Bunbury publicará su nuevo álbum Cuentas Pendientes el próximo mes de abril. La continuación de Greta Garbo  fue grabada en el Desierto de los Leones, (México) y es un retorno a las canciones inspiradas música popular latinoamericana, esa que exploraba en obras como Pequeño (1999), Flamingos (2002) El viaje a ninguna parte (2004) o Licenciado Cantinas (2011). El músico de Zaragoza lo llevará además al directo con el regreso de el Huracán Ambulante, su banda de apoyo entre el año 1997 y hasta el verano de 2005. Unos músicos con los que exploró por primera vez su faceta nómada, errante y se adentró en las raíces del cancionero latino, mestizo y mediterráneo. Para acompañar este regreso, hemos seleccionado en Conexiones MZK 15 de sus mejores canciones en esas coordenadas. Temas arrastrados, rancheras, tangos, canciones de taberna, un registro que exploraremos arrancando con una de sus canciones recientes, que forma parte de ese Cuentas Pendientes,"Las chingadas ganas de llorar" y que continuaremos durante 14 temas más, alternando diferentes discos.

EPISODE 75 - “MEHAR BABA BRINGS SPIRITUALITY TO OLD HOLLYWOOD” - 2/17/2025 During the 1920s and 1930s, a spiritual movement swept through Hollywood. It seems the Hollywood elite were about more than just speakeasies, flappers, and decadence. Some were searching for inner-peace and often found it -- at least temporarily -- in these various religious movements that popped up. One spiritual leader who came to prominence was India's MEHAR BABA, who believed that spirituality and metaphysics were interconnected. Stars like MARY PICKFORD, TALLULAH BANKHEAD, and MARIE DRESSLER were admirers. And when Baba visited Hollywood in May of 1932, you'll never believe where he stayed! Get enlightened and listen to this fascinating story of spirituality in Hollywood.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The God Man (1964), by C.B.Purdom; Mehar Baba, www.meharcenter.org “Mehar Baba: A Brief Biography,” www.avatarmeharbabatrust.org; “Pete Townsend Speaks of Mehar Baba,” www.petetoensend.net; “Mehar Baba: The Compassionate Father,” www.ramdass.org; “Highest of the High: Full Message By Mehar Baba with Introduction,” YouTube,com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  The Devil and the Deep (1932); starring Tallulah Bankhead, Gary Cooper, Charles, Laughton, & Cary Grant; Love Me Tonight (1932), starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Charles Ruggles, & Myrna Loy; Grand Hotel (1932), starring Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Lionel Barrymore, Wallace Beery, & Lewis Stone; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

Joseph McBride is a film historian and a professor in the School of Cinema at San Francisco State University. He is the author of biographies of Frank Capra, John Ford, and Steven Spielberg; three books on Orson Welles; and critical studies of Ernst Lubitsch, Billy Wilder, and the Coen Brothers. He acted for Welles in The Other Side of the Wind and has won a Writers Guild of America award. His latest book is called "George Cukor's People: Acting for a Master Director" (Columbia University Press, 2025). The director of classic films such as "Sylvia Scarlett", "The Philadelphia Story", "Gaslight", "Adam's Rib", "A Star Is Born", and "My Fair Lady", George Cukor is widely admired but often misunderstood. Reductively stereotyped in his time as a woman's director—a thinly veiled, disparaging code for gay—he brilliantly directed a wide range of iconic actors and actresses, including Cary Grant, Greta Garbo, Spencer Tracy, Joan Crawford, Marilyn Monroe, and Maggie Smith. As Katharine Hepburn, the star of ten Cukor films, told the director, “All the people in your pictures are as goddamned good as they can possibly be, and that's your stamp.”

Ruan Lingyu (1910-1935) was a Chinese silent film actress known as the “Greta Garbo of China.” Considered one of the most prominent film stars of the 1930s, her roles, exceptional acting, and her suicide at the age of 24 led to her status as an icon of Chinese Cinema.

Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 2006 This month, we're diving into the "Divas" of history, examining how the label has been used from many angles, whether describing women pejoratively... or with admiration. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should.

In this groundbreaking, lavishly illustrated critical study, Joseph McBride provides insightful and revealing essayistic portraits of Cukor's actors in their most memorable roles. The queer filmmaker gravitated to socially adventurous, subversively rule-breaking, audacious dreamers who are often sexually transgressive and gender fluid in ways that seem strikingly modern today. McBride shows that Cukor's seemingly self-effacing body of work is characterized by a discreet way of channeling his feelings through his actors. He expertly cajoled actors, usually gently but sometimes with bracing harshness, to delve deeply into emotional areas they tended to keep safely hidden. Cukor's wry wit, his keen sense of psychological and social observation, his charm and irony, and his toughness and resilience kept him active for more than five decades in Hollywood. George Cukor's People: Acting for a Master Director (Columbia UP, 2024) gives him the in-depth, multifaceted examination his rich achievement deserves.

