the statistics cited in the film suggest that the revolution in childbirth from home to hospital was spurred by technology, which increasingly turned it into a surgical procedure involving multiple, often unnecessary interventions. in 1900 95 percent of births in the united states took place at home. by 1938 the number had shrunk to half. today the number is less than 1 percent .

“the business of being born” is a passionate ground - level examination of home childbirth, anchored in a scene in which its executive producer, ricki lake, the actress and former talk - show host, gives birth to her second child in a bathtub. that graphic scene, and several other unblinking sequences of home birth attended by a midwife, are intended to erase any stigma from the situation. practiced widely in europe and japan, home birth has largely disappeared in the united states, the documentary states, because of an image as a primitive, unsanitary ritual .

home is a movie starring isabelle huppert, olivier gourmet, and adélaïde leroux. life for an isolated rural family is upended when a major highway next to their property, constructed 10 years before but apparently abandoned, is finally opened .
this is a fantastic film which, to start off with seems quite ordinary. but as the film goes on becomes much more complicated, its a film about family life, love, joy, and the world we live in today. the acting is flawless and irecomend this to anyone who enjoys a movie thats actually about real life .
movie - going was by and large the only way to see films for most of the twentieth century. television appeared in the mid - 1950s, but it didn’t become a place for film until the 1980s, when video technology allowed movies to be watched at home for the first time. video technology introduced a more radical change, as spectators could choose their movie at a video rental store and then see it at home, individualizing the time and the place for cinema. as cable tv channels and companies began to multiply, households were treated to an impressive selection of movies .
you’ve probably heard about the strangers. the horror flick about a young couple in a remote vacation house that is being terrorized by some strangers. a true home invasion terror that shocked audiences back in 2008. but what you might not have known is that the strangers was based off a very true story. fine, fine, i’ll admit that it’s a bit of a stretch – but one thing is certain: it was definitely inspired by very true and very horrific events. let’s take a look .

the one exception in the movie is the breach - birth hospital delivery of abby epstein, the film’s director and one of its producers. (her husband, paulo netto, is one of its producers as well as its cinematographer .) the movie’s recognition that natural childbirth in the home isn’t the answer for everyone keeps “the business of being born” from turning into a one - note polemic .

hoffman saw the film for the first time at a sneak preview on east 84th street, in new york. “i was sitting in the balcony, ” he recalls, “and suddenly it was like a train gaining momentum, and by the time we were halfway through, the film was having a wild response. by the time i’m running to the church [ at the film’s climax ], the audience was just standing up, screaming and yelling. it was a profound experience—i was literally shaking through the whole film. ”

after the film was completed, larry turman began screening it in “the show - business halls of hollywood, ” in hoffman’s phrase. the results were not good. turman feared the film was going to be unsuccessful, because at all those hollywood homes, industry insiders would come up to him afterward and say, “this could have been a great film if nichols hadn’t badly miscast the lead. ”
an entry in “the bad seed” mode, “home movie” tells us the story of the poe family. father david (adrian pasdar), mother clare (cady mcclain) & twins emily & jack (amber joy & austin williams). they live a pretty peaceful life in the remote woods of upstate new york. david is a pastor & clare is a child psychologist. the film is mostly shot in a cinema verite fashion by david with his home video camera. he basically just follows the family around as they go about their day to day business. but we pretty much know something is wrong with the kids as soon as we meet them since they don’t speak to their parents at all. they do communicate with each other though, sometimes seemingly telepathically but the film doesn’t really elaborate on this point much .
this film is a brilliant metaphor while succeeding as an ace story all on its own. huppert as always is firing on all cylinders .
studies on film distribution and reception are especially important today in order to comprehend a highly dynamic context. however, film reception has received little attention in scholarly research in argentina and it has been quite difficult to access disaggregated data on spectators and their consumption. this has changed in recent years, however, as diverse institutions and research programs have prioritized the study of film reception, making better data available for investigators .
home movie is a movie starring adrian pasdar, cady mcclain, and amber joy williams. in the remote woods of upstate new york, david and clare poe are attempting to live an idyllic life. however, their twin children' s bizarre behavior might just tear the family apart .
outside theaters, the predominant social practice in movie consumption is home viewing on television, cable tv, the dvd player and the computer. the cinematographic experience is being transformed by multiple screens and individual, ubiquitous and fragmentary viewing strategies. both formal and informal channels are used for this consumption, which represents a challenge for film studies to rework both its theories and methodologies. there is a need to shift the focus away from “institutional cinema” and add alternative types of film circulation and viewing to the agenda; far from exceptional, these alternatives have become so common that they are the way most films are seen today. it is thus essential to expand the research agenda to include informal film circulation; film practices and consumption strategies in households; spectator preferences in terms of places and viewing devices; and the association of certain venues with certain types of films .
i have a relatively low tolerance for noise, so i would have great difficulty coping with having a highway in my front yard. in other words, i would not stick around. isabelle huppert' s character in home also has a low tolerance for noise, but she insists on sticking around when a dormant highway comes to life right next to her family' s house. she is stuck and therefore her family is stuck; the rest of the family is willing to move, but they won' t leave without her. the beginning of home has some light moments, as well as an impending sense of dread brought on by the knowledge that the traffic is coming. the middle of the film feels a bit…

