Steve Halliwell is best known as the loveable patriarch Zak Dingle in the hit TV show Emmerdale, a part he has played since 1994 and which has led him to become one of the UKs most recognisable and treasured soap stars. Yet before he found success on the Yorkshire Dales, Halliwell spent many years desperately seeking work, often spending time on the streets in the search of food. This warts-and-all story of Halliwells rise to fame, where success was only won after great personal struggles, is inspirational to those who wish to establish a life and career for themselves in the face of similar hardships. Going beyond the experiences of one man, If the Cap Fits explores a wider social, cultural and class history that permeated the country in the sixties and seventies, and still lingers today.

This edition of Herzog on Herzog presents a completely new set of interviews in which Werner Herzog discusses his career from its very beginnings to his most recent productions. Herzog was once hailed by Francois Truffaut as the most important director alive. Famous for his frequent collaborations with mercurial actor Klaus Kinski - including the epics, Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo, and the terrifying Nosferatu - and more recently with documentaries such as Grizzly Man, Cave of Forgotten Dreams and Into the Abyss, Herzog has built a body of work that is one of the most vital in post-war German cinema.

A partire dalla sua comparsa sul mercato alla fine degli anni Novanta, ledizione in DVD ha giocato un ruolo di primo piano nei processi di trasformazione e ridefinizione delloggetto-cinema e delle pratiche di fruizione del film. Attraverso la proposta di extra o contenuti speciali, ledizione in DVD modifica lesperienza del film, da una parte appropriandosi delle qualita dellesperienza della visione in sala, e dallaltra facendo uso delle forme di personalizzazione caratteristiche dei media digitali. Questa logica dellambivalenza costituisce il filo rosso che si dipana lungo il percorso offerto dai saggi qui raccolti (anche di studiosi internazionali, protagonisti delle ricerche in questo particolare ambito) e rende il DVD un punto di osservazione privilegiato per indagare i cambiamenti del cinema nello scenario mediatico contemporaneo.

Ces Considérations sont, au départ, nées d’une observation simple : la disproportion abyssale existant entre les belles histoires (fondées sur du sentimentalisme à échelle industrielle) que nous raco

From the Pope of Trash himself, John Waters, Carsick is his hilarious (if not always 100% true) account of hitchhiking fearlessly into the heart of middle America.John Waters is putting his life on the line. Armed with wit, a pencil-thin moustache, and a cardboard sign that reads Im Not Psycho, he hitchhikes across America from Baltimore to San Francisco, braving lonely roads and treacherous drivers. But who should we be more worried about, the delicate film director with genteel manners or the unsuspecting travelers transporting the Pope of Trash?Along the way, Waters fantasizes about the best and worst possible scenarios: a friendly drug dealer hands over piles of cash to finance films with no questions asked, a demolition-derby driver makes a filthy sexual request in the middle of a race, a gun-toting drunk terrorizes and holds him hostage, and a Kansas vice squad entraps and throws him in jail. So what really happens when this cult legend sticks out his thumb and faces the open road? Laced with subversive humour and warm intelligence, Carsick is an unforgettable ride with a wickedly funny companion - and a celebration of Americas weird, astonishing, and generous citizens.

Questo libro nasce dal desiderio di ripercorrere un decennio di vita del cinema italiano, gli anni Cinquanta che, stretti tra il neorealismo e la modernita degli anni Sessanta, appaiono, a ogni rinnovato studio, un campo prezioso di esercizio per trascorrere dal vecchio al nuovo, dalla tradizione a forme rinnovate per il nostro cinema. E studiando questo periodo si incontra Giorgio Bassani come uomo di cinema. Un aspetto, questo, sicuramente minore rispetto alla mai abbastanza celebrata personalita di fine letterato e di indomito intellettuale. Ma un aspetto che ci permette di rileggere il cinema di quegli anni come grande momento di elaborazione di un passato prossimo, di uneredita cogente, di una storia appena trascorsa, ma anche come volano per intraprendere spericolate strade divergenti, rotte alternative che puntano a un orizzonte che appena si intravede. Seguire le tracce lasciate dalla relazione di Bassani con il cinema italiano significa, dunque, prendere le mosse da una biografia, dalla storia di una vita, e ritornare sentimentalmente a un periodo che ha visto letterati impegnati a fianco di personalita del mondo del cinema tentare la bella impresa del confronto, animati dallidea di fondare una nuova forma di scrittura intermedia e contemporanea.

Lidea comica reclama sugli schermi italiani sempre piu spazio nel corso degli anni Trenta e fino alla caduta del fascismo. Si tratta di unidea multiforme, variopinta, irriducibile a formula, che sfuggendo di mano agli stessi protagonisti e ripresentandosi in continuazione sotto mutate spoglie nei diversi media, attraversa bruciante il cinema di regime e trova casa dalle fondamenta apparentemente solide solo quando i letterati-umoristi si rimboccano le maniche e per utilizzare la stessa espressione con cui oggi il potere ama celebrare le proprie fatiche eroiche scendono in campo.

I film sono straordinari dispositivi emozionali: ci attraggono e ci coinvolgono, ci toccano e ci fanno sperimentare passioni spesso laceranti, ci muovono dentro e al fianco dei personaggi sullo schermo, e ce ne fanno condividere la sorte e i sentimenti nella forma di unesperienza di partecipazione che si prolunga ben oltre lultimo fotogramma. Allincrocio tra semiotica e fenomenologia, il libro esplora le complesse dinamiche cognitive ed emotive al centro dellesperienza cinematografica, rinnovando il dibattito teorico attorno a temi di grande attualita, come quelli delle passioni e del corpo.

Il cinema di Lanzmann non e solo il cinema della Shoah, dellOlocausto, come ancora alcuni preferiscono denominare la piu grande tragedia del ventesimo secolo, ma e una continua riflessione, un work in progress di carattere squisitamente intellettuale, sul potere del cinema, sui valori della liberta, della resistenza, della politica, della guerra e della strategia per la sopravvivenza; ognuna di queste tematiche si ripresenta di film in film (sia in Shoah che nelle opere dedicate alla delicata situazione socio-politica di Israele), evidenziando come tutti e cinque i film del regista francese siano, in fondo, ununica grande riflessione sul cinema come urgenza del pensiero.

Film comico, film a episodi, film opera, film rivista, western italiano... Pur essendo tra i periodi meno studiati nella storia del cinema nazionale, i primi anni Cinquanta schiudono una sorprendente varieta di pratiche di genere, talvolta effimere, talvolta destinate a perdurare. Il volume interroga quel cinema attraverso lindagine dei legami con la tradizione realista, il confronto con i piu accreditati modelli di teoria dei generi cinematografici, lanalisi comparata di figure e topoi ricorrenti. Lobiettivo e quello di capire in che modo e attraverso quali procedimenti testuali esso da vita, se non a generi nel senso solitamente attribuito al termine, sicuramente a film di genere, riconoscibili come tali a partire dalle attrazioni che propongono.

The wives of the Robertsons all came into the family the same way: they fell in love with one of the Robertson boys. In the Duck DynastyTV series, the women often come into their own when the whole family gathers around the table together to eat dinner, and fans of the show get a good glimpse into their lives, but that is hardly the whole story, which is why they decided to write this book... In The Women of Duck Commander, the wives show how they have worked together to help one another and to support the family in all its work and its happiness. They are committed to timeless values, and in the book they share the insights, stories and experiences that have made them who they are. The appeal of the Duck Dynastycomes, not because they are showing us anything new, but they are reminding us of the values our culture is in danger of losing.
