Med sitt unika berättande förändrade Woody Allen filmhistorien. Sedan kom tiden, och anklagelser om sexuella övergrepp, ikapp honom. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Den amerikanske regissören Woody Allen är en av filmkonstens mest uppburna personer. Han har slagit rekord i antal Oscarsnomineringar, erövrat filmfestivaler, turnerat världen runt och hyllats för sina skildringar av hemstaden New York. I sju decennier har biobesökare tjusats av Woody Allens rappa, komiska dialog och känt igen sig i hans relationsskildringar. Men det senaste decenniet har kantats av något annat än framgångar. När anklagelser om sexuella övergrepp från det tidiga 90-talet åter kom upp till ytan under MeToo-rörelsen blev Woody Allen i praktiken canceled. Frågan är vad som händer med ett konstnärskap som sträcker sig över ett halvt sekel när det synas utifrån nya perspektiv, och en ny moral.Avsnittet är gjort våren 2024 av produktionsbolaget DIST.I avsnittet medverkar P1 Kulturs journalist Lisa Bergström, programledaren Fredrik Wikingsson och författaren Caroline Ringskog Ferrada-Noli.Programledare: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsmakare och reporter: Tobias NorströmLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonLjudklippen i programmet är hämtade från Amazon studios, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sveriges Radio, HBO MAX, Arcade Publishing, PBS, AP, France24.

They didn't see each other outside of what they referred to as ‘the work', they didn't know the classes they were going to each week had anything to do with the teachings of Russian philosophers, and they didn't tell anyone outside what it was they were attending two nights each week. Full research sources listed here.

Perhaps one of the most well known Cold Cases in American History is the murder and mutilation of Elizabeth Short, or as she is probably better known: The Black Dahlia. This week, the CCC dives into the case, re-telling Elizabeth's story, discussing known facts and debunking common myths that are often mistaken for fact. We also explore the primary suspect in the Dahlia case, Dr. George Hill Hodel. It's a story whose headlines were written for Hollywood. Join Ashley, Beth and Whitney as they share The Black Dahlia: The Murder of Elizabeth Short, a 1947 Cold Case local to Los Angeles, California. #TheBlackDahlia #ElizabethShort #BethShort #ElizabethBettyShort #ColdCase #UnsolvedHomicide #Mutilation #BiSection #GlasgowSmile #Unsolved #ColdCasesOfCalifornia #LosAngeles #ColdCasesOfLosAngeles #JeanneFrench #1947 #HollywoodHistory To see the unedited photographs of the Elizabeth Short Crime Scene: https://reelreviews.com/shorttakes-56/morbidly-hollywood-no-ad/black-dahlia-death3_____________________________________________________________________________________References:Books:Hodel, Steve. “The Black Dahlia Avenger: The True Story.” Ed. 1.

Today on Salt Lake Dirt I welcome back Bruce Wagner. If you listened to our last episode with Bruce you know that he is one of my favorite authors. He was kind enough to return to talk about his latest novel ROAR: American Master, The Oral Biography of Roger Orr. ROAR recently came out on Arcade Publishing and it's the kind of book that I didn't want to end - it is simply that good. I highly recommend it. Thanks for listening! --- Synopsis of Roar (Source: Arcade Publishing): A new novel by Hollywood's "master of satire." The myth of an epic, public life—its triumphs and tragedies—is a particularly American obsession. ROAR is a metafictional exploration of such a life and attendant fame of an extraordinary, and completely made up, man. Born in Nashville in 1940 and adopted by a wealthy San Francisco couple, Roger Orr—“Roar”—became an underground stand-up comedian with a cult following while still in his teens, segueing to an acclaimed songwriter in the Sixties. In the decades that followed, his talent spanned the worlds of entertainment, from film directing and books to fine art (paintings, sculpture). His promethean energies expanded to the world of medicine; he became a dermatologist, the first to patent cadaver skin for burn victims. A spiritual seeker who returned to India throughout his life, Roar was also a voracious lover of both men and women. The journey of Roger Orr was a premonition of the cultural earthquakes to come. It wasn't until his 40s that Roar learned his birth mother was black and it wasn't until his early 60s when he began the hormonal treatment and surgeries that chipped away at the armor covering what he always knew was his true identity: that of a woman. Roar's saga is best told by a cacophony of voices—family members, critics, historians, and the famous (Meryl Streep, Amanda Gorman, Dave Chappelle, Andy Warhol)—including some heard from the grave. In ROAR, Wagner brilliantly paints a vivid picture of one man, our times, and our culture's enduring obsession with fame.

