dimaggio : it was like combining a little bit of education with a little bit of entertainment . i believe krs called that “edutainment . ” i always liked those productions anyways , though i guess i’m showing my age .
shapiro : i would add that it’s not just acting but it’s acting with one hand tied behind their back because they only have their voice .
cm : after i started on hormones , i was basically canned from routine commercials for a couple years and let go as a client . the owner actually closed down the studio for the whole day he was so upset . i had a lengthy conversation with my agent , and i told her about what happened . she was upset , but i hadn ' t told her that i was trans or anything until that phone call , up until that point when everything had transpired . it wasn ' t until earlier this year that i found out that same owner was fired for his behavior .
wow ! you ' ve got some great voice actors for this . i ' m impressed ! ; )
dimaggio : yes , definitely . i really wanted to show , in this documentary , my peers and show how really amazing they are and i think they pulled that off . i think some of my peers stole the movie right out from underneath me , which is fine by me because that’s what they do in the booth on a daily basis . we wanted to have fun and the whole point was to show how talented these folks are . i know that voice is my valentine to them .

: right ?
and he goes ,
what ? what do you mean ?
and i go ,
i do the voice of wakko ,
right , and he goes ,
so what ? so do i
. for real . and i go ,
oh , no , no , i don ' t mean like for fun , i . . .
shapiro : i would add to that that basically one of the things we realized when we made this film was that you can call them voice actors , but they really are some of the best character actors you’ve ever seen in your life and they just happen to use their voice . it’s worth mentioning that even though they fall into this category as well , they are still major character actors .
i can confirm that it is an awesome forum avatar . but why don ' t you see for yourself ?
dimaggio : [ imitating pimp slang ] hey man , i don’t know ‘bout that , but i just made this movie for the pussy , okay ? when you’re a documentarian , you print money , and my word is bond . we did this movie for all the dirt pussy .
seldom seen and often heard , voice actors discuss their craft . featuring john dimaggio ( bender , futurama ) and several other voice stars .

