Barry Lyndon non è un film lento. È un film che ti chiede di rallentare.In questa puntata analizziamo il capolavoro più “dipinto” di Stanley Kubrick, quello girato a lume di candela vero, con un obiettivo Zeiss progettato per la NASA e usato… per guardare l'uomo, non lo spazio. Barry Lyndon è il film su Napoleone che non sapevamo di volere. Parliamo di: • Fotografia rivoluzionaria (il leggendario 50mm f/0.7) • Zoom lentissimi come una minaccia morale • Carrellate infinite, joystick e proto-gaming • Destino già scritto, voce narrante onnisciente e sottrazione kubrickiana • Pittura del Settecento, cinema muto e tableaux vivants • Ryan O'Neal scelto non per bravura, ma per “faccia giusta” • Colonna sonora rubata ai morti: Händel, Schubert, The ChieftainsBarry Lyndon è il film che ha insegnato al cinema a respirare, a giudicare senza urlare, a guardarti mentre fai lo scemo.Un test di purezza cinefila: se lo ami, sei dentro. Se ti annoia… c'è sempre Emily in Paris.

Plongez dans l'histoire d'un nom qui hante encore l'île et les couloirs du pouvoir : Yvan Colonna, le tueur du préfet. Fils de berger et figure du nationalisme corse, Colonna grandit sur l'île de Beauté, au cœur d'un paysage tendu entre traditions, revendications identitaires et violences clandestines. Accusé d'être l'assassin du préfet Claude Érignac en 1998, il devient l'homme le plus recherché de France. Pendant des années, il échappe aux forces de l'ordre, vivant caché dans les maquis corses, protégé par un silence quasi sacré et un soutien populaire qui divise le pays. Son arrestation, puis ses procès, allument à chaque fois de nouvelles braises dans un dossier où s'entremêlent justice, identité, secrets d'État et colère populaire. Perpétuité pour la résistance Après quatre ans de cavale dans le maquis corse, Yvan Colonna est finalement arrêté en juillet 2003 et transféré à Paris, où il suit le procès du commando Érignac depuis sa prison. Malgré les rétractations et aveux partiels de ses complices, il est reconnu coupable de l'assassinat du préfet Erignac et condamné à perpétuité, confirmée à plusieurs reprises. Sa vie se déroule désormais derrière les barreaux, entre parloirs et isolement, jusqu'à ce qu'il soit mortellement agressé en 2022. Son décès déclenche une vive émotion en Corse, où il est célébré comme un martyr et un symbole du nationalisme corse.

La solidarité des maquisards Refusant de se laisser arrêter, il se cache dans le maquis corse, aidé par un réseau fidèle, tout en protégeant sa famille et en revendiquant son innocence par la presse. La police mobilise des moyens colossaux pour le traquer, mais il change d'apparence et d'identité, rendant sa capture impossible. Sa cavale, longue et isolée, fait de lui une figure emblématique du nationalisme corse, tandis que ses proches sont interrogés et relâchés. Pendant ce temps, les membres du commando sont jugés, mais Yvan reste introuvable.

L'arme utilisée provient du braquage de la gendarmerie de Pietrosella, liant d'emblée l'attentat aux milieux indépendantistes. L'enquête s'enlise : guerre des polices, indices perdus, fausses pistes et arrestations massives qui ne mènent à rien. Mais un an plus tard, les analyses téléphoniques ciblent enfin Ferrandi, Alessandri, Istria et Maranelli, interpellés et placés en garde à vue. Sous pression, les membres du commando avouent et désignent tous le même homme comme tireur : Yvan Colonna.

Identité Corse  Yvan Colonna grandit entre Ajaccio et Cargèse, bercé par une enfance libre et un profond attachement à la Corse. Le choc d'Aléria et l'exil forcé à Nice nourrissent en lui une conscience nationaliste qui ne fait que grandir. De retour sur l'île, il devient berger, mais reste proche des milieux militants les plus radicaux du FLNC. Dans les années 90, alors que le mouvement se déchire, Yvan choisit la ligne dure et rejoint la fraction clandestine qui refuse tout dialogue avec Paris. Jusqu'à participer, cagoulé, à l'attaque de la gendarmerie de Pietrosella en 1997, acte fondateur d'une escalade qui prépare la suite de la traque.

Marc and Jordan look at three shorts where characters that arguably should have been in one-shot cartoons are given a second, or fourth, chance. These include 'Greetings, Bait', starring The Wacky Worm, 'Cheese-It, The Cat', starring The Honeymousers, and 'Often An Orphan', starring the much-maligned Charlie Dog. Some of these work, and could have been longer running characters. Some show signs of limitations in their concepts. And some bring us to a two-minute-long laughing standstill.Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jonathan's GoFundMe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠

