Introduction

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 1 –11

[In recent decades, literary criticism, art and film criticism have been dominated by formalist, psychoanalytical and cultural studies approaches; but since the 1980s, many disciplines — from economics to political science, philosophy, psychology, history, law, biology and the neurosciences —...

Living in Manhattan in the 19th Century

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 15 –60

[Gangs of New York was released in 2002, but it had been conceived a quarter of a century before. It was in the 1970s that Scorsese read Herbert J. Asbury’s book The Gangs of New York (1928), and, being such a passionate lover of the city, he was inspired by the history of the various groups in...

Memory and Astonishment in Shutter Island

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 61 –79

[Scorsese’s film Shutter Island quickly attracted a very large audience — in the United States it was released in more than 3000 theatres; in France it has had more than 1 million spectators since release in February 2010, almost as many as for Taxi Driver in the 1970s. Its screenplay, based on...

Style and Signature in Film

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 80 –93

[As mentioned in the introduction, recent film theory has been afraid of using the notion of the auteur and is quite dismissive of the Nouvelle Vague’s belief in style as marking the most salient thematic and formal characteristics of some filmmakers. This critical attitude is in line with the...

Bazin, Bresson and Scorsese: Performatives in Film

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 94 –117

[Since the late 1970s, literary studies have been fascinated by the concept of performativity. The notion of performative language (or speech acts) was launched by J. L. Austin in his 1962 book, How to Do Things with Words: here, he makes clear that performative utterances mark the link between...

Jim Jarmusch’s Philosophy of Composition

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 121 –137

[The philosophical aspect of art is not limited to its content or to the ideas expressed by words or images. Indeed, art presupposes the implementation of a delicate philosophy — ‘The Philosophy of Composition’, as Edgar Allan Poe entitled one of his most celebrated essays, in which he explained...

Minimalist Aesthetics in Gerry

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 141 –154

[The opening sequence of Gerry by Gus Van Sant depicts one of the most iconic landscapes in American film, and from two genres: Westerns and road movies. The road that appears on the screen cuts through a desert landscape, passing shrubs, hillocks and reddish-brown soil. An off-yellow car,...

Space and Long Takes in Paranoid Park

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 155 –168

[Gus Van Sant likes long takes: ‘I think, he says in a 2003 interview, that there’s a lot of things about not cutting that we don’t really get from a lot of modern cinema, because everyone — fashion-wise — is really into cutting like every half-second.’ Talking about Elephant and its very long...

Lives on Film: Gus Van Sant’s Milk

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 169 –181

[The biopic is a triumph. One only has to look at the list of films on release, dominated at the start of 2012 by the blockbuster about J. Edgar Hoover, directed by the giant of cinema, Clint Eastwood, and Luc Besson’s The Lady (2011), which tells the story of the family life of Aung San Suu Kyi...

David Lynch: Painting in Film

Lombardo, Patrizia

Pages: 182 –211

[Artistic genres and categories have been mixed up and conflated since the 19th century, with one art being able to lead into another: Romanticism saw the phenomenon of writers who were painters and vice versa, such as William Blake or Victor Hugo, and poets who were art critics, such as...
