This bricolage exposes the operation of a culture committed to reproducing compulsory heterosexuality. Criticism, however, has concentrated on explaining the density and arbitrariness of cultural quotation through reference to Bud, insisting that the scraps of film and popular music that make up The Long Day Closes reflect the boy’s escape into self-expression, offering relief and release from the humdrummery and cruelties of life. Building on Derrida’s post-structuralist theories, this chapter argues that the mosaic of references does not provide a medium through which characters can speak, but rather speaks over characters and limits what is sayable. Far from nostalgic, this articulation-through-quotation constrains the possibilities of individual identity.","PeriodicalId":275409,"journal":{"name":"Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131815581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Critics have often argued that this diary describes clearly the anxious young priest’s inner life. Such a reading has depended on the idea that the diary is univocal. This has necessarily disavowed the film’s articulated structure, in which the diary exists as speech (in voiceovers), written text (in images of the priest writing), and performance (in dramatized scenes). These elements are, in fact, contrapuntal, striking up productive differences and presenting conflicting, even contradictory, information. The calm of the voiceover is at odds with the frantic erasures of the writing and the confused focalizations of the dramatic scenes. The fractured diary is not the univocal presentation of the protagonist, and the inarticulate character cannot provide a stable centre for the eccentric film’s proliferating network of meanings.","PeriodicalId":275409,"journal":{"name":"Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121992077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film’s complicated formal experiments—including in cinematography, editing, and sound design—have been read as expressions of the child’s distress as he struggles to survive in post-war Berlin. This criticism, however, cannot account fully for the film’s disjunctive transitions between documentary realism and expressionism. This chapter argues that year zero is a space in which all stabilizing definitions are thrown into disorientating contingency, and the clash between styles marks this unsettledness. In such a historical moment, Edmund is unable to articulate himself, and the film’s formal ruptures do not speak clearly for him. The form cannot be explained through reference to a character who is outside explanation. The film records an eccentric moment in Germany’s history, in which meaning is out of reach.","PeriodicalId":275409,"journal":{"name":"Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130511045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film employs many of the startling collisions and confusions—the dépaysements—that characterize the director’s earlier surrealist films. Editing is used to create jarring juxtapositions in a montage that complicates, and does not produce, meaning. Criticism on the film, however, has often dismissed many of the achievements of this editing as untidiness, suggesting the director’s lack of care. The complicated articulated form that cannot be dismissed as untidiness has been routinely explained away through reference to Séverine, the central character, but accounts of her trauma depend on speculation and readings of the film’s source novel. This chapter argues that the form does not articulate on behalf of the inarticulate Séverine, and that Catherine Deneuve’s performance resists efforts to translate the character’s enigma into clear sense.","PeriodicalId":275409,"journal":{"name":"Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128026385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subversive potential of art cinema, like that of the haunted house, is constrained by the centring critical manoeuvre of discovering (or constructing) a comprehensible protagonist with backstory and motivation. If, instead, the protagonist is read as just another symptom of a film’s complicated articulation, the effect of the text’s ability to disrupt and disturb habitual patterns of knowledge-making is reinstated. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of the rhizome, the conclusion argues for a criticism that does not seek to settle, but rather to unsettle, meaning.","PeriodicalId":275409,"journal":{"name":"Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116499888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film does not simply rearrange meanings; binary Manichaeism is not replaced by an alternative ethical system, female characters do not become active narrative drivers, and the Native American character does not become heroic. Instead, meaning is complicated, as inarticulate silence disrupts the settlers’ sense of identity and the Native American becomes an inscrutable signifier for both salvation and destruction. This chapter argues that genre is used as a critical (rather than textual) apparatus for marshalling films into pre-arranged significance that relies on the seamless operation of genre signifiers. Meek’s Cutoff makes visible the complications at work in all westerns, invites a reappraisal of these eccentric films, and critiques genre as an ideological knowledge system.","PeriodicalId":275409,"journal":{"name":"Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122971498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film places frames within frames, disturbing the linear cause-and-effect logic of sequence. Collage operates in the film as a complicated montage, disrupting linearity and replacing it with overwhelming simultaneity. This articulation results in a semiotic eccentricity in which frames compete for attention. Criticism has often dismissed the film’s central character Nagiko as too insubstantial to hold the pieces of this articulation together, but this is to mistake her function. She is a cipher, and her erotic writing on the skin of others is just one element in an unsutured and indeterminate collage that displaces narrative. Offering skin-deep characterization, the film plays with the proliferating complexities of intermedia.","PeriodicalId":275409,"journal":{"name":"Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134183699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