Reductively stereotyped in his time as a "woman's director"-a thinly veiled, disparaging code for "gay"-he brilliantly directed a wide range of iconic actors and actresses, including Cary Grant, Greta Garbo, Spencer Tracy, Joan Crawford, Marilyn Monroe, and Maggie Smith. As Katharine Hepburn, the star of ten Cukor films, told the director, "All the people in your pictures are as goddamned good as they can possibly be, and that's your stamp." In this groundbreaking, lavishly illustrated critical study, Joseph McBride provides insightful and revealing essayistic portraits of Cukor's actors in their most memorable roles. The queer filmmaker gravitated to socially adventurous, subversively rule-breaking, audacious dreamers who are often sexually transgressive and gender fluid in ways that seem strikingly modern today. McBride shows that Cukor's seemingly self-effacing body of work is characterized by a discreet way of channeling his feelings through his actors. He expertly cajoled actors, usually gently but sometimes with bracing harshness, to delve deeply into emotional areas they tended to keep safely hidden. Cukor's wry wit, his keen sense of psychological and social observation, his charm and irony, and his toughness and resilience kept him active for more than five decades in Hollywood. George Cukor's People: Acting for a Master Director (Columbia UP, 2024) gives him the in-depth, multifaceted examination his rich achievement deserves. Joseph McBride is a film historian and a professor in the School of Cinema at San Francisco State University. He is the author of biographies of Frank Capra, John Ford, and Steven Spielberg; three books on Orson Welles; and critical studies of Ernst Lubitsch, Billy Wilder, and the Coen Brothers. He acted for Welles in The Other Side of the Wind and has won a Writers Guild of America award. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Oscar Berger. Prišiel na svet v prešovskej židovskej rodine. V roku 1923 sa ako jeden z mála novinárov smel zúčastniť v Mníchove na procese s Hitlerom, ktorému sa vtedy ešte puč nevydaril. O desať rokov neskôr sa však Hitler už dostal k moci a Berger, vzhľadom na svoj židovský pôvod, musel Nemecko opustiť. Napokon sa z neho stal uznávaný novinár, americký politický karikaturista a uznávaný karikaturista slávnych umelcov a hviezd šoubiznisu. Oskar Berger mal talent, akých nebýva veľa. Hlavy štátov, panovníkov aj filmové hviezdy videl svojou optikou a vďaka tomu dokázal stvoriť úžasné karikatúry. Zvečnil také osobnosti ako prezident J. F. Kennedy, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, baseballová hviezda a dočasný manžel Marilyn Monroe – Joe Dimaggio, Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin, prezident Nixon, či pápež Ján Pavol II. O Oscarovi Bergerovi sa s Michalom Havranom bude zhovárať historička Andrea Sivaničová, jedna z najznámejších sprievodkýň v meste Prešov. Hana Ponická, slovenská prozaička, prekladateľka, publicistka a autorka literatúry pre deti a mládež, disidentka, bývalá manželka spisovateľa Štefana Žáryho, básnika Jána Kostru a vojenského historika Jaroslava Šolca. Aktívne sa zapojila do Slovenského národného povstania. V rokoch 1948 až 1950 žila v Ríme, kde pôsobil jej manžel, spisovateľ Štefan Žáry v tom čase ako dopisovateľ Československej tlačovej kancelárie. Hana Ponická nebola iba poprednou slovenskou prozaičkou, prekladateľkou a publicistkou, ale aj aktívnou bojovníčkou proti totalite a signatárkou Charty 77. Za odpor proti praktikám komunistického režimu bola 14. augusta 1989 spolu s členmi tzv. bratislavskej päťky - s Jánom Čarnogurským, Miroslavom Kusým, Vladimírom Maňákom a Antonom Seleckým - zatknutá a súdená. Disidentka a spisovateľka Hana Ponická, nositeľka Radu Ľudovíta Štúra I. triedy (2002), zomrela 21. augusta 2007 v Banskej Bystrici vo veku 85 rokov, pochovaná je v rodnej obci. O Hane Ponickej sa Michal Havran bude zhovárať s profesorkou v odbore teória literatúry Martou Součkovou.

