  1. based on the novel by Richard McKenna ; screenplay by Robert Anderson ; dir. by Robert Wise

    "Set in China in 1926, it deals with the trials and tribulations of an American gunboat crew who learn to love the natives while trying to save them from their own follies and the depredations of everybody else. Behind its timid criticism of imperialist attitudes, lies a much louder and heartfelt American cry - with China 1926 standing in for Vietnam 1966 - of 'Why doesn't everybody love us when we do our best for you?' To leaven the message, McQueen and Attenborough, as the two most humanitarian members of the crew of a ship run by coolie labour, both get romances: McQueen with Candice Bergen's American mission teacher, Attenborough with Andriane's half-caste girl."

    "“High Noon is the Citizen Kane of Western cinema. It is, simply put, a masterpiece. Every aspect of the film screams precision. The acting, the music, the set, the dialogue, the camerawork, is all perfection. Gary Cooper is flawless in this film, and it will always go down as the greatest role he ever played. It's an allegorical tale about the McCarthy witch hunts, penned by HUAC blacklisted writer Carl Foreman, which also offers a number of well-thought-out observations on the nature of violence. It's a beautifully composed film - courtesy of Floyd Crosby's picturesque sunlight and shadow compositions - which achieves the difficult task of being about morality while avoiding tart sermonising and hollow admonitions.”"

    "Tokyo Clash is an extraordinary encounter with Japanese design culture. Author and photographer Ralf Bahren presents Japan's megacity in a visually stunning collection of images, vividly colourful and rich in contrast. He transports readers on an exciting trip through Japanese everyday life - a world that doesn't want to conform to the cliche of Asian reticence. Eye-catching signs, glittering games of chance, Manga characters and countless other items in this collection of Japanese products compete for the viewer's attention. They exist, apparently without any contradiction, alongside traditional temples and Buddha statues. This delightful book promises appealing, provocative and sometimes absurd insights into a foreign universe."

  6. Rinko Kawauchi
    • Sélection non luxembourgeoise

    "Rinko Kawauchis Werk ist häufig gelobt worden für seine nuancierte Farbgebung und schlafwandlerische Meisterschaft der Komposition sowie die Fähigkeit, durch Achtsamkeit auf kleine Gesten und zufällige Details der alltäglichen Umgebung zu verzaubern. In Illuminance setzt Kawauchi ihre Erforschung des Besonderen im Alltäglichen fort, magisch angezogen von den fundamentalen Zyklen des Lebens und der scheinbar unabsichtlichen, fraktalartigen Ordnung der Natur in formale Strukturen. Präsentiert in einem kostbaren Leinenband mit Japanbindung, stellt diese beeindruckende Zusammenstellung von überwiegend unveröffentlichten Bildern einmal mehr Kawauchis einzigartige Sensibilität und ihre ungebrochene Anziehungskraft auf alle, die Fotografie lieben, unter Beweis. Es ist ihr erstes Buch, das außerhalb Japans erscheint. > Rinko Kawauchi ( 1972) begann ihre Karriere 2001 mit der simultanen Veröffentlichung von drei erstaunlichen Fotobüchern - Utatane, Hanabi, und Hanako - und sicherte sich damit ihre Stellung als eine der weltweit innovativsten Neuentdeckungen der zeitgenössischen Fotografie. Es folgten weitere bemerkenswerte Monografien."

    "In diesem Buch berichtet eine weibliche Führungskraft von ihrem Arbeitsalltag in einer männlich geprägten Umgebung - warum ihrer Sekretärin ein männlicher Chef entschieden lieber wäre, welche Kriterien bei der Neubesetzung einer Führungsposition gelten, wie unterschiedlich Frauen und Männer Verhandlungstiefpunkte überwinden und wie man sich als Frau vergnügt, wenn es die Kollegen nach der Führungskräftetagung ins Rotlichtviertel zieht. Präzise und (selbst)ironisch zeigt das Buch auf, wo die Probleme liegen, die es Frauen in Deutschland so schwer machen, bis in die Führungsetagen vorzudringen. Es bietet einen einzigartigen, aus eigenen Erfahrungen gewonnenen Einblick in das Sozialverhalten der fast ausschließlich männlichen deutschen Wirtschaftselite."

