A MA SOEUR ; BREILLAT, CATHERINE ; BRESSON, ROBERT Summary: Whether embodied in literature, theater, or film, an enduring theme of many artistic works has been the protagonist’s search for identity. Such quests are typically psychological or spiritual journeys and depicted on the screen in a variety of manifestations—endeavors embarked upon to address an emotional trauma or to overcome an obstacle in the hero’s life. Using Jean Cocteau’s La Belle et La Bête as a leitmotif, these pursuits are discussed by author Maria Garcia as encounters with the “Beast.” At the end of their quests, heroes are reborn into their new identities, while the Beast disappears, transforms, or dies.
In Cinematic Quests for Identity: The Hero’s Encounter with the Beast, Garcia examines the cinematic conventions of the male and female search for individuation across several genres. After discussing La Belle et La Bête, the author looks at a number of films including three iconic male journeys—The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Searchers, and The Deer Hunter. Additional chapters focus on The Silence of the Lambs, Bringing Up Baby, The Lady Eve, The Secret of Roan Inish, The Natural, and Moneyball. The book concludes with a consideration of the three fairy tale films by Catherine Breillat—Fat Girl, Bluebeard, and The Sleeping Beauty—and the female characters in several Robert Bresson films, including The Trial of Joan of Arc.
Providing a unique and original perspective on films throughout the world, this provocative book draws upon Jungian thought, as well as several literary traditions including fairy tales, epic poetry, and Greek and Celtic mythology. Aimed at scholars of film and film theory, Cinematic Quests for Identity will also appeal to movie fans interested in a deeper understanding of films that explore a character’s struggle to live a conscious life. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781442246973

Final cut : dreams and disaster in the making of Heaven's Gate / by Steven Bach New York: William Morrow & Co., Inc., c1985.

USA ; STUDIOS, FILM. USA ; UNITED ARTISTS ; ALLEN, WOODY ; CIMINO, MICHAEL ; FIELD, DAVID ; DEER HUNTER, THE (US, Michael Cimino, 1978) ; HEAVEN'S GATE (US, Michael Cimino, 1980) Summary: "HEAVEN'S GATE is probably the most discussed, least seen film in modern movie history. Its notoriety is so great that it has become a generic term for disaster, for ego run rampant, for epic mismanagement, for wanton extravagance. It was also the watershed film of the decade - not for its cinematic qualities, but for its effect on Hollywood and the way movies will and will not be made in the future. For Michael Cimino's HEAVEN'S GATE did not merely fail (failure is forgivable, sometimes even endorsed in the strange labyrinths of the Hollywood psyche), HEAVEN'S GATE did the unthinkable: it sank a studio. Less than a month after the picture's second release, United Artists - the company founded by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin - for all practical purposes ceased to exist. Why? How?" [TAKEN FROM BOOK JACKET]Notes: Includes indexISBN: 0688043828Donation: Simon Wincer

Unlike previous collected volumes about pop music in film, where a generalised approach has been adopted, it offers instead a close examination of these two most pervasive and significant mediums in contemporary culture.
"The collection introspects, assembling the pop song into various guises and documenting how individuals dissemble the multiple roles that the pop song plays in all and one audio-visual moment. The song as: ghost, role-play, memory trigger, narrator, marketing device, translator, alienator, membership rite, etc." (Taken from the back cover)Notes: Includes indexISBN: 184150078X
