transistor radio they have with them. His indigenous knowledge is
contrasted with the commanding male radio voice which interrogates
the audience with mathematical problems. The white boy responds
with enthusiasm. He wants to take his shirt off, as his new friend has
no shirt. He wants to give him his, but his sister comments that it
would not fit him, and that he should keep it. She cannot help but
admire the Aboriginal boy’s ‘‘nakedness,’’ and an adolescent aware-
ness of their bodies grows. The further they walk together, the more
influenced by each other they become. Their friendship develops
outside white society, and outside tribal culture.
The use of freeze frame, montage, almost subliminal imagery,
combined with the soundtrack and music by John Barry, present
a sequence of remembered fragments, like trying to recall a dream.
This hauntingly moving film, despite flaws that fix it in the era of its
production, allows the audience to ‘‘complete’’ it themselves. Like
any successful work of art, the audience participates, freeing them-
selves of passivity.
The pessimism of the conclusion may be inappropriate to Aus-
tralia, and particularly to Aboriginal life today, but perhaps we can see
Walkabout as a memorial representation of all those indigenous
peoples who have died in the colonising process.
The sigh of regret we hear in A. E. Housman’s A Shropshire Lad is
spoken over the memory the girl has of the three children swimming
in an exquisite waterhole. It looks like Eden before awareness.
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come home again.
Finally, we are reminded that we can never go back: change is
irreversible, rien ne va plus.

of artistic creation and of the creation of films in particular. After Life,
WAVELENGTH FILMS, 4
th

part parable, part fantasy, is a film about the choices and dilemmas
that face filmmakers, who must sift through the human experience to
choose which images contain the power to inspire and endure.
After Life is the story of a week in the death of a group of twenty-
two newly deceased souls. After their various demises, they arrive at
a sort of halfway house between the living world and the afterlife,
where they are interviewed by ghostly counselors who brief them on
the next stage of their journey. To their surprise, they learn that they
will spend this week selecting one joyful memory of the life they just
left. This memory will be filmed by the crew of counselors and they
will be allowed to take only the film of that one memory with them
into the afterlife.
This motley group contains diverse souls: a teenage girl, a shy old
woman, a punked out rebel, a staid war veteran. Each member reacts
to this unexpected after-death routine in a different way, and the
unfolding of their search for the perfect memory provides the dra-
matic thrust of the movie. The tone of After Life is both melancholy
and comic. Though its premise is fanciful, director Kore-eda anchors
the film firmly in the pedestrian, setting his post-life limbo in what
appears to be (and, in fact, is) an abandoned school, with institutional
beige walls and dilapidated furniture. Kore-eda’s vision of the after-
life is neither mystical nor sentimental, but simply a probing search
for the essence of experience.
The director of After Life has been obsessed throughout his career
with the subject of memory, placing it again and again at the center of
his films. Trained as a documentarian, he approached After Life by
first conducting hundreds of interviews, putting the film’s central
question to his subjects: what memory would you choose from all
your life to keep forever? Along with the dramatic story line of the
film, Kore-eda intersperses these interviews, giving After Life the feel
of an other-worldly documentary.
The film, whose title literally translates as ‘‘Wonderful Life,’’ was
named for Frank Capra’s 1946 film It’s a Wonderful Life, which also
relies on the device of a protagonist revisiting his memories to gain
meaning from his life. Unlike most other memory films, however,
Kore-eda refuses to use flashbacks to show us the memories of his
characters. ‘‘I’ve made it a rule never to show what someone is
remembering,’’ he has said ‘‘because you begin to participate in the
atrophying of the viewer’s imagination.’’
Instead, Kore-eda uses the film-within-a-film to emphasize the
mutable nature of memory. Even our most vivid memories may be
limited or embellished by time, desire, and imagination, just as the
most faithful film must necessarily alter events by the act of reproduc-
ing them.
After Life, therefore, acts on many different levels. It is a gently
humorous look at the tragedy of unfulfilled life. It is a modern history
of Japan seen through the memories of those who lived it. It is
a quizzical look at the predicament of the artist who seeks to preserve
and illuminate the human condition. In a subtly ironic twist, those
who refuse or are unable to choose a memory to film remain on as the
filmmakers in the blandly institutional limbo, counseling the newly
arrived dead about how to sort through their lives.

***
Michael Snow’s Wavelength established his reputation as
a filmmaker and, with the prestige of the winning prize at the 4th
International Experimental Film Competition, it quickly became the
showpiece of a movement toward monomorphic, minimalist films
(often called ‘‘structural films’’). The decisiveness with which Snow
staked out a territory for investigation, the simplicity and clarity of the
film’s overall gesture, and the intricacy of its details, were factors in
the immediate and continuing attention this film has claimed.
Wavelength describes a single zoom movement for three quarters
of an hour across an almost empty New York loft, resting eventually
with the frame of a black-and-white photograph of waves pinned to
the wall of the room. Within this pseudo-continuity there are innu-
merable changes of color filters, sudden shifts into negative, changes
from day to night, occasional super-impositions, and a series of
human events of increasing dramatic significance. The events include
moving in a bookcase, listening to a song on the radio, a tramp
breaking in and collapsing on the floor, and finally a woman entering
and upon seeing the body, telephoning for help because she thinks
he is dead.
The human events are filmed with the direct sound which inter-
rupts the steadily increasing sine wave of piercing electronic sound
which contributes largely to the uncanniness of the film. The filmmaker
dissects the illusion of continuity imposed by zoom, evoking an
impressive series of metaphors for memory and death in the process.
The opening installation of the bookcase, with its live, unmuffled
sound of footsteps mingled with the noises of the street and its
commercial traffic, sets the tone of a casual documentary. As we wait
for something to happen, that casualness is cancelled by the non-
realistic visual and auditory events arranged to emphasize the auton-
omy of the camera and sound recorder of the audio-visual stimuli.
Gradually we come to realize that even such conventional tools as the
radio and the telephone are machines for translating sound waves into
electronic traces and back into audible sound.
The zoom is a particularly appropriate tool for Snow’s critique,
because its movement is virtual, in actuality a relationship between
two lenses, the image of an image. In the film’s temporal scheme, that
inner mechanism of the lens is echoed by the frame-to-frame relation-
ship that suggests either movement or stasis depending upon the
nature of the still images. The end of the film dramatizes this when
Snow dissolves from one image of the photograph of the wave framed
on the wall to a closer shot wholly within the photograph. The
dissolve cannot be distinguished from the act of zooming. Finally, he
declares the fragility of the image itself by simply changing focus on
the photograph so radically that the screen goes white: the very
threshold of visibility is inscribed within the lens.
Other avant-garde films have dwelled upon the uniqueness of the
cinematic images, but none so systematically as Wavelength.

Weekend is perhaps the most problematic film of the modern
cinema’s most problematic (if arguably most important) filmmaker.
The problem lies partly in the complexity of the issues involved.
There are the difficulties of the film itself, difficulties of obscurity in
meaning, but also those arising from the nature of its radicalism, plus
the wider difficulties concerning the whole 20th-century political and
aesthetic debate centered on ‘‘realism’’ vs. ‘‘modernism.’’
The dominant tradition of cinema, since its inception (the Lumière
films of 1895), has been ‘‘realist’’ (a better word might be ‘‘illusion-
ist’’), based on deceiving the audience into believing they are seeing
reality instead of an artificial construct. Even documentary and the
newsreel are based on principles of selection and juxtaposition;
reality in art can never be unmediated. This illusion of reality can
easily become (and without awareness, inevitably becomes) a dis-
guise under cover of which the dominant ideology (i.e. bourgeois,
patriarchal capitalism) reproduces and reinforces itself: the represen-
tation of physical reality becomes the guarantee of a ‘‘truth’’ that is in
fact ideological. Hence the first duty of the radical filmmaker is to
shatter the dominant modes of representation—to destroy the illusion,
to overthrow the tyranny of narrative. In our century, the cinema (with
‘‘reality’’ apparently guaranteed by the camera—‘‘the truth 24 times
a second,’’ as Godard remarked in his earlier days, or ‘‘lies 24 times
a second,’’ as he subsequently reformulated it) has been the last
stronghold of traditional realist art, a tradition long since challenged
in literature and painting. Godard’s work has been central to the
emergence and development of a modernist cinema, and Weekend is
one of the key texts in that development.

The fundamental rule of a classical cinema is that everything
serves the narrative: settings, characterization, realistic detail, style,
presentation, etc. The narrative of Weekend might be linked to
a clothesline: it is a necessity for hanging the wash, but what is
interesting and important are the garments, linens, etc., that it sus-
tains. The rejection of realism/illusionism and narrative dominance is
at once achieved by and makes possible (it is difficult here to
distinguish cause and effect) a number of strategies. For example:
there are references to the film as a film (introductory captions tell us
it is ‘‘a film found on the scrap-heap’’ and ‘‘film astray in the
cosmos,’’ and the male protagonist complains about the craziness of
the movie he’s in); references to other films (Bu?uel’s The Extermi-
nating Angel, Johnny Guitar, Saga of Gosta Berling, and Battleship
Potemkin—The Searchers are code names on the walkie-talkies while
the Renoir and Truffaut references are telescoped in the caption
‘‘Arizona Jules’’); printed captions throughout the film are used as
interruptions which are frequently more enigmatic than explanatory;
and, finally, Weekend is largely composed of digressions, its plot
being capable of summation in a couple of sentences. Other strategies
include: the use of direct address to the camera, monologue, and
interview (Weekend contains an interesting—and exceptionally
distancing—variation on this in the ‘‘Third World’’ section where the
black African and Algerian garbage-collectors speak for each other,
one staring insolently into the camera while the other, off-screen,
speaks his thoughts); the foregrounding of camera-technique, as in
the celebrated tracking shot along the seemingly interminable traffic
jam where the camera moves steadily, imperturbably, refusing to
privilege any incident or detail by linering, as well as the three 360-
degree circular tracks around the farmyard during the lecture on
a Mozart piano sonata; and, finally, the intrusion into the film of
a number of characters superfluous to the narrative, some historical,
some fictitious, and in certain cases played by the same actor (St. Just
and the young man in the phone-booth, Emily Bront?—dressed as
Alice-in-Wonderland—and the pianist/lecturer’s assistant.)
Instead of the closed text of classical narrative, in which an
omniscient author (the connection of the term to ‘‘authority’’ is
important) leads the reader/viewer step by step towards a position of
‘‘knowledge’’ (which corresponds to the imposition of a value-
system), we have the open text of modernism. The author (‘‘enuncia-
tor’’ has become the preferred term) foregrounds himself, and in
a sense discredits himself. The lack of coherent narrative frees the
viewer, making him the active explorer of an open-ended network of
data, references, statements, and positions. The voices that speak
within the film are not structured or ‘‘placed’’ in relation to a domi-
nant discourse; we are not told how we must listen to them. So, at
least, runs the argument. One can accept it up to a point; certainly, as
a challenge to dominant forms and dominant norms, Godard has been
salutary and indispensable.
Nevertheless, Weekend is a film towards which, as time passes,
one feels increasingly less indulgent. When it appeared (after the
events of May ‘68, but made before them), it seemed uncannily
prescient, its formal, aesthetic, and political anarchism exhilarating
and liberating. Yet there were always doubts—an uneasiness, a squeam-
ishness, which the film itself seemed to define as ‘‘bourgeois,’’ and
scoffed at one for feeling. Clearly in intention it is a film about the
brutalization of contemporary capitalist society, but it is also in effect
a brutalizing film. This becomes explicit in one of its final statements,
where we are told that the horror of the bourgeoisie must be countered
with even greater horror. In practice, the results of the theoretical
argument outlined here became increasingly ambiguous. The abdica-
tion from ‘‘authority’’ can be read as Godard’s somewhat disingenu-
ous denial of responsibility, (‘‘I am not making these statements,
voices in the film are making them’’—voices which Godard has
chosen and permitted to speak). The overthrow of ‘‘realism’’ (the
blood is obviously red paint, the film is a film) becomes a means of
allowing us to find degradation (especially of women), slaughter and
cannibalism funny. One cannot resist the suggestion that Godard is
using revolutionary politics as an excuse for indulging a number of
very unpleasant fantasies of sexuality and violence.
The film constructs a position for the viewer just as surely as any
classical narrative (true, that position contains a certain ambivalence,
but that is a phenomenon scarcely alien to classical cinema). The
presentation, in the final third of the film, of the band of revolutionary
guerillas is crucial to this. Godard is careful not to endorse them in any
obvious, unequivocal way. Their activities are made to appear largely
ridiculous and pointless, unsupported by any coherent body of
revolutionary theory. Yet he is plainly fascinated by them; their very
emptiness and dehumanization provide the necessary conditions for
the fantasies of violence that a constructive radical position could
only impede. The attitude found in the later Vent d’Est that could
explicitly encourage the placing of bombs in supermarkets and label
‘‘bourgeois’’ any scruples we might feel about this is already fully
present in Weekend. Foregrounding the mechanics of cinema and the
process of narration by no means guarantees ideological awareness
(on the part of either the filmmaker or the spectator): that is just as
pernicious a myth as its corollary, that all realist art necessarily
reinforces the dominant ideology.

idea of taking one of the most famous and tragic love stories of all
time and translating it to modern America, focusing it around the
racial and inner city problems arising at that time (and which still exist
today) was a radical one.
The Capulet and Montague families are transformed into two
street gangs whose members live in the urban ghettos. The Jets (the
poor, white local youth) are led by Riff (Russ Tamblyn) who centres
his hatred on the local Puerto Ricans who have moved into the area to
make a new beginning. The immigrant gang, the Sharks, are led by the
charismatic Bernardo (George Chakiris), who still believes in the
customs and patriarchy of his old world.
Conflict arises not just between the two groups that struggle to live
together in this emerging new society, but also within the factions
when the conventions and beliefs of the older society are put to the
test and are questioned. Thus, Tony (Richard Beymer) is torn between
his old solidarity with the Jets, his wish to escape from the ghetto and
move on, and his instantaneous love for Maria, a girl from a different
culture and race. Similarly, Maria (Natalie Wood) must face the
conflict that arises between her loyalty to her family, as epitomized by
her brother Bernardo, and her love for Tony. Both Tony and Maria
must pay the price for breaking the existing rules of the dominant
society—and both Tony and Bernardo are sacrificed in order to
establish rules for the new order.
Garnering ten Academy Awards, West Side Story is today re-
garded as a classic musical. The film boasts an impressive cast,
a musical score composed by Leonard Bernstein, and Jerome Robbins’s
choreography, which introduced a new kind of dance in musicals.
Robert Wise’s clever and often shocking direction brought an imme-
diacy and pace rarely seen in musicals. The audience is immediately
immersed in the plot from the opening credits when the camera zooms
in at great speed on the first shot. However, critic Pauline Kael
commented that the use of stereophonic music in the opening se-
quence left her ‘‘clutching’’ her head.
The racial tension is evident from the beginning when gang
members chase a Puerto Rican down the street only to be pursued in
turn. Brilliantly choreographed, the energetic routines illustrate the
violence and intensity of living on the streets through dance and
movement. Most impressive is the fact that Maria is played by Natalie
Wood who could neither sing nor dance. Most of the routines in which
she is featured compensate for these deficiencies through skillful
choreography and a clever use of camera.
Rita Moreno is excellent as Anita, Bernardo’s voluptuous and
sexy girlfriend, who manages and manipulates her lover very well.
The innocent gossipy antics of the Puerto Rican girls, who are
alternately excited by and frightened of their new country, are
contrasted with the ‘‘political games’’ of their male counterparts.
Although for the most part the encounters between the gangs are
part of a game to keep them all amused, the fun quickly spirals out of
control when the Sharks and Jets plan a final confrontation, which
results in Riff’s accidental stabbing by Bernardo, and Bernardo’s
subsequent death at Tony’s hands.
Tony is the least credible character in the film. He believes that he
can leave the Jets and his past behind without any problems. He sees
Maria at a dance and instantly falls in love with her, ignoring all of the
obvious problems arising from an interracial love match. He seems
too soft to belong to a street gang; yet Tony’s loyalty to his friend Riff
leads him to kill Bernardo, despite the impact this will have on Maria.
Even after this tragic episode Tony croons ‘‘There’s a Place for Us’’
to Maria, a future for them somewhere—but there is nowhere to run.
He is killed by Chico, a Shark gang member who is in love with
Maria. Only after Tony’s death, when the police arrive and Maria has
condemned both gangs for the senseless deaths of Riff, Bernardo, and
Tony, do the two gangs finally join together and carry Tony away.
The confusion and fear on all of their faces makes children of them
once more.
In spite of its sadness West Side Story ends on a positive note—
with the idea that out of the violence and hatred a better society can be
created in which different groups can live together.

