santoor , which was used in soofi music in the velley of kashmir , owes its classical status to pandit shivkumar sharma . in the early decades of the twentieth century , santoor or shata - tantri veena as it was called in the ancient times , was used as an accompaniment to a specific type of singing called sufiana mausiqi . when pandit uma dutt sharma , a renowned vocalist from jammu , and a disciple of pt . bade ramdasji of benaras spotted it , he was convinced of the potentialities of the instrument . after extensive research on the instrument he bestowed the responsibility of establishing it on the concert platform on his only son shivkumar . the rest , as they say , is history .

pandit shivkumar sharma is an indian classical musician and a renowned ‘santoor’ player . this biography of shivkumar sharma provides detailed information about his childhood , life , achievements , works & timeline .
pandit shivkumar sharma is an indian classical musician and a renowned ‘santoor’ player ; santoor is an indian folk instrument . born to a trained vocalist and tabla player , he was destined to become a classical musician from an early age . his father recognized potential in a folk instrument ‘santoor’ and encouraged him to learn playing it . shivkumar sharma became famous because of his improvisations with santoor and he revolutionized it as one of the most riveting classical instruments . he is single - handedly responsible for making the santoor a popular classical instrument . he introduced the new chromatic arrangement of notes and increased the range to cover full three octaves . he also improvised a new technique of playing with which he could sustain notes and maintain sound continuity . he is the sole musician to have brought santoor at par with other classical instruments and established it across the globe with his sheer brilliance and conviction . he is among those rare classical musicians who have been able to achieve success in the world of film music as well . his compositions for blockbusters such as ‘silsila’ and ‘chandni’ are a manifestation of his musical brilliance . with his creative genius , he has created a new genre of instrumental music . through his performances over a period of more than half a century , he has created millions of new listeners and ardent fans of indian classical music .
he started learning music at the age of five . initially , he learnt playing tabla and was trained to be a vocalist by his father and guru . when he was 12 , he started playing at the local radio station in jammu .
his father did extensive research on santoor , a string musical instrument , and dreamt of his son becoming the first musician to play indian classical music on it . when he was 13 , he started learning santoor to fulfill his father’s dream .
in 1955 , he delivered his first public performance in bombay ( present day mumbai ) . following year , he composed the background music for one of the scenes for the movie ‘jhanak jhanak payal baje’ . his first solo album was recorded in 1960 .
in 1967 , he teamed up with flautist hariprasad chaurasia and musician brij bhushan kabra , to produce a concept album titled ‘call of the valley’ . the album turned out to be one of the greatest hits in indian classical music .
throughout his career , he released numerous innovative experimental albums on santoor music including ‘the glory of strings – santoor’ ( 1991 ) , ‘varshā - a homage to the rain gods’ ( 1993 ) , ‘hundred strings of santoor’ ( 1994 ) , ‘the pioneer of santoor ( 1994 ) ’ , ‘sampradaya’ ( 1999 ) , ‘vibrant music for reiki’ ( 2003 ) , ‘essential evening chants’ ( 2007 ) ‘the last word in santoor’ ( 2009 ) and sangeet sartaj ( 2011 ) .
he also composed music along with flautist hari prasad chaurasia , for many films such as ‘silsila’ ( 1981 ) , ‘faasle’ ( 1985 ) , ‘chandni’ ( 1989 ) , ‘lamhe’ ( 1991 ) and ‘darr’ ( 1993 ) . they came to be known as the ' shiv - hari ' music duo .
in 2002 , he published his autobiography titled ‘journey with a hundred strings : my life in music’ . he continues to teach santoor music in the guru shishya tradition , without charging a fee from his students , who come to him from all the corners of india as well as different parts of the world like japan , germany , australia and america .
his most significant contribution to music has been towards the popularization of the folk classical instrument ‘santoor’ . he carried out experiments with santoor for many years to make it more suitable for his classical technique . the modified santoor which is played in present days has got 31 bridges with a total of 91 strings . it has got a range of three octaves with a chromatic tuning . he is also known for creating a technique for smoother gliding between music notes in order to imitate human voice quality .
in 1985 , he was awarded an honorary citizenship of the city of baltimore , usa .
in 1986 , he received the ‘sangeet natak akademi award’ , the highest indian recognition given to practicing artists . it is awarded by the sangeet natak akademi , india ' s national academy of music , dance & drama .

