Jaume Segalés y su equipo comentan asuntos de la actualidad y traen las mejores recomendaciones culturales. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: "Riesgo" - Festival de Circo de la Comunidad de Madrid Ayer comenzó la 2ª edición de Riesgo, el Festival de Circo que organiza la Comunidad de Madrid. Podemos disfrutarlo en los Teatros del Canal (c/ Cea Bermúdez, 1) hasta el domingo 1 de marzo. Acrobacias, malabarismos, manipulación de objetos, danza, teatro, música en directo, de todo... en los espectáculos programados, procedentes de España, Bélgica, Francia, Suiza y Canadá. Una propuesta, especialmente dirigida al público juvenil y adulto, que reivindica la dramaturgia del riesgo como máxima expresión de este arte. Una excelente selección de las tendencias heterogéneas del circo actual, que combina diversos lenguajes y corrientes artísticas. Riesgo busca así ampliar el imaginario colectivo y crear nuevos referentes del arte circense. Entrevistamos a la directora artística del Festival Riesgo, Eva Luna. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre "Cómo casarse con un millonario" (How to Marry a Millionaire). Comedia estadounidense de 1953 dirigida por Jean Negulesco, con Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall y Betty Grable en los papeles principales. Fue la primera película rodada en Cinemascope, aunque su estreno fue posterior al de The Robe. Alcanzó un importante éxito de crítica y público, siendo la cuarta película más taquillera del año, y su argumento fue adaptado en 1957 para una sitcom que se emitió por televisión durante dos temporadas. Schatze Page (Lauren Bacall), Loco Dempsey (Betty Grable), y Pola Debevoise (Marilyn Monroe) son tres modelos cuyo sueño es casarse con un millonario. Para que se cumpla, alquilan un lujoso ático en Nueva York desde el que poder trazar un plan. Las tres acaban encontrando a un hombre rico, pero conforme va pasando el tiempo se van dando cuenta de que el amor es más importante que el dinero.

Topics covered include:Voice memos as audio documentaries, the difficulty of keeping things small, Sean seeing Marty Supreme three times in theaters, maximalist territory, swimming in bigger lakes, moviemaking as time travel, Jack Fisk set stories, directors' knee health, Jennifer Venditti's wildly original casting process, feeling afraid of the script, Sean perfectly timing his edible intake at the Oscars, Darius Khondji as the “Prince of Darkness,” hunting down period accurate Cinemascope lenses, Ronnie Bronstein's love of Shark Tank, and Marty Supreme's epic alternate ending.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2025/12/06/jose-arroyo-in-conversation-with-glyn-davis-on-rebel-without-a-cause-nicholas-ray-1955/ A treat to talk to the marvellous Glyn Davis on his handsome new book, the ‘BFI Classic' on Rebel Without a Cause (Nicholas Ray, 1955). In the podcast we discuss how we were both surprised that the film hadn't yet been covered in the series and why the book is the fulfilment of a long-standing wish of his. We discuss how the film established an iconic template for adolescent dissent and how James Dean became the embodiment of youthful American dissatisfaction and rebellion; Glyn compares Rebel to other films of the period such as The Wild One (Lázló Benedek, 1953) and Blackboard Jungle (Richard Brooks, 1955). We discuss the pros and cons of auteurist approaches; Glyn's findings in the LA Archives, Ray's concerns of filling the CinemaScope frame; his uses of colour (the film was originally designed for black and white); the film's unusual structure, how the film became a template for the teen film that extends to television (Dawson's Creek was named after the High School in Rebel); how Dean's extraordinary performance helped popularise and disseminate ‘The Method', how the figure of Plato has become central to subsequent queer cultures; and how Natalie Wood is often marginalised in discussions of the film. Glyn generously praises previous work on Ray and the film, particularly Bernard Eisenschitz' monumental Nicholas Ray: An American Journey and the extraordinarily detailed Live Fast, Die Young: The Wild Ride of Making Rebel Without A Cause by Lawrence Frascella and Al Weisel. A generous and articulate conversation on a book worth reading and discussing José Arroyo

A life lost way too soon at 24 years old, James Dean will always be remembered as one of Hollywood's greatest actors. Add to that feat the fact that he only had leading roles in three films and his potential becomes infinitely more devastating. In honoring him seventy years after his passing, Sophia and Nick look back at two of his films that were also released that same year: Elia Kazan's triumphant adaptation of John Steinbeck's epic novel, East of Eden, and Nicholas Ray's definitive portrait of 1950's America, Rebel Without a Cause (34:24). Listen as they discuss Dean's career highlights and how his performances stand out even among many other Oscar nominees (and a winner!) and CinemaScope beauty that transports us back in time.

The film spans this half-century and the narrative evolves from a wacky comedy to a stark and tragic tale of loss, as Maher and his wife Mary (Maureen O'Hara) continue to age as the continuum of young cadets come and go, some to die in combat through the two World Wars. We talk about Ford's innovations in the use of the then-new technology of CinemaScope, with his camera favouring the Z-axis (the depth of the widescreen image) to visually depict the theme of the film, life's vanishing points, with a protagonist who slowly realizes the lack of control he has over his own life, a film certainly influential on Scorsese's The Irishman, with Ford offering at once a tribute to West Point and a questioning of the futility of Maher's task, a lifetime spent training young men to die for their country. Follow Chris Cassingham on Twitter and Bluesky and subscribe to his new substack Dark Optimism.The Long Gray Line is currently available to watch for free (with ads) and in CinemaScope on YouTube and Tubi.
