Geraldine James, 6 Temmuz 1950 tarihinde Maidenhead, Berkshire, İngiltere'de dünyaya gelmiştir. Bir kardiyolog babanın ve hemşire bir annenin kızı olan James, eğitimini Downe House School'da tamamladıktan sonra oyunculuk tutkusunun peşinden giderek Drama Centre London'da sahne sanatları eğitimi aldı. Kariyerine repertuvar tiyatrosunda başlayan oyuncu, İngiliz televizyonlarında ve sinemasında saygın bir yer edinmesini sağlayan güçlü karakter oyunculuğuyla tanınır.

Sinema dünyasındaki büyük çıkışını, Richard Attenborough'un yönettiği ve Akademi Ödüllü biyografik destan "Gandhi" (1982) filmindeki Mirabehn rolüyle gerçekleştirdi. Bu rol, uluslararası alanda tanınmasını sağlasa da, eleştirmenler nezdinde asıl büyük övgüyü, İngiliz televizyon tarihinin en önemli yapımlarından biri kabul edilen "The Jewel in the Crown" (1984) dizisindeki Sarah Layton performansıyla aldı. Bu rolüyle ilk kez BAFTA TV Ödülleri'ne aday gösterildi. 1989 yılında ise "She's Been Away" filmindeki performansıyla Venedik Film Festivali'nde Volpi Kupası En İyi Kadın Oyuncu ödülünü efsanevi Peggy Ashcroft ile paylaşarak yeteneğini tescilledi.

Kariyeri boyunca hem dramatik hem de komedi rollerinde rahatlıkla yer alabilen Geraldine James, kült komedi dizisi "Little Britain"da sergilediği performansla da akıllarda yer etti. Ancak modern izleyiciler onu en çok, Guy Ritchie'nin yönettiği "Sherlock Holmes" (2009) ve devam filmi "Sherlock Holmes: Gölge Oyunları" (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) (2011) filmlerinde canlandırdığı sabırlı ev sahibi Mrs. Hudson rolüyle tanıdı. Aynı dönemde Tim Burton'ın "Alice Harikalar Diyarında" (Alice in Wonderland) (2010) filminde Lady Ascot ve David Fincher'ın "Ejderha Dövmeli Kız" (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) (2011) filminde Cecilia Vanger karakterlerine hayat verdi.

Yakın dönemde ise Netflix'in sevilen uyarlaması "Anne with an E" (2017-2019) dizisinde canlandırdığı sert mizaçlı ama altın kalpli Marilla Cuthbert karakteriyle yeni nesil izleyicilerin de büyük beğenisini kazandı. Ayrıca "Downton Abbey" (2019) sinema filminde Kraliçe Mary'yi canlandırarak asil duruşunu bir kez daha sergiledi. Sanata olan katkılarından dolayı 2003 yılında Kraliçe II. Elizabeth tarafından OBE (Order of the British Empire) nişanı ile onurlandırılmıştır.

Erich Kästner

biography:
Emil Erich Kästner war ein deutscher Schriftsteller, Publizist, Drehbuchautor und Kabarettdichter.

Seine publizistische Karriere begann während der Weimarer Republik mit gesellschaftskritischen und antimilitaristischen Gedichten, Glossen und Essays in verschiedenen renommierten Periodika jener Zeit. Dennoch entschied er sich, nach dem 30. Januar 1933 in Deutschland zu bleiben. Seine Werke erschienen bald auf den schwarzen Listen und seine vor 1933 erschienenen Bücher wurden im Herrschaftsbereich des NS-Regimes verboten. Trotz diverser Repressionen konnte er unter Pseudonym weiter veröffentlichen; er schrieb beispielsweise Drehbücher für einige komödiantische Unterhaltungsfilme wie etwa Münchhausen (1943). Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs zog Kästner nach München und konnte wieder frei publizieren. Populär machten ihn vor allem seine Kinderbücher wie Emil und die Detektive (1929), Pünktchen und Anton (1931), Das fliegende Klassenzimmer (1933) und Das doppelte Lottchen (1949) sowie seine mal nachdenklich, mal humoristisch, oft satirisch formulierten gesellschafts- und zeitkritischen Gedichte, Epigramme und Aphorismen.