in 1991 , he was conferred with the ‘padma shri’ , the fourth highest civilian award in the republic of india .
he also received a ‘special award for outstanding music and sale of film’ for 1991 romantic film ‘lamhe’ and 1993 romantic psychological thriller film ‘darr’ .
in 1998 , he became the winner of the ‘ustad hafiz ali khan award’ .
in 2001 , he became the recipient of ‘padma vibhusan’ , the second highest civilian award in the republic of india .

once in a long while is born a man whose efforts change the face of reality , whose conviction forces destiny to rewrite itself , whose genius has an impact across centuries . to state that pandit shivkumar sharma has created history in the world of music , is an understatement , an inadequate attempt to capture the maestro’s achievements and contributions . after all how many musicians can boast of single handedly bringing forth an obscure , almost unknown instrument to the level of being “indispensable” on the concert platform ! musicians and their instruments do become synonyms , but how often does an instrument acquire an identity because of a musician !
however , the road to success was far from smooth . after several radio broadcasts and performances he appeared for his national level concert in mumbai in 1955 . this was a turning point in his life where he received applause as well as was severely criticized by the orthodox sections of musicians and listeners . santoor according to them was not a complete instrument on which one could play classical music . instead of getting disheartened or discouraged , in his characteristic manner he took these criticisms as a challenge . after in - depth research , he made some important modifications on this hundred stringed instrument , like a new chromatic arrangement of notes and increased the range to cover full three octaves . besides , he also created a new technique of playing with which he could sustain notes and maintain sound continuity . today santoor is at par with any classical instrument , well established not just all over india , but across the globe .
with his creative genius , pt . shivkumar sharma has created a new genre of instrumental music . through his performance career of over a half century , he has created millions of new listeners and ardent fans of indian classical music . his performances are such a brilliant combination of rich knowledge , perfect skill and abundant spontaneous creativity , that all the sections of listeners feel enriched . little surprise that his concerts are awaited by connoisseurs , music students , musicians and lay listeners alike .
he believes in the immortality of this great heritage of indian classical music and wishes to leave no stone unturned to make it so . with this aim in mind , he has been imparting his knowledge to the next generation of musicians . so deep is his conviction that despite no institutional or government support , he has been teaching in the guru shishya tradition , without charging a fee from his students , who come to him from all the corners of india as well as different parts of the world like japan , germany , australia and america .
while he never compromises on the purity of music , pt . sharma’s open minded approach has resulted in some of the most popular , innovative experimental albums like call of the valley , feelings , mountains , etc . in fact he is among those rare musicians who have been able to create successfully in the world of film music as well . now for over forty years santoor is an indispensable part of indian film music . his compositions for blockbusters like silsila , lamhe , chandni , darr , etc . are all time favourites across the country .
music , he believes , is food for the soul . naturally , his music is meditative and soothing at the same time . his immense faith in the ancient wisdom of vedanta has resulted in creation of music for shlokas from the upanishads and a new raag called antardhwani .

i have seen many of your articles , they are impressive and nicely written . i don’t find any bias in your articles which is the good point here . i have seen some other blogs as well but some are so much biased . anyway thanks for good posts . are you writing for any newspaper apart from this blog ? if yes please let me know . thanks you .
sir , if you don’t mind , why don’t you write articles on - how to change the vote bank politics - caste , religion based politics etc in seemandhra + how to uplift backward sections of society like obc , sc , st etc + policies for them + and making them as part of mainstream development and society . i , kishore reddy , from nellore preparing for ias exam and i am very much interested in these issues and in fact i like your articles in this bog . thanks .
i really appreciate the manner in which sudhir interviews persons . he gives them an opportunity to speak without trying to force them in a particular direction . some of the other anchors tend to interrupt constantly without the interviewee being allowed to give their point of view . keep up the good work sudhir .
both of them are doing a great job . i appreciate their efforts . they have got an indomitable spirit with a difference which differentiates them from the rest . may god bless them .
please accept my compliments for your good work with no - frills , ‘as a matter of fact’ reporting . i have been watching your reports on farmer suicides and have after a degree of contemplation decided to plunge in to bail out atleast a farmer’s family that he left behind especially one that left his children vulnerable to exploitation as bonded labour , due to their inability to repay the debts their father incurred . i along with some like minded friends and colleagues intend to pool up self - earned money to bring a positive change in someone’s life . would appreciate your direction and good advice in this regard . many thanks in advance and for the reportage , without which the thought of bailing out a farmer’s family in misery wouldn’t have occured .
by the way , the photograph with yourself and sudhir on the temple steps is so impressive . may happiness , health and prosperity be yours forever .

