They think they're being meta and woke when actually they're just deeply offensive.

The film does a disservice to individuals and families of any color actually experiencing the effects of drug addiction. Our beautiful, middle-class, white heroine is always painted in a light that makes her seem like an innocent victim, as opposed to all the years we’ve consumed media telling us the opposite about drug addicts of any other color. Even the teenager in the black family is demonized more for the way she deals with her trauma than the lead character.</div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><br /></div><p> </p>Critical Women, Prairie Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03939987052158617459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394152446586654355.post-51231962583824745072024-01-17T12:36:00.000-08:002024-01-27T08:27:13.886-08:00<p> </p><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

The award winning, pioneering woman filmmaker is best known for Seven Beauties, The Seduction of Mimi, Love and Anarchy, and Swept Away...</b></p><p><b>By Cynthia Parsons McDaniel</b><br /></p><p>I cannot believe how long Lina Wertmuller’s real name,<br /><br />Arcangela Felice Assunta Wertmüller von Elgg Spañol von Braueich is!<br /><br /> “I know they call me a crazy lady, but I’m only interested in making movies and having people see them,” Said Lina.<br /><br /> To say she was ahead of her time is the biggest understatement EVER said about a female director.<br /><br /> How did I end up interviewing her in Rome? Mainly because I was chasing my British boyfriend who had left me in New York to go work in Milan for Gianfranco Ferre. How did I get Lina’s phone number to even request the interview? Who knows? All I know is I was there on her patio with my camera and tape recorder. Then I was on her movie set working!<br /><br /> Yes she was the first female nominated for an Oscar and yes she covered ruthlessly and magnificently the battle of the sexes. Power sex Women Men! She did a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame too That really amused her. She also got an Academy Honorary Award.<br /><br /> Here is my interview with her below. I was mesmerized by her. By the way I never made it to Milan or the Brit. I had seen Seven Beauties In my Cinema class in London at University. I thought I have to meet her.<br /> </p><p><b>LINA’S HIT JOB <br /><br />BY CYNTHIA PARSONS MCDANIEL</b><br /><br />Lina Wertmuller: “Any object that has light shining on it, that has been washed and perfumed, loses all of its eroticism.”<br /><br />Lina Wertmuller is sitting on the terrace of her house high above Rome, designed by husband-architect-production designer Enrico Job. Her latest film, Camorra, is opening tonight in Naples, the very place it was shot. The phones are ringing like crazy (“Ah, Marcello, come stai?” “Ciao, Giancarlo!”) and armfuls of flowers keep passing into the house. The 56-year old director of such films as Seven Beauties, Swept Away and Loveand Anarchy is reveling in the energy — it only seems to speed up her pungent observations on life and love. <br /><br />Camorra (opening this March in NYC) is a story of the streets, crime and women. The “Camorra” is the Neapolitan equivalent of the Sicilian Mafia, and Wertmuller’s project was decidedly a risky one. The dons aren’t big on unplanned publicity but Naples — a city of crowds, traffic, deals, cement and decadence — was the ideal setting for this murder mystery. Camorra is replete with typical Wertmullerian passion and violence. It’s closer to her earlier work than her more subdued study of marital jealousy (Sotto Sotto) which just ended its New York run. Camorra stars the sultry Andalusian actress Angela Molina, and America’s own Harvey Keitel, among others. <br /><br />Wertmuller: “When I fall in love with a story, it’s like falling in love with a person.”<br /><br /><b>On Camorra’s themes:</b><br /><br />“The film is dedicated to the beauty of youth and to its great fragility. For so many centuries, youth has been destroyed by high ideals—country, politics, religion. Young people are always searching for certainty, for better worlds, better paradises, but have always ended up paying a price for it. I wanted to say that it’s hard to be young. And it’s about Naples, which is a very special city to me. Mysterious.”<br /><br /><b>On Love and Sex:</b><br /><br />“Love is from the head and then passes through to the body. Love is the dark object of desire, a hidden object. It’s not obvious. Any object that has light shining on it, that has been washed and perfumed, loses all its eroticism. Nature puts these hidden angles in us, secret paints that someone arrives at with someone else to establish a new system of sight, smell and vision. Love enters my filmmaking because when I fall in love with a story, it’s like falling in love with a person. I want to know others’ stories; my work is never autobiographical. I want to be the eyes for someone else. I’ve accepted who I am, so I can complete a project I feel strongly about. !feel passion for a story.”<br /><br /><b>On Being A Woman Director:</b><br /><br />“In my films I’m a writer and director, and I’ve tried to interpret feminist, anti-feminist, capitalist and anti-capitalist issues as having both leftist and rightist tendencies at some point. I’m a political writer who believes everything often exists at once. I like to pit the capitalist against the proletarian under the veil of symbolism and depict characters who must continually choose between a life of honor and sheer survival. I’m really the first woman director to consistently gain enough backing to produce my own films.”<br /><br /><b>On the Past and the Future:</b><br /><br />“I’m afraid to say that as a result of women wanting freedom, they’ve lost some romanticism: holding hands, kissing. There is no sentiment. There’s no mystery. We need to go back to the traditional rites of lovemaking, like priests and priestesses. Basically, I hate the violence of a masculine society— that was something I dealt with in Sotto Sotto and also in Camorra. But it isn’t easy to change a situation (between men and women) that is thousands of years old.” <br /></p>Critical Women, Prairie Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03939987052158617459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394152446586654355.post-85457127203283575552021-12-11T11:50:00.000-08:002021-12-22T08:50:54.250-08:00WOMEN FILM CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 2021<p> </p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