the kind of person who' d be inclined to seek the film out is probably not the kind of person who' d regret that decision .
some viewers saw it when it premiered at cannes in 2008 – one of the most controversial films to hit the festival since gaspar noé’s irreversible – while others caught it later that year at london’s frightfest. others first heard about it through word of mouth – through reports of audiences fainting in the aisles and vomiting after watching its scenes of extreme torture .
when i am going to see a movie with a lot of special effects, a movie that is visually stunning like avatar or gravity, i think you miss out if you watch it at home. i prefer to see movies like these at a nice theater where i know i am going to get the most out of it. sometimes i check to see if the movie’s being shown in 3 - d. i usually go to the hoyts theater at the abasto mall. but for other films that don’t have any of that, i’d rather just watch them at home.

there’s a “supernatural” aspect hinted at in the film. i think this was what you were talking about in your review. i wish the film would’ve added more clues to this. i think would’ve been tricky however to do this and keep this film’s same “hum drum americana” feel to it so i don’t hold too much of a grudge on this point. yeah i liked this film a lot. i’ve been onna “found footage horror movie” binge and i swear if i have to watch another “ghost hunter goes to a haunted asylum that was used as a tb hospital” movie i think i might pull a jack and emily show myself .
powerful and incredibly well acted, this film documents the gradual disintegration of a happy, loving, unworldly family as the modern world slowly takes over their lives .
perhaps more than any other horror film, martyrs demonstrates the range of the genre' s capabilities to find ways to excite, provoke, and disturb us .
there are a lot of theories behind the true story behind the strangers but the director bryan bertino has confirmed that he combined his haunting childhood experience with the tragic manson murders and set a plot that revolves around the idea of “what if you were in your house and a group of people decided to brake in? ” this is a scenario that many can relate since it could happen to anyone at anytime. the phrase “because you were home” became the slogan for some of the posters for the movie and appears in the film when the unlucky couple asks their tormentors “why? ” so sure, maybe the manson murders aren’t a direct true story of the strangers – but with this being one of the more famous home invasions in history and bertino confirming his inspiration through the story – we consider this to be some mighty scary real world horror .
fuller - seeley has published book chapters in numerous anthologies on topics such as film stars shirley temple, and rin tin tin, dish night giveaways in depression - era movie theaters, early tv audiences, film exhibition and moviegoing history. she is featured in the 2017 motion picture history documentary “saving brinton” (northland films). she has been a consultant on pbs documentaries on actress mary pickford, and comedian bob hope, and for other moviegoing history documentaries and museum exhibits. she is currently working on scholarly projects about silent film directors / actors francis ford and grace cunard, jack benny’s television program, and early traveling film exhibition in the midwest and northeast .
has anybody ever heard of this picture? i think i read a small article about it a few years ago in fangoria magazine but i never saw it in a store or for rental or anything afterwards. but as i was perusing through netflix one evening i saw the title & remembered reading about it so i added it to my queue expecting little from it. boy, was i surprised! “home movie” is one of the most disturbing movies i’ve seen in a long time & as all of you know, the black saint has pretty much seen them all. if i had seen this when it was actually released (2008) i might have given it a “best of the year” nod. it’s really that good .
after being rescued by rhodes, stark returns home and announces that his company will no longer manufacture weapons, having seen first hand the strife that his weapons had caused in the wrong hands. obadiah stane, his father' s old partner and the company' s manager, advises stark that this may ruin stark industries and his father' s legacy .