30 Avenue Montaigne, Christian Dior's atelier in Paris, opened its doors on 16th December 1946. His staff had just six weeks to get it ready for their first show on February 12th, 1947 - the landmark post-war collection that became known as ‘the New Look'. Bettina Ballard, fashion editor of Vogue, wrote: “Never has there been a moment more climatically right for a Napoleon, an Alexander the Great, a Caesar of the couture. Paris fashion was waiting to be seized and shaken and given direction. There has never been an easier or more complete conquest than that of Christian Dior in 1947."  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly unpick Dior's business decisions; explain how a connection with the British Royal family was cultivated and exploited to promote his nascent brand; and consider why he became known as ‘the tyrant of hemlines'...  Further Reading: • ‘Christian Dior: The New Look' (The Metrolpolitan Museum of Art): https://artsandculture.google.com/story/kwWhkHJ-Ok8UIg?hl=en • ‘Christian Dior - The Man who Made the World Look New, By Marie France Pochna' (Arcade Publishing, 1996): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Christian_Dior/ffkK4dy00SoC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=30+Avenue+Montaigne&pg=PA113&printsec=frontcover • ‘“Haute-Couture”: The world of Monsieur Dior in his own words' (Dir.

Mitch takes questions from the Seattle media right before his legendary performance on the roof of the Space Needle.Endnotes:Ali Wong, Dear Girls; Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets & Advice for Living Your Best Life (New York, Random House, 2019), p.* Capsule Review: framed as letters of advice to Wong's daughters, but otherwise disconnected and rambling, with predictable pop-cultural analogizing and confessional pre-sex grooming ritual semi-jokes often repurposed from her specials. Another example of a comedian eventually rising to some degree of fame and success less from funny demeanour or clever joke writing than by relentless careerism. Likely more relevant for readers that are women, Asian, interested in reproduction and bodily fluids and/or functions related to reproduction.

They took an oath of absolute secrecy and lived in a covert world in plain sight. “It didn't look like a cult. I was relieved. Nobody was in black robes chanting. No kids running around in rags with faraway gazes. Just a bunch of young professionals––hedge funders, doctors, entrepreneurs, lawyers––in a secret loft in Tribeca. They looked, I realized, a lot like me,” says Spencer Schneider. “I had no way to possibly know they were brainwashed––hollowed out souls––under the clutches of a leader every bit as twisted and commanding as Jim Jones.”This is Schneider's true story of how he got entangled in a cult known only as "School," why he stayed, and how––impossibly––he got out after twenty-three years. It's a cautionary tale about the power of group psychology and how anyone can be radicalized. It's also a story of resiliency and freedom.A native of Long Island, Spencer Schneider is practicing attorney who specializes in corporate litigation in New York.

Polish cops and Greek fishermen, mercenaries and arms dealers, child prostitutes and wannabe terrorists, Indian Chiefs and Indian tailors: he hung with them all in an unparalleled international career that saw him smuggle banned plays from behind the Iron Curtain, maneuver through Occupied Territories, represent the U.S. at the highest levels of foreign governments, and stowaway aboard a ‘devil's barge' for a three-day crossing from Cape Verde that landed him in an African jail.Awards Timothy has received include the Gold Medal in the 2017 Faulkner-Wisdom  Competition for the Novel, and his screenplay adaptation of it was named Best Indie Script by WriteMovies.

MISS SAIGON COMPOSER: Claude-Michel Schonberg LYRICIST: Richard Maltby Jr & Alain Boublil BOOK: Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schonberg SOURCE: Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly (1904) DIRECTOR: Nicholas Hytner CHOREOGRAPHER: Bob Avian PRINCIPLE CAST: Willy Falk (Chris), Jonathan Pryce (Engineer), Lea Salonga (Kim) OPENING DATE: Apr 11, 1991 CLOSING DATE: Jan 28, 2001 PERFORMANCES: 4,092 SYNOPSIS: In war torn Saigon, Chris, an American soldier, meets Kim, a sex worker lorded over by The Engineer, and begins a romance that produces a child. When Chris returns to America, Kim, dutifully and tragically, awaits his return to rescue her and his son.   A discussion of the impact of Miss Saigon on the casting industry and on the AAPI community. A film documenting the casting of Lea Salonga in the leading role sheds light on the racist and patriarchal process facing the young actors auditioning for the protagonist and a survey of public correspondence from Actors Equity representatives, critics, and artists illustrates the racism present in the casting of white actor, Jonathan Pryce in the role of a Eurasian character. Postcolonial theorists have written extensively about the troubling implications of the show's commercial success. This chapter seeks to outline the shortcomings in the Asian and Eurasian representation in Miss Saigon while envisioning possible futures for racially-charged stories on the commercial stage.

