The Big Lebowski begins with a case of mistaken identity which escalates when Jeffrey Lebowski - alias The Dude - attempts to seek recompense for the despoilation of his ratty-ass little rug, and then finds himself entangled in a kidnapping caper as a bagman - a situation that goes from bad to worse due to the interference of his hapless bowling partners. In The Big Lebowski the Coen brothers have taken on the preoccupations of Raymond Chandler, but have given them a postmodern spin, while at the same time leaving Philip Marlowes ethos intact as The Dude wanders thorugh the fractured world of nineties LA trying to do the right thing. Like the award-winning Fargo, The Big Lebowski is suffused with a droll humour and a verbal felicity that is as delightful as it is startling.

A multifaceted dissection of the infamous noir film ... good reading for any American cinema buffKirkus Chinatown is the Holy Grail of 1970s cinema. Its ending is the most notorious in American film and its closing line of dialogue the most haunting. Here for the first time is the incredible true story of its making. In Sam Wassons telling, it becomes the defining story of its most colorful characters. Here is Jack Nicholson at the height of his powers, embarking on his great, doomed love affair with Anjelica Huston. Here is director Roman Polanski, both predator and prey, haunted by the savage murder of his wife, returning to Los Angeles, where the seeds of his own self-destruction are quickly planted. Here is the fevered deal-making of "The Kid" Robert Evans, the most consummate of producers. Here too is Robert Townes fabled script, widely considered the greatest original screenplay ever written. Wasson for the first time peels off layers of myth to provide the true account of its creation. Looming over the story of this classic movie is the imminent eclipse of the 70s filmmaker-friendly studios as they gave way to the corporate Hollywood we know today.

Death is always the issue-in life, and in the Western. Joel and Ethan Coens TheBalladofBusterScruggs is a movie of six Western stories.

These six stories escort them with a care that either respects, or mocks, the dignity of all. The film stars Tom Waits, James Franco, Liam Neeson, Tim Bake Nelson and Zoe Kazan and is shot with the harsh grandeur of the classic John Ford westerns.

This book is not meant to be a biography of Terrence Malick. The purpose behind the book is to introduce readers to the extraordinary universe of his film-making and to aid them in understanding his work. And to do this through the words of his closest collaborators - cinematographers, set designers, costumers, cameramen, directors, producers, and actors such as Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek and Jessica Chastain. As their words flow from one to another, they form a fascinating, kaleidoscopic vision of American film and specifically Malicks artistic world. who make up a film. This book is the fruit of a journey began years ago when Luciano Baracaroli, Carlo Hintermann, Gerardo Panichi and Daniele Villa made a documentary on the work of Terrence Malick, which led to the making of this book as well.

El deslinde de los estratos de significación del término cultura (burguesa, de élite, de masa), deliberadamente enajenados de sus esencias profundas por la manipulación capitalista, constituye una notable empresa de este titulo. Perfilar las fronteras entre ellos, desde la perspectiva del espacio de autenticidad que es la cultura popular, lanza un desafio a la conciencia social, abriendole un camino de comprension sobre las implicaciones reales de una terminologia elaborada desde los centros de poder para anular y suplantar a la cultura autentica, que es la creada por el pueblo, por las clases bajas o subalternas, al decir de Adolfo Colombres. Se trata de una reflexion sobre la cultura popular y la posibilidad de teorizarla desde la perspectiva critica y emancipadora de las capas sociales subalternas, con el proposito fundamental de dimensionar las expresiones artisticas del pueblo frente a los intentos de sustituirlas por una literatura para el pueblo. Como parte de los complejos procesos que condicionan la cultura popular, se abordan temas como el lenguaje y el sistema de la oralidad, las especificidades teoricas de la cultura en Nuestra America, el papel de los medios de comunicacion, el folklore, las politicas y estrategias sociales, la diversidad cultural, la dialectica entre identidad y globalizacion, y otros topicos que problematizan la vision que sobre estos temas pretenden imponer los discursos hegemonicos.

"A sus tres años Isabel Coixet aprendió una lección: la pantalla y la vida son dos mundos que colindan aunque no se comuniquen. De ese temprano aprendizaje proceden los textos comprendidos en Te escribo una carta en mi cabeza. Porque podriamos decir que la niña crece, pero algo o mucho queda de ella, siempre alerta, sentada en esa butaca que ya nunca abandonara y desde ahi, todo oidos, los ojos bien abiertos, atraviesa la realidad de la mano de las cartas que le va escribiendo. Enamorarse del mundo tiene que ver con una renovada capacidad de sentir asombro, y es ese estado de permanente curiosidad el que hilvana estos textos en los que Coixet comparte su busqueda de la singularidad a veces llamada belleza y la encuentra en las cosas aparentemente mas corrientes: una buena comida, los cafes pendientes, su amor por las gafas, el vestido rosa de Greta Garbo, o la lluvia, que ya no es como la de antes. Son, pues, estos textos algo asi como contraindicaciones, una invitacion a cambiar de opinion, alejandonos de lo rotundo y del espejismo de las seguridades". _ Laura Ferrero

Tardes de Cinemateca reúne la tan breve como intensa obra de un poeta encabalgado entre los siglos XX y XXI; rememora las funciones cinematográficas vespertinas a las que asistió Alberto Acosta-Pérez (La Habana, 1955-2012), quien no es un nombre de paso para la literatura cubana. La critica, que no podra olvidarlo si es labor de analisis serio, tiene en ello una cuidadosa orientacion acerca de uno de los afectos esenciales de este autor. Algunos de sus poemas figuran entre lo mas hermoso alcanzado por la poesia cubana. Los once que aqui se han agrupado son el mejor testimonio de esa sensibilidad hacia el septimo arte.Estas evocaciones son de un poeta a cuyo alrededor: "vienen y van fantasmas que no veo, / que saludan o preguntan sin entender".

Tarantino hace una particular interpretación de la clásica película pop Top Gun. Scorsese recuerda esos años de sexo, drogas y rock and roll. Duncan Jones busca separarse de la sombra del padre, el inefable David Bowie. Y David Cronenberg, higienico en extremo, se niega a darle la mano al autor de este libro que pretende desentrañar las claves del metodo de estos (y otros) realizadores, los mas destacados del momento.Tardes de cine reune las entrevistas hechas por el periodista y critico Ernesto Garratt a catorce directores de la primera linea de la industria filmica. Esta es su lista personal, una clasificacion arbitraria y honesta, descarnada a ratos, siempre profunda. Son dialogos que retratan, desde el oficio, la experiencia detras de las camaras y la etica particular de estos cineastas. Con cada uno de ellos, el periodista recorre su filmografia y repasa, a traves de ensayos reveladores, las caracteristicas que los han transformado en referentes.