One of the toughest, most hard-bitten crime films of the 1940s,
White Heat stands at the crux between the 1930s gangster movie and
the post-war film noir. At the center of the film is gang leader Cody
Jarrett, a cold-blooded killer who runs his gang of thieves with an iron
fist and a blazing pistol. As Jarrett, James Cagney gives one of the
most maniacal, yet complex performances of his masterful career,
harking back to the tragically ambitious mobster he played in Public
Enemy, but adding the noir-ish twist of psychopathy to the character.
The white heat of the title refers in part to the debilitating headaches
Cody suffers; he describes them as feeling like a buzzsaw in his brain.
Jarrett’s migraine attacks and insane rages clearly equate his mental
condition and his sociopathic profession; yet the film plays out
Cody’s psychosis quite astutely in the determinant relationship of the
film—his perversely oedipal attachment to his mother. Although
accompanied by his voluptuous (and ultimately duplicitous) bride,
Cody ignores her in favour of Ma Jarrett, a hard-nosed old woman
who is mentor, advisor and comforter to her only son, and who never
leaves his side until he is taken to prison. Significantly, only she
seems capable of seeing Cody’s migraines.
Ostensibly, it is Edmond O’Brien, as police agent Hank Fallon,
who plays the hero of the film, going undercover in prison to gain
Jarrett’s confidence and lead him to the gas chamber. Exploiting
Jarrett’s psychological weaknesses, Fallon manages to partially fill
the emotional void left when Cody finds out his mother has been
killed (the scene that provides the film’s emotional peak—upon
hearing the news, Jarrett wreaks havoc in a tour-de-force mad rage in
the prison mess hall). Curiously, the vulnerability displayed by
Jarrett—psychopathic and cold-blooded as he may be—makes the
betrayal of his friendship by the bland, emotionless Fallon seem
utterly reprehensible, no matter what side of the law he represents.
As directed by Raoul Walsh, the most accomplished craftsman
working at Warner Brothers, White Heat never succumbs to heavy
psychologism, but remains a lean and powerful, unrelentingly fast-
paced film—the epitome of classical Hollywood filmmaking. Char-
acteristic of Walsh, the film’s mise-en-scène is filled with flourishes
of camera movement, cutting and composition seamlessly con-
structed so as to avoid the ‘‘artiness’’ of more expressionistic films
noir. Such classicism at the service of metaphor is nowhere better
demonstrated than in the intercutting of the churning machinery of the
prison workshop with close-ups of Jarrett suffering one of his
disabling headaches. The sense of locale evoked by Walsh, as
atmospheric in this film as in his renowned High Sierra, is impeccable
and quite contemporary, making imaginative use of such settings as
tourist courts and drive-in movie theaters. The signs of modernity are
everywhere (most obviously in the ‘‘scientific’’ surveillance tech-
niques used by the police to track Jarrett in his final caper) and add to
the sense that the tragic figure of the gangster has outlived his day.
It is this sense of a modern world no longer concerned with the
individual that finally lends White Heat its most biting, film noir edge,
adding a thoroughly chilling level to Jarrett’s self-immolation in the
film’s final moments. Perched atop a refinery oil drum, engaged in
a hopeless gun battle with the police, and realizing his betrayal by
Fallon, Jarrett fires his pistol into the drum, shouting, ‘‘Top of the
world, Ma!’’ The white-hot explosion that follows not only marks
Jarrett’s ascension to the tragic, but equates his madness with the end
of the world, announcing the definitive entry of the crime film into the
atomic age.

***
The Why We Fight series was a massive effort on the part of the
United States government to indoctrinate the millions of young men
and women inducted into military service following the American
entry into World War II. The making of this series and other large-
scale information and education films, as they were called, was
planned and supervised by Frank Capra. One of the most popular
Hollywood filmmakers of the late 1930s, he had no prior documen-
tary experience.
Why We Fight was based on the assumption that servicemen
would be more willing and able fighters if they knew the events that
led up to, and the reasons for our participation in the war. It had to
counteract the spirit of isolationism still strong in this country up to
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In this attempt it offered
a gigantic historical treatise from a particular, ‘‘liberal’’ point of
view—that is to say the New Deal viewpoint of the Democratic
administration, prevalent in the country at the time. (There is an irony
here in that Capra’s personal politics have always seemed to be
conservative Republican, but they rested on a kind of populism that
united him with the common effort led by President Franklin Roose-
velt.) The historical approach was a frequent one in American
documentaries, going back to The Plow that Broke the Plains (1936)
and The River (1937). It was scarcely used by the wartime filmmakers
of other governments, such as Great Britain or Canada, Germany or
the Soviet Union.
The series is perhaps most impressive in the scale of its conception
and in the skill of its execution. Almost entirely compiled from

th
EDITION

existing footage including newsreels, Allied and captured enemy
records of battle, bits from Hollywood features, and Nazi propaganda
films—it presents a vast and coherent panorama through editing and
commentary.
The first three films—Prelude to War, The Nazis Strike, and
Divide and Conquer—cover the period 1918 to 1940. They document
Japanese aggression in the Orient, the growing menace of Hitler in
Europe, and—above all—the changing American foreign policy and
public opinion throughout these years. The Battle of Britain, The
Battle of Russia, and The Battle of China cover the efforts of the allies,
who were in the war before the Americans and continued to fight
alongside them. War Comes to America offered a recapitulation and
an even more detailed examination of the tremendous changes in
American opinions and attitudes, as well as the conflicting impulses
and ideologies that shaped them. Picking up and consolidating the
themes of the first three films, it was the last one made but was
intended to be shown first. Though the seven films were designed for
military personnel, their excellence and dramatic power were recog-
nized by the War Department, and some of them were made available
for civilian audiences through theatrical exhibition. They were shown
to all servicemen; viewing all seven was compulsory before embarka-
tion for overseas duty.
The chief artistic problem for the makers of the films was one of
giving structure to vast amounts of unstructured history. In this
respect their work was like the work of Shakespeare in his chronicle
plays. Dramatic form was given to each of the seven films, with
exposition, mounting action, climax, denouement. They can be
broken down into acts, in fact. Divide and Conquer, for example, has
five acts, like the classical tragedy. Act I contains exposition: Ger-
many has overrun Poland; Britain was now the goal; German strategy
is outlined, and the theme of Hitler’s lying treachery sounded. The
content of Act II is the successful German campaign against Denmark
and Norway. Act III deals with the position of France, the Maginot
Line, and French weakness. Act IV comprises the German conquest
of Holland and Belgium. Act V is the fall of France. The various
participant countries are given character; they become characters, like
dramatic personae. In this respect, rather than the Shakespearian
histories, this film bears a curious resemblance to Hamlet, with
Germany as Claudius, the murderous villain, France as Hamlet,
DeGaulle and French North Africa as Horatio, and England as
Fortinbras. Here, as in Hamlet, things are not what they seem, with the
villain protesting friendship and the tragic hero constricted by an
incapacity for action.
A considerable variety of visual and audio resources are used in
these compiled documentaries—very nearly the full range conceiv-
able. Visuals in The Nazis Strike, for instance, include, in addition to
newsreel footage, excerpts from the Nazi’s Triumph of the Will,
Hitlerjunge Quex, and Baptism of Fire; bits of staged action (the
victims of firing squads); still photos, drawings and maps; animated
diagrams (animation by the Walt Disney Studio); and printed titles
(Hitler’s pronouncements). The sound track includes two narrators
(Veiller for the factual, Huston for the emotional), quoted dialogue
(Churchill, and an impersonation of Hitler), music (by one of Holly-
wood’s best), and sound effects.
Dramatic conflict is obtained by painstaking manipulation of the
combat footage. The editing conventions of matched action and
screen direction are observed. The German attackers always move
from right to left. A synthetic assemblage of diverse material is edited
into a cause-effect order: German bombers in formation, bombs
dropping from planes, explosions in villages, rubble. The result is as if
all of this footage had been shot for these films—under Capra’s
direction.
The maps and animated diagrams give scope to the live-action
sequences, clarify and relate random material for formalized patterns
consistent with the actual movement involved. In Divide and Con-
quer the sequence of refugees on the roads being strafed is especially
striking; one reads into the actual what has just been seen in animated
representation. In another instance from the same film, the animated
arrows representing the armoured Panzer divisions thrust into an
outlined Ardennes forest with speed and power. The animation by
itself takes on symbolic and rhetorical meaning; again in Divide and
Conquer, swastika termites infest the base of a castle, and python-like
arrows lock around the British Isles.
It must be admitted that, though the Why We Fight series may be
greatly admired on technical and aesthetic grounds, there is some
convincing evidence that it was not as effective an indoctrination as
was hoped for and even thought to be. The problem, the social
scientists inferred from their testings, was with the historical ap-
proach. It seemed to have the desired effects only on those with the
equivalent of some college education; it seemed to be too intellectual
for a majority of soldiers tested. As films, though, Why We Fight offer
incontrovertible evidence of very great filmmaking skill and a re-
markably full and varied use of film technique.

When it was first released, The Wild Bunch became the subject of
heated controversy among critics and the public alike due to its
extraordinary level of violence. Following close on the heels of
Bonnie and Clyde, The Wild Bunch surpassed the slow-motion death
balletics of that film by quantum leaps, shocking and/or revolting
large numbers of viewers. (At the Kansas City test screening of the
190-minute rough cut, over 30 members of the audience walked out in
disgust, some reportedly throwing up in the alley behind the theater.)
Twenty years later, in an age inured to graphic screen violence and
gore, the violence of The Wild Bunch is still remarkably provocative
and disturbing. This is partially because the violence is not gratuitous,
as some have claimed, but central to the film’s vision of human
experience: it posits a world in which degrees of violence provide the
only standards, and violent death the only liberation. If it is a world
not predicated entirely on human evil, it is one at least in which there
is very little good or hope for change. It seems clear today that what
many people object to in Peckinpah’s extravagant depiction of
violence in The Wild Bunch is actually his dark view of human nature.
Another reason the film’s violence still shocks and scintillates is
its rendition by Peckinpah’s stylized, optically jolting montage. Not
since Eisenstein has a filmmaker so radically explored the conven-
tions of traditional editing form. Much of the action in The Wild
Bunch was filmed by as many as six Panavision, Mitchell, and
Arriflex cameras running simultaneously at different speeds, each
equipped with different lenses, including wide-angle, telephoto, and
zoom. Peckinpah and his editor, Louis Lombardo, then created
elaborate montage sequences by cutting footage shot in ‘‘real time’’
together with footage shot at varying decelerated speeds—all shot
through a variety of lenses, some of which created a unique optical
tension by zooming in and out nervously (and, amazingly, without
calling attention to themselves) at appropriate moments. The percep-
tual impact of rapidly intercutting violent action shot at standard
speed with slow-motion footage and a variety of telephoto zooms, in
sequences that last as long as seven minutes, is both exhilarating and
exhausting. The Wild Bunch is the most optically violent film ever
THE WINDFILMS, 4
th
EDITION

made, one which relentlessly assaults the senses of its audience with
a torrent of violent images to rival and finally exceed Eisenstein’s
achievement in ‘‘The Odessa Steps’’ sequence of Potemkin. (In fact,
The Wild Bunch contains more individualized cuts than any color film
ever made—3,642, in a decade when 600 was standard for the average
dramatic feature.)
It seems ironic and not a little crazy today that a film so clearly
focussed on themes of loyalty, honor, integrity, and heroism could
have been reviled in its time for what one major critic called, ‘‘moral
idiocy.’’ But that was the late 1960s, when the issues of violence in
American society and American foreign policy had become central to
virtually every national forum of public opinion. We stood at the end
of a decade of political assassinations whose magnitude was unprece-
dented in our history, and we were deeply mired in a genocidal war in
Vietnam. The My Lai massacre was revealed less than a year after the
release of The Wild Bunch, but many Americans already knew what
that revelation confirmed: that to fight a war against a popular
insurrection is to fight a war against the populace. For many critics
The Wild Bunch seemed to be an allegory of our involvement in
Vietnam, where outlaws, mercenaries, and federal troops fought to
produce the largest civilian ‘‘body count’’ since World War II. Others
saw the film more generally as a comment on the level and nature of
violence in American life. But nearly everyone saw that it bore some
relationship to the major social issues of the times, and, depending on
how one felt about those, one’s reaction to the film was enthusiasti-
cally positive or vehemently negative—both mistaken responses to
a work whose prevailing tenor is moral ambiguity from start to finish.
Today it is possible to find a middle ground; for whatever else The
Wild Bunch may be (as it is, for example, the greatest western ever
made), it is clearly a major work of American art which changed
forever the way in which violence would be depicted in American
films, as well as permanently restructuring the conventions of its
genre. That Peckinpah was unable to equal it later—as with Welles
and Citizen Kane—is not testimony to his insufficiency a a film artist
but to the extraordinary achievement of The Wild Bunch itself. It is, as
Robert Culp remarked on its release, a film ‘‘more quintessentially
and bitterly American than any since World War II.’’ Like Kane, The
Wild Bunch will remain an enduring work of American art—vast and
explosive, vital and violent, with something both very dark and very
noble at its soul.