dimaggio : [ imitating pimp slang ] motherfuckin’ voiceover groupies . awwww yeah . if we make that , i’ll be right there . [ ends slang ] sorry ! i can’t help it !
cm : it was pretty cool to be the main player voice in that game ( the ship ) . it was so much fun to just create characters and have fun with accents . i made a demo reel and sent it to a couple agencies and signed up for an online internet voice subscription site . i started to get some work there , and before i knew it i was doing commercials for comcast , even working with warner bros . and walden media .
lawrence shapiro : yeah , they barely spoke english so it wasn’t like they knew a word of what john was saying , but literally through a different language , they recognized john from his voice . john and i went off and were like , “you know , this is a really important subject that everyone clearly cares about across the world that no one has thought to cover , really . ”
fans have so eagerly awaited the film’s release that the “i know that voice” team launched a summer cartoon voice imitation contest to satiate their cartoon enthusiasts . the national press club in washington , dc will be hosting the east coast premiere of the film on november 8 , 2013 . dimaggio will be on hand to introduce the film . following the screening there will be a meet - and - greet with dimaggio . details on attending the event are available here : urltoken .
diabolique : aside from many actors who are known reputably as voice actors , you also feature many voice actors who have had prolific on - screen careers , such as mark hamill , hank azaria , stephen root and tom kenny . while preparing this documentary , was there ever a concern that you might alienate the less prolific voice actors by featuring these talents or is the voice acting community more ingratiated and understanding in that regards ?
from executive producer , john di maggio in association with dundee entertainment and cinovative , comes a documentary on the mysterious world of
voice over & voice acting .
we have collected the top voice actors , voice directors , casting voice directors , video game producers , animators , creators , agents , producers , engineers , mixers , dialogue editors , voice teachers , voice school and all those involved in the booming voice - over industry . this is a must see documentary for anyone that wants to know what goes on behind the scenes in your favorite cartoons , animations , and anything to do with voice acting . this is the first trailer , as we are still in production on this obtaining more quality interviews for our fans and supporters . like us on facebook for updates and behind the scenes photos . for full cast info please check urltoken as we are adding new talent constantly .
great voice cast ! hopefully it does not require further delay of its launch .
“we are thrilled to partner with charity : water and american cinematheque for the debut of this film , ” said “i know that voice” producer tommy reid . “our fans and supporters have already contributed more than $ 10 , 000 to this cause . it’s incredible to see how much of an impact these amazing actors have made on people across the world . ”
explained that the original film had over 150 interviews and over 160 hours of film . looking back he wished that more people had been able to make it into the film , like well - known voice actor troy baker .
that ' s a very nice cast list , now i can ' t wait for people to make jonathan joestar memes with johannes . : p
shapiro : i’d say that down the line , there’s a strong possibility that you may be seeing something on the web , possibly like a series of less - cut - down interviews where you can get more in depth with the people we interviewed and the stories that they told . we’re not committing to that just yet , but keep your eyes open though .
dimaggio : i don’t think it’s a matter of comfort . people do what they do by choice , so i don’t really know it’s a matter of people being comfortable in front of the camera . i think it’s a matter of doing the work that’s available to you and then striving in it . if you realized how hard it is to get a job in the entertainment industry , and you were working prolifically in voice over and you can work doing on camera stuff here and there , it has nothing to do with being worried about how you look on camera . it’s about the work and you do the work that is available to you . these actors are that good that they’re able to do the voiceover stuff . it’s hard .
you might thing that kids would love to see who plays their favorite characters , but many of the voice actors admitted that it’s hard to perform their signature voices for children . blum openly admitted “i scare children” and north recounted a story of scaring a child in a toy shop by using his characters voice for a child buying an action figure . baker recalled trying to read the hobbit to his daughter , who hated his use of funny voices and insisted he use his natural voice .
and yet , for all this time , the fact that there’s been so many documentaries about the entertainment industry yet virtually none about the world of voice acting is somewhat of an enigma . for a side of entertainment that largely remains in shadows , getting glimpses here and there at the occasional convention circuit or social media feed , it took one of the industry’s finest to bring it to light . voiceover veteran and producer / narrator john dimaggio , producer tommy reid and co - producer / director lawrence shapiro have crafted i know that voice , the definitive documentary on the wide world of voiceover through the testimonies and perspectives of the people that know it best . dimaggio , best known to the world as the voice of bender on futurama and jake on adventure time , offers a genuine yet hilarious take on the art form from which he’s become an icon , and alongside director shapiro , spoke to diabolique about the documentary , the craft of voiceover and keeping up with an ever - growing industry…
dimaggio : not at all . that did not come into play at all .
a lot of people think that it’s easy to just go and talk in front of a microphone and that’s not the case . you’re not just talking , you’re acting . you’re acting in front of a microphone as opposed to a camera . it’s a lot more specific of a technique than most people think . it’s not , “oh , do a silly voice ! ” try doing a silly voice for four hours , then take a lunch break , and then do another silly voice for four hours . it’s not easy , especially because it’s about the acting . so i think that mindset is a little off .
dimaggio : [ those actors ] are a part of the community . they’re a part of us . they know how great this line of work is . clancy brown , too ! you forgot to mention clancy brown . but that didn’t matter .
john dimaggio : well , larry and i were in amsterdam for a project called jam in the dam . i was there seeing it and larry was shooting it , and there were a bunch of jam bands , like umphrey’s mcgee and the yonder mountain string band . so we were there , and i was on stage , and i started doing bender , and when i whipped out the voice , larry saw four german tourists lose their mind . they were like , “oh my god , that’s the guy who does bender ! ” except it was more like , [ thick german accent ] “oh mein gott , that is the guy that does the bender ! ” so they freaked out and larry was like , “dude , this is incredible , man . ”
i see a lot of veterans here . you spared no expense on your voice acting from the japanese side . here ' s to hoping the english ones are just as good .
i don’t see any reason there wouldn’t be a language option unless the english dialog hasn’t been recorded by the time the game ships . that’s a pretty standard feature these days
dimaggio : we had 160 hours of footage that we’ve edited down to 95 minutes .
shapiro : i think [ that mystique ] has already been broken through social media and whatnot . these people were just happy to set the record straight in their own words .
diabolique : you feature a cavalcade of voice actors in this documentary , some of whom rarely get time in the spotlight when they’re not speaking or putting on a voice . did you find that these actors approached the project nervously or were maybe intimidated by the prospect of appearing on - camera ?
so the team managed to get okiayu - san along for the ride , i see .
great , great , great casting . i assume we ' ll have the choice to use either the original japanese or an english dub ? i like the japanese dubs better , ususally .
mami ' s voice actress is voicing dominique ? well , don ' t lose your head over the news guys , but i think this tells us dominique ' s story isn ' t ending happily .
shapiro : yeah , we had over 150 interviews that were all at least an hour long .
great choices all around i think , can ' t wait to see who you cast in english .
diabolique : voice acting over the years has become a very in - demand art form over the past two decades , especially with the prominent world of video gaming and digital animation . when making this documentary , did you aim to tell a more intimate story about these voice actors or were you more interested in showing the world of voice acting at large ?
shapiro : i would say the most interesting thing was to get these points of view from all of these people who are all these artists . a narrative would have been something we constructed but i wanted to inform , and you can’t inform better than getting the point - of - view from the people who actually do voice acting .
dimaggio : yeah , we got ed asner for crying out loud ! the guy is a legend . there are people in the voiceover industry are so tight that if somebody does on - screen work , it’s great ! everybody cheers them on . nobody is like , “god , i wish i had that ! waaaah ! ” if they are , they don’t show it . i don’t think having on - screen talent had any negative effect on the project . once you’re a part of the community , you’re a part of what we do .
shapiro : i would also say that the outlets of changed with web series and video games and whatnot , the craft itself goes to radio and before so it’s a timeless art form with more than two ways of expressing it .
i thought david hayter was also in it ? or is there an english dub which he will be in instead .
not at all . everyone jumped at the chance . the only people who didn’t want to do [ the documentary ] were frank welker , because he’s our god and he doesn’t have to do it , and tress macneille , who agreed to appear in the film but didn’t want to get interviewed . she was like , “i don’t know , ” but everyone for the most part were not modest . they’re all willing to talk about the art form [ of voice acting . ]
3 . how would you describe your experience with rockstar games ? cm : i ' ve had a good relationship with rockstar games for half my life now . they invite me to nyc to play their games early on . i showed up post - transition and they didn ' t bat an eye . i mean i can ' t speak for everyone who works there , the company as a whole has been very good to me . grand theft auto is a game where everything and everyone is characterized , including themselves . so since they parody everything , not just trans or lgbt concepts specifically , i don ' t believe that they are transphobic or anti - lgbt by any means . rockstar is awesome .
executive producer and voice actor john dimaggio looks forward to meeting fans at the red carpet world premiere . “we love our fans so much that we’re actually going to lift the red ropes , and invite them to come schmooze , dine and celebrate with us before and after the event in support of this awesome cause and debut of a what i call ‘a valentine to my peers , ’” dimaggio stated .
so , in any case , he ' s probably going to be voicing the same character that robbie belgrade will be voicing .

