Passage 3:
Herbert Wilcox
Herbert Sydney Wilcox  CBE (19 April 1890 – 15 May 1977) was a British film producer and director  
He was one of the most successful British filmmakers from the 1920s to the 1950s  He is best known for the films he made with his third wife Anna Neagle 

Early life
Wilcox's mother was from County Cork, Ireland, and Wilcox considered himself Irish, but he was born in Norwood, south London  His family moved to Brighton when Wilcox was eight years old; he was one of five children 
His family were poor and Wilcox had to do a number of part-time jobs, including some work as a chorus boy at the local Hippodrome  His mother died of tuberculosis when she was 42  Wilcox left school before the age of fourteen to find work  Shortly afterwards, his father died at the age of 42  Wilcox began earning money as a professional pool player at the Metropole in Camberwell Green 
The First World War broke out and Wilcox enlisted in the army  He was training cadets in County Cork when the Easter Rising broke out in 1916 and Wilcox was wounded  He then enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps to earn more money and trained as a pilot  A case of appendicitis kept him away from the front for a time but he wound up serving in France and serving as a flight instructor in England 

Film career
After the war, Wilcox went to work for his brother Charles as a film salesman  He began selling American films to Yorkshire exhibitors, occasionally working with Victor Saville 

Astra Films
In 1919, Wilcox used his war gratuity to found his own distribution company, Astra Films, in association with his brother and a colleague, Jack Smart  Wilcox contributed £117, and the others made up the rest  It was based in Yorkshire  "Owing to the war, there were practically no British productions", said Wilcox  "They were almost all American films " The company was immediately successful so they expanded into London 

Graham-Wilcox Productions
Astra had a lot of success with a British film, A Peep Behind the Scenes (1919) so Wilcox decided to produce a British film himself  He raised £1,400 to make The Wonderful Story (1922)  It was directed by a Newcastle exhibitor who shared Wilcox's enthusiasm for D  W  Griffith, Jack Graham Cutts; he and Wilcox established Graham-Wilcox Productions  Wilcox sold the film for £4,000 and the premiere got excellent reviews  This enabled Wilcox to raise funds for a slate of films, before The Wonderful Story was released and flopped at the box office However the next Graham-Wilcox production, Flames of Passion (1922), starring imported Hollywood star Mae Marsh was a big hit, among the first British films sold to the USA  The success of the film inspired Wilcox to steer away from realistic drama and focus on escapist entertainment 

Director
Wilcox optioned the screen rights for Chu-Chin-Chow (1923), with imported American star Betty Blythe   The film was shot in Germany at UFA's studios in association with Eric Pommer with a huge budget but was only a moderate success  He followed it with Southern Love (1924), shot in Vienna, again with Blythe  Wilcox launched the film with a mock bull fight in Albert Hall and says the film returned a profit in England alone Pommer asked Wilcox to collaborate again and they made Decameron Nights (1924) 
Back in Britain he made Paddy the Next Best Thing (1923) 
After what he described as a "series of unimpressive films" he made The Only Way (1926), based on a stage play which was based on A Tale of Two Cities He followed it with Nell Gwyn (1926), starring Dorothy Gish in the title role  This was a big success around the world 

British National Films
The world rights to Nell Gwyn were purchased by British National Films, a company established by J D  Williams, who signed Wilcox and Gish to make three more films, all financed by Paramount:  Madame Pompadour (1926), the first film shot at the newly built Elstree Studios; London (1926); and Tip Toes (1927)  It was later revealed in a court case that Wilcox's fee was £3,000 a film plus 25% of the profits, but there were no profits for the three films 

British and Dominions Film Corporation
Wilcox ended up leaving British National and founded the British and Dominions Film Corporation with Nelson Keys with capital of half a million pounds  HIs first film for them, via Herbert Wilcox Productions, was Mumsie (1927), starring Pauline Frederick and, in his debut, Herbert Marshall 
Wilcox wanted to make another film with Frederick and suggested Noël Coward's The Vortex but Frederick disliked the role  Wilcox instead decided to do a version of the Edith Cavell story, Dawn (1928)  Frederick dropped out of the film, and was replaced by Sybil Thorndike  Filming proved difficult but the resulting movie was a big hit  In 1928 British and Dominion Films insured Wilcox for £100,000 There was some talk he would make a film of the Burke and Wills story  Instead he made what he described as "a series of unimportant but profitable films": The Bondman (1929), The Woman in White (1929),

Sound Films
Generally, Alfred Hitchcock's Blackmail is regarded as the first film with sound, but Wilcox's Black Waters was trade-shown several weeks earlier in May, 1929 He produced more than a hundred films, of which he directed about half   "His film production team were never laid off, even during the worst depressions of the British film industry  They were on full salary 52 weeks of the year "Wilcox built and equipped sound studios next to the British International Pictures studios, which they bought from John Maxwell  Wilcox signed up top stage artists such as Jack Buchanan, Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn and Sydney Howard, with C B  Cochran and Albert de Courville as producers  He announced plans to make nine talkies He produced and directed the first British all talkie ever made, Wolves (1930), with Charles Laughton and Dorothy Gish and produced Canaries Sometimes Sing (1930) He made an arrangement to produce a series of films in association with His Master's Voice gramophone company, with the aim of using their celebrity recording stars  Among the films they were to make together were Cochran's Talkie Revue, a film of C B Cochran's variety show; the play Rookery Nook; an adaptation of the novel The Blue Lagoon, and the life story of Robert Burns However their first movie, The Loves of Robert Burns (1930), with Joseph Hislop, was not a success and the arrangement abruptly ended  Wilcox's plans to make The Life of Beethoven and a version of Don Quixote starring Chaliapin had to be cancelled Wilcox produced Rookery Nook (1930), an Aldwych farce based on the play by Ben Travers and directed by Tom Walls  It led to a series of Aldwych farces from Travers and Walls 
He acted as producer only on  Splinters (1930), high Treason (1930, The Mountain of Mourne (1930), Warned Off (1930), On Approval (1930), Tons of Money (1930), Mischief (1931), The Speckled Band (1931), Plunder (1931), Almost a Divorce (1931), Up for the Cup (1931) with Sydney Howard, The Barton Mystery (1932), Life Goes On (1932), Thark (1932), Leap Year (1932), It's a King (1932),The Love Contract (1932), Say It with Music(1932),  The Mayor's Nest (1932), and A Night Like This (1932) 
As a director he made The Chance of a Night Time (1931) with Ralph Lynn from a play by Ben Travers; Carnival (1931); and The Blue Danube (1933) 