In this episode of High Theory, Laura Stamm talks about the biopic. One of the oldest forms of narrative cinema, biographical pictures are a mainstay of the medium today. Early biopics played an important role in public health discourse, representing the discoveries of science and the lives of scientists, which in turn led queer artists to adopt the genre in response to the AIDS crisis. Laura's book, The Queer Biopic in the AIDS Era (Oxford UP, 2022), asks why queer filmmakers repeatedly produced biographical films of queer individuals living and dead throughout the years surrounding the AIDS crisis. These films evoke the genre's history building up lives worthy of admiration and emulation and the parallel history of representing lives damaged. By portraying lives damaged by inconceivable loss, queer filmmakers challenge the illusion of a coherent self presumably reinforced by the biopic genre and in doing so, their films open the potential for new means of connection and relationality. In the episode Laura references many films, including the Greta Garbo film Queen Christina (1933); Freud: The Secret Passion (1962); The Story of Louis Pasteur (1936); Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet (1940); John Greyson's musical Zero Patience (1993); and the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black (2024). Her research extends beyond the 1980s moment of crisis, and in the episode she gives a good explainer pre-code Hollywood and (briefly) the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s. If you were interested in this episode and want to learn more about queer representation in US popular culture, check out Margaret Galvan's episode on Visibility. Laura Stamm is Assistant Professor of Health Humanities and Bioethics and Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Department of Medicine at University of Rochester. She completed her PhD in Film and Media Studies and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Stamm's research interests broadly focuses on LGBTQ+ health, transgender studies, and medicine in visual culture.

Sie war der erste Filmstar überhaupt. „Im Vergleich zu ihr bin ich ein Nichts“, sagte Greta Garbo über Asta Nielsen. Die Dänin verzauberte die Massen. Ob mit einem erotischen Gaucho-Tanz, als weiblicher Hamlet oder eben zusammen mit der Garbo: Asta Nielsen spielte jede Rolle mit Bravour. Mehr als ein Vierteljahrhundert lebte sie in Berlin und wirkte in über 75 Filmen mit. In ihrer Berliner Wohnung und im „Karussell“, dem Ferienhaus auf Hiddensee, traf sich die kulturelle Avantgarde der Zeit. Joachim Ringelnatz, Gerhard Hauptmann und Heinrich George waren beste Freunde. Auch ihr Liebesleben war sehr bewegt, wie das Verhältnis zu ihrer Tochter kompliziert. Bereits früh eine Legende und Identifikationsfigur für die Neue Frau, wurde sie schon zu ihren Lebzeiten fast vergessen. Wir wollen Asta Nielsen mit einem Live-Podcast feiern. Dafür gibt es keinen passenderen Ort als den Salon ihrer letzten Berliner Wohnung, heute die Pension Funk. Else und Arne haben als Gäste Nicola Kothlow, die als Schauspielerin immer wieder in die Rolle der Asta schlüpft, Andrea Koschwitz, Ausstellungskuratorin sowie Michael Pfundt als Betreiber der Pension Funk dabei.

Abba's biographer Jan Gradvall met and interviewed Abba many times and builds a fresh picture of their internal chemistry in his new book Melancholy Undercover. Highlights of this illuminating pod include … … how Sweden rejected their early hits for not being sufficiently “socialist”. …. the discomfiting early life of Anni-Frid Lyngstad. … what Max Martin and Denniz Pop thought made Abba's music so durable.  … Strindberg, Bergman, the climate, the eight months of darkness and the role of melancholia in Swedish pop culture.  … the influence of the Human League on their later catalogue. … why manager Stig Anderson “became a burden”. … “Norway has Grieg, Finland has Sibelius, Sweden has Benny …” … the first band to write about divorce. … the Abba song with 57 chords and the only two samples Abba ever approved. … Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer and Ian Dury backstage at a 1979 London show. … when Sid Vicious ran into Abba at an airport on the Pistols' 1977 Swedish tour.  … the role of the Lionesses football team, Kurt Cobain, Erasure, U2, Madonna and the Sydney gay community in the Abba revival.  … why the Abbatars are better than Abba.  … the myth of Agnetha as “the Greta Garbo of Pop”.  … and why The Day Before You Came is more than the Abba swansong. Order Melancholy Undercover here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-ABBA-Melancholy-Undercover/dp/0571390986Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Im Filmklassiker „Ninotschka“ aus dem Jahre 1939 von Ernst Lubitsch spielt Greta Garbo eine sowjetische Sonderbeauftragte, eine unterkühlte Technokratin, die nach und nach dem funkelnden Warenhausauslagen der Pariser Kaufhäuser erliegt und damit dem undiskreten Charme der Bourgeoisie und des Kapitalismus. Man könnte verallgemeinern, dass der durch Konsum erreichte Status alle älteren Standesunterschiede ersetzt. Genau diese Gefahr sah bereits 15 Jahre zuvor das sozialdemokratische Hamburger Echo vom 7. September 1924, wenn es über die Arbeiter*innen schrieb, die sich vor den Schaufenstern der Kaufhäuser drängten. Der Artikel appelliert, wie wir heute wissen langfristig vergeblich, an die Arbeiter*innen, dem Standesstolz entsprechend, die unnützen Luxusgegenstände abzulehnen. Rosa Leu regt sich für uns über Schuhe mit hohen Absätzen und Pyjamas auf.