***
The Wind represents a turning point in two of the most important
careers in film history, those of Victor Seastrom (the anglicized
version of Sj?str?m that appeared in the credits of his American films)
and Lillian Gish. The Wind was the last silent film either of them
made, and it virtually marked the end of their star status in Holly-
wood. Seastrom directed one talkie before returning to Sweden;
Gish’s first leading lady vehicle of the sound era, One Romantic
Night, was also her last.
The Wind belongs to that moment of precious finality when the
stylistics and the techniques of cinema, developed to serve narrative
without speech, were being discarded because of the exigencies of
sound recording. After the success of Warner Brothers, in the late
1920s the major studios rushed to integrate the new technology. The
Wind suffered the fate of many of the most important non-sound films
made during the period of transition. It was released without the care
required by a film of such unusual qualities. It is perhaps a miracle
that the film survives at all when we remember that two other MGM
films made by Gish at this period and the single film directed by
Seastrom, The Divine Woman, are lost.
Gish and Seastrom had already collaborated with success on The
Scarlet Letter. The Wind is another story of a woman at odds with the
community in which she lives. Letty, the genteel Easterner, is alien to
the rough manners of a prairie village and a prairie husband. The film
expresses this directly, in the dramatization of her disgust when her
sister-in-law butchers a side of beef, when her husband tries to kiss
her, and when she tries in vain, to prettify their cabin. The Wind also
depicts the disintegration of Letty’s mind and spirit in this hostile
world. Letty not only acts; she is acted upon by the elements, in
particular the sand incessantly blown in the wind. It comes in through
the cracks in the door, and she is as helpless to stop its invasion of the
physical space as she is helpless to prevent it from driving her mad.
The Wind repeatedly tests the body of the actress against the presence
of nature. Even in the tacked-on happy ending mandated by the
studio—Gish stretching in the doorway, defying the wind and em-
bracing her husband—the cinematic body becomes a measure of nature.
Left alone during a particularly severe storm, Letty’s anxiety
mounts. She is raped by a travelling man and then manages to shoot
him. After burying him, she stares through the window, in mounting
hysteria, as the sand uncovers his body. This sequence is suggestive of
the degree to which director and actress conspire in the creation of
images that contain both the exterior world and the interpretation of
those images. The camera records nature (abetted, it must be admit-
ted, by wind machines). It also frames Gish and her eyes in the
window, an interior frame. These framings, without and within, hold
characters and place in precise narrative equilibrium.

‘‘By courtesy of the wizards of Hollywood The Wizard of Oz
reached the screen yesterday as a delightful piece of wonderworking
which had the youngsters’ eyes shining and brought a quietly amused
gleam to the wiser ones,’’ begins Frank Nugent’s review of The
Wizard of Oz in The New York Times. Produced and distributed by
MGM at a cost of $2.5 million, the film is a tribute to the Hollywood
style and system of filmmaking. It was a bit of ‘‘wonderworking’’
indeed, as this fantasy film would forever alter the course of the
Hollywood film musical.
Begun in 1938, The Wizard of Oz was produced at the apex of the
classic Hollywood era, when MGM had at its disposal the foremost
technical experts available in Hollywood at that time. It was this
standby of talent that made the production of a film like Wizard
feasible. To mount such a project today would cost at least $50
million. Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow), then a contract player at MGM,
explains: ‘‘Working at MGM during that period was the ultimate in
motion picture making, musical or otherwise.’’
Wizard was photographed in a little-used three-strip technicolor
process. In this process, three separate strips of black-and-white film
were exposed through a prism which segregated the three primary
colors. It was an extremely intricate process to handle and required
enormous amounts of light to properly expose. While it was the most
expensive process available to Hollywood at the time, it yielded an
unequaled color quality. The studio chose the three-strip process
because it worked out well with black-and-white stock. The framing
of Dorothy’s fantasy was processed in black-and-white, heightening
the effect of the technicolor journey to Oz. The fact that the three-strip
process originated in a black-and-white stock made this easier.
For these reasons the production of Wizard occurred entirely
indoors on the sound stages of MGM. Because the film was studio-
bound, a lot of responsibility fell on the special effects department.
Mattes were used extensively to give depth to the Kansas landscape,
and a sense of distance to the Land of Oz. Intricate trick photography
was employed to allow a bicyclist and a man rowing a boat to float
helplessly in a tornado.

No less important was the MGM art department. It was headed at
the time by Cedric Gibbons whose career garnered 11 Academy
Awards while at MGM. Elaborate sets were conceived and con-
structed in full scale to create Oz, the Wicked Witch’s sanctuary, and
the throne room of the Wizard of Oz. Working with the limitations
imposed by the tri-color film process, Gibbon’s department had to
create a color scheme that the film stock could exploit. The result was
a beautiful, color-conscious mise-en-scène.
Perhaps most miraculous was the role played by Jack Dawn and
the MGM makeup department. It was Dawn’s task to take three non-
humans—a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion—and bring them to life.
He had to give them personalities and human characteristics that
would evoke an humanity amidst the costumes dictated by their roles.
This was done convincingly, resulting in three of the most elaborate
makeup/costume designs to date in Hollywood: the costumes did
pose certain critical problems for production, however. Bert Lahr’s
costume for the Cowardly Lion, for instance, weighed nearly 100
pounds. This, coupled with the intense heat caused by the lighting
needed to shoot, made filming for long durations impossible, and the
film had to be shot in segments with a day’s shooting often ending
before a scene was complete. As a result, before the next day’s
shooting could begin, makeup had to be meticulously matched and
perfectly recreated to retain consistency. Daily rushes were used to
aid this process. While this precision slowed down the production, the
commitment to perfection became a trademark of MGM.
For their efforts both Jack Dawn and Cedric Gibbons received
Academy Award nominations (though Gibbon’s contract insured that
his name would appear in the credits of all MGM films regardless of
his involvement). This recognition, while falling on individuals, was
no less a tribute to the system. It was a recognition of the elaborate
collaborative nature of Hollywood filmmaking.
Though Wizard remains an elaborate technical achievement for its
time, the technology involved has since become obsolete. Perhaps the
longterm contribution of the film is the precedent it set for the type of
Hollywood musical identified with MGM. Wizard was perhaps the
earliest example of what came to be called the ‘‘integrated musical.’’
Traditionally, music in films had been incorporated in a performance
setting, establishing logical moments in which to include musical
numbers, such as the review films of the thirties, including Golddiggers
and Forty-Second Street. In The Wizard of Oz the music became
another dimension of the characters’ language, an extension of their
personalities and feelings. There is no intrinsic logic in Dorothy’s
singing ‘‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow,’’ but it is understood as
a viable expression of some inner longing. The film narrative is
advanced by musical numbers. Songs often replace dialogue as when
the Munchkins pay tribute to Dorothy for killing their nemesis, the
Wicked Witch of the East. In Wizard, music isn’t a digression, but
instead a fundamental part of the narrative structure.
The Wizard of Oz has witnessed more than 20 years of revival on
both television and in theaters, remaining widely popular. Interna-
tionally, the film has enjoyed wider distribution than any other
American film in history—fantasy, musical or otherwise. It would
seem that the directness of the film’s message—‘‘There’s no place
like home’’—and the sincerity of its presentation is the key. However,
beneath the fantasy is one of the most polished and elaborate
productions ever mounted in Hollywood. The film remains a re-
minder of that as well.

***
George Cukor’s The Women, a comedy with an unabashedly
misogynist premise, occupies a curious position in the work of
a Hollywood artist celebrated for directing sympathetic, women-
centred narratives. The Women, promoted and critically received as
a sophisticated bitch-fest, capitalized as much on the well-publicized
professional rivalry between MGM’s leading stars—Joan Crawford,
Norma Shearer, and Rosalind Russell—as upon Cukor’s perceived
ability to ‘‘handle’’ them.
Mary (Shearer), an upper-middle-class beauty, discovers her
husband’s affair with a streetsmart shopgirl (Crawford). Mary’s
marital troubles are publicly monitored by the women in her life who
alternately gossip, scheme, and offer advice, all the while embroiled
in their own less-than-successful relationships.
Initially The Women seems little more than an annoying, woman-
against-woman film. From its notorious opening ‘‘menagerie’’ se-
quence to the final shot of a repentant Shearer rushing to surrender
herself to domestic bliss, the film vigorously sustains the notion that
a ‘‘natural’’ enmity exists between women. Nevertheless, despite the
film’s decidedly pre-feminist consciousness, The Women provides
moments of pleasure and strong identifications with such powerful,
glamorous, and uncompromising star presences as Crawford, Shearer,
and Russell, each equal combatants in a dazzling war of words.
Paradoxically, the all-female cast of The Women results in the
predominance of a masculine ‘‘presence’’ that serves to organize the
narrative; absent men are the sole and unquestioned objects of
feminine desire in the film’s chaotically comic universe. Yet a subtle
tension exists between this silent, monolithic male ‘‘voice’’ and the
multitude of feminine voices that appear to have internalized all of its
demands. Women offer advice that seems to wholly endorse a system
of patriarchal values; yet, while the voice of feminine experience
prescribes submissive behaviour, silence, and compromise, the women
themselves rarely exhibit any of these ‘‘qualities.’’ In fact, submis-
sive behaviour is revealed as little more than a fabulously calculated
performance, silence only signals a retreat before a relentless barrage

1327
of feminine wit, and compromise becomes an aggressive tactic
deployed to ensure survival.
Despite the unseen male that divides the women from one another,
each woman discovers strength and wields power in an ever-shifting
series of strictly female alliances; such power is further exercised and
regulated as a relentless discourse that operates and intersects at all
levels of class, age, and experience. Further, the film’s ‘‘blissful’’
resolution is complicated when romantic love and bourgeois domes-
ticity are comically exposed as cynical constructions that afford
women their only hope for economic security or social status. Mary
rushes to stand by her man, but only after she has shed all of her
notions about the ‘‘naturalness’’ of marriage. Peggy’s (Fontaine)
ecstatic telephone reconciliation with her controlling husband comes
only after she reviews the grim options open to her as a single,
pregnant woman.
Crystal, the film’s nominal ‘‘bad’’ woman, has much in common
with Miriam (Goddard), the tough chorus girl who counsels Mary on
sexual tactics and survival. Both Crystal (the leopard) and Miriam
(the fox) exist outside the domesticated menagerie associated with the
other women. The showdown between the ‘‘good’’ and the ‘‘bad’’
women is evenly matched, with Mary’s patrician superiority losing
the first round to Crystal’s streetwise cool. Mary eventually triumphs,
yet Crystal’s defeat is temporary at best, and she delivers the final,
cutting word.
While voices in The Women may be pitched to suggest the
incoherent chattering of animals, words are, in fact, wielded with
deadly efficiency and precision. Anita Loos, who completed the final
version of the screenplay with Jane Murfin, claimed: ‘‘It’s always
been men who find The Women offensive’’ (see Gary Carey’s Anita
Loos: A Biography). Loos’ comment underscores the way in which
women’s ability to master and deploy language can provoke fear and
resentment in men, a theme in other Cukor films such as Born
Yesterday (1950) and My Fair Lady (1964).
The Women ‘‘naturalizes’’ the inequities of the power struggle
that exists between men and women, yet it also recognizes the
economic powerplay that exists between women. The Women reflects
a sympathy for the shopgirls, servants, and beauticians who are as
actively engaged in the exchange of information as are their privi-
leged, female employers. Further, the working-class women that
populate the film’s upper-middle-class setting include black women
who are not only subject to the whims of the rich but who are also
engaged in economic struggles with other white working-class women.
Women’s experiences become dramas that the characters literally
perform for one another; women re-enact seduction scenes, quarrels,
and private conversations in loving detail to rapt audiences. Women
recount their life stories, exchange confidences, and inspect each
other to the point of obsessiveness. While the absent male is often
invoked, each woman remains entirely focused on other women. In
fact, The Women’s dark and horrific inverse can be found in Cukor’s
later film, Gaslight (1944), which dramatizes the deterioration of
a woman kept in isolation. If the explicit project of The Women is to
present the ‘‘truth’’ about women’s relationships with one another,
the film indirectly dramatizes the potential power of feminine alli-
ances (even if, in the end, the enmity between these articulate, tough,
and glamorous women diffuses any threat they might pose to
male power).
Far from being passive receptacles or glamorous, fetishized ob-
jects that simply reflect male desire or anxiety, these women are
continually at work shoring up, reinscribing, or controlling their
positions as objects of desire. Mary’s mother explains to her daughter
that women have the ability to reinvent themselves while men can
only see a new self ‘‘reflected in some woman’s eyes.’’ Indeed,
women exercise power using the options available to them, reinventing
themselves through fantasy or fashion. Even if the issues of feminine
desire and sexuality remain themselves buried, they nonetheless
invariably re-emerge in a torrential flood of language.
Sidney’s Beauty Salon becomes a site not only for women to talk,
but to watch other women. The ‘‘Jungle Red’’ nail polish that
circulates within this enclosed female community acquires meaning
and significance, not merely as a violent and fetishized image, but as
a glamorous extension that empowers women to move further away
from the domestic enclosure inhabited by Mary and Peggy, and closer
to the dangerous, untamed sexuality of Crystal, whose gaze, when
trained upon the masculine subject, is reported to have the illuminat-
ing power of a ‘‘searchlight.’’
Indeed, women scrutinize each other, eye to eye, under the
magnifying glasses at the beauty salon, and Sylvia (Russell) actually
wears a suit emblazoned with applique eyes. In the end, Crystal turns
her ‘‘searchlight’’ eyes upon Mary, in a gesture of defiance that
threatens, if only momentarily, the passivity which defines the
domestic concerns of the narrative. While Cukor’s film remains
disappointing for its overt endorsement of patriarchal values, pleasure
is nonetheless generated by powerful women who are as obsessed
with looking as they are with speaking.

