Réflexions sur le genre musical

user
Le Film Musical est un genre de cinéma qui contient de la musique, des chansons et/ou de la danse. Il peut être confondu avec la comédie musicale, forme de théâtre où ont été ajoutées de la musique, des chansons et de la danse. Les films « avec des chansons » sont rapidement rejoints par la comédie musicale filmée. Certains films sont des adaptations à l'écran de comédies musicales à succès issues de Broadway. En 1935, avec Le Danseur du dessus, le réalisateur Mark ...

Locarno 2011 Day 4 : Lifetime Achievement Award à Harrison Ford

user
by Olivier Père Chaque cinéphile, chaque spectateur se souvient de ses premiers émois cinématographiques, plus ou moins fondateurs pour le reste de sa vie et de sa relation personnelle au cinéma. Evidemment cela dépend de votre âge, de la décennie dans laquelle vous avez grandi. Enfant, les premiers films qui éveillèrent en moi une fascination particulière pour le cinéma étaient des films américains d’aventure et de science-fiction. Trois en particulier : La Guerre des étoi...

CUBA, AN AFRICAN ODYSSEY

Director: Jihan EL TAHRI .
An untold story about the cold war on the African continent, or the defeat of an ideal, internationalism, which Cuban guerrillas failed to defend. In Africa, in the early '60s, four adversaries with conflicting interests face off: the Soviets want to expand their influence; the United States intend to appropriate the continent's natural riches; the former empires seek to revive their shaky colonial power; and the young nations defend their newly-won independence, armed with an ideal: internationalism. African revolutionaries like Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral and Agostinho Neto call on Cuban guerrillas to help them in their struggle, and Fidel Castro's men will play a central role on the continent, from Che Guevara's tragicomic epic in the Congo up to the triumph of the battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola. This film relates a largely untold story, going from 1961 to 1989, with archives and interviews to back it up.