Her killer tried to cover up his crime by hanging her from a shower rack in her bathroom, to make it look like suicide. He later confessed that he was having a "bad day." Shelly, who left behind a baby daughter, had just completed her film Waitress, which she also starred in, and which was honored at Sundance after her death.</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><strong>WINNER: Last Night in Soho</strong></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><strong>RUNNER-UP: Adrienne</strong></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><strong>*</strong><strong>JOSEPHINE BAKER AWARD</strong> – For best expressing the woman of color experience in America</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">*JOSEPHINE BAKER AWARD: The daughter of a laundress and a musician, Baker overcame being born black, female and poor, and marriage at age fifteen, to become an internationally acclaimed legendary performer, starring in the films Princess Tam Tam, Moulin Rouge and Zou Zou. She also survived the race riots in East St. Louis, Illinois as a child, and later expatriated to France to escape US racism. After participating heroically in the underground French Resistance during WWII, Baker returned to the US where she was a crusader for racial equality. Her activism led to attacks against her by reporter Walter Winchell who denounced her as a communist, leading her to wage a battle against him. Baker was instrumental in ending segregation in many theaters and clubs, where she refused to perform unless integration was implemented.</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><strong>WINNER: Passing</strong></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><strong>RUNNER-UP: Respect</strong></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Bruised</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Test Pattern</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><strong>*KAREN MORLEY AWARD</strong> – For best exemplifying a woman's place in history or society, and a courageous search for identity</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">*KAREN MORLEY AWARD: Karen Morley was a promising Hollywood star in the 1930s, in such films as Mata Hari and Our Daily Bread. She was driven out of Hollywood for her leftist political convictions by the Blacklist and for refusing to testify against other actors, while Robert Taylor and Sterling Hayden were informants against her. And also for daring to have a child and become a mother, unacceptable for female stars in those days. Morley maintained her militant political activism for the rest of her life, running for Lieutenant Governor on the American Labor Party ticket in 1954. She passed away in 2003, unrepentant to the end, at the age of 93.</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;

padding: 0px;">In the new Disney movie ‘<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3228774/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: 0px 0px; color: #044faa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Cruella</a>’ the Rolling Stones classic ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ plays over the film’s final scene, which felt a bit too on the nose for the origin story of a notorious character that will go on to attempt to skin puppies for the sake of fashion. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">Cruella, of course, is Cruella de Vil, the infamous arch villain of the iconic animated film ‘<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115433/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: 0px 0px; color: #044faa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">One Hundred and One Dalmatians</a>’. With this new, live-action, reimagined reboot starring Emma Stone, we discover why Cruella hates dalmatians so much and how she rose to power. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">What we really learn, though, is that the suits at Disney will go to any lengths to plumb the depths of their intellectual property vault to make money and corrode the culture.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">Cruella, whose real name is Estella, is at first set in a sort of Dickensian London, where we learn of her troubled childhood.