Dusan Makavejev’s W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism opens with
the statement; ‘‘This film is in part a personal response to the life and
teachings of Dr. Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957).’’ Part documentary,
part narrative fiction, part examination of contemporary American
sexual mores, and part condemnation of the legacy of Stalin in the
Eastern Block, W.R. uses the career of Wilhelm Reich as a spring-
board from which to tackle the still burning issue of the relationship of
political oppression to sexual repression.
Both a colleague of Sigmund Freud and a member of the German
Communist Party in the 1920s, Reich was one of the first psychoanalysts
to attempt to show the importance of the relationship between the
individual psyche and the material relations of production. For Reich,
sexual repression was one of the by-products of class oppression,
sexual liberation one of the goals of a revolutionary struggle. After
organizing a group called SEXPOL to further develop his ideas of
radical psychotherapy, Reich was thrown out of the Communist Party
for advocating the ideas of Freud and kicked out of German psycho-
analytic circles for being a Marxist. Fleeing Hitler, Reich immigrated
to the United States in 1934; he set up a clinic in a small town in
Maine. In 1956, he was arrested for quackery, his books burned; he
died in a federal prison in 1957.
After moving to the United States, Reich renounced his earlier
Marxist theories and often boasted of voting for Eisenhower. Interest-
ingly, in W.R., Makavejev focuses on this Reich—the later, American
Reich—and on the development of his therapy techniques in the
United States and Britain (outside a socialist context). Most of the
first part of the film examines this Reich—through interviews with his
relatives, his American neighbours, his students, even his barber—
and the state of American sexual mores after Reich, but before the
Sexual Revolution. An editor of Screw magazine conducts business in
the buff and then has his penis plastercasted. Jackie Curtis discusses
her sex change and the romantic difficulties it created as Pepsi ads
blare over the radio. Tuli Kupferberg engages in guerilla street
theater, roaming New York and fondling his toy M-16 like a giant
phallus. New York shows signs of sexual emancipation, but it is
commercialized. It supports rather than contradicts American capital-
ism and militarism; it bears no resemblance to Reich’s notion of
‘‘worker democracy.’’
The last half of W.R., a fictional allegory, takes place in Yugo-
slavia—a country which is presented as a land caught between Stalin
and the U.S. dollar, where ‘‘Marx Factor’’ rules. A young worker,
Milena, calls for the end of sexual repression in post-revolutionary
Yugoslav society. However, after breaking off her relationship with
the worker next door, Milena can only make up sermons on the value
of free love, while her roommate puts the theory into practice by
exuberantly screwing a member of the army home on leave. At
a performance of the Soviet Ice Capades, Milena sees and falls in love
with Vladimir Ilyich, a handsome young skating star. (Of course, this
is a self-conscious reference to Lenin, whose real name was Vladimir
Ilyich Ulyanov. In the film, Vladimir Ilyich even recites a number of
Lenin’s more famous sayings verbatim.) Milena seduces Vladimir
Ilyich, but unable to deal with the liberating force of his orgasm,
Vladimir Ilyich goes mad and decapitates Milena with his iceskate. In
the morgue, Milena’s severed head analyzes the problem: ‘‘Vladimir
is a man of noble impetuousness, a man of high ambition, of immense
energy. He’s romantic, ascetic, a genuine Red Fascist Comrades!
Even now I’m not ashamed of my Communist past!’’ The film ends
with a photograph of Reich’s smiling face.
W.R. was the last film Makavejev made in Yugoslavia. After it
was banned there, Makavejev was effectively excluded from the
Yugoslav film industry. Also, although W.R. won the Luis Bu?uel
prize at Cannes in 1971, the film never received a large theatrical
release in the United States, its distribution limited in some areas to
pornography cinemas where it was billed as a ‘‘sex film.’’

The story of the oil-wealthy Hadley children can be seen as the
archetype for decades of melodrama to follow: The abject alcoholic
Kyle and his trampy bleach-blonde sister Marylee are beautiful, filled
with implacable longing and despair, and drive great cars. The stage is
set for a sordid wedding of eros and thanatos by Universal’s ‘‘Stair-
way of the Stars,’’ which sits grandly in the centre of the Hadley
mansion. (The ‘‘stairway’’ is alleged to have a 30-year screen history
and is seen later in Hitchcock’s Marnie, 1964.) The story of Kyle’s
doomed-to-fail marriage to sensible Lucy Moore is complicated by
much gun-waving, bar-brawling and, clothing-changing, as well as
Marylee’s lusty passion for her brother’s best friend, nature-boy
Mitch Wayne (who experiences feelings of a purer sort for Lucy).
Written on the Wind opened to a New York Times (1957) review
that characterized the actors’ performances as ‘‘absurd’’ and criti-
cized the plot, where ‘‘nothing really happens’’ and the central
character as ‘‘sloppy, self-pitying, and a bore.’’ But in the years that
have elapsed since its premier, it is precisely these characteristics that
have transformed the film into a critical darling. The rise of director
Sirk’s reputation as an author, the influence on film theory of German
dramatist Bertolt Brecht’s ideas, and the appropriation of psychoa-
nalysis by film scholars have made Written on the Wind a central text
for feminist and genre critics. There is no firm consensus on the film’s
status as a powerful critique of patriarchal capitalism, but few would
dispute its canonization as an enduring camp classic that solicits both
laughter and tears—often in the same moments.
Hard-working city girl Lucy marries Kyle after he reveals his
troubled lineage and self-loathing on an airplane ride above ‘‘the big
poker table.’’ (‘‘Down there I’m a guy with too many chips. Throw’em
up in the air and a few end up on my shoulders.’’) But the gun that
Lucy finds under his pillow on their honeymoon is much smaller than
the double-barrel shotgun Mitch totes around. ‘‘Let’s call it a weak-
ness,’’ suggests Doctor Cochran when Kyle inquires about his lack of
success in producing a Hadley heir, and his sense of his failed
masculinity increases exponentially.
Meanwhile, Marylee engages in various stunts to capture Mitch’s
attention (among other things), all of them unsuccessful but highly
entertaining to watch (especially in the light of queer readings of Rock
Hudson’s performance). Marylee gives her long-suffering father
a heart attack when police find her in a motel room tryst with a gas
station attendant and, in perhaps the most cinematic patricide Holly-
wood ever produced, she dances wildly in her room as he plummets
down 48 stairs to his death.
These two plot trajectories converge when Lucy becomes preg-
nant and Kyle, thick in the drunken haze into which he descends after
learning of his ‘‘weakness,’’ suspects that it is Mitch’s baby. Kyle hits
Lucy and causes her to miscarry. This incurs the wrath of Mitch,
whose shoulders seem even wider than Joan Crawford’s when he
bellows her line from Mildred Pierce (1945), ‘‘Get out before I kill
you!’’ Unfortunately for Mitch, this crack in his otherwise stoic
veneer is key to implicating him in Kyle’s subsequent death. Marylee’s
first and final act of ‘‘goodness,’’ revealing Mitch’s innocence at his
murder trial, leaves Mitch free to go away with Lucy and leaves
Marylee alone, sitting behind her father’s desk in a drab grey suit,
caressing a miniature oil derrick.
Early critical interest in Douglas Sirk focused on his expressive
mis-en-scène: the affective use of decor and costuming, dramatic
framing and lightning, and links to painting and music. These are all
clearly significant elements in Written on the Wind, where a highly
authentic recreation of the ‘‘21 Club’’ is juxtaposed with ridiculous
rear-projections and back-drops, and characters are surrounded by
eerily coloured walls and mirrored surfaces. But discussion beyond
these arenas was minimal until almost ten years after Sirk’s last
Hollywood film (Imitation of Life, 1959). An increased enthusiasm
for his films (particularly the Universal melodramas, c. 1954–59) was
fuelled by new ideas about understanding contradiction-riddled Hol-
lywood films as ripping themselves apart at the seams: blatantly
artificial acting, garish stylization and implausible plot lines became
the hallmark of a self-conscious, subversive cinema. Such a reading
of Written on the Wind was encouraged by Sirk himself, who worked
with Brecht in the German theatre and believed in his principles
(hinging on the idea of audience distanciation which results in
detached intellectual analysis rather than emotional catharsis). An
eloquent expositor of the theories behind his films, discussing his
intentions in an age where authorship mattered, Sirk drew a meticu-
lous road map by which the convoluted paths of his films could be
followed and understood in a politically progressive way.
But regardless of Sirk’s intellectual predilections, the man who is
reported to have once said, ‘‘Cinema is blood, tears, violence, hate,
WUTAI JIEMEI FILMS, 4

death, and love’’ was never one to make an academic film. At the end
of Written on the Wind, we are left with the memory of Kyle’s voice as
he wraps his arms around his knees and cries, ‘‘I don’t even love
myself,’’ and the images of amber liquor thrown against a mirror, the
black bow of a funeral wreath as it blows across an empty driveway,
and Marylee’s diaphanous pink negligee swirling about her sun-
tanned legs.
German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder writes, ‘‘For Doug-
las Sirk, madness is a sign of hope, I think.’’ If Fassbinder was right,
then the true tragedy of Written on the Wind lies not in its characters’
excesses, but in their apparent ‘‘normalization.’’ Mitch and Lucy may
‘‘escape’’ from the Hadley household, but it is at the expense of the
only people who ever really knew what was wrong with it.

***
When Xie Jin made Two Stage Sisters in 1964, it marked the
culmination of a certain aesthetic thrust within post-1949 Chinese
cinema. At this time, Xie Jin already had a reputation for making films
with strong female protagonists and clearly revolutionary themes,
including Woman Basketball Player #5 (1957) and The Women’s Red
Army Detachment (1961). As a part of the first generation of filmmakers
to come of age after the Revolution, Xie embarked on his career at
a time when the new People’s Republic of China was searching for its
own identity outside as well as within the cinematic world. Blending
elements of Hollywood melodrama, Soviet socialist realism, pre-war
Chinese critical realism, and folk opera traditions, Two Stage Sisters
can be looked at as an answer (particularly after the Sino-Soviet split
in the late 1950s) to what a peculiarly Chinese socialist film should
look like. Using the lives of women in an all-female Shaoxing opera
troupe to represent the changes the Revolution brought, Xie Jin,
working from an original script (unusual in an industry which still
bases most of its productions on well-known literary works), also
used the setting as a way of exploring the tremendous aesthetic,
cultural, and social changes that gripped modern China.
Covering the years 1935 through 1950, Two Stage Sisters focuses
on the lives of two very different women. One, Chunhua (Xie Fang),
is a young widow who runs away from her in-laws and finds sanctuary
in the world of Shaoxing opera. The other, Yuehong (Cao Tindi), is
born into that world. Both suffer the hardships of the life of itinerant
performers. However, when they find themselves in Shanghai, Chunhua
throws herself into her career and eventually into revolutionary
politics, while Yuehong chooses a romance with their prosperous and
ruthless theatrical manager. After 1949, both return to the countryside—
Chunhua with a travelling Communist theatrical troupe and Yuehong
to eke out a living after being abandoned by her husband. The film
ends with the sisters’ reunion; however, the fate of Yuehong remains
somewhat uncertain despite the films generally optimistic resolution.
In spite of the extremely positive view of revolutionary change the
film puts forward, Two Stage Sisters was suppressed during the
Cultural Revolution and only really came to the screen in the late
1970s. The reasons behind this range from the personal displeasure of
Jiang Qing (Madame Mao—then in power as head of ‘‘The Gang of
Four’’) with one of the advisors on the film to its condemnation as
WUTAI JIEMEIFILMS, 4
th
EDITION
1333
Wutai jiemei
‘‘bourgeois’’ for incorporating characters which were neither ‘‘good’’
nor ‘‘bad’’ vis-à-vis the Revolution (e.g., Yuehong) and thus opening
the text to ambiguous readings. Unfortunately, looking at Two Stage
Sisters as some sort of veiled statement against either Mao or the
Revolution misses the point. The film really must be taken as
a contribution to the construction of socialist film aesthetics in China,
even though it represents a very different path than that taken by
Madame Mao in her support for the highly stylized ‘‘model opera.’’
Two Stage Sisters represents an eclectic aesthetic that blends the
critical vigor of the ‘‘golden era’’ of left-wing filmmaking of 1930s
Shanghai with the ‘‘revolutionary romanticism’’ of the arts that
developed in Yenan, where the Chinese Communist Party had a strong-
hold during World War II. Like many earlier Shanghai films, Two
Stage Sisters has a Hollywood flavor. After all, it deals with the
occasionally glamorous world of the opera stage and the lives of its
charismatic stars. Also, like its Shanghai predecessors, the film has
a critical realist’s eye for the gritty details of urban life. From Yenan,
however, Two Stage Sisters takes its heroic elevation of ordinary
people through the revolutionary process, its interest in folk life and
folk aesthetics, and an often ethereal, fairytale-like quality which
comes from a blend of these folk roots with political idealism. To all
this, the sobriety of the historical moment, an interest in looking at the
nature of class oppression, feudal gender relations, nationalism, and
the Japanese occupation within a dialectical framework grounds Two
Stage Sisters within the tradition of its better known Soviet cinematic
cousins. Its sweep from the poor villages of Zhejiang province to the
grandeur of the Shanghai opera stage puts it within a tradition of epic
socialist dramas made in other post-revolutionary societies.
However, Two Stage Sisters seems to add up to more than the sum
of its aesthetic parts. Perhaps this is due to the elaborate mirror
structure of the film which uses the world of the stage as an aesthetic
reflection of the changes taking place in the lives of the film’s
characters. The Shaoxing opera stage, for example, represents an
inverse reflection of the feudal world of the countryside. Whereas the
stage features stories of warrior heroines and romances between
beautiful ladies and young scholars, the actual conditions the ac-
tresses live in show a world of poverty, oppression, and constant
humiliation at the hands of men.
In Shanghai, Two Stage Sisters shows a different kind of opera
emerging. Based on the work of the radical author Lu Xun, this new
opera goes outside the realm of highly stylized heroines and the
fantasy of romance to deal with the poor and the homeless. Decidedly
WUTAI JIEMEI FILMS, 4
th
EDITION
1334
anti-romantic, it features the gritty, everyday world of contemporary
Chinese life.
Lastly, Two Stage Sisters features opera after the Revolution with
a snippet from The White-Haired Girl, perhaps the best-known
revolutionary play to emerge from Yenan. It has the folkloric roots of
Shaoxing and the critical sensibilities of Lu Xun blended together
within a fantasy which features an everyday woman who becomes
a revolutionary heroine.
All three of these aesthetic traditions are self-consciously repre-
sented in Two Stage Sisters. They serve as markers of historical
change. They also allow the viewer a certain ironic distance from the
drama to stand back and place the film’s fiction within a broader
political and cultural context. However, more than simply document-
ing aesthetic and social changes by incorporating these opera allu-
sions, Two Stage Sisters chronicles its own roots, giving the viewer
a rare glimpse of the history behind Chinese film aesthetics of the
mid-1960s. It is as a document of this unique Chinese socialist
cinematic sensibility that Two Stage Sisters is particularly important
to an understanding of Chinese film culture as well as socialist cinema
aesthetics in general.