however , none have received quite the acclaim being chucked the way of the disaster artist with the james franco - directed film receiving a standing ovation which lasted for the entirety of the post - screening q & a with the film ' s cast - a festival first .

there isn’t much more to the plot than the tides of this relationship , and as it fizzles , so does the film . reflecting the theme of order and mathematics , domain is divided into mini chapters with a shot of menacingly green , swirling water , and a note of how much time has passed . there is almost as little point to this gimmick as the incongruously pop soundtrack . for the most part , the music is a confused and unnecessary addition to the film that , aside from one momentarily entrancing cabaret number , may have worked better without music . the palate is dark and overcast , though this seemed more indicative of the low budget rather than carefully crafted mood , and the overall effect of watching domain is unsatisfyingly depressive .
jurassic outpost’s chris pugh tweeted on friday that “isla nublar rescue mission” could hint at jurassic world 2’s official title , referring to universal’s “telling move” when it bought the domain name for ”fate of the furious . ” still , pugh finds it “unlikely” that the domain is actually jurassic world 2’s title . the more likely scenario is that the “rescue mission” refers to a plot device , like a fictional organization . . . or literally just an actual mission .
the premise of jurassic world 2 reportedly took bryce dallas howard by surprise , which means there’s little chance that the sequel will be another run - of - the - mill killer dinosaur flick . bayona has previously referred to the sequel as a “fun” dinosaur adventure , but has also hinted at political elements playing a major role in the film . the domain names make it clear that jurassic world 2 will contain political themes , but it won’t be clear exactly what kind of film it wants to be until more new information comes out .
the cast - including james franco , his brother dave and alison brie - were all in attendance at the premiere in which frenzied inflatable football - throwing fans of the film ' s inspiration - “worst film ever made” the room - turned up in their droves in what has easily been the festival ' s biggest draw .
as troubled lisa , madi vodane is effective and for a low budget production that deals with real - life horrific issues such as bulimia , depression and self - harm , devil’s domain has certainly has promise . we feel for this young lady , initially…

the film as a whole doesn ' t make a lot of sense , but from moment to moment it is effectively visceral and raw . it ' s compelling almost by accident .
at around midnight in toronto last night , there was only one place anyone wanted to be - at the ryerson theatre for the midnight madness screening of new film the disaster artist .
and new owners will be able to make their own use of the cupboard under the stairs , which in the film was harry’s pokey bedroom , with crammed in shelves and a camp bed .
a suggestive relationship between pierre ( isaïe sultan ) , a handsome teenage boy , and nadia ( betty blue ’s béatrice dalle ) , his wild , older aunt , seems like a promising formula , but in the case of domain , this set - up delivers little more than a few good performances .
all this can easily be applied to the film , where transitions that in literature took centuries have come about in a decade . in cinematic practice , particularly in russia , this change - over has partially become established reality . some of the players whom we meet in russian films are not actors in our sense but people who portray themselves and primarily in their own work process . in western europe the capitalistic exploitation of the film denies consideration to modern man’s legitimate claim to being reproduced . under these circumstances the film industry is trying hard to spur the interest of the masses through illusion - promoting spectacles and dubious speculations .
jurassic world 2 is ready to enter the production phase , as filming for the highly anticipated sequel is reportedly beginning very soon . director j . a . bayona is building buzz for his approach to the sequel as a darker film than its predecessor , while the idea of less cgi and more of a mix of digital and animatronic effects gives the film a chance to look and feel closer to the original jurassic park .
satan would find a lot more willing customers if it always appeared in the guise of the hottie villain featured in jared cohn’s grungy horror film . played by linda bella , this demon who goes by the name of destiny wears a slinky red dress showing off a killer body . even when her face occasionally morphs into a truly grotesque visage , she’s still alluring . the character turns out to be the best thing about devil’s domain , which attempts to elevate its familiar genre tropes by throwing in moralizing lessons about online bullying , among other things .