" media="(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></source></picture></a></div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">Director Craig Gillespie has experience making movies about cartoonishly villainous women, as evidenced by his terrific film ‘<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5580036/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: 0px 0px; color: #044faa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">I, Tonya</a>’, about disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, but on ‘Cruella’ he seems desperately out of place. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">The film’s star, Emma Stone, doesn’t fare much better. Stone is a likeable screen presence, but she is all bark and no bite as Cruella, as the threadbare script makes little human sense and reduces her acting to histrionics.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">The film’s massive $200 million budget doesn’t translate into stunning visuals, either, as the film looks just okay and lacks any remarkable cinematic moments. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">It’s also painfully derivative, generously borrowing from other, much better films like ‘<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/?ref_=fn_al_tt_6" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: 0px 0px; color: #044faa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Devil Wears Prada</a>’, ‘<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7286456/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: 0px 0px; color: #044faa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Joker</a>’, ‘<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0155267/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: 0px 0px; color: #044faa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Thomas Crown Affair</a>’ and ‘<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: 0px 0px; color: #044faa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">V for Vendetta</a>’. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">The biggest problem with ‘Cruella’, though, is that it can’t quite figure out what exactly it wants to be. It’s too dark to be for kids and too silly to be for adults. Yet, despite the movie’s PG13 rating, it would appear from the movie’s rather ludicrous plot and minimal character development that the target audience is impressionable pre-teen girls, which is unfortunate since the film’s moral perspective is less than idyllic. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">Even though there are shades of Cinderella in ‘Cruella’, there are certainly no princesses to be found. The old days of the Disney princess are long gone, and some may say good riddance, but now the corporate behemoth Mickey Mouse built is pivoting to not just churning out generic girl power movies, but with ‘Cruella’, bad-girl girl power movies. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">This is a bad-girl versus bad-girl movie, a battle of the bitches if you will, where Cruella (Emma Stone) faces off against her fashion designer nemesis Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson – doing a second-rate Meryl Streep imitation), with the most-cruel and conniving female fashionista winning the stylish bad-girl championship crown with belt to match. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">I’m old enough to remember when ‘Joker’ came out in 2019 and hysterical establishment critics shrieked in horror, declaring it dangerous because Joker was the “<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">patron saint of incels</em>” who’d inspire white men to violence. Joker was rated R and obviously geared towards adults, but ‘Cruella’? It’s for 10-year-old girls and is designed, under the guise of self-empowerment, to encourage the selfish, bitchy, and viciously toxic behavior of brats of all ages. </p><a class="read-more-big" href="https://www.rt.com/op-ed/469986-joker-movie-premiere-outrage/" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; color: #044faa; display: block; margin: 30px 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transform: translateZ(0px); transition: opacity 0.2s ease 0s; width: 802.037px;" target="_blank"><span class="read-more-big__container" style="-webkit-box-direction: normal; -webkit-box-orient: horizontal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; display: flex; flex-flow: row nowrap; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none !important;"><span class="read-more-big__content" style="-webkit-box-direction: normal; -webkit-box-flex: 0; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; display: flex; flex-flow: column nowrap; flex: 0 0 33.33%; margin: 0px; padding: 16px 16px 32px; text-decoration: none !important;"><span class="read-more-big__subtitle" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px 0px 60px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none !important; text-transform: uppercase;">ALSO ON RT.COM</span><span class="read-more-big__title" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none !important;">'Patron saint of incels'?

These stories can have great value in that they help a culture assimilate its shadow and ultimately find catharsis. ‘Joker’ is a perfect example of this, and so could ‘Cruella’ be if it were made for adults.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">‘Cruella’, though, is a sign of a culture intent on destroying itself; it’s a kids’ movie that teaches young girls to identify with and have sympathy for this undeniably immoral and malignant megalomaniacal she-devil, all while it celebrates cruelty. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">I guess a corrosive kids’ movie like ‘Cruella’ was inevitable, since we live in a popular, political, and social culture populated with so many cruel, immoral, malignantly megalomaniacal adults. As the saying goes, “<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">You get what you pay for</em>...” which is why I definitely wouldn’t recommend paying for ‘Cruella’. <br /></p></div>Critical Women, Prairie Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03939987052158617459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394152446586654355.post-41556226081172019632021-03-08T07:15:00.006-08:002021-03-08T10:59:43.676-08:00 THE WOMEN FILM CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS<p>The Women Film Critics Circle announces its 2O20 Awards on March 8th International Women's Day for the best movies this year by and about women - and outstanding achievements by women, who get to be rarely honored historically in the film world.</p><p>The Women Film Critics Circle is an association of 80 women film critics and scholars from around the country and internationally, who are involved in print, radio, online and TV broadcast media.

