1953130182Stockholm: Svensk Filmindustri 1953. Original Swedish poster for the 1953 film. <br /> <br /> A rich powerful Bergman film that charts the frustrations and humiliations of several performers in a traveling circus troupe.

A major step forward for Bergman in terms of thematic use of light and shadow to not only provide atmosphere but to evoke the feelings of the characters at hand. <br /> <br /> 27.5 x 39 inches. Lightly restored linen-backed and rolled. Near Fine. Svensk Filmindustri unknown

1960125095London: Michael Powell Theatre 1960. Vintage British Advance Poster for the classic 1960 film. The British Double Crown poster for the film turns up from time to time but this Advance issue which does not state the film's title is a rarity. <br /> <br /> Noted director Powell's most controversial film about a serial killer who films his female victims as they are dying. Reviled by critics on its release and today considered a masterpiece it is the second of three feature films director made after parting ways with his longtime filmmaking partner Emeric Pressburger. Ostensibly a film about a killer with serious Freudian issues but later reassessed as much more conceptual and complex. Roger Ebert pointed out famously in his 1999 review of the film that the audience is implicated as much as the killer."Movies make us into voyeurs. We sit in the dark watching other people's lives. It is the bargain the cinema strikes with us although most films are too well-behaved to mention it."<br /> <br /> Martin Scorsese is probably the most famous fan of the film and takes Ebert's argument further saying "I have always felt that "Peeping Tom" and "8 " say everything that can be said about filmmaking about the process of dealing with film the objectivity and subjectivity of it and the confusion between the two. "8 " captures the glamour and enjoyment of film-making while "Peeping Tom" shows the aggression of it how the camera violates. From studying them you can discover everything about people who make films or at least people who express themselves through films."<br /> <br /> 30 x 20 inches.

1960133246Italy: Nepi Film 1960. Vintage oversize double weight borderless photograph from the 1961 film. A candid on-the-set photograph of director Michelangelo Antonioni cinematographer Gianni Di Venanzo Jeanne Moreau and others working on a balcony shot part of the long party sequence that makes up the last third of the film. <br /> <br /> The second film in the trilogy that begins with "L'Avventura" 1960 and ends with "L'Eclisse" 1962. Shot on location in Milan. <br /> <br /> Probably no one has ever said it better than Bosley Crowther who reviewed the film for the New York Times in 1961: "Too sensitive and subtle for apt description are Antonioni's pictorial fashionings of a social atmosphere a rarefied intellectual climate a psychologically stultifying milieu-and his haunting evocations within them of individual symbolisms and displays of mental and emotional aberrations. Even boredom is made interesting. There is for instance a sequence in which a sudden downpour turns a listless garden party into a riot of foolish revelry exposing the lack of stimulation before nature takes a flagellating hand. Or there's a shot of the crumpled wife leaning against a glass wall looking out into the rain that tells in a flash of all her ennui desolation and despair."<br /> <br /> In a custom museum-quality frame archivally mounted with UV glass. 9 x 12 inches.

1929137372Budapest: Hunnia Filmstudio 1929. Specially bound copy of an Early Draft script for the Hungarian film released in Hungry in 1932 as "Tavaszi zapor" in Frace in 1933 as "Marie Legende Hongroise" and in the United States in 1935 as "Spring Shower." Housed in a likely hand-sewn floral cloth-covered portfolio the script is INSCRIBED by the Hungarian-American feminist and radical socialist screenwriter Ilona Fulop on the title page: "To Mac: / Because You still trust me! / Ilona / Christmas 1929 / Hollywood Cal." A unique and attractive item and probably the only surviving copy of the script. <br /> <br /> The story of a poor girl driven out of her village when she becomes pregnant by her employer's wealthy fiance finding refuge working as a maid in a brothel. After her daughter is taken from her however she falls into alcoholism and dies. A maid in Heaven as she was on earth she saves her daughter from befalling a similar fate by "emptying her mop bucket" on her daughter's head via a rain shower at a pivotal moment. <br /> <br /> A multinational production in which a Hungarian screenwriter and Hungarian director both with experience in Hollywood shot a film starring a French actress using frozen assets from a French producer that had been mandated for exclusively Hungarian use. Though not a box office success at the time it is now regarded as one of the all-time great films originating from the country. In a 1919 article entitled "What is 'Revolution' Doing to Love" screenwriter Fulop describes herself as a socialist radical as opposed to a revolutionary or a Bolshevik and her desire to further equal rights for women strongly defines her as a modern-day feminist as well. "Spring Showers" with its women- and proletarian-friendly plot thus comes as little surprise. <br /> <br /> Housed in floral cloth-covered portfolio titled wrappers. Title page present with credits for screenwriter Fulop. 78 leaves with last page of text numbered 77. Carbon typescript.