director of the room tommy wiseau also walked the red carpet having come straight from a pre - screening party also attended by co - star greg sestero and chloë sevigny at the festival to promote new film lean on pete .
aided by a more ‘interested’ performance by michael madsen , devil’s domain gets off on the right cloven hoof . as lisa’s stepfather , madsen’s character bill questions the cruelty of teenagers and the use of technology to make matters worse . of course , back in 1976 teens didn’t need mobiles and web cams to be cruel to carrie but that’s another story…
as expected , the remainder of devil’s domain offers the audience conscience - free retribution for lisa’s suffering via her pact with the female - formed devil . a burning phone , maniacs with axes , flesh - eating fun , some rack torture . it’s here ( albeit briefly ) , yet none of it works particularly well . the manson syndrome barely figures too .

unfortunately , bonham carter has said that much of the jiu - jitsu in suffragette had to be cut due to story considerations . however , garrud & apos ; s fighting spirit definitely remains part of the film & apos ; s dna .
largely derided among viewers for aussie lazenby ' s wooden performance in the wake of sean connery ' s retirement , the film has since been reappraised for its mod - leanings , new wave - esque aesthetics , and that tragically affecting ending .
one target of suffragette ire was chancellor of the exchequer david lloyd george , another real - life character who appears in the film . in february 1913 , suffragettes bombed an empty house that was being built for lloyd george ; suffragette shows this attack .
not french but austrian , in fact , writer / director patric chiha’s primary motivation was to film la dalle . the film is less a young man’s rite of passage than the exposure of cracks in a tough , hurting , older woman . the role is one of those magnificently intense , suffering , emotional ones that necessarily conjure the spectres of davis and crawford . dalle is predictably terrific , with her aged , goblin , jolie - laideur , and that exquisitely french sense of noble , justified world - weariness .
“whistles , cheering and yells of ' great job ! ' and ' bravo ! ' could be heard , and at the tail end of the film ' s six - minute standing ovation , a chant carried throughout the orchestra up to the balcony . ”
the distracted person , too , can form habits . more , the ability to master certain tasks in a state of distraction proves that their solution has become a matter of habit . distraction as provided by art presents a covert control of the extent to which new tasks have become soluble by apperception . since , moreover , individuals are tempted to avoid such tasks , art will tackle the most difficult and most important ones where it is able to mobilize the masses . today it does so in the film . reception in a state of distraction , which is increasing noticeably in all fields of art and is symptomatic of profound changes in apperception , finds in the film its true means of exercise . the film with its shock effect meets this mode of reception halfway . the film makes the cult value recede into the background not only by putting the public in the position of the critic , but also by the fact that at the movies this position requires no attention . the public is an examiner , but an absent - minded one .
following on from last year ' s surprise releases of 10 cloverfield lane and blair witch , a24 - the studio behind independent hits swiss army man and american honey - has dropped a mysterious trailer for a brand new sci - fi film that nobody knows anything about .
in suffragette , helena bonham carter portrays pharmacist and bomb maker edith ellyn . unlike other characters in the film , ellyn has a husband who also wants women to get the vote . one real - life couple who both supported female suffrage were barbara ayrton gould and her husband gerald .
midnight madness is a popular tiff strand in which films - usually from the horror genre - are shown to a rowdier crowd in the early hours . this year ' s strand has included eminem - produced battle rap film bodied as well as nicolas cage ' s mom and dad .
produced by cleopatra films , the film features songs by iggy pop , 3teeth , luna 13 , onyx , dmx , missing persons and , as the poster above attests , ‘steve severin of the cure’ ( despite him being a long - standing member of siouxsie and the banshees ( ahem ) .
dalle’s performance as nadia is undoubtedly captivating , but the intensity of her glare often borders on malice in a way that seems unintentional . in fact , all the characters spend most of the film cloaked in such serious introspection that the absence of any lightness or nuance begins to feel heavy and dull .