Ousmane Sembène’s Xala is the fourth major film by one of black
Africa’s most important directors. Based on Sembène’s novel of the
same title, Xala demonstrates his ongoing social, political, and
cultural concerns. Sembène had previously attacked the relatively
easy targets of European racism (Black Girl), African bureaucracy
(The Money Order), and past colonialism (Lords of the Sky), but here
he denounces the neo-colonial deformities resulting from the collabo-
ration of European businessmen and African elite.
Sembène structures his film around the concept of xala—in
Wolof, a state of temporary sexual impotence. The protagonist, El
XALA FILMS, 4
th
EDITION
1336
Xala
Hadji, is a polygamous Senegalese businessman who becomes af-
flicted with xala on the occasion of taking his third wife. In search of
a cure, he visits various witchdoctors, who take his money but fail to
cure him. At the same time, he suffers reverses in business, is accused
of embezzlement, and ejected from the Chamber of Commerce. In the
end, he discovers that the xala resulted from a curse sent by a Dakar
beggar whose land El Hadji had expropriated. The protagonist finally
recovers his manhood by submitting to the beggar’s demands that he
strip and be spat upon; the film ends with a freeze-frame of his spittle-
covered body.
On a psychological level, xala functions as a truth-teller. El Hadji
has taken a third wife purely for reasons of sexism and conspicuous
consumption. ‘‘Every polygamous man,’’ his daughter tells him, ‘‘is
a liar,’’ and although his mouth can lie, his penis cannot. The xala, on
one level, constitutes the revenge of the women in the film; on
another, it is the revenge of the oppressed classes of Senegal,
represented by the beggars who have been defrauded by the new
African bourgeoisie. On still another level, the xala symbolizes the
political and economic impotence of the many newly established
independent countries. El Hadji, with his Europeanized habits and
tastes, encapsulates the conditions of neo-colonialism, in which an
African elite takes over the positions formerly occupied by the
colonizers.
Sembène portrays this elite as a kind of caricature of the European
bourgeoisie. In the pre-credit sequence, we see them throw out the
Europeans and take over the Chamber of Commerce. While their
public speeches are in Wolof and their dress African, they speak
French among themselves and reveal European suits underneath their
African garb. (Continuing indirect European domination is under-
lined by the immediate return of the same Europeans as ‘‘advisors.’’)
The Senegalese businessmen slavishly adore all that is European.
They pour imported mineral water into the radiators of the Mercedes,
and one complains that he no longer visits Spain because there are
‘‘too many blacks.’’ The elite, in other words, have absorbed Euro-
pean racism and paradoxically turned it against themselves. At the
same time, the film reminds us of the presence of the uncorrupted
poor who look in on the ostentatious wedding celebration, and linger
in the streets outside El Hadji’s office. By spitting on El Hadji, they

Sembène masterfully deploys a diversity of narrative and aesthetic
strategies in Xala. At times, his approach is allegorical, as in the
satirical scene involving the African take-over of the Chamber of
Commerce, a moment clearly evoking the historical juncture of
formal independence. Each of the key women in the film has an
allegorical dimension in that each represents a different stage of
African history. Awa, with her traditional clothes and manners,
represents the pre-colonial African woman. Omui, with her wigs,
sunglasses, and low-cut dress, represents the colonized woman who
imitates European fashions. El Hadji’s daughter Rama, finally, repre-
sents an ideal synthesis of Africa and Europe. She speaks Wolof but
studies French; she rides a moped, practical and inexpensive. She is
culturally proud and politically aware, but she can also appreciate
Charlie Chaplin, whose poster decorates her wall.
Sembène’s achievement is that he has made an accessible political
film, which speaks honestly to the problems of post-independent
Africa, while skillfully orchestrating realism, humor, satire, and
allegory.

Like most Chinese films regarded in the West as art-house
successes, Spring in a Small City is grounded in a popular genre—in
this case, the wenyi movie. ‘‘Wenyi’’ is the term Chinese critics use to
refer to the melodrama, and is abbreviated from the Chinese words for
literature (wenxue) and art (yishu), the nearest Chinese equivalents to
signify melos and drama. ‘‘Wenyi’’ therefore denotes a genre that is
more ‘‘cultured’’ and cerebral (as opposed to a genre that is martial
and action-oriented), biased towards women, and hosting a cast of
highly literate characters. Films roughly classified as family soap
operas or, more usually, love stories, fall within the realm of wenyi
melodramas. Perhaps the prime characteristic of the wenyi melo-
drama in the love story category is the romantic triangle—the classic
situation of a woman caught between her husband and lover.
In Spring in a Small City, Zhou Yuwen (Wei Wei) is the married
female protagonist who has been nursing a sick husband, Dai Liyan
(Shi Yu), for most of their marriage. One day, Dai’s best friend,
Zhang Zhichen (Li Wei) turns up in their dilapidated mansion,
bombed during the war. Coincidentally, Zhichen happens to be
Yuwen’s former lover. During Zhichen’s stay, Yuwen attempts to
rekindle their affair. An extraordinary seduction scene takes place in
which Yuwen wavers between libertarian abandonment and consci-
entious adherence to her personal obligations to custom and duty. As
she seduces Zhichen, Yuwen intermittently covers her face with a silk
scarf—an action that reveals her moral dilemma: should she leave her
husband or see through her duties as a wife? The silk scarf seems to
imply a tone of light-hearted coquetry but is in fact, a fitting symbol
for the psychological fragility of Yuwen and the delicate caution with
which she approaches her dilemma.
Spring in a Small City can be seen as the acme of the wenyi movie
because its high artistic and stylistic achievement has elevated the
theme of the romantic triangle into classic heights. It offers a lasting
model of wenyi movies that has as its centre a woman of repressed
desires poised to make certain choices—whether to take the plunge
(to fulfill her desires) or to pull back from the brink. The aesthetic and
psychological momentum of the film makes clear that Yuwen’s
choice is not a simple one. The choice is between instinct (love) and
institution (marriage), personal motivation and tradition. Should she
leave her husband, she discards all that is implied by tradition
(repression and mental agony along with the sense of duty, loyalty,
and security). Although her choice in the end to stay with her husband
is determined by events (the husband attempts suicide and is saved by
Zhichen, who is a doctor), it is as if tradition has proven to be too
innate a factor to be easily discarded—it is something, in fact, that
could have pre-determined the outcome.
Tradition, in the form of an ethical conservatism, is the lynchpin of
the movie. All the characters are bound by such a tradition. Director
Fei Mu works on the Confucian maxim of ‘‘desire bound by ethics’’
(fahu qing, zhihu li: literally, to express emotion or desire, to stop at
the point of ethics). His style is completely refined by this maxim. He
punctuates his scenes with subtle reminders of musical and poetic
rhythm; his sets are spare but filled with reminders of a once opulently
endowed manor-house; and Yuwen’s narrative, which carries the
psychological weight of the whole film, is never overloaded—it
complements the poetic intensity of her desires and illustrates the
ethical limits of her role as a Chinese woman and wife.
The inherent conservatism of the tradition theme, with its humani-
tarian, moral-ethical considerations, has never come out so succinctly
in the wenyi genre or even tackled with such aesthetic conviction in
the history of Chinese cinema (one film that comes close is Fei Mu’s
own earlier classic Filial Piety/Tian Lun, made in 1935—a wenyi film
of another order, dealing with the family as the highest of Confucian
institutions). It is perhaps this factor that has put the film in cold
XIAO CHENG ZHI CHUN FILMS, 4

storage in Mainland China all these years. Fei Mu’s aesthetic style
was dismissed in Cheng Jihua’s standard History of the Development
of Chinese Cinema as ‘‘playing up the decadent emotions of a declin-
ing bourgeois class’’ (translation is author’s own).
In addition, the tone and mood of the film (exacerbated by its post-
war setting amidst ruins and featuring a sick husband whose bleak
outlook on life leads his wife to contemplate an affair with his friend,
her ex-lover) was seen as too negative for the period just when the
Communist Party was on the verge of victory in the Civil War. The
film’s critical fortunes revived slightly with the opening up of China
in the late ‘70s; it was shown for the first time outside of China in
Hong Kong in 1983 and exerted an influence on films such as Stanley
Kwan’s Rouge/Yanzhi Kou (1989). But it is only now in the 1990s that
this masterpiece is beginning to be exposed to the world beyond
China and Hong Kong.

Yaaba first brought international recognition to Idrissa Ouedraogo,
winning the International Critics Prize at the Cannes Film Festival,
the Special Jury Prize at FESPACO, and the Sakura Gold Prize at the
Tokyo International Film Festival. Yaaba is indeed one of the finest
African films. A beautifully filmed morality tale of superstition and
intelligence, it touchingly conveys the humanity of its characters and
offers a message of tolerance. And it is one of the few African films to
have achieved a measure of commercial distribution: in France it sold
close to 300,000 seats.
Yaaba distinguishes itself from Western films set in Africa by
a whole set of characteristics that make it a distinctly African film:
characters, setting, pacing, language, music, and last, but certainly not
least, finance. Yaaba takes us to an all-African context where we
come to know a wide range of distinctly drawn characters. The film
focuses on people and their interactions rather than the setting. The
camera allows us to see the beauty in their faces. Yaaba is set in the
Sahel, which holds no particular attractions or excitement: the fauna
is limited; we never get to see any game; the desert does not threaten
rapid death, even if droughts are a recurring calamity; nor are there
any dangers lurking in the dark. In stark contrast to Western films,
Yaaba follows a slow peasant mode: Ouedraogo takes his time with
long scenes, the camera leisurely pans the wide open landscape,
following the slow progress of characters dwarfed by the vast
expanse, e.g. Sana on her way to the healer. In this respect Yaaba
follows a pattern established by Gaston Kaboré in Wend Kuuni, the
pioneering attempt to ‘‘Africanize’’ film language by unfolding at
a measured pace consonant with the time-honored customs and
seasonal rhythms of African village life. All speech in Yaaba is in
Moré, the language of the Mossi villagers it portrays. Indeed, if
viewers are so inclined, they can learn some Moré as they keep
counting with Bila and Nopoko, the two children, playing their
games; they can pick up a greeting, and perhaps a couple of insults
too; they will certainly remember that yaaba means grandmother. The
music in Yaaba is credited to Francis Bebey, a well-known writer,
poet, and composer-performer from Cameroon. It is used sparingly.
Gentle music accompanies the inteludes when long shots take in the
countryside. A faster rhythm conveys drama as in the prelude to the
fight of the boys and during the burial of Sana.
Like all African films, Yaaba is a low-budget production: it cost
6 million francs, about one million dollars. Though many African
films suffer from shortcomings that can be traced to financial constraints,
Idrissa Ouedraogo managed to produce a first rate film. He accom-
plished this feat by taking on the roles of both writer and director, by
shooting the film in Tougouzagué, a village a few miles from his birth
place, and by recruiting villagers and his relatives to act—and getting
them to act naturally.
Yaaba was a low-budget production, but it nevertheless required
financing from overseas sponsors—like most African films produced
outside Nigeria and South Africa. In this case financial support came
from France, Switzerland, and Germany. Whatever Ouedraogo’s
preferred audience, this sponsorship presumably determined that the
film should aim to reach a Western audience. Anybody familiar with
village life in Africa wonders whether presenting Bila and Nopoko as
YANZHI KOU FILMS, 4
th
EDITION
1340
single children is intended to obviate the difficulty for Western
viewers of distinguishing them from their siblings; whether it is all
that common for Mossi peasant women to have the final say like
Bila’s mother; whether the drunkard-wife-lover triangle is more the
classic French film scenario than Mossi village reality. The close-ups
of the lovers may be seen to play to Western expectations, the
parsimonious dialogue complemented by body language—gestures,
laughter, raspberries—serving to limit tiresome sub-titles.
Ouedraogo has explained that ‘‘Yaaba is based on tales of my
childhood and on that kind of bedtime story-telling we hear just
before falling asleep.’’ And indeed, the film portrays a village out of
history. Nothing takes the viewer to pre-colonial times, nor is there
any indication of a colonial presence. But if the action is contempo-
rary, the village appears altogether isolated. There is no trace of
government, taxes, schools, or clinics. Market relations do not reach
beyond a big tree within walking distance where a few people gather
with local products, even though coins are common: the diviner
demands them, the beggar collects them, the children wager them.
And in Burkina Faso, where at any one time about ten percent of the
population work outside the country on a temporary basis, there is no
indication that any migrant ever returned to this village, no trace of
anything he might have sent, or brought, or be using now, no
transistor radio, not even a single t-shirt. Yaaba portrays a village such
as would be hard to find in Africa today—or anywhere else for
that matter.
An ordinary village that time forgot is unlikely to hold much
interest for African audiences. Rather, a film of an African village
supposedly isolated since times immemorial seeks to reach a Western
audience that is interested in such a different culture, but wants to be
diverted rather than be reminded of the West’s role in slavery and
colonialism, of the West’s continued dominance in the contemporary
world, of the manifold problems plaguing contemporary Africa.
Western viewers may appreciate their good luck of not living in
village poverty, but in Yaaba that poverty is taken for granted, its
causes not at issue. We see the barren landscape of the Sahel, but
people have food reserves to share when a family’s granary burns
down. Sana is destitute because she has been marginalized, not
because of a general state of poverty. The only incident of illness is
the consequence of a fight among children. Nopoko, Bila, and Sana
are beautifully drawn—and their very status, two children and an old
destitute woman, invite the patronizing Western gaze: Western view-
ers are encouraged to strike, once again, a posture of patronizing
benevolence vis-à-vis Africans.
The parallels between Yaaba and Pather Panchali, Satyajit Ray’s
classic portrayal of village life in India, are striking. Both films share
a sense of serenity as they linger at length on natural scenery. And
both avoid the trap of romanticizing village life. Instead they contrast
the quarrels of adults with the complicity between a marginalized old
woman and two children. In each film the link between old and young
is broken when a child touches the seated woman and discovers that
she is dead. Unlike Yaaba, Pather Panchali does situate its story
historically, but the conflicts of the day, land ownership and taxation,
are barely alluded to, caste never at issue.
The isolation of the village in Yaaba leaves aside complex social,
political, and historical issues. Instead the plot turns on superstition
and human foibles. Western audiences are unlikely to connect Sana’s
marginal position to her status as an orphan. Rather, they are
encouraged, once again, to assign superstition to the Other while
taking their own supposed rationality for granted and forgetting how
ready we are to blame others for our misfortunes. There is barely
a hint that the village in a way killed Sana: we saw her exposed to the
rain, and we know that, with her hut burned down, she had no place to
dry herself. The constancy of the two friendships—between the two
children, and between Bila and Sana—assures us that we are witness-
ing a society in harmony but for superstition and personal failings.
The occasional quarrels between Bila and Nopoko dissipate quickly
with a joke and a smile: they make us anticipate their lovers’ quarrels
to come in just a few years’ time. And the tension created between
Bila’s parents by his mother’s affirmative role is contained by her
humor and his father’s acquiescence.
If Yaaba fails to convey the full reality of contemporary African
villages, it shares with most African films a realism in plot that
distinguishes it from much Western film production. This realism is
particularly striking in the ending, which gives us neither happy end
nor great drama: the lovers elope, Sana dies quietly in her sleep, and
Ouedraogo keeps us at a distance as he compresses much of her burial
in a long shot. The woman who saved Nopoko’s life has remained an
outcast, Noaga has been abandoned by his wife, and the camera
lingers on the children who run into the distance and, we may
presume, a better future. Yaaba is an African production, altogether
different from Western films situated in Africa, even as it reaches out
to Western audiences.
Ouedraogo went on to become the most important African
filmmaker since Ousmane Sembène in terms of the quantity of his
production—he has directed seven feature films to date—as well as
the appeal of his films. Two years after Yaaba, Kini and Nopoko
appear as lovers in Ouedraogo’s A Karim na Sala (1991). Tila?,
released in 1990, dramatizes a legend explicitly set in the precolonial
past. Ouedraogo’s film, Kini and Adams, released in 1997, once again
tells a story of friendship. But it is a very different story. From the
constancy of the friendship between two children and an old woman
in a village that time forgot, Ouedraogo takes us to two men
struggling to realize their aspirations in a world that is constantly
changing—even out in the ‘‘bush.’’ Now the endurance of friendship,
however profound, is no longer assured.