Anna Neagle
Wilcox's professional relationship with Anna Neagle began when he was looking for a leading lady to support Jack Buchanan in Goodnight, Vienna (1932)  He decided to cast her after seeing Neagle support Buchanan on stage in a musical Stand Up and Cheer  Goodnight Vienna was Wilcox's biggest success to that time He used Neagle again in The Flag Lieutenant (1932)
He made some films without her – Money Means Nothing (1932), The King's Cup (1933), General John Regan (1933), The Blarney Stone (1933), The King of Paris (1933), Lord of the Manor (1933), Discord (1933) – then they were reunited on The Little Damozel (1933), a conscious effort on Wilcox's part to ensure that Neagle was not type cast as an "English Rose" He bought the rights to a John Galsworthy play Loyalties and developed a screenplay  He later sold it to William Fox for a profit  He produced That's a Good Girl (1933) 
Bitter Sweet (1933) starred Neagle, based on the operetta by Noël Coward  It was a box office failure Yes, Mr Brown (1933) was a vehicle for Jack Buchanan and Lilies of the Field (1934) without her  Wilcox was back to Neagle for The Queen's Affair (1934)  He and Neagle had a big hit with a new version of Nell Gwynn (1934)  They followed it with Peg of Old Drury (1935) 
He also produced Escape Me Never (1935), starring Elisabeth Bergner, which was a surprise box office hit 

Herbert Wilcox Productions
The success of Peg of Old Drury saw Wilcox approached by Lord Portal to set up his own company, Herbert Wilcox Productions  Wilcox resigned from British Dominion, and set up the new company with C M  Woolf and J  Arthur Rank  The only other shareholders in the company apart from Wilcox were Woolf and his brother Maurice 
Wilcox, Woolf, Portal and Rank soon established themselves as a major player in the industry by buying Universal Pictures' English operations; Wilcox was appointed to the board to directors of Universal English and the Universal American parent company  He also had shares in a new company, General Cinema Finance, which was to control the distribution and production of films and acquire cinemas  This company would go on to acquire Gaumont British and the Odeon circuit and form the back bone of the Rank Film empire Their first film was Street Singer Serenade (1936), aka Limelight, directed by Wilcox with Neagle and Jack Buchanan  It was followed by Fame (1936), which he produced, starring Sydney Howard and new Wilcox discovers Miki Hood and Geraldine Hislop  He and Neagle did a story about trapeze artists, Three Maxims (1936) He made Where's George? (1936) with Sydney Howard 
Wilcox was back with Buchanan with This'll Make You Whistle (1936)  He wanted to make an epic version of The Blue Lagoon with Hollywood stars to be shot mostly on location in Hawaii and a biopic of Lady Hamilton with Neagle but neither was made  Instead he made Millions (1937) 
Wilcox's film studio at Elstree burnt down and Wilcox moved to new studios at Pinewood  There he made London Melody (1937) with Neagle 

RKO
Wilcox wanted to star Neagle in a biopic of Queen Victoria  Woolf refused to finance it, believing it to be a bad investment, so Wilcox raised the bulk of the finance himself  Wilcox invested his entire savings and Neagle put in £10,000  They secured a distribution agreement with RKO  Victoria the Great (1937) was a massive success and led to Wilcox signing a ten-year deal with RKO to help finance and distribute the films He and Neagle promptly made a sequel, Sixty Glorious Years (1938)  Wilcox produced but did not direct A Royal Divorce (1938) starring Ruth Chatterton  Wilcox announced he would make a biopic of Lord Kitchener but the film was never made 

Hollywood
He and Neagle went to the US to work for RKO  They looked into making a biopic of Marie Lloyd but could not find a suitable co-star for Neagle so instead made another biopic, Nurse Edith Cavell (1939)  They were going to follow it with a biopic of Flora MacDonald filmed in Scotland but the declaration of war made that impossible  Instead they made three musicals: Irene (1940), with Ray Milland; No, No, Nanette (1940), with Victor Mature; and Sunny (1941) with Ray Bolger  They were among the many names who worked on Forever and a Day (1943) 
In July 1941, Wilcox and Neagle returned to England to make They Flew Alone (1942) a biopic of Amy Johnson and the war thriller Yellow Canary (1943) 

The London Films
Wilcox and Neagle had a big hit with I Live in Grosvenor Square (1945), co starring Rex Harrison and Dean Jagger  They followed it with Piccadilly Incident (1946), starring Neagle and Michael Wilding, which was even more popular, the second biggest British hit of 1946  Wilcox signed Wilding to a long-term contract 
The Courtneys of Curzon Street (1947) was the most popular film at the British box office in 1947  Another hit was Spring in Park Lane (1948) 
Wilding was not in their next film, Elizabeth of Ladymead (1948) but returned for Maytime in Mayfair (1949), a sequel to Spring in Park Lane, and another massive success 
Wilcox and Neagle returned to war stories with Odette (1950) a biopic of Odette Samson starring Neagle and Trevor Howard, and Wilcox's most profitable movie to date  He planned to make a biopic about Van Gogh starring Trevor Howard, but it was never made Wilcox made a film without Neagle, Into the Blue (1950), with Wilding and Odile Versois; it was not particularly popular  Neagle and Wilding were reunited for The Lady with a Lamp (1951), a biopic of Florence Nightingale and Derby Day (1952), an ensemble film  Both did well at the box office but not as well as the late 40s films 