Margo Catts’ new novel Among the Lesser Gods (Arcade Publishing, 2017) opens in 1978, as Elena Alvarez, a newly minuted physics graduate living in LA, discovers she’s pregnant.  She considers it to be just one more mistake in a lifetime of screw-ups.  Her mother abandoned her after she accidentally set a deadly fire as a child, and she was raised by her cold distant father. She felt loved only when visiting her grandmother, who divides her time between the town of Leadville, Colorado, and a rustic mountain cabin in an old abandoned mining town.  When her grandmother writes to ask Elena to come and babysit for two children whose mother is “gone,” Elena accepts with hopes that she can put off making any real decisions about her future. Through her grandmother’s stories, Elena starts to understand her father’s remoteness, and as the children she babysits become more attached to her, she starts to understand herself.  “It seems a person is never finished learning about sorrow…”  Elena’s internal conflicts, metaphysical musings, and reflections on family and forgiveness are all part of the stunning landscape.  Then the two children go missing, and Elena is forced to confront the guilt that has followed her since childhood.

My students don’t remember Vietnam. That’s hard to believe, for someone born in 1968. But it’s true, nonetheless. High school history courses rarely make it past World War Two. The Cold War and the Berlin Wall are mysteries. And Vietnam, unless someone in their family fought there, is just a country. But most, if not all, of my students have heard of the Vietnam Memorial. They may not know what or who it commemorates. But they’ve seen it on class trips, or in textbooks. And they universally praise its power and simplicity. So, unless you’re my age, it’s hard to imagine the bitterness and divisions which greeted Maya Lin’s memorial. In his new book A Rift in the Earth: Art, Memory and the Fight for a Vietnam War Memorial (Arcade Publishing, 2017), James Reston, Jr. retells this story in a way that brings it alive again. Reston brings a journalist’s eye for character and narrative to the book. Several authors have told this tale, but Reston is by far the best at bringing the story to life. Less interested in putting this memorial into the broader context of memorialization in the 1970s, he instead concentrates on retelling the story and on explaining to a modern audience why it matters. And, when you’ve finished the narrative heart of the book, you suddenly learn why the story seems so personal and important to Reston. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University. He’s the author of four modules in the Reacting to the Pastseries, including The Needs of Others: Human Rights, International Organizations and Intervention in Rwanda,1994.

“How do you govern a country that produces 365 kinds of cheese?” What puzzled Charles de Gaulle inspired Francoise Branget, the author of French Country Cooking: Authentic Recipes from Every Region (Arcade Publishing, 2012).She too is a politician, yet she managed to achieve consensus among a group better known for dissent. She asked 180 of her fellow deputies in the French General Assembly to provide a traditional recipe from their region. (Don’t be surprised if one of them is now the prime minister of France.) What emerges through the most cunning means is a portrait of “deep France” (la France profonde). No matter how many French cookbooks you have read, this book is the food of a France you do not know. It is the France of past generations and poorer times, when one ate only what one grew or raised. Yet the limited ingredients, combined with ingenuity of country women feeding their families, produced remarkable flavors. This is the genius upon which all French cuisine rests. The book contains the common (18 different recipes using potatoes), the delectable (salmon steamed over cabbage, duck pot-au-feu, Breton apple cake) and the adventurous (roasted pig’s head). Nothing is out of bounds. Our interview is with the book’s English translator, Jeannette Seaver, herself the author of four cookbooks. A Parisian who is the publisher of Arcade Publishing, she received France’s highest citizen award, the Legion of Honor, in 2012 for her services to French culture. And culture is what this book conveys, through its unique format of haunting photography, a map on each page, and evocative introductions from contributors (“made by my grandmother,” “enjoyed since early childhood at Sunday dinners”). These are the recipes that shape the life of the table in France. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
