Book excerpt: "It's about the excitement at the start of a magical love affair." "It's about being in love, everyone knows apart from the person you're in love with." "It's about a fear of the dark which can be conquered by somebody you love being there." "It's about the end of a possibility, the end of hope." "It's about dreaming." "It's about escape and flying." "It's about winning." "It's about an idealistic gay utopia, but looking back in hindsight it wasn't the utopia they all thought it would be." "It's about how cities come and go." "It's about my childhood." "It's about the end of a relationship." "It's about someone I know." "It's about people not believing each other." "It's about not being disappointed." "It's about being disappointed." "It's about how you can almost be there, without getting there." "It's about class, about rough boys getting a bit of posh." "It's about growing old, and that when you've reached a certain age you've survived this far, you're still alive." "It's about waiting for someone to tell you they love you." "It's about saying goodbye." 'Beautiful Mess was written between the years 1987/1997. They are explorations and observations, they part document my ever changing attitudes. I present to you, a twilight world of neon and the unknown, of secret dreams and deals, of contrasting morals and different codes where the young are the heroes and the losers are saints, where the ugly is beautiful and the beautiful more beautiful, in the gutter where gold is found, we are all just a beautiful mess.' Mark Binmore. London 1998.

Download or read book Life 24x a Second written by Elsie Walker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Life 24x a Second: cinema, selfhood, and society is about the life-sustaining and life-affirming power of cinema. As we confront the devastating reality of the Covid-19 pandemic, our obligation to explain the value of all artistic expression and pedagogical practice has surely never been greater. Life 24x a Second: cinema, selfhood, and society adopts multiple perspectives on why films matter, with special attention to hearing the soundtracks that move through our bodies and which we can carry with us into the world at large. Drawing on work by authors across disparate fields of literature, business, psychology, biological science, cinema, autobiographical, and cultural studies, this book makes the case for cinema as a life force on the biggest emotional, personal, and social terms, and in ways that can resonate for any reader. The book zeroes in on films that offer hope in relation to the Black Lives Matter (Imitation of Life (1959) and BlacKkKlansman (2018)), contemporary feminism (Nobody Knows (2004)), teachings of Heartmath (Dancer in the Dark (2000)), realities of grief and mourning that we all face (Life of Pi (2012), Ikiru (1952), and A Star Is Born (2018)), and a most personal experience of loss (Call Me By Your Name (2017) and Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)). Life 24x a Second: cinema, selfhood, and society draws directly upon many pedagogical experiences and students' reflections to show that these films can move us toward the creation of a better world for ourselves and others"--

Download or read book Lars von Trier's Cinema written by Rebecca Ver Straten-McSparran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a bold and dynamic examination of Lars von Trier’s cinema by interweaving philosophy and theology with close attention to aesthetics through style and narrative. It explores the prophetic voice of von Trier's films, juxtaposing them with Ezekiel's prophecy and Ricoeur’s symbols of evil, myth, and hermeneutics of revelation. The films of Lars von Trier are categorized as extreme cinema, inducing trauma and emotional rupture rarely paralleled, while challenging audiences to respond in new ways. This volume argues that the spiritual, biblical content of the films holds a key to understanding von Trier’s oeuvre of excess. Spiritual conflict is the mechanism that unpacks the films’ notorious excess with explosive, centrifugal force. By confronting the spectator with spiritual conflict through evil, von Trier's films truthfully and prophetically expose the spectator’s complicity in personal and structural evil, forcing self-examination through theological themes, analogous to the prophetic voice of the transgressive Hebrew prophet Ezekiel, his prophecy, and its form of delivery. Placed in context with the prophetic voices of Dante, Milton, Dostoyevsky, O’Connor, and Tarkovsky, this volume offers a theoretical framework beyond von Trier. It will be of great interest to scholars in Film Studies, Film and Philosophy, Film and Theology.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

