Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Inspired by a particular shot which hints at a dimension of the film which could be elaborated if the narrative were oriented slightly differently, this essay seeks to amplify the idea that the spy story of Notorious is a means to articulate ideas around gender, jealousy and sexual insecurity.

La Ciénaga Alternative Trailer
1
An exercise by Michael Talbott
plain
2016-04-30T11:44:11-07:00
Michael Talbott’s trailer for La Ciénaga (Lucrecia Martel, Argentina, 2001) invites the viewer to ask not ‘Is this a story I want to see?’ but rather ‘Is this a cinematic experience I want to have? Is this a cinematic world I want to inhabit?’