After participating heroically in the underground French Resistance during WWII, Baker returned to the US where she was a crusader for racial equality.

<b>The Women Film Critics Circle Announces Awards 2018</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The
Women Film Critics Circle has announced their 2018 Awards for the
best movies this year by and about women, and outstanding achievements
by women, who get to be rarely honored historically, in the film world. </div>
<div>
<br />
The
Women Film Critics Circle is an association of women film critics and
scholars from around the country and internationally, who are involved
in print, radio, online and TV broadcast media. They came together in
2004 to form the first women critics' organization in the United States,
in the belief that women's perspectives and voices in film criticism
need to be recognized fully.</div>
<div>
<br />
Critical Women On Film, a presentation
of The Women Film Critics Circle, is their journal of discussion and
theory, and a gathering of women's voices expressing a fresh and
differently experienced perspective from the primarily male dominated
film criticism world. Critical Women On Film is online <a href="http://criticalwomen.blogspot.com/"><b>HERE</b></a><br />

<b> Ellen Burstyn: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore [1974]</b><br />
<br />
<b>WFCC HALL OF SHAME<br />**Member Picks:<br /><br />*Fifty Shades Freed:</b> For perpetuating unrealistic and demeaning stereotypes of women, being defined by men emotionally and physically. <br />
<b><br />*Bryan Singer:</b> Accused of committing crimes against young men, his continued status as a hirable, high-paid director is an affront to the women in the film industry who are struggling for recognition. <br />
<b><br />*Les Moonves:</b> Chairman and CEO of CBS, Moonves resigned in light of allegations that he sexually abused many women, and information on the culture of fear that he reigned over is now coming out.<br />
<br />
<b>Baby It's Cold Outside.</b> This traditional holiday season song has now been banned on radio stations following Me-Too protests, as promoting suggestive date rape lyrics. The debate that has followed is raising critical issues for discussion, but all agree that the male character, however culturally dated, is creepy. The Oscar winning song originated in the 1949 musical Neptune's Daughter, performed by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban.<br />
<br />
* As a footnote, perhaps more relevant during this season when greedy landlords deny heat to tenants, would be revising the title to: Baby It's Cold Inside! <b><br /></b></div>

<b>*ADRIENNE
SHELLY AWARD:</b> Adrienne Shelly was a promising actress and filmmaker who
was brutally strangled in her apartment in 2006 at the age of forty by a
construction worker in the building, after she complained about noise.
Her killer tried to cover up his crime by hanging her from a
shower20rack in her bathroom, to make it look like suicide. He later
confessed that he was having a "bad day." Shelly, who left behind a baby
daughter, had just completed her film Waitress, which she also starred
in, and which was honored at Sundance after her death.<br />
<b><br />*JOSEPHINE
BAKER AWARD:</b> The daughter of a laundress and a musician, Baker overcame
being born black, female and poor, and marriage at age fifteen, to
become an internationally acclaimed legendary performer, starring in the
films Princess Tam Tam, Moulin Rouge and Zou Zou. She also survived the
race riots in East St. Louis, Illinois as a child, and later
expatriated to France to escape US racism. After participating
heroically in the underground French Resistance during WWII, Baker
returned to the US where she was a crusader for racial equality. Her
activism led to attacks against her by reporter Walter Winchell who
denounced her as a communist, leading her to wage a battle against him.
Baker was instrumental in ending segregation in many theaters and clubs,
where she refused to perform unless integration was implemented.<br />
<br />
<b>*KAREN
MORLEY AWARD:</b> Karen Morley was a promising Hollywood star in the 1930s,
in such films as Mata Hari and Our Daily Bread. She was driven out of
Hollywood for her leftist political convictions by the Blacklist and for
refusing to testify against other actors, while Robert Taylor and
Sterling Hayden were informants against her. And also for daring to have
a child and become a mother, unacceptable for female stars in those
days. Morley maintained her militant political activism for the rest of
her life, running for Lieutenant Governor on the American Labor Party
ticket in 1954. She passed away in 2003, unrepentant to the end, at the
age of 93.<b><br /></b></div>