Del 1 av 2. Få öar har blivit lika mytomspunna och omsusade som Capri. Här har excentriker byggt storslagna villor, designers skapat färgsprakande kläder och filmstjärnor tillbringat soliga semestrar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I veckans program reser Stil till Capri, den branta klippön i Neapelbukten som på något sätt har lyckats bli själva sinnebilden för lyx, glamour och hedonistiska utsvävningar. Vi ska få bekanta oss med några av de personer som lockats dit under årens lopp och varit med och format bilden av ön.Myten om Capri är gammal som gatan. Redan några årtionden efter Kristi födelse bestämde sig kejsar Tiberius för att bygga ett storslaget palats på ön, varifrån han sedan styrde hela romarriket. Och så var bollen satt i rullning.Under det sena 1800-talet fick Capri rykte om sig att vara en fristad för folk som kände att de inte riktigt passade in i tidens trånga konventioner – konstnärer, författare, bohemer, homosexuella. På 1950-talet kom filmstjärnorna och celebriteterna och vred upp glamourfaktorn. Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Sophia Loren. Alla var där.I programmet träffar vi Kristina Kappelin, intendent och vd på Villa San Michele, som bott på Capri i mer än sex år. Vi berättar om hur Capri kickade igång modeskaparen Emilio Puccis karriär och hur öns natur kom att påverka hans färgsprakande design. Vi besöker skomakaren Costanzo Canfora, vars morfar sålde sandaler till Jackie Kennedy på 1960-talet. Och så berättar författaren Viveka Adelswärd om Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen, den franska adelsmannen med svenska rötter, som byggde sin omtalade Villa Lysis på Capri i början av 1900-talet och blev en av öns mest ökända invånare. Villa Lysis är förresten bara ett av många hus med en spännande historia på Capri. Villa Malaparte är ett annat. Det berättar vi också om.Programmet är gjort av Erik Sjölin.

EPISODE 36 - “Classic Hollywood Clones: The Remaking of a Movie Star” - 05/20/2024 SHOW NOTES:  They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. That may not be the case when it came to the star system of old Hollywood. When an actor like CLARK GABLE or GRETA GARBO or ROCK HUDSON emerged as a star, every studio in town tried to capitalize and create their own version. For every MARILYN MONROE, there's a dozen CLEO MOOREs. Often studios would groom an actor with similar looks and skills to be a “threat” to bigger stars who become difficult to work with, or get older and less appealing, or refuse to appear in assigned films. Most of the stars groomed as a threat to a bigger star usually faded into obscurity, but others learned to get out of the looming shadow of the big star and carve out a career of their own. So this week, we pay tribute to the stars who got their starts by being groomed to replace another star.

Drömmen om Hollywood. Om lyxen, flärden och chansen att en dag kanske få se sitt namn i stora blinkande ljus. En av alla som tagit sig hit för att uppfylla denna dröm är Anna-Karin Eskilsson, som Spöktimmen har träffat på plats i Änglarnas Stad – Los Angeles. Anna-Karin skulle efter 16 års slit äntligen få sitt stora genombrott då hon fick rollen som Greta Garbo i en stor Hollywoodfilm. Men så inträffade börskraschen och filmen skrotades.I samma veva träffade Anna-Karin en svensk man, som vi kommer att kalla Lars. Lars sa sig vara en framgångsrik affärsman och lovade henne guld och gröna skogar. Bland annat skulle han investera i filmen om Greta Garbo så att Anna-Karin kunde få sin stora filmroll. Allt visade sig dock snart inte vara så fantastiskt som Lars fått det att verka och Anna-Karin insåg att han inte alls var den han utgett sig för att vara.[REKLAM] Länk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/spoktimmenKontaktInstagram: @spoktimmen@linnek@jennyborg91 Facebook: Spöktimmen Mail: spoktimmenpodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