someone catch me up . is iga going to be a secret boss in the game ? if he is hope he does his own voice over lol .
with so many characters in the room , things got out of hand quickly . the panel quickly dissolved into lots of character voices , impressions , and animal sounds , much to the delight of the audience . north explained that one of his favorite things is being recognized for his voice instead of his face . “it means someone has taken that extra step , and it means so much more to me than any on camera stuff . ”
dimaggio : basically , all the time that was spent doing interviews was repeated . at times , it lagged on but by the end , we felt we had what we needed . so we’re just anxious to have it be out and have people see it . at least i am , for sure .

for that matter , your between - updates options have never been better : if you haven ' t been visiting the bloodstained forums and the bloodstained discord , you ' re missing direct access to 505 games ' own angel - corlux . ( a couple of us from the kickstarter team at fangamer finally got to meet him [ and mana ] at pax west this year , and i can confirm that he is somehow even more enthusiastic about bloodstained in person . )
they’re all willing to talk about their work , and they don’t have to talk about themselves . they enjoy talking about their part of acting and they don’t need as much coddling and applause as most actors these days do . there’s a camaraderie amongst the voice acting community that you won’t find in other parts of the business . so that was very interesting and that helped word of mouth in terms of trying to get people to appear in the film . since we started asking people , agents started calling us . “hey , we heard you were doing a film . would you like to talk to this person or this person ? ” so people just came out of the woodwork .
thanks for the update ! interesting set of actors , can ' t wait to hear them . i got a fresh new laptop for bloodstaines , the hype is real !
diabolique : lawrence , this is second directorial documentary project , following jam in the dam . what do you think it is about documentary filmmaking that matches your sensibilities as a storyteller ?
shapiro : basically the latter . we pretty much wanted to cover the world at large of voice acting and show it as a whole so you can get an idea of what this unknown universe is all about .
fans in the midwest will have the opportunity to experience the groundbreaking voice - over documentary on the big screen . the film is showing at the gateway film center in columbus , ohio , from november 8 - 14 , 2013 .
holy zen , how did you guys manage to get koshimizu ami and mizuhashi kaori ? those two are among my top - tier seiyuu . now i have to play both the english and japanese version .
shapiro : well , i really got my start doing a lot of music related documentaries and i wanted do go more towards a storytelling route . there’s such a beautiful audio quality for this whole art form so it seemed like such a natural progression to go into a subgenre like voiceover . plus , knowing somebody who is as amazingly talented as john really helps motivate you to try to cover such a subject .
were you able to predict any of the voice actors ? one of them is for a character you haven ' t quite met yet . . . we ' ll be telling you more about him soon , so stay tuned . - iga
shapiro : i say it was a pretty daunting task to cover what we had covered , so we wanted to keep our eyes on the prizes and focus on what we had covered before looking on to the next project .
owner and operator of gtagaming . com , professional transgender voice actress casey mongillo oversees a fan base with hundreds of thousands of grand theft auto enthusiasts . if you play video games , you might recognize her voice best from titles like heroes of newerth , the ship , star trek online , or the red dead redemption series . her website , which offers tips for players of the controversial video game grand theft auto has been up and running since 2001 , with a facebook page holding a little over three hundred and eighty five thousand followers . mongillo has since maintained a plush relationship with rockstar games , and sings praises for the brand despite initial criticisms gta v faced upon release from several liberal media outlets . i sat down with mongillo , for a back and forth .
diabolique : john , you’ve been a voice actor for almost 20 years now , and many of your personal friends and colleagues appear in this project . as the executive producer , was it important for you to remain objective to the subjects of the documentary , even including yourself ?
dimaggio : it’s growing every day . it’s growing every single day and there’s more people trying to get into it because if you can get your foot in that door , it can be lucrative . it’s not multi - millions of dollars lucrative , but it’s a fine living lucrative . it’s a comfortable and good living , so once you get one voice acting job , you don’t want to stop . so there’s always people finding out about voiceover every day and how amazing it is , how much fun it can be , and how it satiates your desire for crafting a character as an actor .
shapiro : for sure , every interview has that . every person was a master class interview , really . all we did was distill the best nuggets , but when you walk away from the film , you pretty much have an incredible view of this world and the serious depth to it .
comic book buffs , animation junkies and anyone who has ever loved cartoons but are unable to attend the world premiere will be offered exclusive access to view the film on vutopia from december 1 - 21 , 2013 . vutopia is a value - added commercial - free on demand movie service that is part of “movie pass” on time warner cable and bright house networks .
one more housekeeping note to mention before i turn today ' s update over to the fan artists and fan musicians—we ' re going to be updating the kickstarter page a little to reflect dico ' s new role on the project . mana explained it on the forums a few months ago , but we didn ' t want anyone to think we were editing the page in secret .
dimaggio said they have been anticipating this film’s release as much as the countless fans asking about it via social media . “this film has been our baby for the last three years , and now we’re finally ready to let it go and share it to the world , ” dimaggio said . “not only are we releasing a film featuring an unheard of 100 - plus renowned voice actors , but we’ve found a way to incorporate its release for the advancement of society through this clean water charity , charity : water . ”
cm : i started a channel with some friends back in 2012 . it got really popular but we ' ve since disbanded . having a gaming youtube channel was a fun outlet to meet great people and have fun playing games while entertaining anyone who wanted to watch . caseylikesgames allowed me to grow as an actress actually , and as a person . when doing live commentary , you have to be quick on your feet , so it ' s helped me alot with improv and a lot of other skills as an entertainer .
as a longtime viewer of documentaries , the past decade has been a fascinating ride as hot - button political documentaries and nature documentaries took on a nature of their own and gave way to a new era of filmmaking . documentaries have become a cultural staple as they have become more accessible and affordable through digital filmmaking and distribution . since that time , the public have gotten looks into worlds they otherwise would have been oblivious to , and filmmaking itself has seen the competitive nature of ‘90s documentary filmmaking almost become obsolete .
american cinematheque is a 501 c 3 non - profit viewer - supported film exhibition and cultural organization dedicated to the celebration of the moving picture in all of its forms . at the egyptian theatre , the cinematheque presents daily film and video programming which ranges from the classics of american and international cinema to new independent films and digital work . exhibition of rare works , special and rare prints , etc . , combined with fascinating post - screening discussions with the filmmakers who created the work , are a cinematheque tradition that keep audiences coming back for once - in - a - lifetime cinema experiences .
shapiro : yeah , it really got to a point where we had to start turning people away because we had to start editing the thing . we would have never gotten the film done .
dimaggio : it was at least 160 hours . it was ridiculous and chock full of so much stuff .