<br />
When
Western terrorist attacks by mostly Middle Eastern right wing
extremists take place, among the shocked responses in the aftermath, is
always the perplexed reaction in disbelief, as to why such a presumably
meaningless assault could have taken place. Yet like a long lingering
elephant in the room that just won't seem to go away, the evidence is in
plain sight.<br />
<br />
Say for instance, the murder in recent
times and in progress, of over a million people in Iraq and Afghanistan
alone by the US military and European allies. And a kind of blowback
retaliation on their own soil of the perpetrators, that may not even be
those original fighters - but perhaps their surviving inconsolable
relatives or children determined to seek revenge.<br />
<br />
Such
is the intriguing metaphorical premise of Fatih Akin's In The Fade (Aus
dem Nichts). The German director of Turkish parentage masterfully flips
the script, as Hamburg housewife Katja (Diane Kruger) endures the horror
of her Kurdish husband Nuri (Numan Acar), a legal activist for the
local Turkish community, along with her young son being murdered in a
racially motivated, anti-immigrant targeted bombing of his office by
German white supremacist Neo-Nazis.<br />
<br />
The emotionally
disintegrating, suicidal widow, overcome by feelings of hopelessness and
rage, seeks a revenge in kind against the two accused perpetrators -
following their acquittal for lack of irrefutable evidence in court. And
what ultimately ensues is not just a stunningly executed thriller, but a
brilliant parable for our time.<br />
<br />
In other words, the
immensely provocative notion of victimization reversal, and the
perpetrator as perpetrated. Along with ironically, the accusation that
has always been raised against Germans where this movie was made - how
could you as a people stand by and do nothing while Hitler annihilated
civilians and enemies alike in the millions. Well, perhaps exactly what
those leveling charges have been doing since then, without much
objection or even acknowledgement raised - and the United States alone
having killed and continuing to do so, more than 20 million people in
thirty-seven victim nations since World War II.<br />
You go, Diane.<br />

"I personally find it delightful to partake in an offering of a movie
that is without aliens, robots, explosions, train wrecks, dire disease
and plagues, or invasions from other planets."</b><br />
<br />
That's
Diane Lane, talking about her starring role along with Alec Baldwin as
her emotionally self-absorbed spouse, in Paris Can Wait. Lane and the
writer/director Eleanor Coppola, wife of Francis Ford Coppola, met with
Arts Express to discuss how they explore through this film together in
front of and behind the camera as women, the journey beyond what is
much more than a road movie and the predominant male perspective, filter,
lens and narratives dominating cinema.<br />
<br />
<b> **
"No man is an island, and we have to engage with things around us and
speak our minds - and even though that means sometimes I'm going to
invite a little derision and some negativity from certain quarters - but
I'm okay with that."</b><br />
<br />
Steve Coogan phones in to
Arts Express from London to talk about his role opposite Richard Gere in
The Dinner. And a film as much a mirror reflecting back critically on
the audience as it is a movie, in how the drama challenges viewers
regarding impulses that can compromise enlightened idealistic values
versus self-serving behavior - whether tribal, familial or both - that
dehumanizes and destroys those labeled as the "Other." And by extension,
that could be referring to director Oren Moverman's native Israel in
its treatment of the Palestinians, or the US inflicting horror on the
people of any number of countries - all in the context of a ridiculously
ostentatious and pretentious designer dinner.<br />