Alain Resnais

biography:
Alain Resnais (3 June 1922 – 1 March 2014) was a French film director and screenwriter whose career extended over more than six decades. After training as a film editor in the mid-1940s, he went on to direct a number of short films which included Night and Fog (1955), an influential documentary about the Nazi concentration camps.

Resnais began making feature films in the late 1950s and consolidated his early reputation with Hiroshima mon amour (1959), Last Year at Marienbad (1961), and Muriel (1963), all of which adopted unconventional narrative techniques to deal with themes of troubled memory and the imagined past. These films were contemporary with, and associated with, the French New Wave (la nouvelle vague), though Resnais did not regard himself as being fully part of that movement. He had closer links to the "Left Bank" group of authors and filmmakers who shared a commitment to modernism and an interest in left-wing politics. He also established a regular practice of working on his films in collaboration with writers previously unconnected with the cinema such as Jean Cayrol, Marguerite Duras, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Jorge Semprún and Jacques Sternberg.

In later films, Resnais moved away from the overtly political topics of some previous works and developed his interests in an interaction between cinema and other cultural forms, including theatre, music, and comic books. This led to imaginative adaptations of plays by Alan Ayckbourn, Henri Bernstein and Jean Anouilh, as well as films featuring various kinds of popular song.

His films frequently explore the relationship between consciousness, memory, and the imagination, and he was noted for devising innovative formal structures for his narratives. Throughout his career, he won many awards from international film festivals and academies.

biography:
Alain Resnais est un réalisateur français, également scénariste et monteur, né le 3 juin 1922 à Vannes (Morbihan) et mort le 1er mars 2014 à Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine).

Alors qu'il envisage de devenir comédien, il intègre la première promotion de l'IDHEC en montage et commence, à la fin des années 1940, à réaliser des courts métrages et moyens métrages documentaires qui marquent le public et la critique: Van Gogh, Guernica et surtout Nuit et Brouillard, premier film de référence sur les camps de concentration.

Réalisateur d'Hiroshima mon amour (1959) et de L'Année dernière à Marienbad (1961), Alain Resnais est rapidement considéré comme l'un des grands représentants du Nouveau cinéma (Nouvelle Vague) et comme un des pères de la modernité cinématographique européenne à l'instar de Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman et Michelangelo Antonioni dans sa manière de remettre en cause la grammaire du cinéma classique et de déconstruire la narration linéaire.

Cinéaste appréciant les expérimentations, capable de se remettre en question à chaque nouvelle réalisation, Alain Resnais est reconnu pour sa capacité à créer des formes inédites et à enrichir les codes de la représentation cinématographique par son frottement à d'autres arts: littérature, théâtre, musique, peinture ou bande dessinée. Ses films, tendant vers l'artifice et l'imaginaire, peuvent paraître déroutants pour le grand public même si beaucoup ont rencontré le succès.

Tout au long de son œuvre, se retrouvent un grand nombre de thèmes tels que des sujets historiques, la mémoire, l'engagement politique, l'intimité, la réalité de l'esprit, le rêve, le conditionnement socio-culturel, la mort, la mélancolie et l'art.

Pour les vingt longs métrages qui portent sa signature, Resnais a fait appel à des auteurs-scénaristes aussi renommés et différents que Marguerite Duras, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Jean Cayrol, Jorge Semprún, Jacques Sternberg, David Mercer, Jean Gruault, Jules Feiffer, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Agnès Jaoui et, pour l'adaptation de pièces anglaises d'Alan Ayckbourn, Jean-Michel Ribes, et Jean-Marie Besset. Il co-adapte en 2009, pour la première fois, avec Laurent Herbiet un roman. Suivront avec le même scénariste trois autres adaptations, dont la dernière restera inachevée.

