Voor indebioscoop schreef ik een uitgebreid stuk over Some Like It Hot (1959). Deze even klassieke als moderne screwball comedy wordt in september driemaal vertoond in EYE. Billy Wilder speelt in één van zijn meest geslaagde films met (gender)identiteit en het morele appel van de Amerikaanse middenklasse. Ik schets de context waarin de film tot stand kwam, en ga daarnaast vooral in op Wilders fascinatie voor het rollenspel als een narratief én politiek krachtmiddel.
Voor dwarsinterviewde ik twee grote filmliefhebbers, die hun stem lieten horen over een misschien wat ongewoon onderwerp: tegendraadse, of, zo je wilt, dwarse cinema. Het idee van mijn artikel was de filmgeschiedenis door te gaan aan de hand van rebellen, outlaws in een door Hollywood gedomineerde filmwereld. Welke regisseurs sloegen andere paden in en brachten zo vernieuwing en verandering? En met welke ogen kijken we daar vandaag de dag naar?
I wrote the following film analysis for a course called Visual Aesthetics and Analysis (University of Antwerp, october 2017-january 2018). In a (combined) visual and written essay on the movie Final Cut: Ladies and Gentlemen (2012), I argue how the technique of editing & cinematography and the use of music and narrative can contribute to the framing of a darker side of men. My goal is to succesfully connect the analysis of one chosen sequence with a more general thematic evaluation of this special movie.