in early 20th century britain , the cause of female suffrage was usually ignored by the press and dismissed by politicians . to gain support for their right to vote , suffragettes turned away from peaceful protest and embraced militant tactics that grew to include window breaking and arson . their fight for equality , which escalated in violence in 1912 and 1913 , is depicted in the new film suffragette . the movie also shows historical figures and fictional characters interacting as they struggle to get women the vote . here are six real - life suffragettes ( plus one man ) who either appear in suffragette or whose stories are reflected in the film .
for the film , what matters primarily is that the actor represents himself to the public before the camera , rather than representing someone else . one of the first to sense the actor’s metamorphosis by this form of testing was pirandello . though his remarks on the subject in his novel si gira were limited to the negative aspects of the question and to the silent film only , this hardly impairs their validity . for in this respect , the sound film did not change anything essential . what matters is that the part is acted not for an audience but for a mechanical contrivance – in the case of the sound film , for two of them . “the film actor , ” wrote pirandello , “feels as if in exile – exiled not only from the stage but also from himself . with a vague sense of discomfort he feels inexplicable emptiness : his body loses its corporeality , it evaporates , it is deprived of reality , life , voice , and the noises caused by his moving about , in order to be changed into a mute image , flickering an instant on the screen , then vanishing into silence . . . . the projector will play with his shadow before the public , and he himself must be content to play before the camera . ” this situation might also be characterized as follows : for the first time – and this is the effect of the film – man has to operate with his whole living person , yet forgoing its aura . for aura is tied to his presence ; there can be no replica of it . the aura which , on the stage , emanates from macbeth , cannot be separated for the spectators from that of the actor . however , the singularity of the shot in the studio is that the camera is substituted for the public . consequently , the aura that envelops the actor vanishes , and with it the aura of the figure he portrays .
the real - life character of emmeline pankhurst , portrayed by meryl streep , appears in suffragette . though pankhurst is seen on screen for just a few minutes , she & apos ; s a symbol of inspiration for many of the film & apos ; s characters — just as pankhurst inspired suffragettes in real life .
the novel ' s 1969 film adaptation saw bond ( george lazenby ) driving off to settle down with tracy ( diana rigg ) , only to have her die in a hail of bullets from foe blofeld ( telly savalas ) , as louis armstrong ' s brutally ironic we have all the time in the world plays .
penned by robert wade and neal purvis – the screenwriters on all of craig ' s bond films to date , from casino royale to spectre – the film is set to open with a newly retired bond in
wedded bliss
with dr madeleine swann ( lea seydoux ) , his love interest at the end of spectre .
after a deadly flu epidemic kills most of the world’s population , lucky survivors bide their time in hermetically sealed bunkers located 30 feet underground , where they can interact with select others only by sophisticated video conferencing . things start to go haywire in this stable environment after a combative denizen named orlando is banned from his linked community . residents start disappearing or harming themselves , and odd markers ( such as a rat ) hint that these pods aren’t as closed - off as they seem . however , it isn’t until phoenix and denver ( who , improbably , have fallen for each other ) decide to make a run for it that domain’s true mysteries start to reveal themselves . the subsequent unraveling of their situation only creates more questions of what their reality is . suspense - filled and atmospheric—courtesy of an eerie score and a muted color palette—domain raises questions about how well we can really know other people . as the bunker designer nadine puts it at one point : “never underestimate humanity’s capacity to be punitive . ” —a . z .
plot : thirty years after the events of the first film , a new blade runner , lapd officer k , unearths a long - buried secret that has the potential to plunge what ' s left of society into chaos . k ' s discovery leads him on a quest to find rick deckard , a former lapd blade runner who has been missing for 30 years .
still , the film has its sporadic pleasures , mostly provided by bella , who effectively conveys destiny’s enjoyment of her over - the - top murderous and sexy antics , and michael madsen , as lisa’s supportive stepdad . the veteran actor delivers a nicely low - key performance , but you can’t avoid the feeling that he’s merely cashing a paycheck while waiting for quentin tarantino to write him another great role .
