Suddenly, last summer . USA, 1959.

Director: Joseph Leo Mankiewicz

Screenwriters: Gore Vidal and Tennessee Williams, based on the play of the second.

Cast: Montgomery Cliff, Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn

Subjects of interest: male homosexuality, repression

Synopsis:

Benavle Violet, a woman mature and wealthy, offers a generous grant the psychiatric doctor who works Cukrowicz. The doctor naturally tries to please the lady, but soon discover that their support is not disinterested: in return you who enters his niece Catherine and have performed a lobotomy.

Comment:

Benavle Violet is a typical character of Tennessee Williams : rich, decadent, psychology convoluted and strongly repressed erotic tension in this case, incestuous, which is translates into an unhealthy relationship with his only son. Seb asti, the absent protagonist whose death revolves around the work was accompanied by her mother everywhere Violet hates his niece because he broke the idyllic relationship between them and the first step to fill the position of the mother, for one reason also very hard for the pride of the mistress, Sebastian wanted a attractive young woman at his side for a reason to be sensing along the length and only made explicit at the end.

Catharine not only has the youth and beauty Violet no longer holds and usurps the privileged official companion as Sebastian, but also a humble young man whose manners plain its aristocratic aunt despises. The youth has not been taught to repress their sexuality and emotions, has the same erotic drive her aunt but she leaves emerge. His hysterical behavior, which has triggered the trauma of death unclear Sebastian, has led to a psychiatric doctor Cukrowicz the character who represents the point of view of the viewer to witness this family drama, decide whether is beneficial to it or if it is a way to suppress and silence a young maverick secrets that should not come to light. It is possible that Williams was inspired to this story in the famous real case of actress Frances Farmer , hospitalized a few years lobotomized antes por motivos no muy claros.

La película, altamente teatral y basada en la construcción de una atmósfera malsana y opresiva por medio del diálogo y el primer plano, nos va conduciendo hacia un climax final en el que se desvelará el secreto familiar inaceptable para Violet. SPOILER: resulta un tanto anacrónico en la actualidad que el conflicto central de la obra resulte ser que la madre no acepte la atracción de su hijo por los hombres y la convierta en algo que debe ser silenciado a toda costa, pero hasta hace muy poco tiempo esta era la realidad que rodeaba a la homosexualidad. Fiel a la visión que se tenía de este tema en la época, el guión be associated with promiscuity gay social maladjustment, Oedipal relationship with the mother, corruption of minors in the third world beaches (which is considered to Spain in the movie), violence and other sordid aspects. Even giving rough and moral vision that we had already seen when discussing Slander, the subject was considered too daring for the censorship of the time, although very briefly. Cinema and society in 1959 were about to leave to close our eyes to a reality that could not hide any longer, as indeed announces this film that just the truth coming out.

Top Scenes:

Violet
• presented to the doctor to the star of your garden, which is nothing but a carnivorous plant, while a metaphor for the trap is lending and anticipatory of the nuances of the history of cannibals Sebastian.

• SPOILER: Catherine finally dares to talk about the traumatic experience last summer. Sebastian was lynched by a group of kids who kill after devoured part of his body.

Anecdotes:

Montgomery Clift was recovering
• a very serious accident automovístico during the time of filming, had part of his face paralyzed and needed to take strong medications for the pain, which is noted in his speech on the screen. Their presence in the film was due to the insistence and support of the actresses, who ended up very angry about the contemptuous attitude of the director and producer to him. It is said that Katharine Hepburn was a spit in the face at the end of filming.

• The English translation of the title lends a bit confusing , the English title does not mean suddenly came last summer, which is what evokes the English name but a way of introducing the memories of Catharine: Suddenly, last summer ... (Suddenly, last summer ...).

• Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor are competing for the Oscar for best actress that year. The film received another nomination for his artistic direction.