she is also the author of at the picture show: small town audiences and the creation of movie fan culture (smithsonian 1996 / university press of virginia 2001), an examination of how film exhibition and moviegoing culture spread across the u. s. in the early silent film era. she is co - author (with garth jowett and ian jarvie) of children and the movies: media influence and the payne fund controversy (cambridge, 1996), a study of the first large - scale academic study of media influence on children in the 1930s. she edited hollywood in the neighborhood: historical case studies of local moviegoing (university of california 2008). she has written celebrate richmond theater (dietz press, 2001), a history of 200 years of stage presentation and film exhibition in virginia’s capital city. one thousand nights at the movies: an illustrated history of motion pictures 1895 - 1915 (co - authored with q. david bowers) (whitman, 2013), is a richly - illustrated history of the origins of film production and exhibition in the u. s .
martyrs is an absolute recommend, but only to those who are willing to accept the film on its own uncompromising terms. all others are advised to stay well clear away .
movie - going is part of the universe of cultural consumption among middle and upper - middle class youth, but is far from a common outing. these young people generally go to the movies two or three times a year to see a movie they are especially interested in or because their family or a group of friends has decided to go. several of the young people i interviewed noted that they go to the movies less and less, partly because of the ticket cost and other associated costs (transport, food and beverage). however, the top reason for not going to the movies was that they could stay in to watch the films on high quality home entertainment systems while enjoying all the comforts associated with the home .
rather different, then, from our own. the real sticks, the reception of this film seems to suggest, may lie a little further north than the pas de calais .
throughout the course of the film we see lucie suffer gruesome hallucinations and self - mutilate due to past trauma, and witness the bloody massacre of a family of four – children included .
in a film filled with savagery and horror, it’s a moment that shocks to the core: a reminder that unexpected tenderness can be as viscerally, skin - shiveringly affecting as torture .
in this way, different contemporary scholars are drafting a new agenda for film studies where film reception and the conditions for film circulation are two critical issues; a third important consideration is film outside theaters, on other types of screens. in this regard, eduardo russo (2016) explores the diverse ways in which spectators embody their relationship to films, suggesting that “new spectator configurations” challenge the market order, questioning its rules and multiplying alternatives. in keeping with the idea that today’s media landscape is characterized by “four screens” – the big screen, the television screen, and the computer and cell phone screens (artopoulos, 2011) – the author suggests that the secret lies not in distinguishing among them but in evaluating the interactions and interplays between them .
directed by abby epstein; director of photography, paulo netto; edited by madeleine gavin; produced by ms. epstein, amy slotnick and mr. netto; released by red envelope entertainment and international film circuit. at the ifc center, 323 avenue of the americas, at third street, greenwich village. running time: 1 hour 27 minutes. this film is not rated .
in other words, spectators choose to watch less exceptional films – or films with a lower budget for visual effects – at home, either on tv or on the computer. argentine films are usually included in this lot and their value, according to the young people interviewed, is associated with showing characters and places they can culturally relate to, and plots and stories that are “familiar” to some degree .
this seems like a good time to evaluate what these policies have achieved and to what extent – if any – they have resonated with spectators. over the course of the decade, film has undergone myriad changes, including the transition to digital cinematography and digital projection systems at commercial theaters; new strategies for film production, distribution and exhibition; the rise of new spectacle cinema focused on visual enthrallment; a certain lull in the enthusiasm surrounding nuevo cine argentino 2; the appearance of new generations of directors; the consolidation of argentina’s film industry; a new local star system; and others .
leno and rosemary labianca was a successful business couple that lived in los feliz, la. on august 10th 1969 they returned to their home at 3301 waverly drive from lake isabella where they spent most of their weekend. what happened later that day was a nightmare coming true, especially for rosemary who was already worried and alarmed by the multiple murders that happened the previous night in the neighborhood. she was rightfully worried…

