[Videolib] Cool reference question...your assistance?
Hi all An ex-Berkeley faculty friend has posed a very cool reference question...I can use your help: I'm looking for examples of films that do interesting things with words, either written or spoken, or (at the other extreme) try to do without words. I've got lots of silent films with title cards I can use, but I am looking for others. Some that come to mind include The Man with the Movie Camera, My Dinner with Andre, and Koyaanisqatsi. Any further suggestions? I'm interested in credits, subtitles, words on sets, dialogue, voiceover, etc. I've come up with Bob Dylan's lyric cards for Subterranean Homesick Blues in Don't Look Back; the meta credits from the movie Stranger Than Fiction; Buster Keaton in Samuel Beckett's Film(1965); and--oddly enough--two Steve Martin Films (LA Story's sentient freeway sign and C.D. Bales' [i.e. Cyrano's] hilarious put-down speech: Let's start with... Obvious: 'scuse me, is that your nose or did a bus park on your face? ) I think Adaptation might have some relevant stuff, but I can't quite remember. What do you say?

Re: [Videolib] Cool reference question...your assistance?
Well there are number of amazing Fast talking films with overlapping fast dialogue, probably the most famous is HIS GIRL FRIDAY, but film fans claim the all time fastest dialogue was in THE TRIAL OF VIVIENNE WARE (1932) . Many years later Altman did wonderful things with overlapping dialogue in CALIFORNIA SPLIT among others. Mel Brook's silent film has a lot of fun with the idea of a modern silent film with title cards and of course only one word of actual dialogue. Also credit where credit is do, THE SIXTH SENSE may make the most imaginative use of dialogue since the end forces you to reevaluate all the previous dialogue. For non word films, THE LAST LAUGH. It has not title cards at all.

Re: [Videolib] Cool reference question...your assistance?
I vote for Peter Rose's SECONDARY CURRENTS The title credits describe the film as a film noir since it pushes structuralist boundaries as a work that is imageless, that is to say on a black screen, with white subtitles translating the fake foreign language gibberish of the unseen voice-over narrator. I tend to call it a black comedy. I love this film and its emphasis on the sometimes exceedingly funny translations or lack thereof in watching films because we often spend more time reading the subtitles than actually seeing what's on the screen. I remember watching a print of a Russian film with English subtitles (the film's title evades me at the moment, but this was over 30 years ago) and the Russian characters were cursing up a storm evoking what could be done with one's mother etc, while the subtitle read, You scoundrel. I was the only one laughing out loud during the screening.

Re: [Videolib] Cool reference question...your assistance?
I love Le Samourai for its spare dialog, and all that it is used to tell. Also, I just caught a little of the BBC Sherlock series on PBS the other night. I liked the way that, as Holmes examines a scene, text appears on screen sharing his insights with viewers, but keeping them from other characters. I'll be ordering that for my library.

Re: [Videolib] Cool reference question...your assistance?
I am not sure this is what your looking for but Wim Wenders Kings of the Road:In the course of Time has no dialog in the first two hours, it is four hours long. When the characters finally do speak it totally blows you away and makes what they have to say seem so important and profound. -David Folmar On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 11:43 AM, ghand...@library.berkeley.edu wrote: Hi all An ex-Berkeley faculty friend has posed a very cool reference question...I can use your help: I'm looking for examples of films that do interesting things with words, either written or spoken, or (at the other extreme) try to do without words.

Re: [Videolib] Dubuque a location in Robert Altman's A Wedding?
I live in Lake Bluff and work in Lake Forest. The house from the movie is in Lake Bluff, but some of the cast stayed in Lake Forest. I can remember when they filmed the movie and keeping an eye out for stars from the movie. Eileen Karsten Head of Technical Services Donnelley and Lee Library Lake Forest College 555 N.
