Postmodern Film
Approach - The Naked Kiss
Sam Fuller's film deals with a controversial subject that
must have been totally taboo at the time. The director's pluck and enthusiasm
might not be enough to overcome some other defects.
Postmodern Film
Approach: Papillon
Papillon is a truly exciting story. Franklin J. Schaffner's
film of Henri Charriere's account of his time at Devil's Island may not be a
great picture, but it does contain a sequence that is truly exceptional.
Postmodern Film
Approach: The Lady Eve
The great philosopher Stanley Cavell has tried to introduce

numerous examples of many different aspects of film studies and, apart from the
film itself, has a lot of mystique and controversy connected with it. These are
some short notes on the first fifteen minutes or so.
Postmodern Film
Approach - The Day of the Jackal
This is a brief musing on Zinneman's adaptation of Fredric
Forsythe's first novel. The level of craftsmanship may be higher than that of
the source material.
Postmodern Film Approach:
SHUTTER
Shutter - Of course, even before entering the theater, I
knew that going to check out the latest J-horror film Shutter would involve
putting up with fifty 10-14 year olds shrieking out fake screams of terror,
making snide comments at the screen loud enough for everybody in the theater to
hear, and texting and talking on their cell phones throughout the picture. This

that the cinema could be a place housing art as important as any museum doesn't
occur to kids this age.
Postmodern Film
Approach - The Killers (Part 2)
This is the second part of a continuing look at Robert
Siodmak's film The Killers. This film is important in the history of cinema for
many different reasons.