a married couple becomes stranded at an isolated motel and finds hidden video cameras in their room. they soon realize that unless they escape, they' ll be the next victims of a snuff film .
finally, it is interesting to note that film support policies that regulate what is shown in theaters do not consider this very relevant aspect of contemporary film consumption. while for years a theatrical release has been considered a “key” that unlocks other exhibition spaces (in a sequence that moves from the theater to video to television), it is now necessary to rethink this approach. film policies in argentina – and more broadly, across latin america – must respond to the new consumption trends, supporting national cinema so that it not only finds its way into theaters but also reaches the diverse screens where spectators now enjoy movies .
“as a kid, i lived in a house on a street in the middle of nowhere. one night, while our parents were out, somebody knocked on the front door and my little sister answered it. at the door were some people asking for somebody who didn’t live there. we later found out that these people were knocking on doors on the area and, if no one was home, breaking into the houses”

here are some of the disadvantages laid out in the film: obstetricians have surgical training, but the film contends that many have never seen a fully natural birth and are therefore unprepared to supervise one. because hospitals are businesses that thrive on a high turnover, drugs to induce and speed labor (and that often make it more intense and painful) serve the system by filling and emptying beds at a faster rate .
so, much like benjamin braddock, when hoffman went back to los angeles to make the film, he moved in with his parents in their home off mulholland drive. but it lasted only about a week, and then he checked into the chateau marmont, at his own expense, where he would hang out at the pool after a day of filming. “i was so aware of people sitting around the pool and of how different i looked from them. i remembered this was how i felt when i’d moved out of this town 10 years [ earlier ]. so, yes, i was right back where i didn’t want to be. ”
i know i late on the review but just say it and read it. i have a theory with the sudden fast forward in the film. i thought that maybe the kids are operating the camera when the film diary comes on. like we are watching the footage as they are watching it. that’s why it fast forwards through certain parts. and at the end the kids stop watching and start recording! !! !
imagine a movie called the graduate. it stars robert redford as benjamin braddock, the blond and bronzed, newly minted college graduate adrift in his parents’ opulent home in beverly hills. and candice bergen as his girlfriend, the overprotected elaine robinson. ava gardner plays the predatory mrs. robinson, the desperate housewife and mother who ensnares benjamin. gene hackman is her cuckolded husband. it nearly happened that way. that it didn’t made all the difference .
cinema has been reinvented outside movie theaters as well, entering homes and becoming ubiquitous thanks to the screens on mobile devices. thus, our times are characterized by a relatively low level of movie ticket sales and a boost in movie consumption in sites other than theaters. the most recent reinvention of the cinema is linked to the intensification of film as a spectacle, that is, the visual impact and special effects that are best appreciated in the theater, not in the home. this can be seen in the fact that today’s blockbusters utilize digital technology, 3 - d and special effects, in a phenomenon that has been dubbed “new spectacle cinema” because it appeals to the senses .
movie - going is one of the cultural practices that has changed the most in the past decades due to technological innovations and to theater owners’ strategies to preserve profit margins in a complex scenario. a brief historic overview will reveal how moviegoer practices have changed: moviegoers returned to theaters after abandoning them for a time, but they incorporated new ways of approaching film texts in the interim. on more than one occasion, movie theaters have seemed in danger of extinction, but they have flexibly adapted to come up with new appealing ways of watching film collectively. these reinventions of the film experience occurred, as we will see, in a close collaboration with hollywood’s major studios .
eight years ago, the horror community was electrified – a term that implies both a shock and an excited, skin - prickling awakening – by the release of a resolutely bleak french - language film named martyrs. directed by the hitherto obscure pascal laugier and starring unknown actresses morjana alaoui and mylène jampanoï, the film, a low - budget french - canadian production made for just under three million euros, quickly began to assert its place in horror movie history .