New York, April 21 2017--Matt Tyrnauer, director, speaks on the making of CITIZEN JANE: BATTLE FOR THE CITY which opens tonight at the IFC. Now that I've seen it: don't miss! New Yorkers owe a lot to Jane--sharp, observant, resourceful, determined. An inspiration for activists and would-be activists, this visually arresting (not only lots of demolition, but priceless scenes of women with prams protesting) is well-argued, tough and still timely.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://youtu.be/DxLGsgfAz-o">WATCH THE INTERVIEW WITH MATT TYRNAUER HERE</a> </b><br />
<br />
The film examines closely the tactics employed in the 60s by feminist writer/activist Jane Jacobs--dismissed by the male urban planners as "a housewife"-- to defeat several ill-conceived plans by inhumane czar Robert Moses to destroy downtown New York neighborhood life--notably by extending Fifth Avenue through Washington Square and to build a Lower Manhattan Expressway through SoHo.<br />
<br />
It also presents a comprehensive view of the history of sterile and brutish post war urban planning tracing it back to a misappropriation of Le Corbusier designs for office buildings and transferring them to housing projects --the tower in a park--for low-income people. Filmed by Liza Béar<br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> CITIZEN JANE: BATTLE FOR THE CITY premiered at the Tribeca International Film Festival in 2016 it was also shown at Hot Docs.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. The people that evacuated this AM in 20 buses with help of the Red Cross were rebels, militants and terrorists that have been moved with their families to Idlib [city and province].

<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. The civilians that are crossing to the safer side claim that the rebels deprive them of food, water and medicine. They also said that many would be shot by these rebels for just trying to cross to the west side of Aleppo.</span></div>

women critics’ organization in the United States, in the belief that

<b>**ADRIENNE SHELLY AWARD:</b> Adrienne Shelly was a promising actress and
filmmaker who was brutally strangled in her apartment in 2006 at the age
of forty by a construction worker in the building, after she complained
about noise. Her killer tried to cover up his crime by hanging her from
a shower rack in her bathroom, to make it look like a suicide. He
later confessed that he was having a “bad day.” Shelly, who left behind a
baby daughter, had just completed her film Waitress, which she also
starred in, and which was honored at Sundance after her death.<br />
<b><br />**JOSEPHINE BAKER AWARD: </b>The daughter of a laundress and a musician,
Baker overcame being born black, female and poor, and marriage at age
fifteen, to become an internationally acclaimed legendary performer,
starring in the films Princess Tam Tam, Moulin Rouge and Zou Zou. She
also survived the race riots in East St. Louis, Illinois as a child, and
later expatriated to France to escape US racism. After participating
heroically in the underground French Resistance during WWII, Baker
returned to the US where she was a crusader for racial equality. Her
activism led to attacks against her by reporter Walter Winchell who
denounced her as a communist, leading her to wage a battle against him.
Baker was instrumental in ending segregation in many theaters and clubs,
where she refused to perform unless integration was implemented.<br />
<br />
<b>**KAREN MORLEY AWARD:</b> Karen Morley was a promising Hollywood star in
the 1930s, in such films as Mata Hari and Our Daily Bread. She was
driven out of Hollywood for her leftist political convictions by the
Blacklist and for refusing to testify against other actors, while Robert
Taylor and Sterling Hayden were informants against her. And also for
daring to have a child and become a mother, unacceptable for female
stars in those days. Morley maintained her militant political activism
for the rest of her life, running for Lieutenant Governor on the
American Labor Party ticket in 1954. She passed away in 2003,
unrepentant to the end, at the age of 93.<br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">New
York, October 5 2016--If a reference to poetry is intended by the title
"A Quiet Passion", no doubt the act of writing itself is quiet, but as
presented in this film there was absolutely nothing quiet about
Dickinson's turbulent emotional life, forthrightness and outspokenness
about moral principles, preservation of her creative independence,
atheism and challenge to accepted pieties and social hypocrisy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Cynthia
Nixon brilliantly portrays the rebellious and soulful Emily Dickinson
in A QUIET PASSION by Terence Davies. His latest 19th century biopic is
an exquisite, sublimely-lit film that seamlessly merges Dickinson's
poetry, family life and searing--and often scathing-- quest for truth
and honesty, in herself and others. An abundance of bons mots and sharp
repartee in the verbal sparring between Emily, her sister, brother,
father and best friend keep the narrative moving at a fast clip. The
rapports between family members are nevertheless marked </span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">by a deep affection and Emily is gentler with her mother. </span><br />
