SILENT PERIOD ; EXTRAS ; STUDIOS, FILM. USA ; CHEVALIER, MAURICE ; PARAMOUNT STUDIOS ; JEWS AND THE CINEMA. USA ; NAZIS IN FILMS ; GABIN, JEAN ; ACTORS. UK ; TYPE CHARACTERS IN FILMS Summary: Journeys of Desire offers for the first time a comprehensive critical guide to European Actors in American film, bringing together 15 overview chapters and a-z entries on over 900 individuals in one accessible and scholarly volume. Since the early days of the US film industry, European actors have consistently been a major force in Hollywood. Screen idols such as Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Boyer, Audrey Hepburn, Maurice Chevalier, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Antonio Banderas, as well as scores of more modest players, have profoundly shaped ‘American’ cinema. They have also contributed to the propagation of European types and stereotypes such as the ‘Russian’ and Nordic queens played by Garbo and Dietrich, the French Roues popularized by Chevalier, the fiery Latinos depicted by Banderas and the British arch-villain played by Steven Berkoff, Anthony Hopkins and Tim Roth. Films such as Casablanca (1942), Gigi (1958), Green Card (1990) and Vanilla Sky (2001), among many others, would not be the same without them. Contributions from a team of 70 international experts provide ground-breaking case studies of prominent individuals and phenomena associated with the émigrés, such as the retired Russian officers who played crowds in silent films, the stereotyping of European actresses in ‘bad women’ roles, and the ultimate irony of Jewish actors playing Nazis. Individual entries chart the careers and performances of the European actors – from Victoria Abril to Mai Zetterling – who appeared in American movies. [Taken from back cover].ISBN: 1844571246

Avisar bases his discussion of these filmic efforts on the assumption that the Holocaust was a unique and unprecedented historical experience and that as such it poses special problems for those, particularly artists, who seek to reflect upon this historical event. He disagrees with theorists who believe that art cannot deal with the Holocaust in a meaningful way. This study examines how cinematic art meets the challenge of dealing with the extraordinary nature of the Holocaust. Avisar uses the concepts of representation, presentation, and comprehension to analyze a select number of Holocaust films. The cinematic medium offers a wide range of artistic visions of historical events. Avisar combines theoretical concepts peculiar to the nature of cinema with arguments on the uniqueness of Hitler's Final Solution in presenting detailed analyses of such remarkable films as Night and Fog, The Damned, The Great Dictator, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Shop on Main Street, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, and Mr. Klein." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p.