in keeping with a broader trend, as we mentioned earlier, young people rarely go to the movies, with a few exceptions. however, it is also true and increasingly more evident that they see plenty of films, though their viewing practices vary along with the places, screens and ways they watch. it is time for film studies to give this phenomenon the attention it deserves in order to incorporate unofficial types of film circulation and consumption to the research agenda .

bienvenue chez les ch' tis has now attracted over 20 million admissions on its home turf. yet, though its debut commandeered 793 french screens, it has enjoyed only microscopic exposure in britain. that bewildering title cannot have helped its prospects on this side of the channel. in desperation, the uk distributors have now changed it to
welcome to the sticks
, but, while this may sound less off - putting, it misses most of the point of what is a distinctly peculiar movie .
for the audition, nichols had also brought in katharine ross, a 24 - year - old actress and california native who had made her film debut in 1965 as jimmy stewart’s daughter - in - law in shenandoah. the french actress simone signoret, with whom ross had worked in the 1967 film games, had recommended ross to nichols. “i remember meeting dustin in mike’s office, ” says ross, seated at an outdoor café in malibu, not far from the home she shares with her husband, the actor sam elliott. “dustin was from new york. he was all dressed in black, and you know, we’re all tan out here, ” she says, laughing. “he looked like he had crawled out from under a rock. he wasn’t at all interested in being in a movie or anything—or at least that’s what he said. he was very funny, very fresh. he just kind of said whatever was on his mind. now nothing shocks anybody, but back then …! ”

in his fabulous hyperbolic film australia, baz luhrmann has leaped over the ruins of the
history wars
and given australians a new past - a myth of national origin that is disturbing, thrilling, heartbreaking, hilarious and touching. at its centre are two forbidden love stories: one a romance between the english lady sarah and the drover; and the other, which carries the film and all its historical and social subtext, is the love of lady sarah for the mixed - race boy, nullah .
in argentina, it has been a decade since regulations on film exhibition were implemented (2004 - 2014). the aim of the screen quota and film attendance minimum was to protect argentine films, ensuring their theatrical release at local theaters and keeping them in theaters as long as certain requirements were met 1. in keeping with these policies, a certain number of argentine films are released in theaters each month and if weekly viewership remains at a given level, the theater is required to continue showing the film the following week. with these regulations, incaa sought to increase the exhibition venues for argentine films and reduce the prevalence of foreign films showing at commercial venues. fundamentally, the aim was to place certain limits on the alliances between the hollywood majors and large multiplexes .
the film, which cost $ 3 million to make, became the highest - grossing motion picture of l968. it earned $ 35 million in its first six months, after playing in only 350 theaters around the country. the new yorker devoted 26 pages of its july 27, 1968, issue to jacob brackman’s critical dissection of the film, in which he called it “the biggest success in the history of movies. ” despite such high praise, though, nichols felt that a lot of the reviews missed the mark, describing it as a film about the generation gap. “at that particular moment, ‘the generation gap’ was everything. it never even entered our minds! the generation gap? was it worse than romeo and juliet? what’re they talking about? ”
“mike is ruthless when it comes to artistic decisions, ” buck henry says. “the play’s the thing. he will shut a film down, he’ll throw a film away, he’ll fire someone, he’ll do some really mean stuff in the editing. ” but it was a good move for everyone, buck henry felt, “because gene went immediately on to bonnie and clyde and worked for mike in other films, ” during a 40 - year friendship with the director. mr. robinson’s shoes were admirably filled by murray hamilton .
when the outside world, in the form of a road crew, does come knocking it isn’t unexpected, for the family or us. you know something is coming, just not what. (the setup seems too strange to last, and every tribe faces its extinction .) after the workmen in bright orange appear, the big trucks start rumbling down the highway, shaking the foundation of the house. the french - swiss director, ursula meier, making her feature debut, has wittily characterized the film as the opposite of a road movie, “it is its negation in some way, ” which becomes more evident when traffic starts flowing. but “home” is, as with so many family stories, also something of a disaster movie: the walls shudder and crack, and eventually so do the people inside them.
