Gabriele Pedullà"Il trascendente nel cinema"Paul SchraderMarietti1820www.mariettieditore.itLa domanda che sta all'origine di questo libro è molto semplice: in che modo è possibile (ammesso che lo sia) portare sullo schermo il completamente altro, il divino? A distanza di oltre mezzo secolo dalla sua prima pubblicazione, l'acclamato regista e sceneggiatore Paul Schrader rivisita e aggiorna la sua riflessione sul cinema lento degli ultimi cinquant'anni. L'analisi dello stile cinematografico di tre grandi registi – Yasujirō Ozu, Robert Bresson e Carl Dreyer – si arricchisce di un nuovo quadro teorico, offerto dal pensiero di Gilles Deleuze sul cinema e sulla fenomenologia della percezione attraverso il tempo, espandendo la teoria alle opere, tra gli altri, di Andrej Tarkovskij e Béla Tarr. Con una prosa chiara, l'autore insegna a lettori e spettatori a guardare con occhi nuovi alla cinematografia d'autore, in un'opera che - come sostiene Gabriele Pedullà - non è soltanto «un acuto studio critico» dei capolavori del passato, ma un vero e proprio «manifesto per un cinema diverso»: «un grande classico che continua a tracciare strade, aprire porte, scavare gallerie, costruire ponti che aiutano tutti a pensare più liberamente».Prefazione "Il trascendente nel cinema" a cura di Gabriele Pedullà.Paul Schrader (Grand Rapids - Michigan 1946), critico cinematografico, sceneggiatore di capolavori come Taxi Driver, Toro scatenato e L'ultima tentazione di Cristo, ha diretto film indimenticabili come American Gigolò e First Reformed. Ritenuto uno dei protagonisti della New Hollywood, nel 2022 ha ricevuto il Leone d'oro alla carriera. Il 16 gennaio 2025 è uscito nei cinema italiani il film da lui scritto e diretto Oh Canada - I tradimenti, con Uma Thurman e Richard Gere.Gabriele Pedullà (Roma 1972) insegna Letteratura italiana presso l'università di Roma Tre e scrive per «Il Sole 24 Ore». Autore di diversi libri di saggistica, tra cui il recente On Niccolò Machiavelli: The Bonds of Politics (Columbia University Press, 2023, in corso di traduzione per Einaudi), con Sergio Luzzatto ha curato l'Atlante della letteratura italiana (Einaudi 2010-12). Presso Einaudi ha inoltre pubblicato le raccolte di racconti Lo spagnolo senza sforzo (2009, Premio Mondello Opera Prima; Premio Verga; Premio Frontino), Biscotti della fortuna (2020, Premio Super Flaiano) e Certe sere Pablo (2024), e il romanzo Lame (2017, Premio Carlo Levi; Premio Martoglio).