Margaret Lockwood and Republic Pictures
In the early 1950s Neagle had a long running stage hit, The Glorious Years  In November 1951 Wilcox signed a multi picture deal with Margaret Lockwood to make six films in three years  The following year he signed a six-picture deal with Republic Films 
The first movie Lockwood-Wilcox film, Trent's Last Case (1952) was a solid success, helped by a cast including Wilding and Orson Welles  However Laughing Anne (1953), co-starring Forrest Tucker and Wendell Corey, and Trouble in the Glen (1954), with Welles, did poorly and he made no further films with Lockwood or Republic 
Wilcox was further hurt when a film he produced, The Beggar's Opera (1953), was a box office disaster 

Errol Flynn and Ivor Novello
Wilcox formed a new production company, Everest, and made two musicals with Neagle and Errol Flynn: Lilacs in the Spring (1954), based on The Glorious Years, and King's Rhapsody (1955), based on a musical by Ivor Novello  Both flopped and plans to make a third Novello film, Perchance to Dream did not happen 

Last films
Wilcox had a hit with My Teenage Daughter (1956), a story of Neagle dealing with a juvenile delinquent daughter played by Sylvia Syms  Less successful was These Dangerous Years (1957), produced by Neagle and directed by Wilcox, starring George Baker and Frankie Vaughan, and no Neagle 
He produced but did not direct a war film,  Yangtse Incident (1957), which performed reasonably well at the British box office but ultimately lost money  Wilcox found himself personally liable for some of the film's costs 
He tried a drama with Neagle, The Man Who Wouldn't Talk (1958), and three films with Vaughan: Wonderful Things! (1958), The Heart of a Man (1959), and The Lady Is a Square (1959) 

Bankruptcy
Wilcox was plagued with financial troubles in the 1950s and 1960s  He missed an early opportunity to invest in television; Anna Neagle's chain of dancing schools failed; he and Neagle invested heavily in British Lion shares and the company went into receivership; he borrowed £341,000 from the Edgware Trust; he and Neagle had guaranteed a £75,000 loan to make the two Errol Flynn films; and he paid £100,000 to Terence Rattigan for the film rights to his play Ross only for him to be unable to get it made   His film company failed in the 1960s  He spent two years trying to make a film about King Edward VII but the Queen refused permission  He was declared bankrupt in 1964, owing £16,000 to the Edgware Trust and £134,313 over all However, the musical play Charlie Girl, starring his wife Anna Neagle, ran for five years and resolved this financial situation Wilcox made some money from writing articles and was discharged as a bankrupt in 1966 after paying about 4 1/2 d in the pound to creditors According to one profile "The conventional view of Wilcox is that, despite his eventual bankruptcy, his considerable entrepreneurial skills enabled him to sustain a continued presence over a long period in a notoriously unstable industry; discussion of his directorial qualities usually acknowledges his professionalism but falls short of crediting him with any authorial status "

Personal life
In June 1917, Herbert Wilcox was granted a divorce from his first wife Dorothy, whom he had married on 2 December 1916 at St Luke's (CoE), Brighton   At the time, Herbert Wilcox was a lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps   His wife was "carrying on a disgraceful intrigue" with an also-married Mr  Stanley Steel   The jury awarded Wilcox damages, possibly shared with Mrs Steel, of £750 plus costs In 1920, Wilcox married Maude Bower; they had four children together  Wilcox married his third wife, actress Anna Neagle, on 9 August 1943  The couple remained married until Wilcox's death in 1977, but they had no children 
Prior to his death at the age of 87 in London, England after a long illness, Wilcox donated four Daily Mail National Film Awards to the Glebelands Retirement Home in Wokingham 
Wilcox is buried in the City of London Cemetery 

Awards
In 1937, the Wilcox film Victoria the Great was nominated for the Mussolini Cup at the Venice Film Festival, but lost out to the French film Life Dances On (Un carnet de bal)  Wilcox lost the Festival's Best Director award to Robert J  Flaherty and Zoltán Korda for Elephant Boy  However, Victoria the Great and Wilcox won the Festival's Nations Cup for "Best World Premiere"

Passage 5:
London Melody
London Melody is a 1937 British musical film directed by Herbert Wilcox and starring Anna Neagle, Tullio Carminati and Robert Douglas  It was made at British and Dominions Imperial Studios, Elstree and Pinewood Studios  by Wilcox's independent production company and distributed by J  Arthur Rank's General Film Distributors  It was also released with the alternative title Look Out for Love 
It was the first movie shot at Pinewood 

Synopsis and production
A musical with a trial  One of several Anna Neagle - Tullio Carminati vehicles of the era, London Melody was one of five films directed within a year or so by Neagle's future husband, Herbert Wilcox  This time around, Carminatti is cast as Marius Andreani, a cultured Italian diplomat  While in London on business, Marius makes the chance acquaintance of boisterous cockney street entertainer Jacqueline (Neagle)  It is love at first sight, but hero and heroine must undergo a dizzying series of roadblocks and misunderstandings before the climactic clinch  Meanwhile, Jacqueline rises to the top of show-business success, never dreaming (until the end, at least) that it is all the secret handiwork of faithful Marius 
British and Dominions Imperial Studios was destroyed by fire in the early morning of 9 February 1936, necessitating the move of the production to Pinewood 

Cast
Critical reception
In 1937, The Sydney Morning Herald called it an "attractive and well-acted picture   Produced and directed by Herbert Wilcox in a way that contrasts favourably with Hollywood's efforts in a similar direction   Anna Neagle, a gifted actress, with definite charm and personality, makes a delightful Jacqueline  As the diplomat   Tulllo Carminati lends distinction and poise to his role  Perhaps the best character in the film is the priest, Horace Hodges, a lovable and very human person  Robert Douglas makes a good impression in the rather inconsistent part of Nigel Taplow, Andreani's secretary"; whereas more recently, Sky Movies described it as "a very thin musical vehicle for Anna Neagle, bizarrely cast as a cockney street singer  This dated offering   will prove tough going for all but hardened Neagle fans today "