the artistic performance of a stage actor is definitely presented to the public by the actor in person ; that of the screen actor , however , is presented by a camera , with a twofold consequence . the camera that presents the performance of the film actor to the public need not respect the performance as an integral whole . guided by the cameraman , the camera continually changes its position with respect to the performance . the sequence of positional views which the editor composes from the material supplied him constitutes the completed film . it comprises certain factors of movement which are in reality those of the camera , not to mention special camera angles , close - ups , etc . hence , the performance of the actor is subjected to a series of optical tests . this is the first consequence of the fact that the actor’s performance is presented by means of a camera . also , the film actor lacks the opportunity of the stage actor to adjust to the audience during his performance , since he does not present his performance to the audience in person . this permits the audience to take the position of a critic , without experiencing any personal contact with the actor . the audience’s identification with the actor is really an identification with the camera . consequently the audience takes the position of the camera ; its approach is that of testing . this is not the approach to which cult values may be exposed .
avid s6 - the latest in high - end control surface technology and our most recent acquisition . the studio is configured as a state - of - the - art multi - purpose setup for 5 . 1 surround sound film mixing , music production and mastering , housing some of the best hardware and software that money can buy . this facility is one of the favourites among our senior bachelor of audio students who often spend hours in the studio perfecting their craft .
around 1900 technical reproduction had reached a standard that not only permitted it to reproduce all transmitted works of art and thus to cause the most profound change in their impact upon the public ; it also had captured a place of its own among the artistic processes . for the study of this standard nothing is more revealing than the nature of the repercussions that these two different manifestations – the reproduction of works of art and the art of the film – have had on art in its traditional form .
as reported by jurassic outpost , nbcuniversal purchased three new web domains on dec . 15 , 2016 . all three domains offer subtle hints at the premise of jurassic world 2 with their names alone : urltoken ( and . org ) , and islanublarrescuemission . com . the former strongly alludes to the presence of some form of “dinosaurs’ rights” group as part of the film , while the latter is a reference to isla nublar , the home of the theme parks depicted in both jurassic world and the original jurassic park .
an outburst of some kind is missed , then , but chiha’s constraint is appropriate to the metaphysical straitjacket this fiercely intelligent woman feels herself to be in , and to her somewhat mute nephew . a deliberate deceleration of pace is carried over even into the black - hole nightclub we repeatedly revisit , where the broiling sea of dancers is mesmerically slowed - down . the pain of the film’s emotional revelations and disappointments is never absent , however , most clearly expressed in the muted desperation of nadia’s fellow residents at an alpine sanatorium .
it’s quite forgivable , therefore , to hope for a dalle explosion – it’s part of her stardom – but chiha’s tone is set by the slightly melancholy , night - time riverside campfire . expression of emotion is subtle and deliberate , the film’s rhythm an almost narcotized blur . episodes repeat themselves in a steady accretion of character , as pierre and nadia walk around paris a lot . for all the frequent moments of apparent inaction , however , the characters are never doing nothing . both dalle and isaïe sultan amply inhabit these moments when chiha allows them ( not so ) simply to be .
the shooting of a film , especially of a sound film , affords a spectacle unimaginable anywhere at any time before this . it presents a process in which it is impossible to assign to a spectator a viewpoint which would exclude from the actual scene such extraneous accessories as camera equipment , lighting machinery , staff assistants , etc . – unless his eye were on a line parallel with the lens . this circumstance , more than any other , renders superficial and insignificant any possible similarity between a scene in the studio and one on the stage . in the theater one is well aware of the place from which the play cannot immediately be detected as illusionary . there is no such place for the movie scene that is being shot . its illusionary nature is that of the second degree , the result of cutting . that is to say , in the studio the mechanical equipment has penetrated so deeply into reality that its pure aspect freed from the foreign substance of equipment is the result of a special procedure , namely , the shooting by the specially adjusted camera and the mounting of the shot together with other similar ones . the equipment - free aspect of reality here has become the height of artifice ; the sight of immediate reality has become an orchid in the land of technology .
the question remains whether it provides a platform for the analysis of the film . a closer look is needed here . distraction and concentration form polar opposites which may be stated as follows : a man who concentrates before a work of art is absorbed by it . he enters into this work of art the way legend tells of the chinese painter when he viewed his finished painting . in contrast , the distracted mass absorbs the work of art . this is most obvious with regard to buildings . architecture has always represented the prototype of a work of art the reception of which is consummated by a collectivity in a state of distraction . the laws of its reception are most instructive .
