Boro, L'Ile D'Amour : the Films of Walerian Borowczyk / edited by Kamila Kuc, Kuba Mikurda, and Michael Oleszczyk London: Berghahn Books,
Call No: 81 BOR BOREdition: 2015Place: New York; LondonPublisher: Berghahn BooksPhysDes: 212 p. ; illus. ; 23cmSubject: BOROWCZYK, WALERIAN ; GOTO L'ILE D'AMOUR (FR, Walerian Borowczyk, 1968) ; BLANCHE (FR, Walerian Borowczyk, 1971) ; BETE, LA (FR, Walerian Borowczyk, 1975) Notes: There has been a recent revival of interest in the work of Polish film director Walerian Borowczyk, a label-defying auteur and “escape artist” if there ever was one. This collection serves as an introduction and a guide to Borowczyk’s complex and ambiguous body of work, including panoramic views of the director’s output, focused studies of particular movies, and more personal, impressionistic pieces. Taken together, these contributions comprise a wide-ranging survey that is markedly experimental in character, allowing scholars to gain insight into previously unnoticed aspects of Borowczyk’s oeuvre. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781782387015Contents: CONTENTS

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

Unquiet Dreams : The Bestiary of Walerian Borowczyk / By Simon Strong [Collingwood, Victoria]: The LedaTape Organisation,
Call No: 81 BOR STRAuthor: Strong, Simon Edition: 2015Place: [Collingwood, Victoria]Publisher: The LedaTape OrganisationPhysDes: 134 pages ; illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 24cmSubject: BOROWCZYK, WALERIAN ; BETE, LA (FR, Walerian Borowczyk, 1975) ; GOTO L'ILE D'AMOUR (FR, Walerian Borowczyk, 1968) ; BLANCHE (FR, Walerian Borowczyk, 1971) ; DZIEJE GRZECHU (PL, Walerian Borowczyk, 1975) ; EMMANUELLE (FR, Just Jaeckin, 1974) ; BESTIALITY ; BELLE ET LA BETE, LA (FR, Jean Cocteau, 1946) ; Dauman, Anatole Notes: Walerian Borowczyk was far and away the classiest of sleazy film-makers, and the sleaziest of the classy ones. Starting as an animator and director of visually rich kafkaesque fantasies (Blanche, Goto, Island of Love) he divided audiences by moving into graphic erotica (Immoral Tales, The Beast) and subsequently worked his way through exploitation tropes (nunsploitation, Jeksploitation, togasploitation) before creatively imploding spectacularly with his bizarre contribution to the Emmanuelle series.
Inspired in look and feel by seventies film and filth mags like Continental Film Review and Sex Stars System, the present author does not much value coherence or consistency. He is interested in contexts and connections, obscure minutiae, jokes (he will judge what is funny), and blurry screen grabs of topless women from seventies softcore flicks. Whilst not ideal, it's better than nothing. Probably. You figure it out. -- Back cover blurbISBN: 9780992302160Donation: Donated by The LedaTape Organisation (Collingwood)