Querelle
Querelle is a 1982 West German-French English-language arthouse film directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and starring Brad Davis, adapted from French author Jean Genet's 1947 novel Querelle of Brest  It was Fassbinder's last film, released shortly after his death at the age of 37 

Plot
The plot centers on the handsome Belgian sailor Georges Querelle, who is also a thief and murderer  When his ship, Le Vengeur, arrives in Brest, he visits the Feria, a bar and brothel for sailors run by the Madame Lysiane, whose lover, Robert, is Querelle's brother  Querelle has a love/hate relationship with his brother: when they meet at La Feria, they embrace, but also punch one another slowly and repeatedly in the belly  Lysiane's husband Nono works behind the bar and also manages La Feria's underhanded affairs with the assistance of his friend, the corrupt police captain Mario 
Querelle makes a deal to sell opium to Nono  During the execution of the deal, he murders his accomplice Vic by slitting his throat   After delivering the drugs, Querelle announces that he wants to sleep with Lysiane   He knows that this means he will have to throw dice with Nono, who has the privilege of playing a game of chance with all of her prospective lovers  If Nono loses, the suitor is allowed to proceed with his affair  If the suitor loses, however, he must submit to anal sex with Nono first, according to Nono's maxim that "That way, I can say my wife only sleeps with arseholes " Querelle deliberately loses the game, allowing himself to be sodomized by Nono  When Nono gloats about Querelle's "loss" to Robert, who won his dice game, the brothers end up in a violent fight   Later, Querelle becomes Lysiane's lover, and also has sex with Mario 
Luckily for Querelle, a builder, Gil, murders his work mate Theo, who had been harassing and sexually assaulting him   Gil hides from the police in an abandoned prison, and Roger, who is in love with Gil, establishes contact between Querelle and Gil in the hopes that Querelle can help Gil flee  Querelle falls in love with Gil, who closely resembles his brother   Gil returns his affections, but Querelle betrays Gil by tipping off the police  Querelle cleverly arranged it so that the murder of Vic is also blamed on Gil 
Querelle's superior, Lieutenant Seblon, is in love with Querelle, and constantly tries to prove his manliness to him  Seblon is aware that Querelle murdered Vic, but chooses to protect him   Later, Seblon reveals his love and concern to a drunken Querelle, and they kiss and embrace before returning to Le Vengeur

Production
According to Genet's biographer Edmund White, Querelle was originally going to be made by Werner Schroeter, with a scenario by Burkhard Driest, and produced by Dieter Schidor  However, Schidor could not find the money to finance a film by Schroeter, and therefore turned to other directors, including John Schlesinger and Sam Peckinpah, before finally settling on Fassbinder  Driest wrote a radically different script for Fassbinder, who then "took the linear narrative and jumbled it up"  White quotes Schidor as saying "Fassbinder did something totally different, he took the words of Genet and tried to meditate on something other than the story  The story became totally unimportant for him  He also said publicly that the story was a sort of third-rate police story that wouldn't be worth making a movie about without putting a particular moral impact into it" Schroeter had wanted to make a black and white film with amateur actors and location shots, but Fassbinder instead shot it with professional actors in a lurid, expressionist color, and on sets in the studio  Edmund White comments that the result is a film in which, "Everything is bathed in an artificial light and the architectural elements are all symbolic "

Soundtrack
Jeanne Moreau – "Each Man Kills the Things He Loves" (music by Peer Raben, lyrics from Oscar Wilde's poem "The Ballad of Reading Gaol")
"Young and Joyful Bandit" (Music by Peer Raben, lyrics by Jeanne Moreau)Both songs were nominated to the 1984 Razzie Awards for "Worst Original Song" 

Release
Querelle sold more than 100,000 tickets in the first three weeks after its release in Paris, the first time that a film with a gay theme had achieved such success  On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, which categorizes reviews as positive or negative only, the film has an approval rating of 57% calculated based on 14 critics comments  By comparison, with the same opinions being calculated using a weighted arithmetic mean, the rating is 6 10/10  Writing for The New York Times critic Vincent Canby noted that Querelle was "a mess   a detour that leads to a dead end "
Penny Ashbrook calls Querelle Fassbinder's "perfect epitaph: an intensely personal statement that is the most uncompromising portrayal of gay male sensibility to come from a major filmmaker " Edmund White considers Querelle the only film based on Genet's book that works, calling it "visually as artificial and menacing as Genet's prose " Genet, in discussion with Schidor, said that he had not seen the film, commenting "You can't smoke at the movies "
Passage 8:
Claude Chabrol
Claude Henri Jean Chabrol (French: [klod ʃabʁɔl]; 24 June 1930 – 12 September 2010) was a French film director and a member of the French New Wave (nouvelle vague) group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s  Like his colleagues and contemporaries Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Chabrol was a critic for the influential film magazine Cahiers du cinéma before beginning his career as a film maker 
Chabrol's career began with Le Beau Serge (1958), inspired by Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943)  Thrillers became something of a trademark for Chabrol, with an approach characterized by a distanced objectivity  This is especially apparent in Les Biches (1968), La Femme infidèle (1969), and Le Boucher (1970) – all featuring Stéphane Audran, who was his wife at the time 
Sometimes characterized as a "mainstream" New Wave director, Chabrol remained prolific and popular throughout his half-century career  In 1978, he cast Isabelle Huppert as the lead in Violette Nozière  On the strength of that effort, the pair went on to others including the successful Madame Bovary (1991) and La Cérémonie (1995)  Film critic John Russell Taylor has stated that "there are few directors whose films are more difficult to explain or evoke on paper, if only because so much of the overall effect turns on Chabrol's sheer hedonistic relish for the medium   Some of his films become almost private jokes, made to amuse himself " James Monaco has called Chabrol "the craftsman par excellence of the New Wave, and his variations upon a theme give us an understanding of the explicitness and precision of the language of the film that we don't get from the more varied experiments in genre of Truffaut or Godard "