There are seemingly mutually contradictory strands that run
through Rouge. It is a deep, serious romance with a somewhat
frivolous veneer (the romance being set in a gaudy, high-class
brothel). It is also a ghost story, set in the modern environment of
YAWAR MALLKU FILMS, 4
th
EDITION
1342
Hong Kong, that evokes virtually none of the gothic suspense or
special effects that are associated with the genre since it is, at the same
time, a love story of the wenyi melodrama genre. It is eerily nostalgic,
recreating the rich textures and atmosphere of a 1930s Hong Kong
brothel and contrasting these with scenes of modern Hong Kong,
vastly changed and still in transition. That the movie comes across as
an atypical Hong Kong production is a comment in itself. It differs
from the normal run of Hong Kong movies that stress action and an
easy facility with modern gadgets, fashions, and values.
The film brings out the starkness of these contradictions and pin-
points an irony, by deliberately placing its narrative in the past and the
present. In present Hong Kong, a thoroughly modern city, there is
little or no trace of the past. Yet Rouge evokes a past through its tale of
the ghost Fleur (Anita Mui), a high-class prostitute of the old world
who reappears in modern Hong Kong to search for her lover, the
dilettantish Twelfth Master Chan (Leslie Cheung). Fleur hardly
recognises the city, and it is only with the help of a reporter and his
girlfriend that she is able finally to locate Twelfth Master, who was
supposed to have died with her in a suicide pact (having waited a day
in the nether world—a cycle of fifty years on earth—Fleur decides to
return to earth to look for him).
Through Fleur’s links with the past and a lifestyle that is now lost,
the modern couple realises that Hong Kong has a history and tradition
to call its own. But that history and tradition is marked by loss and
betrayal, signified by Twelfth Master’s failure to die with Fleur.
Twelfth Master has become a lonely old man, subsisting on work as
an extra in a film studio, thus reinforcing the suggestion that he is
living in a private world of make-believe. The modern city of Hong
Kong is of no relevance to Twelfth Master. At the same time, the
couple that helps Fleur begin to question their contemporary values
and the changes which have overcome their city. Thus, Rouge
transcends its contradictory strands by signalling the desire of modern
Hong Kong citizens for self-reflection and the sight of things beyond
their preoccupation with hi-tech modernity and all things glossy and
new. On this basis, Rouge is a rare achievement.
Stanley Kwan’s direction adds a graceful, stylish dimension. His
third film, Rouge represents the director’s breakthrough movie not
only in the assured handling of generic elements (not to mention the
various contradictory strands of the narrative), but also in the depic-
tion of his central character, Fleur. Kwan had acquired a reputation as
a woman’s director, but his characterisation of Fleur as the cultured
artist-prostitute puts him in a special group of filmmakers who
combine social grace with impressionistic creations of memorable
female characters. One thinks of Renoir, Truffaut, and Von Sternberg,
but perhaps the most important aesthetic influence is Fei Mu (with
a particular reference to Fei’s masterpiece, Spring in a Small City),
whose mastery of the wenyi genre is invoked by Kwan not only
through the stylish use of the camera and the mise-en-scéne, but also
through use of a female character as the beguiling epicentre of
the plot.
In addition, Fleur is a character stemming from the fenghua
xueyue vein of popular Chinese culture. Fenghua xueyue (literally,
wind, flower, snow, moon: the term is usually abbreviated to fengyue)
denotes a literary genre of light, frivolous subject matter. In cinema, it
usually denotes a genre of soft-core entertainment. Rouge inherits the
legacy of fengyue literature (and movies) depicting the brothels of old
China and, in particular, Shanghai during its development as a treaty
port in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Fleur is the Hong Kong
Cantonese variation of the classic Shanghai sing-song girl: the
exquisite details of behaviour and mannerisms of these old-world
prostitutes are captured by Stanley Kwan. He wins the hearts of his
audience with Fleur’s highly refined style and melancholy as she
searches for her lost lover—and longs for the old world in the concrete
background of a hopelessly urbanized Hong Kong.

***
The Bolivian fiction feature Yawar Mallku is one of the most
famous examples of Latin American militant cinema. Like most of
these American militant films, this one was made on a modest budget
in spite of major obstacles. Bolivia has no significant filmmaking
traditions or facilities. Mules had to be used to transport the filmmakers
and their equipment to a high and remote Indian community where
parts of the film were shot. The Quechua-speaking Indians of this
Andean community were initially hostile to the filmmakers until
a coca-leaf divination ritual confirmed the filmmakers’ good intentions.
It is in cultural and ideological terms that Yawar Mallku is most
important. This controversial film is a powerful and thorough attack
on United States imperialism. In the film, members of a Progress
Corps (read Peace Corps) working, ironically, in an obstetric clinic,
surgically sterilize unsuspecting Indian women. Jorge Sanjinés, aware of
Bolivia’s historic underpopulation and high infant mortality rate, had
been deeply disturbed by media reports that the U.S. Peace Corps
operated in such a fashion in his country. Though U.S. officials
denied such activities, the film created a furore and, in the opinion of
Sanjinés, was a major factor in the expulsion of the Peace Corps from
Bolivia in 1971.
In Yawar Mallku, U.S. imperialism is not depicted solely as an
attempt to biologically eliminate an ‘‘inferior’’ race, but also as
a more subtle yet all-pervasive force. The theme of cultural imperial-
ism is amply illustrated: the rock music played in the clinic (in
contrast to the indigenous flute music), the American-style clothes
donated to the Indians (in contrast to the traditional, hand-woven
garb), the pin-ups in the house of the Indian who has migrated to La
Paz. Linguistic imperialism is exemplified in a sequence in which an
upper-class Bolivian mother addresses her children in English, a lan-
guage commonly used by the upper classes but generally not available
for study by the Indians. Sanjinés emphasizes the ties of Bolivia’s
ruling classes to U.S. imperialism in a banquet sequence where
leading Bolivian doctors and their U.S. counterparts fail to supply the
blood that a wounded Indian needs to survive. For Sanjinés, U.S.
imperialism is literally and figuratively robbing Bolivian Indians of
their blood—their right to life according to their own traditions and
customs.
Yawar Mallku also paints an unforgettable portrait of a common
figure in modern Bolivia—the rural Indian migrant (Sixto) who seeks
his fortune in the metropolis of La Paz. Sixto attempts to change his
cultural identity by speaking Spanish, wearing Western-style clothes,
and denying his Indian roots. Nevertheless, he remains a member of
a subordinant class and as such he is ‘‘kept in his place’’—begging for
blood for his brother, waiting outside the club, riding in the back of the
truck. At the end of the film, Sixto has adopted Indian clothing and is
returning to his rural community. The final freeze-frame of upraised
rifles suggests that the Indians of the traditional rural communities
must unite in the armed defense of their lives and culture.
The Bolivian government, allegedly at the insistence of U.S.
officials, initially banned Yawar Mallku. After 24 hours, however, the
ban was lifted due to public pressure generated by widespread
protests and demonstrations. Because of its socially significant na-
tional themes and its controversial nature, Yawar Mallku became
immensely popular with Bolivians. Critics continue to regard the film
as a leading example of Latin American militant cinema.

***
Yeelen has provided the West with one of its all too rare glimpses
of African cinema. Made in Mali, it is the fourth full-length feature to
have been directed by Souleymane Cissé, who studied at the VGIK
film school in Moscow under Mark Donskoi. Den Muso (1975) was
the first feature to be shot in Mali in the Bambara tongue and
concerned the plight of child-mothers; Baara (1978) looked at the
problems of the peasantry and the growing working class; Finye
(1982) focussed on student unrest.
After making Finye Cissé said, ‘‘I hope in the future to be able to
make films in which the ancient depths of African culture will surge
up again. To this end, I spend my time visiting old men who tell me
stories of the past, true or mythical. A cinema imitating that of
America or Europe will be in vain. We must immerse ourselves in our
own sources.’’ In Yeelen Cissé has drawn on just such traditional
sources in creating a narrative which describes in stark and elemental
detail (images of light, water, earth, and fire abound in the film)
Nianankoro’s epic quest. He is a young African from Bambara
pursued by his vengeful father, Somo, who has devastating magic
powers that he often uses for evil purposes. Aided by his mother,
Nianankoro sets out both to avoid his father and to seek help
elsewhere. On his journey, dogged by his father, he manages to come
to the aid of a rival tribe which is being attacked. Using magic powers
of his own, Nianankoro repels the would-be invaders and the grateful
king allows him to ‘‘acquire’’ the king’s own wife, Attu, as a gift for
his labours. She subsequently becomes pregnant, and the young
couple finally reach the home of Nianankoro’s uncle, Djigui.
Nianankoro explains to Djigui that his father turned against him
because he wanted to use his magic powers for the common good. The
film ends with a confrontation between father and son in which they
are both destroyed by a blinding light. Attu arrives with her young
son, gathers two fetish objects left behind by the men in their deadly
struggle, then walks away with the child.
For many Western critics the film was perceived in classic
psychoanalytic terms as an Oedipal drama, a conflict between father
and son for control over power and knowledge (indeed Nianankoro’s
‘‘marriage’’ to the king’s wife draws a parallel with Oedipus’s
marriage to his own mother). This appraisal, comforting and familiar
though it is, has not met with the approval of the Africans themselves
who regard psychoanalysis as incompatible with their own cultures,
nor does it do any justice to what, after all, is the major quality of the
film—its extraordinary mythic dimension. As Cissé himself says,
‘‘For every individual imagination is personal, intuitive. For me
imagination is planetary, cosmic.’’ The cosmic is effortlessly repre-
sented by many different aspects of the film: the grandeur of the
landscape, an immensity of sky, a searing relentless sun, the Great
Tree in each village scene under which counsel is taken, a sense of
timelessness in the unfolding of the narrative, and the characters
themselves, who have a universal resonance in the dignity and ardour
of their endeavours. The symbology, too, apparent in the use of
a magic eye which is to be found both in the wing of K?ré, sceptre of
the initiates, and in Somo’s magic pestle, seizes the imagination in
a direct and compelling manner.
Yeelen is a profound evocation of a belief system which is founded
on magic. As Cissé says, ‘‘In Africa we are all believers in magic. But
for Africans, this magic is a part of the everyday experience. What is
thrown into relief is not magic; it is knowledge and the power of
knowledge. People who ignore this will not be able to understand
the film.’’

‘‘When I shot Les Yeux sans visage,’’ Georges Franju recalled, ‘‘I
was told: ‘No sacrilege because of the Spanish market, no nudes
because of the Italian market, no blood because of the French market
and no martyrised animals because of the English market.’ And I was
supposed to be making a horror film!’’ Coming to the horror genre
after co-founding the Cinémathèque Fran?aise, a varied career as
a documentarist (Le Sang des bêtes, Le Grand Méliès), and the
production of a single feature (La Tête contre les murs), Franju was
bringing an unusually high-toned sensibility to a field at that time
being revitalized by the new blood poured into old myths by Hammer
Films in Britain and Roger Corman in the United States. However, for
all his poetic approach, Les Yeux san visage is a triumphantly
disreputable movie, closely allied to the Sadeian strain exemplified in
Britain by Circus of Horrors (with which it shares a fascination with
disfigurement and plastic surgery) and the misanthropic gimmickry
of William Castle, whose The Tingler and The House on Haunted Hill
are still undervalued for their lunatic originality.
The storyline is deliberately rooted in the pulp tradition: a mad
scientist, Dr. Génessier, kidnaps runaway girls for use in his diaboli-
cal experiments. Guilt-ridden because he is responsible for the
disfigurement of his daughter Christiane, Génessier peels the faces of
his victims and tries to graft their beautiful faces onto the girl’s ruined
features. And Franju is not above the usual flaws of the genre: he is
very obviously not interested in the scenes of police investigation
required to keep the plot moving, and he hurries through the mundane
side of the story to get back to the bizarre ménage of the Génessier
household, where Christiane prowls the dark corridors in a long
raincoat and an eerily blank mask, her active eyes the only sign of life.
Pierre Brasseur’s smug scientist is a memorable monster, more
plumply self-satisfied than Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff, mistreating
the vicious dogs who finally tear him to pieces, or presiding imperi-
ously over surgical flayings which are depicted with all the dispas-
sionate bloodiness of an unflinching documentary. But the most
radical departure from the generic norm is the role assigned to Alida
Valli—perhaps a development of the Simone Signoret character in
Les Diaboliques, also written by the Boileau-Narcejac team—who
plays the scientist’s devoted assistant. No hunchbacked Igor figure,
Louise is an ambiguously sexual predator who prowls the streets of
Paris in a 2CV—the car’s appearance given a sinister significance by
Maurice Jarre’s impertinent waltz—searching for the young girls her
master needs for his doomed attempts at redemption.
Les Yeux is a cruel but tender film, with Edith Scob’s extraordinar-
ily delicate performance as Christiane constantly reminding us that
Génessier, however deranged, is sincerely acting out of love. The
gothic trappings of the mystery-plotted first half, during which
Génessier’s house is lent an almost Cocteau-like life of its own by
Eugen Schüfftan’s outstanding photography, give way to a surgical
cool as we follow the apparent success and ultimate disintegration of
Christiane’s latest facial graft. Here, the poignancy of the inevitable
regression to monstrosity is as powerfully expressed as it is in such
related science-fictional narratives as Frankenstein, The Island of
Lost Souls, and Charly. Les Yeux was to remain Franju’s best film, the
one instance of harmony found between pulp poetry and art cinema.
Although derivative of many earlier horrors, in particular Riccardo
Freda’s I vampiri, it even crystallized a certain sub-genre that became
the province of maverick European horror filmmakers, as can be seen
by the echoes in Jesus Franco’s Gritos en la noche and Robert
Hartford-Davis’s Corruption. Franju takes a scalpel to genre cinema,
piercing the conventionality of too many horror movies, and produces
a personal, evocative nightmare fully worthy of comparison with its
equally disturbing, equally Sadeian contemporary, Michael Powell’s
Peeping Tom.