Download or read book Lars von Trier's Women written by Rex Butler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Danish director Lars von Trier is undoubtedly one of the world's most important and controversial filmmakers, and arguably so because of the depiction of women in his films. He has been criticized for subjecting his female characters to unacceptable levels of violence or reducing them to masochistic self-abnegation, as with Bess in Breaking the Waves, 'She' in Antichrist and Joe in Nymphomaniac. At other times, it is the women in his films who are dominant or break out in violence, as in his adaptation of Euripides' Medea, the conclusion of Dogville and perhaps throughout Nymphomaniac. Lars von Trier's Women confronts these dichotomies head on. Editors Rex Butler and David Denny do not take a position either for or against von Trier, but rather consider how both attitudes fall short of the real difficulty of his films, which may simply not conform to any kind of feminist or indeed anti-feminist politics as they are currently configured. Using Lacanian psychoanalysis and acknowledging the work of prior scholars on the films, Lars von Trier's Women reveals hidden resources for a renewed 'feminist' politics and social practice.

Book excerpt: From bus rides to bars, to encounters with friends and family and most importantly with strangers, Larry Gross lives his life out loud by drawing on the small slices of life, the little things most people don’t notice. “There is no artifice in Gross’s art. What distinguishes his writing is his knack for seeing and hearing things worth remembering. His pastiche draws on the commonality of urban life, with many of his stories set in downtown bars or on the buses that take him there. The main character is No One Special, a person who appears in various guises, capable of both unfettered generosity and burdensome peevishness.” Gregory Flannery, Managing Editor, Streetvibes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1650. This romantic adventure begins in Spain and continues with a long voyage to the Highlands of Scotland. Flora Gastelum, a smart, talented and very strong-willed woman lives in Barcelona. At one time, her life was very comfortable, but then the lies meant to protect her ripple to the surface. Jose, an evil uncle, confesses that he murdered her beloved father and a near rape forces her into a life and culture she never dreamed of. Flora is faced with a bleak choice: Stay in Spain living with greed, certain unhappiness and possible death, or take the risk of a new life, continued adventure, and a future unknown. Jose’s son had hoped to marry Flora, but now all he hopes for is revenge, and has vowed to track her to the ends of the earth if need be. Believing her mother to be shallow and unfaithful, as well as fearing for her own life, she leaves her ancestral home with Moray MacLeod, who offers her freedom by taking her to his castle in the Highlands of Scotland. Moray MacLeod, Laird of Clan MacLeod, is a Highlander known for his power and rugged good looks. A strong and virtuous man, he possesses a tender heart when it comes to the people he loves. Bound by honor and intrigue from a promise his dead father made, he hurls himself into danger that threatens his life and the life of the woman he has fallen deeply in love with. Their voyage to Scotland takes them to a small trading port called Vigo. A storm nearly sinks their boat and forces them to dock in need of replenishing supplies. To their surprise, they find Antonio, a six-year-old child who has been missing from Spain. Flora and many others in Barcelona had been near desperate to find him, but after months of searching all hope was lost. Bruised, beaten and badly scarred from a whip, the child finds allies who are willing to care and protect him. An entire clan of fearless warriors bond with Antonio, each man finding a place in their hearts for an orphan child. Flora and Moray find happiness neither one expected, but will the dangers, lies and evil in Spain follow her to Scotland, threatening to destroy the life and country she’s grown to love?

Book excerpt: I thought I'd live in silence forever . . . and then I met him. I'll never be able to hear, but music has always been a source of comfort for me. Rather than listen to the rhythm, I can actually feel the beat pulsing through me. It's pure bliss. So the moment I saw Thorin playing his guitar, I was mesmerized. I'd never seen anything more beautiful . . . or intimate. I couldn't tell where his body ended and the song began. He's everything I need in my life . . . I'm falling fast, hard, and deep. I want him more than anything. But while I live in silence, Thor lives in secrets. He's holding something back-something that's keeping this intensity, this longing from being real. And the silence may be too loud to bear . . .