Life and career
Early life
Claude Henri Jean Chabrol was born on 24 June 1930 to Yves Chabrol and Madeleine Delarbre in Paris and grew up in Sardent, France, a village in the region of Creuse 400 km (240 miles) south of Paris  Chabrol said that he always thought of himself as a country person, and never as a Parisian  Both Chabrol's father and grandfather had been pharmacists, and Chabrol was expected to follow in the family business  But as a child, Chabrol was "seized by the demon of cinema" and ran a film club in a barn in Sardent between the ages of 12 and 14  It was at this time that he developed his passion for the thriller genre, detective stories and other forms of popular fiction 

Early years in Paris
After World War II, Chabrol moved to Paris to study pharmacology and literature at the Sorbonne, where he received a licence en lettres  Some biographies also state that he briefly studied law and political science at the École Libre des Sciences Politiques  While living in Paris Chabrol became involved with the postwar cine club culture and frequented Henri Langlois's Cinémathèque Française and the Ciné-Club du Quartier Latin, where he first met Éric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette, Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut and other future Cahiers du Cinéma journalists and French New Wave filmmakers  After graduating, Chabrol served his mandatory military service in the French Medical Corps, serving in Germany and reaching the rank of sergeant  Chabrol has said that while in the army he worked as a film projectionist  After he was discharged from the army, he joined his friends as a staff writer for Cahiers du Cinéma, who were challenging then-contemporary French films and championing the concept of Auteur theory  As a film critic, Chabrol advocated realism both morally and aesthetically, mise-en-scene, and deep focus cinematography, which he wrote "brings the spectator in closer with the image" and encourages "both a more active mental attitude on the part of the spectator and a more positive contribution on his part to the action in progress " He also wrote for Arts magazine during this period  Among Chabrol's most famous articles were "Little Themes", a study of genre films, and "The Evolution of Detective Films" In 1955 Chabrol was briefly employed as a publicity man at the French offices of 20th Century Fox, but was told that he was "the worst press officer they'd ever seen" and was replaced by Jean-Luc Godard, who they said was even worse  In 1956 he helped finance Jacques Rivette's short film Le coup du berger, and later helped finance Rohmer's short Véronique et son cancre in 1958  Unlike all of his future New Wave contemporaries, Chabrol never made short film nor did he work as an assistant on other directors' work before making his feature film debut  In 1957 Chabrol and Eric Rohmer co-wrote Hitchcock (Paris: Éditions Universitaires, 1957), a study of the films made by director Alfred Hitchcock through the film The Wrong Man  Chabrol had said that Rohmer deserves the majority of the credit for the book, while he mainly worked on the sections pertaining to Hitchcock's early American films, Rebecca, Notorious, and Stage Fright  Chabrol had interviewed Hitchcock with François Truffaut in 1954 on the set of To Catch a Thief, where the two famously walked into a water tank after being starstruck by Hitchcock  Years later, when Chabrol and Truffaut had both become successful directors themselves, Hitchcock told Truffaut that he always thought of them when he saw "ice cubes in a glass of whiskey "