Blaize is back to get close to the end of our conversations aout the films directed by Paul Schrader. This time we're looking at two of his most recent films, Master Gardener and The Card Counter. These are part of his "lonely man in a room" trilogy with First Reformed, but are they are fulfilling and poweful as that previous film? The guys debate the films' complexity and power, and how influential Luc Bresson's Pickpocket is on Schrader's whole career.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes Last Wednesday morning, Marvel Television treated fans to the long awaited first official teaser trailer for Daredevil: Born Again. The trailer was met with universal praise for its dark tone and brutal depictions of violence, elements that it shares with the beloved Netflix series. The nine-episode first season premieres March 4 on Disney Plus. In some Captain America news, it was confirmed that Brave New World will have a total runtime of one hour and 58 minutes, which ties it with Ant-Man & The Wasp as the seventh shortest MCU flick to date. It will also be the first Captain America film under two hours long. It's brand new news today, Ryan Gosling is in negotiations to star in Shawn Levy's future Star Wars film. Levy's film has been in development with Lucasfilm since 2022, and getting Gosling seems like it could be a major step in getting the film truly off the ground and into the galaxy far, far away. Last we knew, the film was not to be set within the Skywalker saga The use of AI has been a frequent hot topic for Hollywood in recent years, reaching a seeming fever pitch during the 2023 WGA and SAG AFTRA strikes as a major point of negotiation. While the dust seemed to have settled a bit with the resolution of those strikes, new controversies plaguing high profile films and filmmakers have brought the discussion back to the forefront. First, Taxi Driver writer and First Reformed director, Paul Schrader, opined, in a since much lambasted Facebook post, the benefits of using a platform like ChatGPT for film ideas, in contrast to waiting the months it can take writers to ideate. Elsewhere, awards season favorite and Oscar hopeful, The Brutalist, has come under fire after an editor revealed generative A.I. was used to enhance the authenticity of the lead performers Hungarian accents. Emily Beecham and David Krumholtz have signed on to Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, portraying the parents of Kara Zor-El. Production on the DC Studios film commenced last week. Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for “Until Dawn,” the live-action adaptation of the popular 2015 PlayStation horror game. The film is currently set to be released on April 25th. After nearly 15 years of shaping Spider-Man's adventures at Marvel Comics, Eisner Award winner Dan Slott is making the move to DC. The acclaimed writer will make his DC debut on Superman Unlimited, a new monthly series featuring art by American Vampire co-creator Rafael Albuquerque. Westworld star Thandiwe Newton and Silo's Steve Zahn have joined Paul Rudd and Jack Black in Columbia's comedy reboot of Anaconda. Nintendo has revealed its Switch 2 console with first look images and a teaser trailer, confirming a 2025 release. Uma Thurman has joined the cast of Dexter series Dexter: Resurrection and will star alongside Michael C. Hall. Filmmaker David Lynch, who created celebrated counterculture classics like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and co-created Twin Peaks, has died at 78. A24 and Picturestart are teaming with director Charlie Polinger for a revisionist and darkly comedic take on The Masque of The Red Death, based on the short story of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe. Sydney Sweeney is currently in negotiations to star. After extensive negotiations, IMAX has secured a deal to exclusively screen Greta Gerwig's Netflix adaptation of "Narnia" in theaters worldwide for two weeks, beginning Thanksgiving 2026, before its streaming debut that Christmas. Joel McHale has joined the cast of Scream 7 and will play Mark Evans, the husband to Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott. A24 has released the first trailer for upcoming horror film Opus, which hits theaters on March 14th. The film stars Ayo Edebiri, John Malkovich, Murray Bartlett, Juliette Lewis, and Amber Midthunder.
Have you ever seen stubbornness lead to destruction? In Revelation 9:13-21, we encounter a vivid portrayal of humanity's unrepentant hearts, even in the face of God's terrifying judgment. This sobering passage reveals three profound truths: the precision of God's judgment, the devastating power of sin, and the tragedy of hardened hearts. Join us as we explore how this passage calls us to humility, repentance, and faith in the Lamb who was slain. Be encouraged to reflect on your own heart and the mercy God offers to those who turn to Him.

The Schradercast has walked some interesting ground in its previous 9 episodes, but this time Blaize and Jason have hit the most interesting ground so far, with two diametrically opposite films which provide a fascinating contrast for each other. First, Dog Eat Dog a hyperkinetic nihilistic Nic Cage/Willem Dafoe crime thriller. Next, First Reformed, a highly considered and deeply fascinating Ethan Hawke/Amanda Seyfred journey into the complex darkness of one man's soul. Whatever the mismatched nature is of these films, the resulting discussion ends up being one of the most intense and often moving conversations we've ever done on Jason and the Movienauts. We hope you enjoy it too.
What does true repentance look like? In this Advent sermon on Luke 3:1-17, we reflect on John the Baptist's call to “bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” Discover the difference between outward appearances and genuine transformation as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. Let's live lives that glorify God through true repentance. Contemplate these questions as you listen to this week's message: What areas of your life might appear outwardly polished but need genuine transformation through repentance? How does the Holy Spirit work in you to produce fruit that reflects true repentance? How can reflecting on Christ's second coming help you live in a posture of repentance and readiness?

In this Thanksgiving sermon from 1 Chronicles 29:10-22, we reflect on God's sovereignty, provision, and faithfulness. David's prayer reminds us that all we have comes from God's hand, calling us to respond with gratitude through giving and worship. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we are invited to offer our lives as living sacrifices, joyfully praising the Triune God for His abundant blessings and the gift of salvation through Christ. Contemplate these questions as you listen to this Thanksgiving message: 1. How does acknowledging God's sovereignty and provision challenge the cultural tendency to see ourselves as self-made or autonomous? 2. In what ways can we tangibly express our gratitude to God through giving, whether with our resources, time, or lives? 3. How does joyful and faithful worship flow naturally from recognizing the blessings God has given us, especially the gift of salvation in Christ?

In Revelation 7:1-17, John sees the sealing of God's people for salvation, a vision of a global multitude worshiping the Lamb, and the eternal comfort of those redeemed by His blood.

Contemplate these questions as you listen to this week's message: How does the sealing of God's people in Revelation 7:1-8 demonstrate His sovereign care for His church?

Ante up, listeners - we're dealing out another big one this week.

