deadly crane accident in New York caught on camera
In the last week, there has been a lot of chatter on speculation that the car accident in 1960 that Albert Camus was killed was not an accident but an assassination by the KGB in response to author Nobel prize criticism of the Soviet Union in view of the improvised nature of car travel which Albert Camus was killed his publisher, Michel Gallimard, was driving, and told him to take the train from Provence to Paris with the author died the ticket in his pocket, it seems unlikely Camus biographer Olivier Todd said Kim Willsher, Guardian While I would not put it past the KGB to do such a thing, I do not believe the story is true in all cases, the report has the additional benefit to hand Camus news, as in Sunday time when Robert Zaretsky sees the event in connection with the French taste for fast driving on narrow roads and cites other nota ble French literature who were victims of traffic accidents.
French cinema has had victims also including the actress Fran Oise sister Dorl ac Catherine Deneuve, who played so memorably in self-excoriating romantic melodrama The Soft Skin Truffaut Fran available here on DVD; and the director Jean Eustache that all movies are available here on DVD the most famous, The Mother and the Whore, and recently rediscovered Num ro Z ro, disabled in a 1981 accident and committed suicide soon after and, of course, the vast dollies linked along a traffic jam in the weekend one of the greatest of Jean-Luc Godard and the most iconic scenes in modern cinema are triggered by rubbernecking after one of the many disastrous car accidents This DVD movie is exhausted, but the film returns to Film Forum for a run of two weeks beginning October 7th Godard himself was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in 1971.
As for Camus, it was surprisingly large, albeit unintentionally, the importance of the history of cinema and, in particular, the French New Wave in the forties late, the most sophisticated French film magazine, La Revue du Cin I was idolized by young cinema philes in France, has lost money it was published by Gallimard, where Camus was published and where he worked as editor; he didn t consider cinema as a subject worthy of the grant of the August edition house, and in 1948 the magazine has been terminated its rebirth has become something of a mission for its founder, Jean George Auriol, and the critic Andr Bazin After Auriol s death in 1950, he was hit by a car, the project found outside funding but Gallimard refused to assign the rights to the title, if Bazin and his associates launched their review under a new title, Cahiers du Cin my where, of course, the future directors of the new wave found their critical platform critical history is a tonic against despair when a beloved institution goes under, it is often the impetus to start something in his wake, and what replaces it is sometimes even better than what was lost if for no other reason than the feeling of loss galvanizes the passions and energies that were previouslyuntapped.
Amid this dreamy Ca on the tail of barbed history or what Hegel called the cunning of reason, I found myself in the Strand bookstore carefully, glancing at a slim volume Gallimard, Su Speech speeches Sweden, which has Camus's 1957 Nobel lecture in Stockholm and a speech he gave a few days later, on the theme of the artist and his time at Uppsala University is in the latter text which, in his argument against socialist realism, I found the following nugget of wisdom.
What is more real in our universe than the life of a man, and how can we hope to revive better than a realistic film, but under what conditions such a film the purely imaginary as possible we would actually ask a ideal camera that is fixed, night and day, this man and recorded incessantly his slightest movement the result would be a film screening that will last a lifetime and could be seen by viewers resigned to losing their lives in the exclusive interest of the details of someone else's Even then, this unimaginable movie wouldn t be realistic for the simple reason that the reality of life isn t a man found that where there is it's located also in other lives that shape her first of all, the lives of those he loves, which, in turn, be filmed; but also the lives of other powerful or oppressed unknown citizens, policemen, teachers, invisible companions in mines and factories, diplomats and dictators, religious reformers, artists who create myths that govern all said our behavior, humble representatives accidents sovereign who reigns over who is constantly projected to us by an invisible camera to the world screen the only realistic artist would be God, if there is even the most orderly existence Thus, it is only a realistic film possible, other artists are, by necessity, unfaithful to reality.
There's passage of a hallucinatory power, and supreme synthetic overview regarding the truth of so-called reality that involves both the inner life and a wide range of possibilities interconnected physical and psychological dependencies who are both motivated and indefinite the human sense of contingency was one of the many things that made him resist the close teleology of Marxism and the inhuman atrocities which his followers have sought to force the human complexity of their choice Camus concludes, even if a film enemy, including its polyphonic and tumultuous force abstractions better than those who have claimed good aesthetic reasons harness its power to the doctrine.