1957–67: Early film career
The most prolific of the major New Wave directors, Chabrol averaged almost one film a year from 1958 until his death  His early films (roughly 1958–1963) are usually categorized as part of the New Wave and generally have the experimental qualities associated with the movement; while his later early films are usually categorized as being intentionally commercial and far less experimental  In the mid-sixties it was difficult for Chabrol to obtain financing for films so he made a series of commercial "potboilers" and spy spoofs, which none of the other New Wave filmmakers did Chabrol had married Agnès Goute in 1952 and in 1957 his wife inherited a large sum of money from relatives  In December of that year Chabrol used the money to make his feature directorial debut with Le Beau Serge  Chabrol spent three months shooting in his hometown of Sardent using a small crew and little known actors  The film's budget was $85,000  The film starred Jean-Claude Brialy as François and Gérard Blain as Serge, two childhood friends reunited when the recent medical school graduate François returns to Sardent and discovers that Serge has become an alcoholic after the stillbirth of his physically retarded first child  Despite suffering from tuberculosis, François drags Serge through a snowstorm to witness the birth of his second child, thus giving Serge a reason to live while killing himself in the process  Le Beau Serge is considered the inaugural film of the French New Wave Film movement that would peak between 1959 and 1962  Chabrol was the first of his friends to complete a feature film (although Jacques Rivette had already begun filming his first feature Paris nous appartient), and it immediately received critical praise and was a box office success  It won the Grand Prix at the Locarno Film Festival and the Prix Jean Vigo  Critics noticed similarities to Hitchcock's films, such as the motifs of doubling and re-occurrences and the "Catholic guilt transference" that Chabrol had also written about extensively in his and Rohmer's book the year earlier  Chabrol stated that he made the film as a "farewell to Catholicism", and many critics have called his first film vastly different from any of his subsequent films Chabrol quickly followed this success up with Les Cousins in 1958  The film is a companion piece and a reversal to Le Beau Serge in many ways, such as having the responsible student Brialy now play the decadent and insensitive Paul while the reckless Blain now plays the hard-working law student Charles  In this film, the country cousin Charles arrives in the big city of Paris to live with his corrupt cousin Paul while attending school  This was the first of many Chabrol films to include characters named Paul and Charles, and later films would often include a female named Hélène  More so than his first film, Les Cousins features many characteristics that would be seen as "Chabrolian", including the Hitchcock influence, a depiction of the French bourgeoisie, characters with ambiguous motives and a murder  It was also Chabrol's first film co-written with his longtime collaborator Paul Gégauff, of whom Chabrol once said "when I want cruelty, I go off and look for Gégauff  Paul is very good at gingering things up   He can make a character look absolutely ridiculous and hateful in two seconds flat " Les Cousins was another box office success in France and won the Golden Bear at the 9th Berlin International Film Festival Chabrol formed his own production company AJYM Productions (acronym based on the initials of his wife's and children's names) at the time of making Le Beau Serge   After the success of Le Beau Serge and Les Cousins, Chabrol began funding many of the films of his friends  AJYM helped fund Eric Rohmer's feature debut The Sign of Leo, partially funded Rivette's Paris nous appartient, and Philippe de Broca's films Les Jeux de l'amour and Le farceur  He also donated excess film stock from Les Cousins to Rivette to complete Paris nous appartient  Chabrol was also a technical advisor on Jean-Luc Godard's feature debut Breathless and acted in small parts in many of his friends' and his own early films  For his support to the early careers of so many of his friends, Chabrol has been referred to as "the godfather of the French New Wave", although many film histories tend to overlook this contribution and dismiss Chabrol altogether After two box office hits in a row, Chabrol was given a big budget to make his first color film, À double tour (Léda) in the spring of 1959  The film stars Jean-Paul Belmondo as Laszlo and Antonella Lualdi as Léda, two outsiders of a bourgeois family who experience different results when attempting to enter that family  Chabrol adapted the script with Paul Gégauff from a novel by Stanley Ellin, and the film is known for its oedipal sex triangle and murder scenario  The film was shot on location in Aix-en-Provence with cinematographer Henri Decaë and includes choppy, hand-held camera footage that is atypical of a Chabrol film despite being present in many of the New Wave films made at the same time  The film was both a box office and critical disappointment, and critic Roy Armes criticized "Chabrol's lack of feeling for his characters and love of overacting "In 1960 Chabrol made what is considered by many critics as his best early film, Les Bonnes Femmes  The film stars Bernadette Lafont, Clotilde Joano, Stéphane Audran and Lucile Saint-Simon as four Parisian appliance store employees who all dream of an escape from their mediocre lives, and the different outcomes for each girl  Most critics praised the film, such as Robin Wood and James Monaco  However some left-wing critics disliked Chabrol's depiction of working-class people and accused him of making fun of their lifestyles  The film was another box office disappointment for Chabrol  It was followed with two films that were also financially unsuccessful and which Chabrol has admitted to making purely for "commercial reasons"  Les Godelureaux was made in 1960 and hated by Chabrol  The Third Lover (L'Œil du Malin), released in 1961, received better reviews than Chabrol's previous films, with critics pointing out that the films that Chabrol wrote without Paul Gégauff were much more compassionate and realistic than the ones with Gégauff  It was shot on location in Munich  Although she had appeared in supporting roles in several Chabrol films before, The Third Lover was the first Chabrol film in which Stéphane Audran appeared as the female lead  They later married in 1964 and worked together until the late 1970s In 1962 Chabrol made Ophelia, a loose adaptation of Hamlet that was another box office disappointment  Later that year he had a minor hit film with Landru, written by Françoise Sagan and starring Charles Denner, Michèle Morgan, Danielle Darrieux and Hildegard Knef  The film depicts the famous French serial killer Henri Désiré Landru, a story that had previously inspired Charlie Chaplin's film Monsieur Verdoux From 1964 to 1967 Chabrol made six films and one short that were critically and commercially disastrous, and this period is considered a low point of his career  Four of these films were in the then-popular genre of spy spoof films, including Le Tigre aime la chair fraiche and Le Tigre se parfume à la dynamite  Chabrol had said that "I like to get to the absolute limit of principles   In drivel like the Tiger series I really wanted to get the full extent of the drivel  They were drivel, so OK, let's get into it up to our necks " During this period a Variety headline read "Vital To Keep Making Pictures, and What Sort Not Relevant; Chabrol No 'Doctrinaire' Type " In 1965 Chabrol also contributed to the New Wave portmanteau film Six in Paris with the segment "La Muette"  Chabrol co-starred with Stéphane Audran as a middle aged couple dealing with their rebellious teenage daughter  In 1964 Chabrol also directed a stage production of MacBeth for the Théâtre Récamier 