it ' s been a while , hasn ' t it ? with iga and company deeper into the development process than ever there had been less time to devote to carving out new pieces of the game for backer updates , but the drought is over—there ' s still tons of bloodstained to discover before it comes out . ( and then even more to not discover until after it comes out , and you lock yourself in a spoiler - free room for a couple of days to finish it . )
hello everyone , this is iga . our development progress has entered its peak . in the midst of it all , we ' ve finished recording the japanese voices for the characters . we ' d like to introduce you to the actors :
lego marvel super heroes ( japanese dub ) - deadpool , cyclops , etc .
if you were hoping there just happened to be a new character named mysterious man , and iga had settled on this very oblique way of introducing him—well , me , too . but we ' ll have to settle for having a new character with an actual identity and design instead !
is it . . . is it too much to ask of you guys to make some mysterious man fanart ? just a thought . if you ' re making fanart of any bloodstained characters , even the ones who exist , tag it # igavania or # bloodstained and we ' ll do our best to find it for a future update . like this !

jb : definitely and i do think that is why catullus is so difficult for women because there ' s so much sexual violence there . the energy is sexual and it ' s quite often violent , if mostly towards other men , it ' s still very off - putting .
howard hughes is a driven man who amassed wealth and recognition as a hollywood mover and shaker , aviation giant and man of mystery .

if this sort of remark makes you laugh , then i . compton - burnett is for you . she is , naturally , against the kindly spirit of our times . at the very beginning of the book , as the mistresses are returning to josephine ' s well - run school , two of the women show their different characters by reactions to a crowded train journey .

jb : i think it ' s the same with a lot of things , it looks maybe even a bit glib . but actually you ' ve spent months and months doing boring things , writing stuff in note books and then going through them , and then sometimes they spark off each other and it just falls into place .
fc : yes it is , though it ' s interesting as well , i don ' t know if you ' ve seen the book of poetry that ' s connected to the titian ? it was just interesting that i think no men went for the callisto picture , only the women did . if you look at the division of the pictures that were chosen it was quite telling .

jb : i did classics and ancient history at ucl , first degree and then , some years later , my phd in translation and creative writing at uea . i did latin in school from the age of eleven and then wanted to do a - level greek . our teacher could teach greek but she said : ‘you have to get three people to do it’ and i eventually managed to persuade two other girls to do it . we did the o - level , in nine months basically . and then i changed schools , to a girls ' grammar school and they didn ' t do greek at all . so i had to go to the boys ' grammar school to do greek a - level where they ' d been studying greek for a lot longer . and it was absolutely fascinating , the difference between a boy ' s education and a girl ' s education .
fc : that ' s really interesting . and just turning back to the word for sorrow , i was really interested in why we ' re seeing a sudden renewal of interest in the tristia . so there ' s christoph ransmayr and david malouf and bob dylan , but they really seem to be appealing greatly to women as well . there ' s your word for sorrow and then jo shapcott ' s of mutability is all underpinned with the tristia and jane alison ' s love - artist . in france , darrieussecq has translated them and julia kristeva has written the old man and the wolves which is all about the tristia . so there ' s a real resurgence at the moment .

jb : exactly and i thought about this person who had this dictionary and how hard i ' d had to struggle to get to having my own dictionary . and this was just thrown out with the house contents when they sold their big house after the war . i think that again , it ' s another layer .
the story begins with the arrival of nathaniel blake , a shy young orphan who used to earn a living playing the violin . we are introduced to the majority of the characters through his eyes . there are ten boys at the school already ; nat , and later his friend daniel kean joins them , and soon after nan harding arrives as companion for daisy brooke , the only girl . jo ' s sons rob and teddy are younger than the others and are not counted among the pupils , nor are the two girls , daisy and nan .
et : they are like little stories the dictionaries and that ' s what i got in nox . . .
jb : exactly it ' s only when you go down to the very bottom of that dictionary entry that you start seeing . . . . and what happens sometimes is that you notice that in certain poems and again , maybe it ' s just coincidence , that in certain poems lots and lots of words are being used that , maybe , have legal overtones . and you ' re thinking : ‘is this deliberate ? have we missed out on this ? ’ and then you can incorporate that in your translation . so i think it ' s really important .

