“Soldiers in petticoats” on the British screen
Les suffragettes ont longtemps été stéréotypées et ridiculisées sur les écrans britanniques, reprenant les représentations dominantes de la culture populaire. Souvent utilisée pour ancrer les récits dans l'Angleterre édouardienne, la figure de la suffragette a aussi été très tôt utilisée pour incarner toutes sortes de rébellion et l'aspiration des femmes à plus de liberté. Cependant, le trait le plus frappant concernant la représentation des suff…
“The man who wasn’t there”—and was “out there”
Notwithstanding Joel Coen’s tongue-in-cheek comment that his film is “about a good guy, a bad guy, and a guy in between”, the main characters of No Country for Old Men have evinced much perplexity. In particular, Chigurh, who has been deemed one of the most chilling villains in cinema history, defies any univocal archetypal definition that would readily apply to such character type. The present article focuses on the character of Chigurh in the C…
Tell Me Lies (Peter Brook, 1968) or How I Learned to Start Worrying about Vietnam
The Vietnam War has been dubbed the world’s first “television war”. No war had been broadcast as widely before, leading to numerous documentaries both during and after the war. Moreover, no war has triggered as much protest from civilians around the world, which also generated a number of films that documented these protest movements. At first sight Tell Me Lies may seem one of them, documenting some of the counterculture movement in the UK at th…
In the Name of the British People
At a time when the British political scene and media environment have been saturated with references to “the people” and “the people’s voice”, films may seem the ideal means to question what it means to “represent” something or someone, and reveal how the term of “people”, while being overused and misused, offers a floating signifier that conjures up all types of projections. This article focuses on three films whose reception has been skewed by …
Gender and Generic Clashes in The Years Between (Compton Bennett, 1946)
Because of the enduring success of her novels and her short stories, Daphne Du Maurier is not immediately associated with the theatre except through her father. The Years Between, her first original play, was, however, a popular success. While the play ends up celebrating the Allies’ forthcoming victory, five months before VE Day, what is striking is its very bitter tone as it dramatises the upheaval that society is about to face. This bitterswee…
Recasting the Iron Lady into Flesh and Blood
This article analyzes how three Margaret Thatcher biopics, produced twenty years or so after she stepped down from power, have portrayed the highly controversial former British Prime Minister. In keeping with the conventional approach of the biopic genre, the three films typically shift focus from the public to the private figure, but they also bring a more specific answer, reading Thatcher's career from a gendered perspective. Thus the films "hu…