1968–78: "Golden Era"
In 1968 Chabrol began working with film producer André Génovès and started to make more critically acclaimed films that would later be considered his "Golden Era"  Most of these films revolved around themes of bourgeois characters and a murder is almost always part of the plot  Unlike his earlier films, most of these films centered around middle aged people  Chabrol often worked with the same people during this period including actors Audran and Michel Bouquet, cinematographer Jean Rabier, editor Jacques Gaillard, sound technician Guy Chichignoud, composer Pierre Jansen, set designer Guy Littaye, as well as producer Génovés and co-writer Paul Gégauff In 1968 Chabrol made Les Biches, one of his most acclaimed works  The film stars Stéphane Audran as the dominant and bisexual Frédérique, who finds a young protege in the bisexual Why (Jacqueline Sassard), until they both become the lover of a young architect named Paul (Jean-Louis Trintignant)  Why ends up killing Frédérique, but it is unclear whether she murdered her cheating lover or the person that her lover was cheating with  The film received critical praise and was a box office hit  Chabrol followed this with a similar film The Unfaithful Wife (La Femme infidèle), in which a husband named Charles murders the lover of his cheating wife  It was later remade in 2002 by director Adrian Lyne  Chabrol finished the decade with This Man Must Die (Que la bête meure) in 1969  Based on an original story by Cecil Day-Lewis, in the film Charles (Michel Duchaussoy) plots to kill Paul (Jean Yanne) after Paul killed Charles' son in a hit and run car accident  However the film's ending is left intentionally ambiguous, and Chabrol has stated that "you'll never see a Charles kill a Paul  Never " The film was especially praised for its landscape cinematography In 1970 Chabrol made The Butcher (Le boucher) starring Jean Yanne and Stéphane Audran  Yanne plays Popaul, a former war hero known for his violent behavior, much like that depicted in the prehistoric cave drawings that the characters look at in their Périgord community  The French newspaper Le Figaro called it "the best French film since the liberation " After another examination of bourgeois life in The Breach (La Rupture) in 1970, Chabrol made Just Before Nightfall (Juste avant la nuit) in 1971  The film stars Michel Bouquet as an ad executive named Charles who kills his mistress but cannot handle the guilt, so he confesses his crime to her husband (François Périer) and his wife (Stéphane Audran), expecting their condemnation  To his surprise they are only compassionate and forgiving to his crime and Charles cannot find relief from the guilt of what he has done  Later in 1971 Chabrol made Ten Days' Wonder (La Décade prodigieuse), based on a novel by Ellery Queen  The film was shot in English and starred Michel Piccoli, Anthony Perkins and Orson Welles  It received poor critical reviews  He followed this with the equally disliked Dr  Popaul, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Mia Farrow  Critics compared the film unfavorably with Chabrol's earlier film that centered on a "Landru-like" theme  Critic Jacques Siclier said that "the novelty of Docteur Popaul comes from the offhandedness with which the criminal history is treated "Chabrol took a slight change of pace with his 1973 film Wedding in Blood (Les Noces rouges) by making his first film with political themes  The film stars Audran and Michel Piccoli as lovers who plot to murder Audran's husband, who is the corrupt gaullist mayor of their town  To their surprise the President of France orders that no investigation be made of the mayor's death, leading the murdering couple to suspect political interest in their crime  In the spring of 1973 the French government banned the film for one month, allegedly so that it would not influence members of the jury of a controversial criminal trial  Chabrol followed this political theme with Nada, in which a group of young anarchists kidnap an American ambassador  It was Chabrol's first film to not center on the bourgeois since Le Beau Serge  Chabrol returned to more familiar ground in 1975 with A piece of pleasure (Une partie de plaisir)  In this film screenwriter Paul Gégauff plays a writer with a troubled marriage that ends in tragedy  (In 1983, Gégauff was stabbed to death in real life by his second wife ) Gégauff's wife is played by his real-life first wife Danièle Gégauff (already divorced when this film was made) and his daughter is played by real life daughter Clemence Gégauff  The film received poor critical reviews, with Richard Roud calling it "rather interestingly loathsome "Chabrol ended his Golden Period with one of his most admired and his most controversial films Violette Nozière in 1978  The film starred a young Isabelle Huppert as a real life Parisian girl from a respectable petit-bourgeois family in the 1930s  At night Violette sneaks out to pick up men and eventually contracts syphilis, which she convinces her parents must be hereditary before she kills them  The film was controversial in France but praised in other countries 

1979–2009: Later work
In the 1980's and 1990's Chabrol engaged himself with many different projects for both TV and the silver screen  His films Poulet au vinaigre (1985) and Masques (1987) were entered into the 38th Cannes Film Festival and 37th Berlin International Film Festival respectively  Madame Bovary (1991) was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design  It was also entered into the 17th Moscow International Film Festival  La Cérémonie (1995) is perhaps his most acclaimed film from this period, as it was nominated for numerous César Awards and was entered into the 52nd Venice International Film Festival among other  His 1999 film The Color of Lies was entered into the 49th Berlin International Film Festival In 1995 Chabrol was awarded the Prix René Clair from the Académie française for his body of work 
Chabrol continued directing films and TV series well into the 2000's 

Personal life
Chabrol's first marriage to Agnès Goute (1956–1962) produced a son, Matthieu Chabrol, a composer who scored most of his father's films from the early 1980s  He divorced Agnès to marry the actress Stéphane Audran, with whom he had a son, actor Thomas Chabrol  They remained married from 1964 to 1978  His third wife was Aurore Paquiss, who has been a script supervisor since the 1950s  He had four children  Chabrol was a known gourmet chef and shot 10 Days Wonder in Alsace only because he wanted to visit its restaurants  Although he acknowledges the influence of Alfred Hitchcock in his work, Chabrol has stated that "others have influenced me more  My three greatest influences were Murnau, the great silent film director   Ernst Lubitsch and Fritz Lang "Chabrol died on 12 September 2010 of leukemia  He is buried in Pere Lachaise Cemetery in north-eastern Paris

Passage 2:
Empress Shōken
Empress Dowager Shōken (昭憲皇太后, Shōken-kōtaigō, 9 May 1849 – 9 April 1914), born Masako Ichijō (一条勝子, Ichijō Masako), was the wife of Emperor Meiji of Japan  She is also known under the technically incorrect name Empress Shōken (昭憲皇后, Shōken-kōgō)  She was one of the founders of the Japanese Red Cross Society, whose charity work was known throughout the First Sino-Japanese War 

Early life
Lady Masako Ichijō was born on 9 May 1849, in Heian-kyō, Japan  She was the third daughter of Tadayoshi Ichijō, former Minister of the Left and head of the Fujiwara clan's Ichijō branch  Her adoptive mother was one of Prince Fushimi Kuniie's daughters, but her biological mother was Tamiko Niihata, the daughter of a doctor from the Ichijō family  Unusually for the time, she had been vaccinated against smallpox  As a child, Masako was somewhat of a prodigy: she was able to read poetry from the Kokin Wakashū by the age of 4 and had composed some waka verses of her own by the age of 5  By age seven, she was able to read some texts in classical Chinese with some assistance and was studying Japanese calligraphy  By the age of 12, she had studied the koto and was fond of Noh drama  She excelled in the studies of finances, ikebana and Japanese tea ceremony The major obstacle to Lady Masako's eligibility to become empress consort was the fact that she was 3 years older than Emperor Meiji, but this issue was resolved by changing her official birth date from 1849 to 1850  They became engaged on 2 September 1867, when she adopted the given name Haruko (美子), which was intended to reflect her 
serene beauty and diminutive size 
The Tokugawa Bakufu promised 15,000 ryō in gold for the wedding and assigned her an annual income of 500 koku, but as the Meiji Restoration occurred before the wedding could be completed, the promised amounts were never delivered  The wedding was delayed partly due to periods of mourning for Emperor Kōmei,  for her brother Saneyoshi, and the political disturbances around Kyoto between 1867 and 1868 