spitalfields , 1840 . a murderer nicknamed the man of crows . a heroine with a mysterious past and a vivid imagination .
as the murders cause panic throughout the city , she comes to believe she can channel the voices of his victims and that they will lead her to the man himself . but she ' s already far closer than she realises - and lurking behind the lies she ' s been told about her past are secrets more deadly and devastating than anything her imagination can conjure .
jb : absolutely , yes . the way it was taught was very , very different . in the girls ' school - i ' m sure you both remember this - when we did our set books we would learn the translation by rote and practically recite it in class . and then when we got our passage in the exam we could just write it off and it would all be the same . but at the boys ' school we just went through the books and wrote down vocabulary lists and i was saying : ‘hang on a minute , hold on a minute , i haven ' t written down the translation’ and they would say : ‘what are you doing ? we don ' t write down the translation’ . and as well as our set book we did about three or four other books ; it was really laid back from that point of view .
marie finds a dead baby in the street . she names it rose and tells it about her miscarriages , her cheating husband , and the dominican pool - cleaner who slept with her once . marie pretends the household where she works belongs to her and imagines her female ancestors visiting her . when the baby rots , she covers it with perfume , but she finally decides the flies are trapping rose’s spirit and buries rose by the gardenias . the dominican calls the police , claiming marie killed the baby for evil purposes .
fc : i wonder if part of the appeal for readers as well at the moment is that it is such a frightening story ; that fortune changes overnight and you can ' t understand why and it ' s riches to rags . just like as it could be now with things crashing . . . . and it ' s losing everything in a night , almost [ 1 ] .
jb : absolutely and increasingly so . i have no idea where that came from , it just came . one of those ones where you don ' t think : ‘oh i ' m going to sit down and write a poem about this passage or about’ . . . just thinking of the passage and suddenly it comes . that doesn ' t happen very often , that one did .
by bringing love to the fore as an unfixed category , this article analyses the highly complex lives of female thai migrants who sell sex in denmark . in doing so , the article challenges the static and rather normative binary categories of “sex work” versus “prostitution” and “empowered woman” versus “victim of human trafficking” that are produced in the literature on sex work and prostitution . . . .

jb : what i do when i translate say catullus , or sappho or whoever , is that , in a big a4 book i ' ll put the latin and then leave two lines blank between each line . in the first line i will look up [ definitions ] in the dictionary and think about the literal meaning . and then in the line underneath i will start writing in ideas for what i might do with it . and on the facing page , while i ' m looking in the dictionary , i will be noting : ‘ah , this word , which is being used in a love poem , is used in a court of law’ , which i wouldn ' t have known if i hadn ' t looked in the dictionary and saw all the different meanings of it . and maybe catullus wasn ' t using it in that way but it ' s terribly interesting when you see all the different ways a word might be used and its semantic overtones .

fc : and did they do better ? because we certainly . . . in my girls ' school we did better than the boys ' school .
the school is not run on conventional lines . all the children have their own gardens and their own pets , and are encouraged to experiment with running businesses . pillow fights are permitted on saturdays , subject to a time limit . children are treated as individuals , with a strong emphasis on gently molding their characters .
jb : . . . and displacement . brodsky , i think it was , said that displacement is the commonplace now of our century , that ' s why so many writers were drawn to ovid , the tristia in particular . but i think yes , exactly , women feel that they are exiled from the mainstream literary culture and they are exiled also from the male literary western canon . so yes , there ' s a huge pull . but tristia is such a slippery , fluid text , it has so many levels that it appeals because there ' s so much that you can do with it . if you ' re going to be transgressional , if you ' re looking for new ways of entering into the text and of working with it and of transforming it , there is so much there in tristia . that ' s one of the reasons why it was out of fashion because it was very hard for people to deal with the high arts of ovid and then suddenly the sort of bathos and then the repetitions . and so much of it in a rather self - pitying tone .
jb : it is lovely because you ' re less confident , aren ' t you ? you think : ‘i don ' t really know that , i ' ve got to look up the whole thing and make sure’ . but i think she ' s quite right because my latin was never sight reading perfect in any way and when she said it was actually an advantage because you go back to the dictionary , i thought ‘yes’ , and felt like punching the air .
jb : i did an awful lot of work actually before i started writing so that i had taken copious notes from say , carlyon ' s [ history of ] gallipoli , [ maurice shadbolt’s anthology of interviews ] gallipoli voices , and so much source material . and i was very lucky that the guy whose dictionary it was , that his very small unit actually had records , diary records online . so people mentioned him and also quite a lot of characters who reoccur throughout the book in different poems . and so a lot of that source material actually comes from letters home and diaries . . so i collated all of that together . i also did an awful lot of [ tristia ] translation that isn ' t in the book and sometimes i think i actually cut too much out . i did this classic women ' s thing of thinking : ‘oh i can ' t have too much of this , i ' m going on too much’ , but it would have been quite nice to have a bit more of the translations . and then it was just a case of working out which sparked off the other . . .
when i hear bob dylan droning to

