The Olympics: Politics & Money

The Article has images
2008-07-27 09:34:00 by Pacze Moj in Critical Culture
...apolitical and politically effective at the same time. Although the IOC is not a political organization, it does claim to advance the agenda of human rights. Sadly, neither is true Even the act of awarding the Olympics to a country is political, so the IOC can scrap its apolitical defense right there. The issue with language is interesting,...

...apolitical. That's the thing. Not only is it not entertaining at all but it's completely depoliticized Talen: Consumerism controls public space. It makes us not conversationalists Guillén: I've given a lot of thought on this in recent years and it's just one of the reasons why I so admired What Would Jesus Buy? and why I was going, "Yes,...

Day Zero

2007-12-13 12:43:00 by Pacze Moj in Critical Culture
...apolitical (although that can sometimes be a dangerous way of saying you agree with a film's politics) for a story about a military draft and the Iraq war. The war, the draft, the decisions the characters make: good, bad, neither? Forcefully neither, I'd say. Not that some political opinions would have hurt. Sometimes it's fun to be rubbed...

2007-12-18 14:08:22 by Editor in Ferdy on Films, etc.
...apolitical social creature, with his father, a senator who helped bring down Nixon during the Watergate scandal. By bringing in an informal investigation conducted mainly by Carrs dark-haired lover, but also by the blonde-wigged Carr, the parallels The Walker perhaps unintentionally evoke are to All the Presidents Men . The dirty politics of...

Short Film Week, Day 1: Five short films

The Article has images
2007-12-02 23:36:00 by Ed Howard in Only The Cinema
...apolitical, reveling in visual tricks and surfaces, and despite his thorough deconstruction of Potemkin , it's unclear what his own perspective on the original film might be. Certainly, he's mocking and satirizing the boorish Americans and their tourist mentality, which looks on everything as a potential spectacle or entertainment. His...

Politics dominate the screen at Cannes

2007-05-23 00:09:02 by Independent Films in Independent Films
 
...apolitical. But, little by little, the French film-maker introduces the viewer to a world that is stuck between modernity and tradition, between spirituality and pragmatism, a world where a father figure maybe a representation of God is missing The Cannes festival ends next week, and the socio-political themes are expected to continue...

In defense of The Front Page (1931)

2007-05-15 07:25:00 by Anna in The Crowd Roars
...apolitical His Girl Friday completely lacks. I guess in the end it all depends on what you want to watch - Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell's verbal sparring - or a morally murky story about 1920s Chicago. In the case of The Front Page vs His Girl Friday , I'd take the original any day The 1931 film adaptation of The Front Page won rave...

...apolitical kind of love for film. And I love how whenever Gus Van Sant, Lars Von Trier, or Michael Haneke has a new film it shows up there. Not exactly a favorite film festival, but Ive attended Sundance to some capacity since 2000, and now I even have a press pass to go! (Alex Jackson I'd love to go to Cannes, but not now, 50 years ago....

Sundance Day One - Pt 2 - Alone In Four Walls

2008-01-19 01:19:46 by poland in The Hot Blog
 
...apolitical documentary about a juvenile hall in Russia The film really feels like a Kubrick documentary. The images are so stark, and well framed, and powerful that it is almost hard to believe at times that this isn't staged... though I don't think it is. The steady hand behind the camera is Westheimer's husband and co-producer, Inigo. And...