This is a big one, folks. Paul Schrader's 2017 FIRST REFORMED, a climate-doom riff on WINTER LIGHT and DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST, kicked off a new phase of his career that's still unfolding as we speak. Phases unfold, right? Anyway, to help us unpack both this tremendous work of transcendental cinema and our own crushing despair, we're joined once again by our great friends Aaron and Carlee from the Hit Factory podcast.

It's two movies for the price of one today! (Podcast remains free.) In 2014, Paul Schrader directed Nicolas Cage and Anton Yelchin in a thriller about a CIA agent with frontotemporal dementia trying to hunt down an old enemy before his mind goes. The money guys took the film away from him, edited it into a totally anonymous Redbox movie themselves, and released it as "A Paul Schrader Film" anyway. He was contractually prohibited from disparaging the result, but Schrader, along with the cast and producer Nicholas Winding Refn, publicly disowned the released version, and Paul drank himself into a stupor. Several years later, during the editing process on First Reformed, he returned to DYING OF THE LIGHT and made it into something between a director's cut and a fascinating work of video collage art called DARK, which is legally unreleasable but available to view for free. It's so nuts, and it changed the course of his career. We're gonna talk about it!

In this sermon, we explore the clarity of God's Word and how it serves as a light in a noisy, confusing world. Scripture is not distant or vague; it is accessible, illuminating, and guided by the Holy Spirit. We're reminded that God's Word provides direction for our lives and calls us to engage with it daily. Join us on this journey of discovery and clarity. Think on these questions as you listen to this week's message: In what ways have you experienced God's Word as a "lamp unto your feet" in your own life?

In this message, we explore the sufficiency of Scripture in three key areas: salvation, holiness, and worship. God's Word is always enough, regardless of our circumstances. It guides us, transforms us, and reveals how we are to worship Him. Join us as we uncover the power and authority of Scripture in every area of life. Contemplate these questions as you listen to this week's message: How does trusting in the sufficiency of Scripture free us from relying on our works or human philosophies for salvation? What does storing God's Word in our hearts mean, and how does this shape our pursuit of holiness? How does Scripture guide us in worship, and why is it essential to approach worship based on God's commands rather than human preferences?

Backstabbing for Beginners is a political thriller starring Theo James who plays Michael Sullivan, the son of a late U.S. diplomat who gets a job at the U.N. He's an idealist who wants to help people, before he meets Pasha (portrayed by Ben Kingsley), a vulgar realist who heads the oil for food program. Pasha takes Michael under his wing, but is he blurring ethical lines with the way he runs things?

Join us as we explore Psalm 13. In this week's message, we delve into the legitimacy of lament in our spiritual lives. We're reminded that it's okay to express our deepest sorrows and frustrations to God, just as David did. The psalm's progression from despair to hope teaches us a valuable lesson: lament, pray, trust, and rejoice. This pattern shows us how to navigate difficult times while maintaining our faith. The key is understanding God's 'hesed' - His covenant love that never fails. Even when we feel forgotten or abandoned, we can trust in God's faithfulness and persist in prayer. This message encourages us to build a deep knowledge of God's character, allowing us to stand firm in life's challenges and ultimately rejoice in His steadfast love. Consider these questions as you listen to this message on Psalm 13: Why is it important to express our true feelings, even doubts or complaints, to God? How can persistent prayer impact our relationship with God during times of hardship? What does David's transition from lament to trust teach us about the nature of God's steadfast love?

Novelist and short story writer Flannery O'Connor once said her life was too boring for a biographer—all she did was write and feed chickens. And yet, nearly 100 years after she was born, O'Connor's life and faith are explored in Wildcat, a new film from actor, writer, and director Ethan Hawke of Training Day, First Reformed, and Dead Poets Society fame. On this episode of The Russell Moore Show, Hawke and Moore discuss what compelled Hawke to cowrite Wildcat with Shelby Gaines. They talk about how O'Connor's work connected Hawke to his mother and, later, to his daughter Maya, who plays O'Connor in the film. Moore and Hawke explore O'Connor's forcefulness and faith. They discuss the joys and challenges of working with family, how audiences are engaging with the religious elements in Wildcat, and Hawke's attraction to exploring issues of faith in art. And they talk about the meaning of creative work, institutions, and relationships in a fraught era.

As a sequel to our Taxi Driver episode, we analyze Paul Schrader's 2017 film First Reformed, an explicit work of religious engineering. We examine how the movie's sophisticated propaganda depicts the dying remnants of American Protestantism being absorbed into the globalist religion of the future, complete with worship of the earth mother goddess. We also talk about apocalypse programming, provide further background on Schrader, and discuss some recent disturbing comments that he's made.https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