, his voice of 40 years ago sounds already ancient , his message as boring as that of the rolling stones unable to get satisfaction or the beatles ' claim that all yer need is lurv .
fc : it is , yes . could you say more about how you made the selections from the tristia , but also the way in which you select the passages from voices of gallipoli in ' knocking at the door ' , and ' second quarter ' as well , where you have naso speaking and geoffrey . . .
a middle - aged steamboat captain who believes in a rigorous self - control when it comes to needs , desires and emotions slowly falls for a pretty female stowaway .
jb : something just suddenly happens , yes . which actually reflects the sequence i ' m working on at the moment , about the survival of [ aeschylus’s ] myrmidons . there are ten fragments and the sequence follows different stories and voices over the centuries that might have had something to do with that survival . it ' s all completely serendipity so that the whole of reception , the whole of the transmission of the text , is a bit like the word for sorrow - going in to a hospital fete and picking up a dictionary . i mean , that ' s practically how it happened with the survival of ancient texts , people found them on stalls in istanbul and so on . it is just extraordinary . . . . the [ anthology ] voices of gallipoli , that was an extraordinary book , which a friend gave to me as it was completely out of print , . there were interviews with about 20 very ordinary private soldiers , and many of them didn ' t want to talk about gallipoli and had never talked about it until those interviews . many said : ’i want it to go , i don ' t want to remember it’ . just sometimes again , when i was looking through and collating all this information , things just leapt out and you thought : ‘yes , this needs to go with that’ .
krik ? krak ! contains nine stories and an epilogue . although the stories take place in port - au - prince or ville rose , haiti , or new york , they do not overlap . the only exception is “between the pool and the gardenias , ” which mentions women from earlier stories . all the stories are all about haitian women trying to understand their relationships to their families and to haiti . the epilogue , “women like us , ” suggests that these women are related . the epilogue’s unnamed narrator , possibly danticat herself , notices her similarity to her mother and female ancestors . these women cook to express sorrow , but the narrator chooses to write . her mother doesn’t approve because haitian writers are often killed . however , the narrator’s female ancestors are united in death , and she uses stories to keep their history alive .
et : it reminds me of sarah ruden talking about looking things up in the dictionary and it being quite a female thing to do . i thought it was lovely .

slight comedy of a somewhat flighty woman is made memorably by that bewitching minx glynis johns . she ' s ably supported by a droll jack buchanan and an often flummoxed peter finch .
et : i just wonder if there is a gender thing that one could say is going on there . certainly with anne carson it ' s one of the ways in which she brings herself into all of her writing by this reflecting as she writes on what she ' s doing . and you do that in prefaces and in notes as a translator , by not being invisible by explaining what you ' re doing . and i don ' t know if that ' s a woman ' s game or if that ' s . . .
jb : it ' s very interesting , isn ' t it ? and also in scholarship as well you get jennifer ingleheart , and jan gaertner has done a critical text too . . i think women are very attracted to texts that they can feminise , in a way . i feel that something like tristia which has been neglected and not just by literary culture but also by scholarly culture as well - i mean it really was considered to be completely terrible and not worth studying and then there was a revisionist view of it probably about the eighties , early eighties - i ' ve often wondered whether that also reflected the fact that there was a lot more interest in it from writers around about that time as well . i think women are very drawn to texts that seem outside the male canon . it ' s like : ‘we can do something with them’ . do you think there ' s a case for that ?
fc : what is really distinctive and interesting is the way you overlay the tristia with these first world war testimonies . when alice oswald was talking about memorial she was saying she was really keen to wrest the iliad away from the public school ethos that had informed its receptions in the uk and i was just wondering whether you had a similar feeling towards . . . ?

jb : well i think there ' s quite a movement in poetry that it should not be explained , that it does sort of come down on high to you , it almost possesses you and you write the poem . and if you read a poem you experience it , you don ' t experience it in an intellectual way , you experience it in perhaps an emotional way or a spiritual way .
two nameless narrators are in love and write each other letters they will never read . the female narrator is angry that her father opposes their love , but she finds out he gave up all his possessions to protect her from the macoutes . the female narrator’s family hears the macoutes kill her neighbor , whose son was in the youth federation . the male narrator , also a member , has fled haiti . in his boat is a pregnant teenager , célianne , who was raped by a macoute . days after her baby dies , she throws it and herself overboard . the female narrator sees a black butterfly and knows the male narrator has died too .

jb : well , i think writers are drawn to texts about writers . and when i first started , as i say in the introduction , my first thought was : here was a text which was about being a writer in the ancient world which is very , very rare . but in fact when you start to unpick it , it ' s far more artificial than that . but my first thought was : ‘goodness , ovid is actually telling us what it was like to be a writer and to fall out of favour ; the dangers of writing’ and that seemed quite appealing . but then of course , you realise there ' s a lot more going on .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
nothing else was ever like them . they depict an entirely first world war world ; they are written largely in quite oblique dialogue . yet they are ever new . no novels more deserved the name novel than hers . and they are truly subversive .
jb : yes , i wanted them to talk to each other because in a way you get to this stage with ' versioning ' , i suppose rather than translation , and you think : ‘where am i going to go now with it ? i could do this very impressionistic translation , i could do something very wacky , i could do something very political , gender driven’ . i was thinking ‘where else can it go ? ’ , and one way was where the translations are part of a narrative and enact the narrative yet remain , for the most part , what you would call translation rather than version or imitation although there are some of those in the book . i think that that is actually one of the most subversive things : translation per se .
the biggest challenge actually i think is : ‘how do you make this accessible without lots of notes or head quotes ? ’ . that , i think , is one of the hardest things . it ' s interesting , in the last edition of modern poetry for translation they published one [ of the new sequence ] with no note at all . and also agenda , another poetry volume , has published two or three recently with no note at all , just a little head quote from a historian or something that explains what ' s going on . but i think that ' s quite difficult to do so i ' m sort of working through that . the whole concept of framing is very interesting and important , i think . with the word for sorrow some of the critics , poetry critics , as opposed to classicists , did not like the fact that there was a preface and notes . they felt that this poetry should not be explained and if you need to put a preface in then the poem isn ' t working .
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .
as well as that , yesterday & apos ; s announcement also confirm the return of major players like james mcavoy , michael fassbender , and jennifer lawrence , whose participation seemed in the balance for a while . if that & apos ; s not enough , jessica chastain is reportedly close to sign on as the film & apos ; s villain . for those who slept on the underrated crimson peak last year , this is great news . she & apos ; s a great , flamboyant baddie , and would be a great addition to the universe .
jb : definitely . but i wonder how , now that tristia ' s been subsumed back into the mainstream , how women will be relating to it in the future and i think that will be very interesting because the relationship of women with catullus is very much more difficult .

