Question: Do both The Good Old Days: The Love Of Aa and La Chair De L'Orchidée films have the directors from the same country?

James Burwell( March 23, 1898 – September 8, 1974), known as Jim B. or Jimmy B., was one of the Alcoholics Anonymous( AA) founding members. He was among the first ten members of AA on the East Coast, and was responsible for starting Alcoholics Anonymous in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Later in life, he and Rosa, his wife, moved to San Diego, California and were instrumental in the growth of AA there. His most crucial contribution at the founding of AA came from his atheism—or as he later termed it, his" militant agnosticism." He argued strongly with the early group in New York that it needed to tone down what he called the" God bit". This resulted in the much more inclusive" Higher Power" and" God as we understand Him" concepts that are now so closely associated with Alcoholics Anonymous. This compromise was crucial— without it, AA would probably not have survived at all, much less have reached the number of people it has worldwide today. Jim B.'s contribution to Alcoholics Anonymous is considered second only to that of AA's two co-founders, Bill W. and Dr Bob. He was instrumental in the publication of the all important" Saturday Evening Post" article by Jack Alexander that first brought nationwide publicity to AA in March 1941. As mentioned by Bill W. in the" Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions"( pp. 143 – 145), Jim B. is credited with the adoption of AA's Third Tradition: " The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking." In the foreword to the first edition of the book" Alcoholics Anonymous", historically prior to the standardization of the 12 Traditions, it is stated that" the only requirement for membership is" an honest" desire to stop drinking"[ emphasis added]. The long form of the Third Tradition now reads: According to Clarence Snyder( an early AA member from Cleveland):" Jimmy remained steadfast, throughout his life and' preached' his particular[ non- God] brand of AA wherever he went." His story," The Vicious Cycle," was published in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th edition of the AA Big Book. Jim B. is buried in the Christ Episcopal Church cemetery in Owensville, Maryland near his boyhood friend, John Henry Fitzhugh Mayo, known as" Fitz M.",( AA Big Book Story “ Our Southern Friend ”). Jim. B. and Fitz M. were among the first members of AA to get and stay sober with Bill W. in New York. <SEP> La Chair de l'orchidée( The Flesh of the Orchid) is a 1975 film, an adaptation of the 1948 novel" The Flesh of the Orchid" by British writer James Hadley Chase," a pulp- novel sequel to" No Orchids for Miss Blandish( 1939). The story was selected by French author Patrice Chéreau, in his directorial debut and already well known for his stage direction, as the subject for his first film. The film stars Charlotte Rampling, Simone Signoret, Bruno Cremer and Edwige Feuillère. <SEP> In France he is best known for his work for the theatre, internationally for his films "La Reine Margot" and "Intimacy", and for his staging of the "Jahrhundertring", the centenary "Ring Cycle" at the Bayreuth Festival in 1976. Winner of almost twenty movie awards, including the Cannes Jury Prize and the Golden Berlin Bear, Chéreau served as president of the jury at the 2003 Cannes festival. From 1966, he was artistic director of the "Public-Theatre" in the Parisian suburb of Sartrouville, where in his team were stage designer Richard Peduzzi, costume designer Jacques Schmidt and lighting designer André Diot, with whom he collaborated in many later productions. Patrice Chéreau (2 November 1944 – 7 October 2013) was a French opera and theatre director, filmmaker, actor and producer. From 1982, he was director of "his own stage" at the Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers at Nanterre where he staged plays by Jean Racine, Marivaux and Shakespeare as well as works by Jean Genet, Heiner Müller and Bernard-Marie Koltès. He accepted selected opera productions, such as: the first performance of the three-act version of Alban Berg's "Lulu", completed by Friedrich Cerha, at the Paris Opera in 1979; Berg's "Wozzeck" at the Staatsoper Berlin in 1994; Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" at La Scala in 2007; Janáček's "From the House of the Dead", shown at several festivals and the Metropolitan Opera; and, as his last staging, "Elektra" by Richard Strauss, first performed at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in July 2013. He was awarded the Europe Theatre Prize in 2008. <SEP> It was directed by Kwaw Ansah and released in 2010. The Good Old Days: The Love of AA is a Ghanaian romance film which tells a story about two friends who fell in love with each other from their days of Senior High School. <SEP> His first feature," Love Brewed in the African Pot", earned an immediate popular and critical acclaim throughout English- speaking Africa. Despite all the awards and the success, it would be nearly 10 years before Ansah could complete his next major film project, the ambitious" Heritage Africa"( 1989). Yet again, the film was widely acclaimed and awarded. Since then, Ansah has produced other films, including" Harvest at 17"( 1994)," Crossroads of People, Crossroads of Trade"( 1994) and" The Golden Stool, the Soul of the Asantes"( 2000). Ansah is a crusader for African filmmaking and dramatic art, working ceaselessly for improved funding and distribution of African films within Africa. He has been chairman of FEPACI and a leader in the direction of FESPACO. In 1998, Ansah was awarded the Acrag Prize, the Living Legend Award for Contribution to the Arts of Ghana. Kwaw Paintsil Ansah( born 1941) is an award- winning Ghanaian film- maker, whose work as writer, director or producer includes" Love Brewed in the African Pot" in 1980 and" Heritage Africa" in 1989. <SEP> Richard Peduzzi( born 1943 in Argentan, Orne) is a French scenographer. He was the director of the French Academy in Rome from September 2002 to August 2008. Since 1969, he has decorated the sets designed by Patrice Chéreau, and together they have put on several dramatic texts by Bernard- Marie Koltès. In the theatre, they participated in the centennial productions of" Der Ring des Nibelungen" at Bayreuth under the direction of Pierre Boulez. For the Opéra National de Paris, they presented Alban Berg's" Lulu", and Jacques Offenbach's" The Tales of Hoffmann", and for the La Scala, Milan, they collaborated on Wagner's" Tristan und Isolde"( 2007). Peduzzi also created films with Chéreau, such as" La Reine Margot" and" Ceux qui m'aiment prendront le train". He was nominated for a César Award for Best Production Design in 1976 for his work on" La Chair de l'orchidée". Peduzzi's sets are often formed of large vertical masses symbolising the dangers that threaten the characters.
