Show Stoppers
For a brief moment, a chance encounter between a Wall Street tycoon and an unsuspecting working girl takes on the spectral eeriness of a Surrealist nightmare. Worn down by his profligate wife’s spending habits, millionaire banker J. B. Ball (Edward Arnold) decides to teach her a lesson. When their marital spat climaxes on their Fifth Avenue penthouse landing, he flings her most recent purchase, a $58,000 fur coat, off the roof. An overhead shot captures the coat as it slowly descends and assumes the shape of an ominous, bat-like creature (Figure 2.1). Its ghostly glide down seems to envelop a

The Hawk Eye, Burlington, Iowa, Mike Sweet column
[...]not over the mixed record of successes and failures of his first four brutally difficult years in office, a wasted term largely the fault of angry, childish and mean-spirited Republicans and the monied class that destroyed the economy. Especially on the very same national holiday that honors an assassinated black leader whose brief life ultimately made the election and re-election of a black president possible.

SERGE DANEY
Serge Daney was not a film theorist; nor was he a film critic in any ordinary sense of the term. Rather, he was engaged from the beginning to the end of his career, as Jacques Rancière asserts, in writing about “des actualités du cinéma”(“current cinema events”) (Rancière 2001b: 142).¹ In the course of this project, which generated a substantial output, Daney would attract philosopher readers, invoke philosophical referents and make a significant contribution to the canon of philosophically minded writing on cinema.

FOREWORD TO THE 2004 EDITION
Is it possible that André Bazin’s personality has gotten in the way of the ideas he promulgated? François Truffaut’s touching foreword to this volume calls him “a creature from the times before Original Sin.” Hugh Gray urges us to read him as a modern St. Francis whose natural generosity, modesty, and humor are the virtues of a born critic. For Jean Renoir, Bazin is both poet and saint, one whose words, broadcast across a pure frequency, will survive after the noise of the power mongers in this feudal age of film has been filtered out by the sieve of history.