very intelligently written but no in a way that makes you feel stupid . i sometimes find authors try to be too clever for their own good when trying to portray scenes and stories , but this book suffers none of these issues . brilliant story telling about some rather murky subjects !
jb : yes it is . this was the point where the dictionary started to appear as a character . i mean it was already but suddenly there was another thread coming in , the idea of using a gloss in a poetic way , or a definition in a poetic way . . . because that ' s what we ' re doing all the time and you have to have a creative relationship with your dictionary as much as anything . it ' s like anne carson’s nox . i hadn ' t actually read nox at that stage - , i don ' t think actually it was out - but when you read it you think :
oh , these [ definitions ] are [ from ] lewis and short or the latin dictionary or whatever and then you realise that they ' re not at all . i very much admired that .
jb : that ' s very true . i mean there ' s quite a lot written in translation studies about how women deal with translating texts that are anti - women and whether your aim is to subvert them . or is the mere act of translating them and then revoicing through a woman ' s voice , as a transvestite , almost a transgender approach , is that subverting it in itself ? or whether you do something with the text that is , perhaps in a very subtle way , subverting it . so there ' s quite a lot of discussion about that .
fc : i was really interested as well in the last pairing where you ' ve got the passage from tristia 4 . 9 about being read from sunrise to sunset , dawn to dusk , east to west , paired with this comment from the voices of gallipoli where the memories are fading . it was a very striking way to end a book that ' s all about memories surviving and the power of memory . in fact , ovid has survived in the most surprising ways and you write really beautifully about the serendipity of survival . the fact of finding this book in a village fete - a whole project flourished from that .
jb : i think so , yes . it is , very much so . there ' s that element about it and there ' s also the element that the narrator , the poet ' s ‘i’ , seems very real , doesn ' t it ? we get this autobiography in it , which is fairly rare .
in denmark , human trafficking has emerged as a central issue within the policy field of prostitution during the last decade . taking a foucauldian approach from a historical perspective , understanding the policy field of prostitution as a discursive terrain , the article analyses the thinking that lies behind policies on prostitution by identifying ruptures and discursive struggles which lead to . . . [ show full abstract ]
much of the effect of the novels is achieved , as in a wilde play , by larding the text with amoral epigrams , such as the one about murder , just quoted . others include :
it is treating the old with more sympathy to speak evil of them ,
and
blood is thicker than water .
i used to think water was thicker…
jb : in the illustrations , one of the chorus is wearing a star trek shirt , there are mad horses all over the place . . . very odd . i reviewed it and was trying desperately to tell people how the pictures related to the text but i couldn ' t really come up with anything . i love her work , but that ' s a tough one .
buchanan is johns ' lady - chasing , bachelor uncle . through flashbacks he tells her story . she is a constant fighter for the underdog , abandoning her wealthy fiance the night before their wedding to marry his starving playwright friend , finch . when finch becomes a success , who should turn up but sinden , the jilted fiance . now he ' s the one in trouble and on . . . read more
jb : definitely , yes . i was thinking : we ' ve got peter green ' s translation , which is amazing , and it ' s this big . . . so the rationale of not using all of that translation was because we have [ green’s ] book with them all in , so these are like the little bits , like you might have in an occasion book , that i ' ve chosen out to focus on .
jb : he doesn ' t actually . at a [ translation ] conference we were discussing this and since then i ' ve been looking at it . carol ann duffy for example , when her laureate poems are published in the guardian or somewhere , they come with a little explanation , you know : ‘this is ' achilles ' heel’ , this is [ about ] david beckham and this is the reason , this is the myth’ . when i reviewed her book , the bees , for the times i noticed very particularly that when she collected those poems in a poetry volume , there was no note , no explanation at all . so it ' s just : ' achilles heel ' , you don ' t know that it ' s about david beckham . it ' s almost like in a poetry volume there ' s not going to be any explanation or any kind of annotation , any framing .
grace’s mother ( ma ) is upset that grace’s sister , caroline , is marrying eric , who isn’t haitian . ma makes bone soup every day , which she believes will end caroline’s engagement . grace begins dreaming about her father , as she did when he died of cancer . in order to get a visa , grace’s father married a widow , then divorced her to bring his real family to the united states . ma worries that caroline thinks no one but eric will love her . before the ceremony , caroline becomes very nervous , but ma reassures her . there is a heavy sadness over the family because they know caroline will never again be as close to them as she has been all her life . ma asks grace to burn her belongings when she dies so no one will feel sorry for her . grace refuses . she visits her father’s grave to tell him about the wedding and her new u . s . citizenship , and when she returns home , she helps her mother make bone soup .

