Cinemas de Paris
25,00 €Les étrangers le savent mieux que les Français : Paris offre une quantité, une diversité et une qualité d’accès au cinéma sans égal dans le monde – sans même rien d’approchant où que ce soit. Dans cette ville, le cinéma possède un statut particulier, il y est plus vénéré que partout ailleurs.
C’est dans les salles obscures qu’a lieu la véritable rencontre entre les spectateurs et les films. Paris, qui compte près de 90 cinémas et 400 écrans, est une terre d’accueil unique pour la diffusion d’oeuvres originales, comme en témoignent les réalisateurs du monde entier qui ont souhaité apporter de courtes contributions à cet ouvrage. -

Cannes Confidentiel - sexe, drogue et cinema
19,90 €Tapis rouge, montée des marches, Palme d’Or : du festival de Cannes, le monde connaît la légende qui, chaque année, fait converger vers cette petite station balnéaire sans charme de la Côte d’Azur le gotha du 7e art.
En soixante-dix ans, le festival a imposé ses codes au cinéma mondial et s’est mué en un véritable système. Dérives financières, affaires de drogues, scandales sexuels, fêtes somptuaires, secrets d’alcôve : rien ne semble pouvoir égratigner le symbole. Son principe, « tout ce qui se passe à Cannes reste à Cannes », n’est pas une vaine expression.
C’est la réalité derrière les paillettes que Xavier Monnier explore dans ce livre. -

Stealing the Show
17,60 €In recent years, the television landscape has seen the glorious rise of women to key positions of power within the industry, from writers to producers to directors. Successes like Shonda Rhimes’s Holy Trinity of shows as a producer—Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder—and critical darlings like Lena Dunham’s Girls, Jill Soloway’s Transparent and Jenji Kohan’s Orange Is the New Black have heralded a revolution and inspired women creators to put their smartest and boldest art onto screens everywhere.

Directing Herbert White
15,20 €In Directing Herbert White James Franco writes about making a film of Frank Bidart’s poem, Herbert White. Though the main character, Herbert White, is a necrophiliac and a killer, the poem – and the film – are an expression of life’s isolation and loneliness. A poem became a film.
In the rest of book, Franco uses poems to express what he feels about film: about acting; about the actors he admires – James Dean, Marlon Brando, Sean Penn; about the cult of celebrity and his struggles with it; about his teenage years in Palo Alto, and about mortality prompted by the death of his father.

Stan and Ollie: The Roots of Comedy
17,60 €Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy both passed away in the 1950s, yet their films still have the power to reduce audiences old and new to helpless laughter. There has been no comprehensive account of their lives and work, until now. The roots of their comic greatness lay in 19th century variety theatre. Lancashire-born Stan Laurel was steeped in the traditions of the music hall, and found himself touring the USA in the 1910s as Charlie Chaplin’s understudy. American Oliver Hardy had established himself as a ‘fat funny man’ by the time he and Laurel were first paired in 1927.

The General
10,60 €The General is the story of Martin Cahill – a working-class Dubliner who was the mastermind behind a series of daring robberies that stunned Ireland in the 1980s. Despite being the country’s most wanted man, he eluded capture – with great cheek – until he finally fell foul of the IRA. John Boorman’s screenplay delves deep into the heart of Cahill and reveals a man who possessed a relish for defying the might of society, a rage at perceived injustice, a ferocius cunning, a sense of perpetual celebration, and a dark brutality – all the characteristics of a Celtic chieftain. -