  10. dir. by Philip Kaufman
    • Sélection de la Médiathèque

    "À grands exploits, grand film. Alors qu’il avait peu de films à son actif, Philip Kaufman laisse pas mal de monde dubitatif lorsqu’il décide de s’attaquer à l’hagiographie de la conquête de l’espace vu par les Américains. S'inspirant à l'origine d'un magnifique roman de Tom Wolfe (qui, en bonus, présente lui-même le film), L’Étoffe des héros saisit avec grandeur et justesse le destin de ces hommes décidés à franchir des frontières nouvelles "pour l’humanité". À l’esprit des pionniers (Ed Harris, Fred Ward, Dennis Quaid…) s’oppose évidemment le cow-boy solitaire (Sam Shepard), qui a troqué le cheval pour l’avion supersonique."

    «Nichts war in der DDR so geheim, wie die Arbeitsweise des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit. Die Bedrohung, die vom MfS ausging, war unbestimmt und unkalkulierbar. Selbst Betroffene ahnten oft nicht, wie weit der Arm des MfS reichte. Für fast 100.000 hauptamtliche Mitarbeiter war das MfS jedoch täglicher Arbeitsplatz. Neun von ihnen, zuletzt Generäle oder hohe Offiziere, traten nun vor die Kamera und erzählten vom Innenleben des MfS-Apparates.“

    "RiP: a remix manifesto is an entertaining look at the complex world of copyright law. Beginning with the cutting-edge sounds of Girl Talk, a remix artist who samples other artists to create his own distinctive sound, director Brett Gaynor argues that more relaxed fair use legislation is the only way forward. Avoiding the dryness of its subject, RiP is as fast paced, energetic and colourful as its subject. It will play well amongst the younger generation, for whom copyright infringement and the harsh penalties they can incur is a growing issue. It also features enough debate for general audiences, as it moves from music to pharmaceutical companies and their control over drug prices, no matter the human cost. A vigorous broadside against the perceived corporate control of contemporary copyright legislation, and an impassioned plea in support of elastic fair-use laws, RiP! A Remix Manifesto was made to provoke and certainly does that."

    • Sélection non luxembourgeoise

    "The authors examine how linguistic variation and change in the major French-speaking countries of Europe -- France, Belgium and Switzerland -- has in recent times reflected social convergence or 'levelling'. Linguistic levelling, which results in fewer differences between social and regional accents and diminishes the prestige of the standard language, is seen very clearly in a country like the UK, where social differences are revealed in urban accents, or have been until recently. "

    «In the mid 50s, Swiss-born New Yorker Robert Frank embarked on a ten-thousand-mile road trip across post-war America, capturing thousands of photographs of all levels of a rapidly changing society. The resultant photo-book, The Americans, represents a seminal moment in both photography and in America's emerging understanding of itself. To mark the book's fiftieth anniversary, Jonathan Day revisits this pivotal work and contributes a thoughtful and revealing critical commentary. Though the importance of The Americans has been widely acknowledged, it still retains much of its mystery. This comprehensive analysis places it thoroughly in the context of contemporary photography, literature, painting, music and advertising.»

Also included are new colour photographs of the mannequins, the reconstructed sets, and close-up details of clothing.»

  20. Sheila Heti
    • Sélection non luxembourgeoise

    "Reeling from a failed marriage, Sheila, a playwright, finds herself unsure of how to live and create. When Margaux, a talented painter and free spirit, and Israel, an artist, enter her life, Sheila hopes that through close observation of her new friend and herself, she might regain her footing in art and life. Heti describes her novel as book of constructed reality, based on recorded interviews with her friends, particularly the painter Margaux Williamson. It was chosen by The New York Times as one of the 100 Best Books of 2012 and by James Wood of The New Yorker as one of the best books of the year. In an interview, the Canadian writer noted, "Increasingly I’m less interested in writing about fictional people, because it seems so tiresome to make up a fake person and put them through the paces of a fake story…"