Empress of Japan
Lady Haruko and Emperor Meiji's wedding was finally officially celebrated on 11 January 1869  She was the first imperial consort to receive the title of both nyōgō and of kōgō (literally, the emperor's wife, translated as "empress consort"), in several hundred years  However, it soon became clear that she was unable to bear children  Emperor Meiji already had 12 children by 5 concubines, though: as custom in Japanese monarchy, Empress Haruko adopted Yoshihito, her husband's eldest son by Lady Yanagihara Naruko, who became Crown Prince  On 8 November 1869, the Imperial House departed from Kyoto for the new capital of Tokyo  In a break from tradition, Emperor Meiji insisted that the Empress and the senior ladies-in-waiting should attend the educational lectures given to the Emperor on a regular basis about national conditions and developments in foreign nations

Agatha (wife of Samuel of Bulgaria)
Agatha (Bulgarian: Агата, Greek: Άγάθη; fl  late 10th century) was the wife of Emperor Samuel of Bulgaria 

Biography
According to a later addition to the history of the late-11th-century Byzantine historian John Skylitzes, Agatha was a captive from Larissa, and the daughter of the magnate of Dyrrhachium, John Chryselios  Skylitzes explicitly refers to her as the mother of Samuel's heir Gavril Radomir, which means that she was probably Samuel's wife  On the other hand, Skylitzes later mentions that Gavril Radomir himself also took a beautiful captive, named Irene, from Larissa as his wife  According to the editors of the Prosopographie der mittelbyzantinischen Zeit, this may have been a source of confusion for a later copyist, and Agatha's real origin was not Larissa, but Dyrrhachium  According to the same work, it is likely that she had died by ca  998, when her father surrendered Dyrrhachium to the Byzantine emperor Basil II Only two of Samuel's and Agatha's children are definitely known by name: Gavril Radomir and Miroslava  Two further, unnamed, daughters are mentioned in 1018, while Samuel is also recorded as having had a bastard son Agatha is one of the central characters in Dimitar Talev's novel Samuil

Plot
Present day
The film starts with Kanneshwara Rama, a long-sought-after fugitive who has been caught by the police  He is being paraded through the streets of Shimoga before being taken to the state capital for his execution  On the way, Rama sees many people in the crowd who have figured in his life at one point or another and starts thinking about those events 
Flashback
Back in his old days, Rama is a hot-headed peasant who fumes at the slightest attempt of intimidation  He despised meekness and that is one of the reasons for his contempt towards his docile wife  Rama defied the village head, resulting in a midnight scuffle in which he ends up killing the person  He is caught and sent to jail 
In prison, Rama meets Mahatma Gandhi’s followers who are political prisoners  Under cover of a nationalistic disturbance, he escapes from the place and joins a group of bandits  The leader of the group is Junja, who zealously guards his gang's hoard of gold, watched over by Malli, his mistress  Junja gets fond of Rama, something that is resented by some members of the gang, except Chennira who becomes his ally 
Junja is mortally wounded in an encounter with the police and names Rama as his successor  Malli quietly decamps with the hoarded treasure in the dark of night  Rama becomes notorious as an outrageously bold dacoit  He helps the poor, providing a dowry for girls of marriageable age and breaking the hold of feudal landlords in the area  He becomes a hero in the eyes of the people, attaining a status akin to Robinhood 
He raids a landlord's safe and accidentally finds refuge in Malli's house  She is now a high-priced prostitute and they become lovers  However, Rama finds an opportunity to steal her jewels and does not hesitate 
Rama's daring exploits, his growing popularity, and his successes begin to worry the government  The tension with the police reaches its peak when he rescues a group of nationalists from the police, takes the policemen captive, and humiliates the British Captain  He is both amused and impressed by Gandhi's policy of non-violence, but what catches his attention is their building of a cause and the symbolic flag, an idea that started to germinate in his mind 
Some members of Rama's gang are disloyal to him  He out-maneuvers them in their break-away attempt to rob an armed treasury and forgives the culprits, against Chennira's advice  However, Rama begins to wonder whether any group can be loyal to an individual for long  He feels that the guiding principle should be an idea, symbolized by a flag and a base, both of which are necessary  He frees a village under the bondage to a religious order, adopts it, and places his flag on an old fort that guards it  Rama becomes a legend, carving out an independent principality of his own  Rama becomes a legend in his own lifetime  Ballad singers compose songs praising his courage and the police are afraid of him 
The British Government is alarmed  The District Collector sends a large force to capture Rama at any cost  The Police Superintendent first tries to cajole Malli into giving him away but she refuses to do their bidding  He then threatens the people in the village and takes some hostages  The police offensive against Rama is intensified  At an encounter, most of his gang is killed, including the trusted Chennira  Rama runs to his villagers for refuge but they are too scared to help him  Enraged, he sets the village on fire  Even Malli is not able to deter him  The Police Superintendent tries to make Malli help him again  At first, she refuses but when the relatives of the hostages plead with her, she agrees 
Present day
Rama is now alone and helpless  He abandons his weapons at the altar of a temple and visits Malli at night  A trap is set around her house and as soon as Malli sends a signal, the police surround the area  Malli defends her actions by saying that his vindictiveness drove her to it   He says he had only come to give her his treasures so that they could be given to the villagers as compensation  Malli now regrets her betrayal but it is too late