magician and surgeon compare to painter and cameraman . the painter maintains in his work a natural distance from reality , the cameraman penetrates deeply into its web . there is a tremendous difference between the pictures they obtain . that of the painter is a total one , that of the cameraman consists of multiple fragments which are assembled under a new law . thus , for contemporary man the representation of reality by the film is incomparably more significant than that of the painter , since it offers , precisely because of the thoroughgoing permeation of reality with mechanical equipment , an aspect of reality which is free of all equipment . and that is what one is entitled to ask from a work of art .
one of the foremost tasks of art has always been the creation of a demand which could be fully satisfied only later . the history of every art form shows critical epochs in which a certain art form aspires to effects which could be fully obtained only with a changed technical standard , that is to say , in a new art form . the extravagances and crudities of art which thus appear , particularly in the so - called decadent epochs , actually arise from the nucleus of its richest historical energies . in recent years , such barbarisms were abundant in dadaism . it is only now that its impulse becomes discernible : dadaism attempted to create by pictorial – and literary – means the effects which the public today seeks in the film .
nadia’s relationship with pierre is therefore made obscure and complex . furthermore , she professes a fundamental mistrust of words , and her sometimes - contorted forms of communication are symptomatic of a turning in on oneself , a somewhat frightened self - isolation . pierre meanwhile becomes his own man as it were , taking center stage in his life and in the nightclub , in a sequence that drifts charmingly away from reality . other sequences are piqued by the strange wanderings of background extras , and a dark fairytale notion of being lost in the woods builds as the film’s central metaphor . chiha is unafraid to sink his actors into a soft , dusky murk of underlighting , and the steady understatement builds to a climax of unexpected , sinister cruelty , and literal obscurity . quiet , careful , and rather beguiling .
with the different methods of technical reproduction of a work of art , its fitness for exhibition increased to such an extent that the quantitative shift between its two poles turned into a qualitative transformation of its nature . this is comparable to the situation of the work of art in prehistoric times when , by the absolute emphasis on its cult value , it was , first and foremost , an instrument of magic . only later did it come to be recognized as a work of art . in the same way today , by the absolute emphasis on its exhibition value the work of art becomes a creation with entirely new functions , among which the one we are conscious of , the artistic function , later may be recognized as incidental . this much is certain : today photography and the film are the most serviceable exemplifications of this new function .
it is inherent in the technique of the film as well as that of sports that everybody who witnesses its accomplishments is somewhat of an expert . this is obvious to anyone listening to a group of newspaper boys leaning on their bicycles and discussing the outcome of a bicycle race . it is not for nothing that newspaper publishers arrange races for their delivery boys . these arouse great interest among the participants , for the victor has an opportunity to rise from delivery boy to professional racer . similarly , the newsreel offers everyone the opportunity to rise from passer - by to movie extra . in this way any man might even find himself part of a work of art , as witness vertov’s three songs about lenin or ivens’ borinage . any man today can lay claim to being filmed . this claim can best be elucidated by a comparative look at the historical situation of contemporary literature .
as a mathematician , the beauty of order guides nadia’s life , and its absence frightens her . but the rigidity she seeks in the world is belied by a personal life that is anything but stable . her persistent drinking , at first limited to evenings , turns out to be destructive alcoholism , which pierre comes to understand , then pity , then revile . her musings begin to sound like drunken rants in the light of her uncontrollable and unattractive addiction , and pierre pushes away , accepting the long ignored attention of his peers and embarking on a surprising , love affair with a man , which he neither trumpets nor conceals . however , his turn of heart from love to contempt for his beloved aunt is quick and exaggerated . it leads to a cruel and unexpected ending , which gives the film its first and last infusion of plot - driven drama , but it doesn’t feel warranted against the monotonous landscape of everything that came before it .
