overview: The film features a conversation between Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, producer of THX 1138. They discuss Lucas' vision for the film, including his ideas about science fiction in general and in particular his concept of the "used future" which would famously feature in his film Star Wars. Intercut with this discussion is footage shot prior to the start of production of THX 1138 showing several of its actors having their heads shaved, a requirement for appearing in the film. In several cases the actors are shown being shaved in a public location. For example, Maggie McOmie is shaved outside the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, while Robert Duvall watches a sporting event as his hair is cut off. Another actor, Marshall Efron, who would later play an insane man in the film, cut off his own hair and was filmed doing so in a bathtub.

title: Jaws, a Monstrous Success

overview: In the summer of 1975, the young director Steven Spielberg set new standards for cinema worldwide with an oversized shark bite, a plastic shark fin and an unmistakable two-note main theme composed by John Williams. With the horror from the deep, a man-eating, gigantic great white shark, the film of the same name became a similarly traumatic reference as Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho": it triggered lasting primal fears across generations. On the beaches of the world, there was clearly a "before" and an "after". Steven Spielberg, who was only 28 at the time, not only set new standards for the thriller genre, but also hid his biting criticism of US capitalism in the 1970s behind it.

biography:
Figlia di un musicista, Josef Berger (1902-1983), e di un'insegnante, Therese Jany, morta nel 2001, fa la sua prima apparizione sul palcoscenico all'età di quattro anni, quando il padre la accompagna in un numero musicale al pianoforte. Un anno dopo inizia a prendere lezioni di danza, attività che tuttavia non riesce a completare. Passata alla recitazione, studia a Vienna alla scuola di Max Reinhardt. Nel 1957 l'aver accettato senza il consenso della direzione della scuola[senza fonte] un piccolo ruolo nel film La locanda dei tigli le costa il proseguimento degli studi. L'anno successivo entra a far parte come attrice giovane della compagnia del Josefstadt Theatre di Vienna, ma il suo interesse principale rimane sempre quello di recitare per il cinema. Una delle sue prime importanti partecipazioni in un film risale al 1960, in Der brave Soldat Schwejk, in cui recita al fianco di Heinz Rühmann.

Attrice fascinosa e versatile, a partire dal remake del celebre film di Fritz Lang Il testamento del dottor Mabuse (1962), per la regia di Werner Klingler, ha praticamente recitato in film di ogni genere, dall'esotico al western, dalla commedia alla spy story. Ancora giovanissima, nel 1963 in Italia viene diretta da Mario Camerini in Kalì-Yug, la dea della vendetta e, al fianco di Lex Barker, già Tarzan per il grande schermo, in Il mistero del tempio indiano. Chiamata a Hollywood intorno alla metà degli anni sessanta, appare nei western Doringo! (1965) di Arnold Laven e Sierra Charriba (1965) di Sam Peckinpah - che la dirigerà ancora in La croce di ferro (1977) - quindi in Quiller Memorandum (1966) di Michael Anderson, Combattenti della notte (1966) di Melville Shavelson, Il papavero è anche un fiore (1966) di Terence Young e L'imboscata (1967) di Henry Levin. Nel 1967 recita in coppia con Alain Delon, in Diabolicamente tua, ultima regia di Julien Duvivier. Partecipa anche alle produzioni tedesco-statunitensi De Sade (1969) di Cy Endfield e Intrigo in Svizzera (1976) di Jack Arnold.