Yojimbo is possibly Akira Kurosawa’s best-known film in the
West, a samurai sword-fighting movie that, though entirely Japanese,
still resonates nicely for Americans used to their own period gun-
fighting film genre, the western, the ‘‘grammar’’ of which Kurosawa
learned from John Ford, just as Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood in
turn learned from Yojimbo. As is typical of much of Kurosawa’s
canon, Yojimbo involves ironies and tensions in its use of its genre,
a mark of this great filmmaker’s innovative approach to conventional
materials. Here, the central figure of the samurai, involved with the
town and yet distant from it, becomes a metaphor for anyone torn
between active opposition to evil and the far safer course of staying on
the sidelines.

According to Donald Ritchie in The Films of Akira Kurosawa
(1970), Kurosawa consciously set out to deal with the problem of
choice when ‘‘both sides are equally bad.’’ Toshiro Mifune plays
Sanjuro Kawabatake, a ronin, a masterless samurai who happens on
a dreary small town evenly divided between a silk merchant and
a sake merchant, Tazaemon and Tokuemon. As their echoing names
suggest, there is little from which to choose between these two
worthies, the feud having reached the point at which hope for sensible
compromise has been overwhelmed by mindless hatred. It is 1860,
and in his wanderings as an unattached ronin Sanjuro has seen this
pattern repeated all too often as the old social order of the Tokugawa
Shogunate has broken down and the feuding upstarts of the merchant
class have taken over. He plays the two sides against each other, first
hiring out as yojimbo or bodyguard to the silk merchant, then
switching sides when the sake merchant’s younger brother Urosuke
appears with the only firearm in the district, a revolver.
However, Sanjuro’s bedrock sympathy is for the few beleaguered
innocent citizens caught up in the chaos of conflict. Gonji (Eijiro
Tono), a humble saki seller with whom Sanjuro stays, reflects the
basic decency and outrage of the city’s ordinary citizenry, who have
helplessly watched their town being taken over by ruffians and their
neighbours greedily seeking to profit from it (like the busy coffin
maker next door), but who bravely dare to further Sanjuro’s efforts.
Sanjuro, competent, sure, cynical and worldwise, is set against
Unosuke, a ruthless, cruel, and ambitious sadist who places his trust in
a weapon from the West, a technological trump card; ultimately
Sanjuro brings him down with a humble villager’s knife.
Sanjuro’s involvement with one side and the other is both whimsi-
cal and practical: it is a way of passing time while amusing himself
and earning a bowl of rice. Throughout, there is a comic counterpoint
between Mifune’s patented samurai swagger and the small humaniz-
ing touches he brings to the role: his shrugs, scratches, chin-rubs, and
grunts, his chewed-on toothpick. For the two camps in the village,
only total victory will serve; for Sanjuro, victory is surviving another
day and moving on in his journey. He cleverly manipulates the
hatreds and hopes of both sides but is almost undone by a simple act of
human kindness. After he slaughters the jailers of a poor farmer’s
enslaved wife, who was abducted by the sake dealer’s party, Sanjuro
threatens to kill his protégés if they are too grateful (‘‘Shut up—I hate
grateful people’’), and, ironically, their intercepted letter of thanks
brings Sanjuro an horrific beating. Ultimately, however, he over-
comes near impossible adversity and odds to kill all the combatants;
arms and innards fly when with masterful swordsmanship Sanjuro
demonstrates the difference between skilled samurai and hired thug.
At the end, like Shane, Yojimbo leaves the town to its own devices,
peaceful but decimated, its silk burned, its sake spilled: ‘‘Now it will
be quiet in this town.’’
Several elements raise this story above its tawdry characters and
plot into a profound commentary on human passion, greed, and folly.
Mifune’s Sanjuro is a brilliant character, a supremely confident
samurai übermensch who figuratively and literally looks down on the
grovelling and bickering villagers. He is above them morally because,
in ways that encompass both Zen and existential thought, he under-
stands the meaninglessness of material gain and the total folly of their
grasping for temporal advantage. Two early scenes establish the
vanity of human wishes and Sanjuro’s submission to the unseen
forces that rule us: in one, a dog trots happily down the village street,
a human hand in his mouth; in another, Sanjuro chooses his direction
by throwing a stick in the air at a crossroads. In a dog-eat-man world,
only fools squabble over who owns the gutters.
Also, Yojimbo is a model of efficient cinematic storytelling. The
filmic exposition captures visually the claustrophobic closeness of
village life and the local reign of terror as Sanjuro eats rice and
observes the plotting of the sake lord out of one window and that of
the silk lord out of another. Later, the camera-eye is that of the
battered Sanjuro, inside a coffin, watching with approval the blood-
letting his shifting allegiance has precipitated. Miyagawa’s telephoto
lenses visually compact and intensify the sword-fighting scenes: the
disorganized bloodlust of cowardly bullies versus the cool efficiency
of the samurai. Symmetrical framing, shots at right angles, carefully
orchestrated ballet-like action, and inspired synchronizing of music
and movement make for an artistically stylized whole, not quite
Kabuki, but mythic in resonance. As Ritchie points out, the combina-
tion of a ‘‘cheerfully anarchistic philosophy . . . presented with
a stylistic unity’’ results in a satisfying whole.
Ultimately, Yojimbo glorifies the individual who is willing to take
on organized monopolies. Its black humour, bleak realism, and brutal
violence are offset by the image of a lone individual, competent,
aloof, who sympathizes with the ordinary townsfolk, restores order
and rights wrong at heavy cost, and then moves on.

***
Young Mr. Lincoln was one of three John Ford films, all among his
finest, to be released in 1939. Each was noteworthy for a number of
reasons, and each introduced to the director’s work a particular aspect
that would become identified with the thematic concerns of the rest of
his career. Stagecoach, for example, was his first film with John
Wayne and his first use of Arizona’s spectacular Monument Valley as
a locale. Both would become Ford institutions in succeeding years.
Drums Along the Mohawk, the earliest of his histories, in terms of its
internal chronology, also marked the beginning of an examination of
the American past that would occupy much of the rest of his life.
Young Mr. Lincoln was Ford’s first film with Henry Fonda,
another actor with a very definite function within the director’s films.
Through careful crafting of Fonda’s character and the script, Ford
created for the actor a persona that embodied the traditional qualities
of American idealism and a liberal attitude toward the development of
the absolutes of civilization. Though this persona was continued in
other Ford-Fonda collaborations until 1948 when the actor returned to
the New York stage, it was initially employed to elevate the story of
Lincoln’s early years to the level of a national myth, a myth consistent
with the director’s own philosophy.
In Drums Across the Mohawk, the Fonda persona’s aspirations
toward civilization are inherent in his yearning for land and a home.
When he loses his home, much of his personal stability and self-
reliance vanishes with it, and the structure of his family life hovers
near fragmentation. In Young Mr. Lincoln, however, the idea of
civilization is represented by the broadest concept of the law—one
that is indicated by Lincoln’s statement in the trial scene. His
profession that ‘‘I may not know much about the law, but I know what
is right!’’ has less to do with a court of justice than it does with Ford’s
idea of a higher law. The future president is presented by the film as
a proponent of God’s law, which Ford relates through a number of
scenes, as being intertwined with concepts of family, the future and
nature itself. One scene, in which Lincoln is sitting by a river studying
Blackstone’s Commentaries and is interrupted by Ann Rutledge who
wants to talk about the future, ties all of these ideas together as does
YOUNG MR. LINCOLN FILMS, 4

his monologue at her grave when he invokes her memory (as well as
that of his deceased mother) to aid in his decision to become a lawyer.
The entire trial sequence, in fact, casts Lincoln in the role of
a defender of the American family, attempting to keep it intact.
The use of the poem, ‘‘Nancy Hanks,’’ at the beginning of the film
establishes for the viewer a consciousness of the historical Lincoln
while, at the same time, serving notice that the function of art is not
simply a retelling of history but a rewriting as well. Therefore, the
story that follows utilizes the audience’s already mythical assump-
tions concerning the historical personage as one element in Ford’s
creation of the new myth. The character is removed from its historical
context, its useful qualities extracted and merged with those of the
carefully constructed Fonda persona to be employed for Ford’s own
purposes. So striking was the merger of the Fonda and Lincoln
qualities that, for many years, the film was heralded solely for the
youthful exuberance of Fonda’s performance. Now, however, the
film is appreciated for its classic craftsmanship and as an exposition
of the mythmaking process in America.

On 22 May 1963, after speaking at an anti-nuclear rally in
Salonika, the charismatic Greek deputy Grigoris Lambrakis was
clubbed to death in the street. The conservative government described
the event as ‘‘an unfortunate traffic accident,’’ but following protests
from the opposition leader, George Papandreou, a young examining
magistrate was appointed to investigate the incident. Contrary to
Z FILMS, 4

Z
government expectations the magistrate refused to be manipulated
and the intended cover-up became an embarrassing revelation:
Lambrakis had been murdered by an extreme right-wing organization
sanctioned by the authorities. Key witnesses began to disappear, and
the deepening scandal eventually brought down the Karamanlis
government. The Centre Left under George Papandreou came to
office, but the king discharged his government, and on 21 April 1967
the military seized power. The examining magistrate was relieved of
his responsibilities and strict censorship imposed.
These chilling facts form the basis for Costa-Gavras’s gripping
political thriller Z. His narrative came not directly from the investiga-
tion, but from the novel by Vassilis Vassilikos, a Lambrakis follower,
who had been given access to the evidence during the brief period of
Centre Left rule. Published in 1966, the novel ends with the trial of the
conspirators, but Costa-Gavras, benefiting from historical hindsight,
extends his version to include the military coup.
For his adaptation, Costa-Gavras sought the collaboration of Jorge
Semprun who had previously worked with Resnais on La guerre est
finie. The flashbacks providing background to the protagonists or
exposing government manipulation, are characteristic of Semprun’s
organizing strategies. To produce a taut, fast-moving film narrative,
the filmmaker discarded the novel’s philosophical and reflective
passages and reduced the range of characters, so that the journalist/
photographer, for example, is a composite of several reporters. The
dialogue has also been pared down, though some contemporary
allusions to the May 1968 events in Paris have been added.
Casting posed few problems since left-wing activists like Yves
Montand were more than keen to participate. His engaging perform-
ance as Z is matched by that of Irene Papas as his tearful Hélène; Jean-
Louis Trintignant lends a steely authority to the magistrate’s role.
Financing the production, however, proved difficult: United Artists,
for one, fearing retaliation, declined to back the project. Eventually
the Algerian authorities, eager to add stature to their embryonic film
industry, provided both finance and locations.
Although the film contains no explicit topographical references,
visual clues such as barely disguised portraits of the Greek royal
family, the insignia of Olympian airways, and the Fix brand of beer
indicate Greece as the setting, while the distinctive music of Mikis
Theodorakis seals this identification. A challenging screen statement
invites the viewer to associate the film’s action with contemporary
events: ‘‘Any similarity to actual events or persons living or dead is
not coincidental. It is intentional.’’

With the subtitle ‘‘Anatomy of a Political Assassination,’’ the film
exploits the investigative thriller format with more than a hint of
melodrama. The characters, starkly differentiated, border on carica-
tures. The fascist elements have few physical or moral virtues: they
are fat, ugly, or bald, and count pederasts amongst their numbers.
Members of the humanitarian left, epitomized in Yves Montand, are
attractive, warm-hearted, sensitive, and dignified to the point that
Lawrence Loewinger termed them ‘‘cardboard saints.’’ Political
arguments are equally simplified and the foregrounding of dramatic
situations leaves little room for objectivity. If derisive music accom-
panies the grotesque comic-opera officials as they parade before the
magistrate, for the idolized Z the theme is resonant and emotionally
charged, while tragic tones prepare the arrival of his widow Hélène.
Camerawork, too, points up the message with telescopic close-ups for
the long-awaited arrival of the deputy’s plane, while blurred subjec-
tive shots after the clubbing reinforce the emotional participation.
Similarly close-ups, alternating with all-embracing longshots, draw
the viewer into the physical violence of the mob behaviour, and
satirically emphatic zoom shots pick out the medal-bedecked chests
of the corrupt generals. Such rhetorical devices effectively preclude
a reflective approach: the persuasive presentation carries the viewer
forward eager to unravel the web of deceit and obfuscation.
Central to the film’s narrative strategy is the editing process. Each
witness will give a subjective account of events, set against a narrative
flashback, to provide a further piece in the jigsaw. As false witnesses
parrot their prepared statements, betraying themselves by the too-
often repeated phrase ‘‘supple and ferocious like a tiger,’’ there is
a revealing disjuncture between speaker and image. Again, parallel
editing juxtaposes the sentiments of the peace rally with the mob
violence outside. Finally, repeated flashbacks of the murdered deputy
create a sense of his immanence, thus providing a visual metaphor for
the meaning of the Greek word ‘‘Z’’: ‘‘he still lives.’’