once among the most popular of france’s filmmakers — and possibly still its most flamboyantly romantic — lelouch clearly lost his touch somewhere along the way , and his 44th feature will do little to put the cheese peddler back on top . like kaminsky , who traded in shooting photos on the front lines of multiple wars for his new alpine bovine series , lelouch now specializes in exasperatingly safe fare . here , his hedge comes in casting hallyday as his proxy , knowing the faded french icon can still lure a crowd , even if his performance range is effectively limited to making his blue eyes sparkle and / or moisten on cue .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
although bastards fails to deliver on its initial promises , its photogenic setting and talented cast still yield a few strong moments , captured by dp robert alazraki ( a french gigolo ) in shots that use windows , doors and multi - layered reflections to frame the action . there’s an underlying breeziness to the filmmaking that’s rather pleasant to behold , even if the cheese - factor can seem awfully high at times .
it’s at this point that the scenario , co - written by lelouch and valerie perrin , picks up steam , with the cheekily named sisters spring ( irene jacob of three colors : red ) , summer ( pauline lefevre ) , autumn ( sarah kazemy ) and winter ( jenna thiam ) arriving on scene to stir up trouble and old memories , creating a whir of tension that ultimately brings out the truth amid plenty of shouts , tears , champagne and cigars .
an initial driving sequence , set to a duet by louis armstrong and ella fitzgerald , takes us to a modern retreat in the alps , where famous photojournalist jacques kaminsky ( hallyday ) and his latest wife , bianca ( agnes soral ) , are looking to settle down for the long run . but any notion of stability in jacques’ life , especially when it comes to women , is quickly batted aside when he meets attractive real estate broker , nathalie ( bonnaire ) , and explains to her his very gallic relationship rules : “one is faithful as long as one can’t find someone better . ”
lelouch doesn’t judge as kaminsky leaves paris ( and his wife , in the process ) for a new life in the mountains ( with new love nathalie , played by sandrine bonnaire ) , though his four daughters are less forgiving , ignoring his calls and refusing his invitations to come visit . for a long , lonely while , the only ones around to enjoy the beautiful surroundings are the photog , his inexplicably smitten younger g . f . and the guardian couple who maintain the old farmhouse he purchased — not counting a well - trained bald eagle , whose cameo role swells to full - blown co - star status by pic’s end .
an unwieldy family drama with flashes of energy and a totally incredulous third act . twitter
johnny hallyday ( “vengeance” ) and sandrine bonnaire ( “a nos amours” ) star in this latest feature from oscar - winning french director claude lelouch ( “a man and a woman” ) .
faster than you can shout “ ciel , mon mari ! ” jacques ditches bianca to shack up with nathalie in his new log cabin , bringing along boxes of vintage cameras and a libido the size of switzerland that has spawned four girls from four marriages . ( the kaminsky character was clearly inspired by lelouch himself , who has seven children from four wives . ) when jacques’ best buddy , the crafty doctor frederic ( mitchell ) , shows up for a little r & r and realizes how distraught his friend is about being cut off from his own kids , he summons jacques’ daughters to the mountains , claiming their dad is fatally ill .
but whatever momentum lelouch was building in the film’s mid - section is upended by several ludicrous plot twists in the latter reels , undermining the family dynamic in favor of genre conventions that really have no place in the story . to explain these late events would spoil the movie , although they honestly make little sense and seem to have been culled from something long lost in the director’s lengthy filmography .
alongside armstrong / fitzgerald standards like “cheek to cheek , ” the soundtrack uses georges moustaki ’s summery “les eaux de mars” to pick up the pace at different points in the film . while hallyday and mitchell never belt out any songs of their own , they do sing along to the famous dean martin - ricky nelson ballad from rio bravo , in a particularly bromantic scene of senior bonding .
dedicating his latest film to his daughters , france ' s corniest director casts johnny hallyday as an absentee dad trying to make amends .
with : johnny hallyday , sandrine bonnaire , eddy mitchell , irene jacob , pauline lefevre , sarah kazemy , jenna thiam , valerie kaprisky , isabella de herogh , agnes soral , silvia kahn , antoine dulery . jean - franocis derec , jacky ido , gilles lemaire . ( french , spanish dialogue )
suitable only for little old ladies and hallyday lovers , this baffling blend of genres begins as a romance ( the first buds of spring ) , shifts into family melodrama ( hot summer nights ) and ends quite unexpectedly with a murder mystery ( one that resolves itself in the dead of winter ) . there’s even a bastille day bank heist along the way , though the details are mentioned only in passing — a shame , since it sounds considerably more engaging than the warm - and - fuzzy business in the foreground .
then kaminsky’s best friend / personal doctor ( eddy mitchell ) shows up , instantly diagnoses the situation and decides to bend the truth , telling the four daughters that their father is dying — a ploy that successfully compels them to visit , while creating considerable anxiety all around . is papa really sick ? if not , how should he break the news that they came under false pretenses ? dramatically , fireworks should follow , but here they occur beforehand ( only literally , alas , with a big bastille day show ) .
as the girls arrive by car , taxi and helicopter — the youngest , hiver ( jenna thiam ) , even hitchhikes , getting a ride with a black perfume salesman whom the film politely invites to stay , then promptly forgets about — kaminsky silently notes how they have grown into successful , independent women , especially the eldest , printemps ( irene jacob ) , who is nearly nathalie’s age . meanwhile , instead of being assertive about their feelings or honest about how screwed up they are from having a serial womanizer for a dad , they instantly go in for the group hug — an impulse totally in keeping with the pic’s easy - listening soundtrack , which seems better suited to a dreary hotel bar .
inspired at least in part by his own life , lelouch has seven daughters , the first few of which were also spaced roughly seven years apart . perhaps that’s why the film so gently sides with kaminsky , rather than whatever his offspring must be feeling , especially just after dad drops his bombshell . automne ( sarah kazemy , the weakest of the four ) throws a small fit , but it blows over quickly , and as the girls inexplicably unwind half - naked in a nearby waterfall , lelouch pulls a cruel trick , killing off one of the main characters — a misstep from which the story never recovers . the bastard !