Fidèle dans le travail et amateur de l'esprit de troupe, Resnais a notamment sollicité à plusieurs reprises les comédiens Sabine Azéma, Pierre Arditi, André Dussollier et Lambert Wilson, les techniciens Jacques Saulnier, Renato Berta, Éric Gautier et Hervé de Luze ainsi que le compositeur Mark Snow.

Réalisateur célébré par la profession, il a été plusieurs fois récompensé aux Césars et dans les festivals internationaux. ...

title: Bacri, comme un air de famille

overview: Jean-Pierre Bacri was never happy about anything. But beyond the caricature of the grumpy man, from his apprenticeship years to his death in January 2021, this film tells the story of this quintessential Frenchman: a man turned towards others, an actor by accident, a moralist by vocation, who was left unaffected by flattery and false honors by success, and ready for all kinds of anger when it was necessary to speak out against injustice and stupidity. The film tells the story of how Jean-Pierre Bacri's life changed several times: from Algeria to France when he was eleven years old in 1962; from bank clerk to apprentice theater actor; from Pieds-noirs film star to screenwriter for Alain Resnais; and from Cannes playboy to Agnès Jaoui's mad lover, the most decisive encounter for his life as well as for his work

title: Hiroshima: The Time of Return

overview: Luc Lagier puts Alain Resnais' film back in its historical context and in the filmmaker's biography. He tells the story, then the development of what was originally intended to be a short documentary film and which turned into an unusual allegory. Composed of fascinating archives, including notably the correspondence between Duras and Resnais, this analysis of 'Hiroshima mon amour' manages to put the film in perspective while detaching itself from it. A rare and captivating work.

title: Belmondo: The Incorrigible

overview: Charismatic and resourceful, seducer and daredevil, Jean-Paul Belmondo has always played his roles as he lived, at a thousand miles an hour. He had only one passion: to entertain the public with his smile, his naturalness, his energy, his stunts. But contrary to appearances, his destiny was full of pitfalls. This film lifts the veil on a founding childhood that allowed him to overcome many obstacles throughout his life thanks to the tutelary figures of his father and mother. Told from the inside with the help of his autobiography, interviews and unpublished archives, this epic story traces the career of this turbulent young actor who launched the New Wave in Breathless before becoming the popular Bebel, an indestructible and provocative vigilante. From film to film, this documentary paints an intimate portrait of a man who built himself up to reach the top: his triumphs but also his trials, his doubts, his secrets, his angers, his clowning, his disappointments or his personal dramas.

title: Morceaux de Cannes

overview: We thought we'd seen, read, and heard everything there was to see about the Cannes Film Festival, from the glitz and gossip to the scandals and censorship. And yet, Emmanuel Barnault's "Morceaux de Cannes" (Pieces of Cannes), by this leading expert on Italian and French cinema, convinces us otherwise. The third largest event in the world (after the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup) reveals its secrets only sparingly, as this film attests. The result of passionate research in the INA archives, these 52 minutes, without interviews or voice-over narration, string together rare and sometimes previously unseen footage. Taken together, they tell a surprising, original, and heartwarming story of the Festival. On the beach, on a street corner, in a restaurant, or in the privacy of a hotel room, these forgotten archives summon the greatest filmmakers, actors, and actresses of the last seventy years, from Jean Cocteau to David Lynch, for an anthology of the Festival's history.

Probably: water to drink, electricity for reading at night, the TSF to say "This is not the end of the world, this is an 01, and now a page of Celestial Mechanics". The implementation of these resolutions is the first day of a new era, Year 01. The Year 01 is emblematic of the challenge of the 1970s and covers such diverse topics as ecology, negation of authority, free love, communal living, rejection of private property and labor.

In the "Visite," the artist -admirer of Picasso, rebellious disciple of Breton- is presented in solitude, far from the tumult of the exhibitions and parisian circles. An austere approach, almost “povera”, with no audio, nor flashy camera movements, but rarely attractive. Why Resnais could not finish his movie? Hope one of our experts help us to solve the mystery.