Although Zangiku monogatari is one of the greatest achievements
of its director Mizoguchi Kenji (to follow the Japanese custom of
placing family name first) non-Japanese audiences, and even many
contemporary Japanese, may be puzzled and alienated by its very
title, let alone by its theme of the triumph of family duty over personal
love and its loving recreations of a vanished period in Japanese
history and a decreasingly popular traditional art form. (The film is
rendered even less accessible by the fact that many prints of it are
defective or incomplete.) Yet making the intellectual and emotional
effort to understand and enjoy it is rewarding, for what seems at first
to be a stiff and formal drama is really a subtle and unforgettable
exercise in subverting traditional values.
Zangiku may be variously translated as ‘‘late/last/remaining chrysan-
themum(s)’’; monogatari means ‘‘tale’’ or ‘‘story.’’ Onoe Kikunosuke,
whose personal name contains the word for ‘‘chrysanthemum’’ and
whose family mon (badge) is that flower, is the adopted son of
a Kabuki star. He is first seen on stage—in Tokyo in 1885—giving
what aficionados would see was a bad performance; he prefers not to
study his parts, until the maid Otoku tells him to. She is fired by his
mother, but Kiku announces his wish to marry her and leaves home
when his father, who now has a natural son to succeed him anyway,
refuses to permit their union. The lovers reunite in Osaka, where Kiku
has joined a relative’s theatre company. They then travel with yet
another group until 1890, when it falls apart and Otoku visits Nagoya
to plead with Kiku’s father, who is performing there. Kiku is invited
back into the family but Otoku agrees to stay away (without his
knowledge). Many years later, when the family theatre group is
performing in Osaka, Kiku is permitted to visit Otoku there, finding
her on her deathbed. The film closes with her death and his appear-
ance in a parade on the Yodo river, scenes which are intercut to
maximise the contrast between her failure and isolation and his
success and acceptance.
Summarised in this way Zangiku monogatari may seem to be
a fairly routine melodrama, in which issues are raised in order to be
neatly resolved. Perhaps the stage play from which it was derived
fitted such a description. If so, Mizoguchi transforms it, using all the
cinematic resources at his disposal in the endeavour to bring the story
to life, to make Kiku, Otoku, and the others plausible as human beings
rather than symbols or puppets—and to insert his own characteristi-
cally understated but powerful sense of the fragility and ambiguity of
human feelings into the narrative.
The principal technical means that Mizoguchi uses to intensify the
varying moods of the film is to shoot the ‘‘real’’ scenes and the three
Kabuki excerpts in contrasting ways. The former are shot in long
takes, with speakers’ faces often in shadow or turned away while the
camera pans and tracks to show different perspectives and the
presence of third parties, as when Kiku’s father remains in the room
(offscreen) as a silent but intimidating witness to a discussion of
Otoku between Kiku and his mother. The latter are presented in short
takes that concentrate on Kiku to the exclusion of other actors and also
disregard the convention of filming stage action as if from a realistic
audience perspective. The cumulative effect of this contrast is to
emphasise the artificiality of the stage performance, its distance from
the confusions and complications of real life, and therefore to
heighten the illusion that we are overhearing conversations among
real people, about real concerns, in the offstage scenes.
These real concerns, as in several other films directed by Mizoguchi,
include the question of the position of women in society. Although
Zangiku monogatari is unusual among his films for having a male
central character, its dramatic and moral weight is actually placed
upon the fate of Otoku. In doing so Mizoguchi indicates a respect for
the audience’s ability to work things out for themselves, implicit in
the distinctive camera technique described above. Unlike conven-
tional melodramas, Zangiku monogatari never forces a single ethical
message on its viewers. Because it seemed to endorse the subordina-
tion of women proclaimed by the official ideology of the Japanese
government of the day, the film received a prize from the Ministry of
Education in 1940. Yet the film also contains, in Otoku’s character,
a portrait of a strong and independent woman making her own
choices; in Kiku’s, a depiction of good intentions stifled and diverted
by family pressure; and, in their respective fates, an implicit protest
against the distorting effects of systematic subordination on women
and men alike.
Aside from its story, its initially unfamiliar but eventually impres-
sive visual style, and its ambiguous and thought-provoking moral
concerns, Zangiku monogatari offers other pleasures, which grow
with each year that passes since its initial release, and with Japan’s
steady development away from the society that it represents and now
commemorates. Otoku and Kiku’s first long conversation is punctu-
ated by the traditional cries of street vendors, few of whom remain in
contemporary Japan; the details of the family home and the attic room
in which Otoku dies are as evocative as (say) shots of prewar New
York, London or Berlin can be for anyone who knows those cities
today; and such scenes as the Kabuki excerpts and the closing
procession have become valuable records of a rich cultural tradition.
In thus functioning on several levels at once—as an absorbing drama,
a classic demonstration of film technique, a provocation to serious
thought and complex feeling, and a record of a receding past—
Zangiku monogatari transcends its origins as a filmed play, and its
status as a specifically Japanese film, to stand as a classic of
world cinema.

The Ambush is the fifth feature film by Zivojin Pavlovic. When it
appeared in 1969 it became one of the most controversial films of the
Yugoslav Black Cinema. Pavlovic, who is also well known in
Yugoslavia for his tightly written neo-realistic prose, based this film,
which focuses on the gap between the ideals of the Socialist revolu-
tion at the end of World War II and the often brutal reality of the
Stalinist period, on one of his own stories and another by Antonije
Isakovic. It is a harsh view of the political and social climate in
Yugoslavia after the war. The hero participates in a killing during the
Revolution—but is then killed himself.
Pavlovic has forged his subject matter from raw material supplied
by the first Yugoslav writer to call attention to the darker side of Tito’s
Partisan movement. Released but never distributed at home until very
recently, the film was highly praised from the very beginning by those
few Yugo-critics who managed to see it for both the purity of
Pavlovic’s style and the honesty of his subject matter. The film won
the Golden Lion in Venice in 1969.
Pavlovic’s influence on Yugoslav cinema has been profound. In
a 1983 survey of ninety Yugoslav film critics, for instance, Pavlovic
and Aleksander Petrovic were the only directors with three films
listed among the top twenty Yugoslav films ever made. A graduate of
the Academy of Applied Arts and Sciences in Belgrade in 1959,
Pavlovic began his career as an amateur filmmaker. He made his
feature debut in 1962, scripting and directing one part of a three part
omnibus film Kapi, Vode, Ratnici (Raindrops Water Warriors). His
story of an ex-con who returns home to find no one wishes to help
him, foreshadowed Pavlovic’s unswerving interest in outsiders living
on the margins of society.

Earth is a tribute to life in the Ukraine, the birthplace of its creator,
Alexander Dovzhenko. The film’s star is essentially the Ukrainian
village in which the story is set: it is not necessarily a tale of Russian
farmers and kulaks but a visual poem about life and the calm
acceptance of death.
Earth’s scenario is virtually lacking in plot: in fact, one of its
themes—the triumph of modern farm equipment over a primitive
methodology—is similar to that of Sergei Eisenstein’s Old and New.
Youthful peasants in the community join together to purchase a trac-
tor, to efficiently operate their farms. Vasilly, head of the village
committee, reaps corn with the assistance of the machine, women
fasten together the stalks cut from the earth, a threshing machine toils
in the fields, and the peasants produce an abundant harvest. The

town’s kulaks (or, well-to-do landowners who profited from the
sweat of the poorer farmers; as a class they opposed Soviet politics
and collectivization of the land) are intimidated by this show of unity.
At the end of a workday, young lovers stare at the sunset, and animals
peacefully graze in the meadows. Vasilly, who had earlier plowed
beyond the boundaries of a kulak’s farm, strolls home in the moon-
light and is shot by a kulak. His father grieves over the corpse, but will
not allow a traditional Christian burial. Instead, the villagers carry
Vasilly in an open bier, through the fields. His murderer runs into the
cemetery, blurts out that he is the peasant’s killer, and dances amid the
graves in a weak imitation of Vasilly’s movements before the moment
of his death. But the killer is ignored. A rain—tears from the sky—
falls and shines on the crops. The clouds disappear, and the sun
glistens and dries the earth.
This short synopsis does not effectively describe the film’s
content and impact on the viewer. Dovzhenko lyrically captures what
the earth—the soil and the life-sustaining crops it produces—means
to human beings. The earth must be lovingly nurtured so that corn and
wheat may be reaped and mouths may be fed. (Dovzhenko shot the
film on the rich terrain of his beloved Ukraine.) Most significantly,
the film is at once a celebration of life and an acknowledgement of the
inevitability of life’s end. Dovzhenko’s images, all in meticulously
composed shots, are unforgettable: in the film’s prologue a dying man
(the grandfather of Vasilly, a character patterned after the filmmaker’s
grandfather), serene as he approaches his end, happily pierces an
apple with his teeth; Vasilly ecstatically dances in the summer
moonlight, kicking up dust and feeling every moment of his life
before it is abruptly ended by a bullet; apple tree branches brush over
the face of Vasilly’s corpse in the funeral caravan. In sequence after
sequence, Dovzhenko brings together the two ultimate but contrast-
ing realities: life and death. Death is not a gloomy, depressing finality,
but a necessary and logical occurrence. If babies are to be born and the
world replenished with the hopes, desires and energy of youth, some
must vacate the earth and allow them time and space. Similarly, the
earth must yield its crops so that it may again commence the cycle
necessary to feed and nourish the hungry.
Earth is clearly not apolitical. Lewis Jacobs described it as
a ‘‘rhapsody of victory for a new society.’’ Dovzhenko himself
explained, ‘‘I conceived Earth as a film that would herald the
beginning of a new life in the villages.’’ But, in its day, the film was
quite controversial. Some Soviet critics were quick to condemn it as
politically incorrect because the lyricism overrides the storyline. In
addition, it focuses on a universal, philosophical theme; it does not
just merely detail specific events and struggles relating to the Revolu-
tion. A particularly pointed article in Izvestia entitled ‘‘The Philoso-
phers,’’ by Demyan Bedny (the pseudonym for Yefim Pridvorov,
considered a major proletarian poet of the 1920s), resulted in the
editing of several sequences, including the scene where the tractor’s
radiator boils over and is cooled by the collective urine of the
peasants, and another depicting Vasilly’s betrothed, naked and crazed
with grief, mourning his death. ‘‘I was so stunned by (Bedny’s)
attack,’’ Dovzhenko wrote, ‘‘so ashamed to be seen in public, that
I literally aged and turned gray overnight. It was a real emotional
trauma for me. At first I wanted to die.’’
After Earth premiered in Russia, Dovzhenko brought the film to
Paris and Berlin, and under the title Soil, it opened in New York
during the fall of 1930. The negative of Earth was destroyed by the
Germans during World War II, but a copy of the original release print
fortunately survived.
Earth created a sensation outside the Soviet Union. Its simple im-
agery influenced other directors, particularly documentary filmmakers
in England and the United States. Today, it is Dovzhenko’s most
famous film, and one of the great achievements of world cinema.

***
At a press conference in 1975, Andrei Tarkovsky asserted that
Mirror ‘‘is no more than a straightforward, simple story’’ which
‘‘doesn’t have to be made any more understandable’’; yet it has
acquired an intimidating reputation for inaccessibility and self-
indulgence. All the incidents are taken from his own or his relatives’
lives, three members of his family can be seen or heard in it and there
are several dream sequences; but why should anyone who is not
a Tarkovsky be interested in them? As for the occasional extracts
from documentary footage, notably of Soviet troops in the Second
World War, are they anything more than disconnected bits of history,
especially now that the Soviet Union is as dead and gone as the Holy
Roman Empire? Yet Mirror does go on impressing those who see it
through and can resonate in the mind long afterwards, whether
through specific images or as an atmosphere, a sense of dream and
memory coming together. Perhaps the best way into it is through
another of Tarkovsky’s remarks at that press conference, his invita-
tion to ‘‘look, learn, use the life shown here as an example.’’ Looking
and learning do not require a Ph.D. in Tarkovsky Studies. Even a child
can do all three—which is another clue to Tarkovsky, for whom
children seem to have represented idealism (as in Ivan’s Childhood),
inventiveness (as in Andrei Rublev), and other qualities which adult
life may distort or erode.
Mirror begins with a boy in a city apartment watching a television
demonstration of hypnosis; a young woman stands in a field at
twilight, smoking a cigarette and waiting for someone, though not for
the soldier who passes by; her son plays with a cat while a voice reads
a poem which refers to a ‘‘domain . . . beyond the mirror’’ (in Kitty
Hunter-Blair’s translation). These first few minutes suggest that two
separate periods of time are being depicted and that the ‘‘mirror’’ of
the title—as in Lewis Carroll’s story Through the Looking Glass or
Jean Cocteau’s film Orphée—is a gateway between two worlds. The
suggestion (not so much mysticism as truism) is confirmed later on,
when the same woman is reflected in a real mirror that shows her to be
much older.
This is in fact Tarkovsky’s mother, the boy in what we learn is the
1930s represents Tarkovsky, the voice on the soundtrack is that of his
father (the poet Arseny Tarkovsky) and the 1970s boy is his son. But
these purely personal facts actually matter much less than they would
in a more mainstream, linear narrative, precisely because of the
intercutting between story (private memories) and newsreel (public
memories), reality and dreams, children and adults. The connections
among these elements are made clearer rather than more obscure by
Tarkovsky’s careful alternation of colour, sepia tinting and black and
white, as well as by the slow pace of every scene. Thus the almost
always absent father (in the 1930s), seen returning at last in soldier’s
uniform, is linked to footage of the Soviet army slogging through
marshland and to a comic scene of military training disrupted by the
instructor’s incompetence and the boys’ distractedness. The almost
always present mother is recalled by her resemblance to a woman in
a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, seen in the 1970s. Both of these
lonely people are reflected by shots of Spanish refugees living in
Moscow and, perhaps, by contrast with the crowds hailing Mao Tse-
tung in shots of China. Again, the early log cabin, isolated between
fields and woods, is paralleled by the later Moscow apartment,
another refuge from human and climatic coldness.
The dissolving of the everyday barriers among these phenomena
culminates in the dream sequences, each grounded by being shown to
be inside the mind of the boy in the 1930s. He sees water cascading
through the room and down the walls after watching his mother wash
her hair; the house burns in dreams after burning in reality; he
imagines his mother floating away from her bed while he is waiting
anxiously for her to emerge from a doctor’s surgery; the wind moves
across the meadow as his father would if he were to come back.
Tarkovsky’s meditative approach, his presentation of a broad
range of loosely connected images and events in a variety of cine-
matic formats, actually frees audiences from the need for too many
footnotes or translations. Mirror tells us something of what it was like
to live in the Soviet Union in Stalin’s 1930s and Brezhnev’s 1970s but
it also evokes as much recognition as surprise, for even viewers who
know nothing of Tarkovsky’s life, Soviet history or, for that matter,
the paintings which he ‘‘quotes’’ in some scenes, know as much as he
did about nostalgia, dreaming and other forms of longing, and about
comparing and contrasting what is, and what was, with what might
have been.
In Mirror Tarkovsky opens up his world—arguably more success-
fully than in his later films, which are less autobiographical but also
more tightly bound to an increasingly explicit and unsubtle religiosity—
just as, in the film, his son opens a book of Leonardo’s paintings,
inviting readings that will differ from viewer to viewer, and indeed
(given the film’s main themes) at different times in any viewer’s life.
Orson Welles, whom Tarkovsky greatly admired, once said that a film
is ‘‘a ribbon of dreams.’’ Mirror is an example of the many ways in
which filmmakers and audiences together can transform private
dreams into shared visions.
