Wuthering Heights
From the Chicago Reader (February 1, 1988). — J.R.
Like William Wyler’s 1939 adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel, as well as Jacques Rivette’s Hurlevant, Luis Buñuel’s 1954 Mexican version discards the original novel’s framing strategy of telling the story from the viewpoint of two outsiders—a regrettable elision in all three cases, because much of the novel’s power and meaning stem from this crucial distancing strategy. Yet Buñuel’s low-budget melodrama has a certain gothic ferocity that’s missing in the other versions; the results are mixed, but seldom unworthy of the master. With Iraseme Dilian, Jorge Mistral, and Lilia Prado; in Spanish with subtitles. 91 min.

London Journal (including an interview with Geraldine Chaplin in Britanny about NASHVILLE) [1975]
From Film Comment (September-October 1975). Some of this article, especially the early stretches, embarrasses me now for its pretentiousness, but I think it still has some value as a period piece.
A few brief footnotes to my interview with Chaplin: (1) We shared a joint at one point while doing it; (2) her comments about working with Rivette made it seem a lot less fun and more difficult, at least for her, than working with Altman (she described it at one point as having to show Rivette various kinds of acting like a rug merchant to see which one he liked); and in fact (3) a few decades later, when I met her again at a film festival, reminded her of our interview, and asked her what she thought of Noroit, she told me that she’d never seen it. — J.R.
London Journal
Or should I call this my NASHVILLE Journal? On March 19, I saw a monaural print in London at a private screening. Writing over three months later, shortly after its New York opening and a projected five before it’s supposed to surface in the rural West End, I can only wish it well on I think that it is the perfect time to bring Emily Brontë�s Wuthering Heights, earlier filmed in 1939 by William Wyler and in 1956 by Luis Buñuel as Los Abismos di Pasion, into the twenty-first century. As I expressed in my Journal, I believe that the novel has all the qualities of the ultimate Gothic Love story. Obviously this generation thinks that it is just as good because it is cited in modern literary works. If it were adapted for a screen version in this time period, I think that Heathcliff (earlier depicted by Laurence Oliver and Jorge Mistral) would be portrayed as a shape shifter. The tall, dark, brooding handsome type, Christian Bale or an unknown actor, so that his background would be as questionable as Heathcliff�s. The actor and his character would be shrouded in mystery. I think that previews today give away too much of the movies, so when the viewers get there, they have seen too much of the film. As for Catherine�s character, I should probably cast Kate Beckensale, instead of Merle Oberon in Wyler�s movie or Irasema Dilion in Buñuel�s version. Kate is beautiful but has an aura of mystery to her acting. She is a very physical actress, and I think that she could pull off the strength of Catherine�s character. Isabella would be a little different from the way she was portrayed as Geraldine Fitzgerald in Wyler�s version or as Lilia Prado in Buñuel�s film. Isabella could be depicted by a strong but silent Reese Witherspoon. She would take Heathcliff�s hatred and angst only until she had to protect her son. For Hindley (Hugh Williams in Wyler�s movie or Luis Aceves Castenada) in Buñuel�s film), I should have to cast someone who is beautifully ev Heirs to the Nioulargue, the Voiles de Saint-Tropez express an exceptional alchemy, a combination of the pleasure of sailing and an innate sense of celebration. Patrice de Colmont, director of Club 55 and founder of the event, and André Beaufils, Past-President of the SNST, testify. It is said that the origin of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez lies in a meeting that took place over thirty years ago. How did it all start? Patrice de Colmont. By a happy coincidence! At the end of September 1981, an American couple with a competition Swan stayed in Saint-Tropez after having competed in the Swan Cup in Porto Cervo. They took part in a few regattas at the SNST, got to know some people and, one day, while the owner was talking about his successes in regattas, the 12 Meter Ikra entered the port. Someone said, “What about Ikra, do you think you could beat her? Immediate answer: “Why not, if Ikra accepts the challenge. I immediately ran to Jean Laurain, skipper of Ikra, who agreed to go out for a regatta the next day. That’s how it all started, with a crazy challenge between a Swan 44 and a 12 Meter JI! It was already the alliance of the ancient and the modern. What was the outcome of the fight? Patrice de Colmont. On the morning of the departure, with a friend, we want to buy a marine map to define the route. But we find it too expensive and we fall back on a road map where we pencil in the blue zone marked “golfe de Saint-Tropez”! The start is given in front of the Portalet tower, we turn the buoy of the Nioulargue shoal and the finish is judged in front of my house, at the Club 55, where a big table is waiting for everyone. Ikra comes first, well ahead of Pride, the Swan 44, but all that is secondary. The crews have lunch together and, as a trophy, I present the winner with a silver compotier from the French Navy’s crockery. The atmosphere is in full swing when the correspondent of Var Matin arrives and asks wh French actress (born 1933) Liliane Rovère Liliane Cyprienne Cukier Paris, France Bibi Rovère Liliane Rovère (née Cukier) (born 30 January 1933) is a French actress. Liliane Rovère was born Liliane Cyprienne Cukier. Of Jewish origin, she hid in Catholic institutions under a fake name during the German occupation of France in World War II. Her parents survived the Holocaust, but many of her family did not. Rovère's lifelong love of jazz began at the age of 12, when she began to frequent jazz clubs. At the age of 18, after a visit to the Club Saint-Germain, Rovère survived a rape by two acquaintances. In 1954, Rovère's parents sent her to live with an uncle in the United States. She visited Birdland in New York City, where she met cool jazz trumpeter Chet Baker at the height of his fame and they began a romantic relationship. She lived with Baker and accompanied him on tour for two years, and he introduced her as his wife despite his existing marriage. The couple was frequently photographed together, including in a famous shot by William Claxton where Rovère, with a curly pixie cut and black dress, gazes at the viewer while resting her hand on Baker's head. The photograph appears as part of a collage on the cover of Chet Baker Sings and Plays. While on tour, Rovère caused a stir when she spent time with Black people in racially segregatedSt. Louis. Baker and Rovère's romance ended in 1956, when Baker informed her by mail that he'd married another woman. A few years later, Rovère married jazz bassist Gilbert "Bibi" Rovère
