Subject:      Re: Kafka!

"[I]t's been a triumphant year for the Kafkaesque in film, what with *Kafka*,
*Barton Fink*, and *Naked Lunch* gracing the screen..."



Don't forget *Europa, Europa*, which addresses another theme of Kafka's--that
the Jew has to mimic and masquerade in order to "find a way out" (read
"A Report to the Academy."  Kafka's humor is absolutlely brutal because he
portrays the assimulated Jew as an ape!)--and Woody Allen's *Shadows and Fog*
in which the allusions to Kafka are pretty obvious (I wonder why it has taken
Woody so long to read Kafka?   Perhaps he was influenced by Sonderbergh
(spelling) making *Kafka*?

Anyway, I'm convinced that the figure of Franz Kafa is the (postmodern)
hero of the 1990', as his nightmarish labyrinthian worlds have become our
(comic-tragic) reality.

I'm interested in hearing from all you Kafka fans out there!!

Yes, it's available under the title CRIA! -- it's been released
variously as CRIA!, CRIA CUERVOS, RAISING RAVENS, and THE SECRET
OF ANNA.  It won the 1976 Cannes Special Jury Prize and it
undoubtedly available over there, but if by some quirk it
isn't, you can buy it from Movies Unlimited with an
international money order.  But I'm sure it's easily
rentable in the NL.

Subject:      Re: Kafka!

Sysse, EUROPA, EUROPA was directed by the Polish woman director
Agnieska Holland.  I don't know what the title of the movie is in Europe
for sure but I think it was the same.  The film caused a controversy
here in the U.S. because in Germany, the film export union did not consider
the film as being enough German (do I hear echoes of the composer Richard
Wagner's infamous essay "What is German" or what?)--thus the film was
not considered for this year's Oscar's "Best Foreign Film" category.

 The irony of all this is that it was the most money-making German film
in the U.S., easily surpassing the revenue from *Das Boat*, which was
also nixed by the German Export Union in 1982.

I wonder since you haven't  heard of the film at all if it showed in
Denmark (where I assume you are).  It supposedly showed to empty
theaters in Germany.

I'm very interested in the film, as I just recently presented a paper
on the Kafkaesque in Europa, Europa at USC's graduate student literature
and film conference.

Please let me know if you have any infor about the film.

She was also in Guilty by Suspicion.  She played the secretary of the movie
mogul (his name has completely left my mind) who was trying to get DeNiro
to testify so that DeNiro could get back to work.  So that is three movies with
 her and DeNiro.  What is the name of the movie mogul, it's driving me mad!
It ain't Jack Warner and it ain't Louis B. Mayer, who is it?

Subject:      Re: Stone & The Doors

Peter, rereading you few-day-old post on Stone and The Doors, i'm just
amazed . . . Dull? DULL? of all the charges lately levelled gainst Stone,
*this* seems to me the most incomprehensible.  i don't know if you
subscribe to the "Stone the Bludgeoner" school of thought (which i can at
least understand), but one who calls the man a "bludgeoner" at least admits
the *power* in the work simply *in using* such a term . . . Dull? DULL?

A couple of things:  granted i missed the opening of the film up to the
moment when wee Jimmy looks out upon the crashed Indians from the back of
his pa's car, but where was it implied that an Indian shaman "possessed"
we Jimmy's soul . . . it seemed to me that the film simply implied that
as a *visionary*, JM more or less simply connected with the "shaman" (are
we sure that this is the right thing to call the envisioned Indian?) through
an act of imaginative sympathy . . . what makes you think him possessed?

As for Stone "deifying" JM, Morrison and Sixties alternative culture more
than did *that*, my friend, quite on their own; i think that Stone more or
less brilliantly (you see, i'm willing to qualify my praise) *depicted*
Morrison's self-deification, and how Morrison's world *contributed* to that
process, without necessarily adding much to the mystification.  What do you
want? Morrison *not* to be a pop icon after the film.  The iconization of
Morrison ain't that easily agonna go away, and i think that it is to Stone's
credit that he includes *this* element, along with the others . . .

i forget who posted in amazement at my use of the word subtle in respect to
Stone (ok, maybe i *was* exaggerating a wee bit to make my point), but here's
a general psychological observation for all:

Stone appears to be one of those figures that some people just love to hate.
Now don't get me wrong, i've such figures of my own, i just find it useful
to ask myself what it is about *me* that loves to hate them, rather than
simply wallow in that hatred . . . of course, i often fail to live up to
this ideal (smiley face virtually inserted here)

night,
MM

I saw GREED (the version you saw) years ago when I was in college and
remember being really impressed with it, so much so that I ran out and
read McTEAGUE, by Frank Norris, the novel on which it is based.  If
you haven't read it, put it on your list of marvelous American

would be vastly improved without commercials).

While we're on the subject, it seems to me that I read several in sources that
the only reason that the director (no names, please) of Godfather III only did
the third rendition because he needed the money. Seems his lifestyle needed to
be maintained. Furthermore, I recall, G-Father III was also financially--as
well as career boosting--rewarding for several of the director's family.

Sam Kinison was indeed killed in an automobile accident last week returning

His brand of humor did not appeal to me but my daughter thought he was great!
Takes all kinds and I do appreciate the variety of humor available - something
for everyone - and necessary in today's world. I'm sure Kinison will be
missed.He was young and just developing his "philosophy".

While I realise that most commercials don't fall under the category of
"Cinema Ver-ih-tay", we had someone ask what brand of detergent was being
advertised in the spot that depicts a guy picking up his clothes from a
Chinese laundromat. When the guy asks how they get his clothes so white, the
owner says that it's an ancient Chinese secret.  After the customer leaves, the
owner's wife shows the detergent and says, "Ancient Chinese secret, huh?"

One opinion says it was Calgon as in "Calgon, take me away" Calgon.  Others say
that it was for tide.  Others have said it was for bleach and not soap.  Any
definitive guesses out there?

A few comments on today's postings:

Movies Unlimited (800-523-0823) has VHS copies of Murnau's FAUST for
$29.99, and of Welles' THE TRIAL for $19.99.

1/2" Heaven (800-788-7858) now has VHS of GASLIGHT -- the original ver-
sion, with Anton Walbrook as the husband (1939).  MGM tried to destroy
this British film when they released their remake in 1944, with Charles
Boyer and Ingrid Bergman.  The original is better, and 1/2" Heaven's
version is of good quality.  We found it hard to see Walbrook as a vil-
lain, however, after recently viewing him in Criterion's restoration of
THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP.

ZENTROPA has to be seen to be believed.  We're going to have it in the
fall as part of the Riverside (Ca.) Film Festival, in part just for the
fun of watching the faces of the audience as they leave.