by close - ups of the things around us , by focusing on hidden details of familiar objects , by exploring common place milieus under the ingenious guidance of the camera , the film , on the one hand , extends our comprehension of the necessities which rule our lives ; on the other hand , it manages to assure us of an immense and unexpected field of action . our taverns and our metropolitan streets , our offices and furnished rooms , our railroad stations and our factories appeared to have us locked up hopelessly . then came the film and burst this prison - world asunder by the dynamite of the tenth of a second , so that now , in the midst of its far - flung ruins and debris , we calmly and adventurously go traveling . with the close - up , space expands ; with slow motion , movement is extended . the enlargement of a snapshot does not simply render more precise what in any case was visible , though unclear : it reveals entirely new structural formations of the subject . so , too , slow motion not only presents familiar qualities of movement but reveals in them entirely unknown ones “which , far from looking like retarded rapid movements , give the effect of singularly gliding , floating , supernatural motions . ” evidently a different nature opens itself to the camera than opens to the naked eye – if only because an unconsciously penetrated space is substituted for a space consciously explored by man . even if one has a general knowledge of the way people walk , one knows nothing of a person’s posture during the fractional second of a stride . the act of reaching for a lighter or a spoon is familiar routine , yet we hardly know what really goes on between hand and metal , not to mention how this fluctuates with our moods . here the camera intervenes with the resources of its lowerings and liftings , its interruptions and isolations , it extensions and accelerations , its enlargements and reductions . the camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses .
painting simply is in no position to present an object for simultaneous collective experience , as it was possible for architecture at all times , for the epic poem in the past , and for the movie today . although this circumstance in itself should not lead one to conclusions about the social role of painting , it does constitute a serious threat as soon as painting , under special conditions and , as it were , against its nature , is confronted directly by the masses . in the churches and monasteries of the middle ages and at the princely courts up to the end of the eighteenth century , a collective reception of paintings did not occur simultaneously , but by graduated and hierarchized mediation . the change that has come about is an expression of the particular conflict in which painting was implicated by the mechanical reproducibility of paintings . although paintings began to be publicly exhibited in galleries and salons , there was no way for the masses to organize and control themselves in their reception . thus the same public which responds in a progressive manner toward a grotesque film is bound to respond in a reactionary manner to surrealism .
mechanical reproduction of art changes the reaction of the masses toward art . the reactionary attitude toward a picasso painting changes into the progressive reaction toward a chaplin movie . the progressive reaction is characterized by the direct , intimate fusion of visual and emotional enjoyment with the orientation of the expert . such fusion is of great social significance . the greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form , the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public . the conventional is uncritically enjoyed , and the truly new is criticized with aversion . with regard to the screen , the critical and the receptive attitudes of the public coincide . the decisive reason for this is that individual reactions are predetermined by the mass audience response they are about to produce , and this is nowhere more pronounced than in the film . the moment these responses become manifest they control each other . again , the comparison with painting is fruitful . a painting has always had an excellent chance to be viewed by one person or by a few . the simultaneous contemplation of paintings by a large public , such as developed in the nineteenth century , is an early symptom of the crisis of painting , a crisis which was by no means occasioned exclusively by photography but rather in a relatively independent manner by the appeal of art works to the masses .

nadia moves with quick and restless precision , taking her frequent afternoon walks in heels and at a fast clip . she either falls into a brief , intense silence or bursts into sudden sermons on life , philosophy , and mathematics—anything weighty with its own importance . rather than spend time with kids his own age , pierre rings her door after school for their daily promenades . he’s mesmerized and hangs on her words in that very french style of quiet , expressionless acknowledgment . nadia interprets this as insight , and the two become inseparable , falling into a strange relationship somewhere between friendship and attraction . she cuts a strong , self - processed figure in contrast to her sister , pierre’s mother , whose brief appearance suggests a meek and ordinary woman . but pierre also tends to nadia like a child or eager servant , choosing her clothes , washing her feet—enjoying her brief moments of vulnerably .

it ' s steven spielberg vs . the white house in ' the post '
cinema fearité presents ‘the shining’ – the stephen king adaptation that he hates . . . and everyone else loves
it all sounds pretty french : teenage boy falls in love with his older aunt , attractive , smart , and been around the block a few times , as incarnated to perfection by béatrice dalle . the expected dynamic is subverted , however , even obliquely in the opening scene , and the well - worn elements of such a relationship are treated as though anew , with little interest in misplaced teenage priapism .
it’s established swiftly that nadia’s milieu is one of sophisticated , intellectual bohemianism . she is a rather tortured mathematics professor ; pierre is not yet old enough to buy cigarettes . more teasingly established , although he dotes on her as a willing peon , he may not be quite the typical moony teenage boy , with a sexual interest directed elsewhere than his aunt .
