COINCIDIENDO CON EL 80 ANIVERSARIO DE "QUE BELLO ES VIVIR" EL PROXIMO NOVIEMBRE, LLEGARÁ A LAS PANTALLAS UN BIOPIC SOBRE JAMES STEWART.
Hay figuras cuya vida parece escrita con la misma precisión con la que se construyen los grandes relatos clásicos. James Stewart fue una de ellas: un hombre que transitó con naturalidad entre la luz de Hollywood y la sombra de la guerra, entre la fragilidad emocional y la épica más …

LAS CINCO PELICULAS QUE CONSIGUIERON UN PLENO DE PREMIOS EN LA HISTORIA DE LOS OSCAR.
En la historia de los Premios Oscar abundan las películas que lograron convertir alguna de sus nominaciones en victoria. Muchas incluso han conseguido pleno… aunque fuera con una o dos candidaturas. Pero si ampliamos el criterio y observamos únicamente aquellos filmes que tenían al menos cuatro nominaciones y…

Just rewatched #LostHorizon (1937) on #Tubi, a #FrankCapra movie starring #RonaldColeman & co-starring #JaneWyatt, for the 1s time in years.
I've got this #movie on #DVD but the one on Tubi is the restored 132 min movie; the one that I have on DVD is a shorter cut version.
The movie is about finding the mythical city of #ShangraLa in the #Himalayas. It's a great movie & a "must see," if you're a movie buff & if you've never seen it before.
It's in B&W. They have the full sound track but 6-7 mins of the film was never found in useable condition. I'd rate it 9 out of 10.

Utter delight to have the Filmhouse back for its first Christmas season in years, and It's a Wonderful Life still wove its eternal magic today.
Jimmy Stewart, freshly back from the horrors he saw in the war, comrades lost in front of his yes, here trying to return to acting in a movie that moves through darkness to hope & love. Wonderful.

Day off tomorrow, and have tickets booked to matinee screening of It's a Wonderful Life at my beloved Filmhouse.
First festive screenings since the FH reopened in the summer, after several years without it, so for me it is a little like going back to Bedford Falls. Hello, box office, hello cafe!!

#IllanElokuva. Joulukuisin olen jo monta vuotta yrittänyt välttää väkivaltaisia ohjelmia, jopa muotiin tulleita ”kotoisia murhia”. Tämmöistä hömppää saa katsoa, vaikka parasta tietenkin olisivat #FrankCapra'n tai #DouglasSirk'in tapaiset tekijät.

Je suis en arrêt maladie à la suite d’une petite opération (rien de grave pas d’inquiétude !), et pendant deux semaines je n’ai pas dessiné une seule fois. Le plus inquiétant, c’est que ça ne m’a pas du tout manqué... hier j’ai quand même fait quelques croquis après avoir vu le formidable New York-Miami de #frankcapra

Oggi 18 maggio, nel 1897, nasce il regista italiano naturalizzato statunitense Frank Capra
Frank Russell Capra, nome originario Francesco Rosario Capra, nasce il 18 maggio 1897 a Bisacquino, in provincia di Palermo. Emigrato a sei anni con la famiglia in California, a Los Angeles, nel 1922 dirige il cortometraggio "Fultah Fisher's Boarding House. La sua prima regia di un lungometraggio è "La grande sparata".
Il primo film totalmente sonoro, invece, è "L'affare Donovan", una detective story del 1929.
Il successo straordinario arriva con "Accadde una notte", che vince gli Oscar per la migliore regia, per il miglior film, per la migliore attrice protagonista, per il migliore attore protagonista e per la migliore sceneggiatura.
Tra il 1936 e il 1941 conquista trentuno candidature e sei premi Oscar con soli cinque film.
Dopo "La vita è meravigliosa", del 1946 va incontro a un declino professionale accentuato dalla diminuzione della sua creatività.
Poco più che sessantenne abbandona l'attività cinematografica, scegliendo di ritirarsi: muore il 3 settembre 1991 a La Quinta alla età di 94 anni. -

It's NOT a wonderful life when #ClimateChange is involved!
Oscar-Winning Director #FrankCapra Made an Educational Science Film Warning of Climate Change in 1958
in Education, Environment, Film, Science | July 15th, 2024
"Shown on American TV and later in US classrooms, The Unchained Goddess explains what weather is, and how weather works. And, really quite presciently, it talks about the risk of man-made climate change … in 1958. One of the narrators declares:
"Even now, man may be unwittingly changing the world’s climate through the waste products of its civilization. Due to our releases in #factories and #automobiles every year of more than six billion tons of #CarbonDioxide, which helps the air absorb heat from the sun, our atmosphere may be getting warmer.
"And is that bad, the question gets asked?:
'Well, it’s been calculated a few degrees rise in the Earth’s temperature would melt the polar ice caps. And if this happens, an inland sea would fill a good portion of the Mississippi valley. Tourists in glass bottom boats would be viewing the drowned towers of Miami through 150 feet of tropical water. For in weather, we’re not only dealing with forces of a far greater variety than even the atomic physicist encounters, but with life itself.'"