Send us a textAfter a summer hiatus “'Tis But A Scratch: Fact & Fiction About the Middle Ages” is back—well, not actually quite yet. I am busily working on the final two episodes of our series on the medieval papacy, “From Bishop of Rome to the Papal Monarchy.” I should have episode three on the Gregorian Reform and the Investiture Controversy out in a week or so.  But to tide you over, here is an episode on a related subject from a different podcast, “BEEF with Bridget Todd.” In it, Bridget Todd tells the story of the feud between Christendom's two most powerful rulers at the turn of the fourteenth century, Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip the Fair of France, a conflict that would determine the fate of the late medieval papacy. Making it even more relevant to this podcast, the script is by yours truly, Prof. Richard Abels. On September 7, 1303, William of Nogaret, chief legal advisor and fixer for King Philip IV of France, and Sciarra Colonna, a member of a powerful Italian family, led an armed band into the town of Anagni in the hills east of Rome. They had been told that Pope Boniface VIII had gone to the papal palace in Anagni, the town in which the pope had been born, to prepare a bull of excommunication against the French King.  Nogaret's mission was to seize the pope and compel him either to renounce the papacy on the spot or be brought back to France to stand trial before a general council.  Colonna, whose grievances were personal and familial, had his own agenda. He was prepared to kill the man who claimed to be God's vicar on earth if he proved stubborn. What later was to known as the Outrage of Anagni pitted the most powerful secular ruler in Christendom against the head of the Church to which he belonged.  Pope Boniface VIII was the spiritual leader of Christendom and claimed supreme God-given authority over the princes of the earth. As pope, he was also ruler of the papal states in Italy and the CEO of the largest and wealthiest, if most diffuse, corporation in Western Europe, a corporation that had extensive offices in France. It may not surprise you that the root of the conflict was a dispute over money. But it's best to begin with who these two men were and what the relationship between Church and State was in Western Europe in the late thirteenth century. BEEF with Bridget Todd. BEEF is an original scripted non-fiction storytelling podcast that focuses on famous historical rivalries, mostly between innovators in pop culture and business. Award-winning host Bridget Todd tells the stories of legends in their fields and how they tried to stomp out their competition only to find that their enemies become the driving force behind their success, ultimately changing the world as we know it. Past episodes have covered feuds such as the rivalry between basketball players Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, 19th-century British explorers of the Nile Sir Richard Burton and Capt. John Hanning Speke, and Marc Antony and Octavian Caesar. They even have an episode on Beer vs Gin: England's Favorite Beverages.This episode also includes some truly insightful observations by Dr. Cecilia Gaposchkin of Dartmouth College. And the podcast's acclaimed host, Bridget Todd, is excellent as usual. I hope you enjoy it. And if you do, you might want to check out other episodes of “BEEF with Bridget Todd.” It isn't a medieval podcast, but if you enjoy history and story-telling, I think you will like it.  You can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts. Listen on Podurama https://podurama.com Intro and exit music are by Alexander NakaradaIf you have questions, feel free to contact me at richard.abels54@gmail.com

We finish the 8th Circle of hell! Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Dr. Donald Prudlo of the University of Tulsa discuss pits 8-10 of the 8th Circle of Dante's Inferno (Cantos 26-31). Dr. Prudlo is an incredibly talented Catholic scholar! You'll want to hear what he has to say - especially about Odysseus, Troy, and the Garden of Eden.Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for more resources!From our guide:64. What happens in the eighth ditch (Cantos 26-27)?Overlooking the eighth ditch, the Pilgrim and Virgil view the punishment of those souls King Minos found guilty of deception or evil counsel.[1] The Pilgrim sees columns of flames, and Virgil explains, “there are souls concealed within these moving fires, each one swathed in his burning punishment.”[2] Dante the Pilgrim observes a “flame with its tip split in two,” to which Virgil explains the flame contains the souls of both Ulysses and Diomedes.[3] The contrapasso of the eighth bolgia is that these deceivers burn as tongues of flame just as their tongues in life brought forth pain and destruction.[4] Moving on, the Pilgrim and Virgil meet another soul, Guido da Montefeltro, “a soldier who became a friar in his old age; but he was untrue to his vows when, at the urging of Pope Boniface VIII, he counseled the use of fraud in the pope's campaign against the Colonna family. He was damned to hell because he failed to repent of his sins, trusting instead in the pope's fraudulent absolution.”[5] Virgil and the Pilgrim press on, where, coming to the ninth ditch, they see “those who, sowing discord, earned Hell's wages.”[6]65. Does fire have a special role in the Inferno?Given its name, most expect fire to be the normative punishment of the Inferno—but it is not. The question is whether the role fire does play has a special pedagogical purpose. Dr. Prudlo sets forth that fire, especially as seen here as “tongues of fire,” represents an “anti-Pentecostal sin.” Fire plays a role in the punishment of the blasphemers, sodomites, usurers, simonists, and false counselors. Fire, as Dr. Prudlo notes, is the “most noble element in Dante's world,” and it plays a certain “refined punishment” in the Inferno. It seems to signify a certain “unnatural abuse” within the sin, an “abuse of some special gift that God has given us.” The role of fire in the Inferno merits further consideration.66. Is there a special relation between Ulysses (Odysseus) and Dante?Dante the Poet arguably has a certain fondness for Ulysses. As Dr. Prudlo observes: “genius untethered to virtue is one of the most dangerous things that can possibly exist.” Dante the Poet and Ulysses are both geniuses. Yet, Ulysses cannot find rest upon returning to Ithaca—the question for knowledge calls him away from his wife, son, and kingdom to journey out into unknown Ocean. He sails passed the Pillars of Heracles, which mark the boundaries of mortal men, and, upon seeing Mount Purgatory, God strikes his ship and all lives are lost. Dr. Prudlo remarks that where Ulysses attempted to make it to Mount Purgatory despite God, Dante the Pilgrim will make it to Mount Purgatory with God....