• references to homosexuality, forbidden by the Hays Code censorship, caused some controversy at the premiere, but was becoming increasingly clear that it was outdated and obsolete and the code. Surprising that the film got released in Franco's Spain, not only because of its subject rugged, but the image so primitive that occurs in our country in history.

About the director:

Joseph Leo Mankiewicz (Pennsylvania 1909 - New York 1993) is one of the biggest names in classic Hollywood. He began in film making translations of German films and still very young produced hits like Philadelphia Stories. His jump to the address would occur some years later, a field that won the Oscar and a huge recognition Eve. Other titles are his most remembered Letter to Three Wives, The Barefoot Contessa or footprint. He worked at a time when sexual references were virtually banned in commercial cinema, so Suddenly, Last Summer is the title riskier and develops the most erotic themes.

'm curious erotic socialism

Jag är nyfiken . Sweden, 1967-68.

Director: Vilgot Sjöman

Cast: Lena Nyman , Vilgot Sjöman, Börje Ahlstedt

Subjects interest: sexual freedom, free love

Synopsis:

Lena, a young idealistic military in various causes and ask the Swedes their views on various social and sexual. Your erotic and emotional life is divided between Vilgot, the director who filmed his activities as a militant, and a man father a child.

Comment:

The mixture of reality and fiction resolved I'm curious as current, as would twenty years later Victor Erice and Abbas Kiarostami , Vilgot Sjöman constructs a fictional film which deals with the filming of a documentary about Swedish society and gender. There is no writer credited as probably the actors, who play themselves, including the director himself, taking an active part at least, the design of characters we can not know to what extent are they or not. Lena Presumably, the main character develops in real life activity report of inequalities and defense of feminism and social and sexual freedom that we see carried out during the film. It is also assumed that she and the director are a couple open like you see on the screen.

Another entry

the blog I talked about love Survey, a documentary Pasolini very similar in gathering opinions from ordinary people about sexual issues, but I'm curious metalinguistic provides a much bolder game and leaves completely hand, the supposed neutrality of Pasolini's film (supposedly only because the director makes clear his views on the issues involved) and assumes that this is a film of denunciation and a whole political manifesto raises interesting questions as for example if the emerging Swedish tourism in Spain during the English helps or if he is a complicity with the Franco dictatorship.

View today, is also a very educational film about the 60's, the counterculture and the questioning of many values \u200b\u200bthat until then, and, unfortunately, today, considered and are considered immovable. By then it was assumed not as is done now that the company would always be unequal, but that for years made a major effort to lessen the gap between rich and poor, and the rebellious spirit was also applied to sexuality . As a legacy of those years, homosexuality (which also explores Lena maintaining relations with a girl), masturbation or female sexual desire is no longer a deviations to travel to see, at least in the developed world, with some normality. However, on other issues, as a concept of partnership based on intellectual and emotional links, not only or necessarily on sexual fidelity, I'm curious is today, perhaps more than ever, a very daring film for raising the sexual learning a girl who has relationships with two men at once, without their owners consider it to be her lovers, a behavior that can only be considered anachronistic today.

Top Scenes: Lena

• question several passersby about social class differences in Sweden, if the Swedish society is class or not, one respondent replied: if you are naked there is no class distinctions; dressed people and you have a class society .

• She and a companion decided to rob a church membership and deal with the bishop, who shed his robe and underwear left in a kind of performance.

Anecdotes:

• produced an extraordinary controversy in its international release, especially in the U.S., where he be kidnapped by the censorship and could not adopted later debut a judicial sentence. Was considered pornographic in their day and the director reads the second part of the film insults and threats contained in letters received by viewers outraged after seeing the first chapter.

• In Spain, due to his criticism of the Franco regime, could not be released until 1978, after the death of the dictator.

• The film is divided into two parts with the names of the two colors of the Swedish flag: and I Am Curious Blue I Am Curious Yellow , which was released in its day separately and are now published in video in the same way.
