One May Smile
Struggling, as ever, with the demands of work, family and a precarious love life, Gina Gray finds herself in the world of Scandinavian noir. A trip with students to perform Hamlet in Denmark, at the very castle where Shakespeare sets the play, starts out as an adventure: ‘I like young people, I like Hamlet, I have a predilection in favour of Denmark as a rational, civilised not-too-hot country,’ she tells us. What could possibly go wrong? Almost everything, as it turns out. At the last minute, Gina has to take her three-year-old granddaughter, Freda, with her, David Scott, her ‘boyfriend, partner, lover or significant other’ breaks off contact and the student group turns out to be se...
La Moreau
Based on interviews with Jeanne Moreau and with those closest to her, La Moreau paints an intimate portrait of the internationally renowned French actress. Covering everything from Moreau's work with such Hollywood icons as Orson Welles and Jack Nicholson to her turbulent marriage to director William Friedkin, Marianne Gray sheds brilliant light on the celebrated star.
Jeanne Moreau
Star essentielle du cinéma français depuis un demi-siècle, célébrée dans le monde entier, Jeanne Moreau a toujours vécu et choisi ses rôles sans concessions. Voici la réédition de sa première biographie " à l'anglo-saxonne ", puisée aux meilleures sources, résultat d'une enquête de plusieurs années, de très nombreux entretiens avec Jeanne Moreau elle-même et avec ses proches. Pour la première fois, elle se révèle dans toutes les contradictions de ses nombreuses facettes : la femme volatile, énergique, fragile, passionnée ; l'amie des artistes et écrivains, tels Gide, Picasso, Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Genet, Cocteau ; l'actrice à la fois " cérébrale " et sensuelle de Malle, Truffaut, Renoir, Welles, mais aussi l'alliée des jeunes réalisateurs, celle qui n'hésite pas à soutenir des projets difficiles et à se mettre en danger ; à la ville, l'égérie du couturier Pierre Cardin et l'épouse du réalisateur de L'Exorciste, William Friedkin, ou l'amante émancipée de quelques autres. Voici enfin le portrait cinéphile, à la fois intime et pudique, d'une très grande dame du cinéma qui ne cache rien de ses bonheurs comme de ses blessures.

History of Architectural Theory
As the first comprehensive encyclopedic survey of Western architectural theory from Vitruvius to the present, this book is an essential resource for architects, students, teachers, historians, and theorists. Using only original sources, Kruft has undertaken the monumental task of researching, organizing, and analyzing the significant statements put forth by architectural theorists over the last two thousand years. The result is a text that is authoritative and complete, easy to read without being reductive.
The Freelance Alternative
The world of work is changing quickly. We can no longer be sure of full employment and job security for the rest of our lives. Temporary and part-time work are becoming more and more common, and companies are shedding staff and using flexible, adaptable labour as and when they need it. Today nearly a tenth of workers in Britain are self-employed.
The Medieval Filmscape
This book is an attempt at defining the genre of medieval film by describing its features and analyzing its effects and their significance, there being few works presently available that work toward such definition. There are three parts: the introduction enters the medieval film world, describing its typical features and showing how they create a convincing sense of its time; three short chapters discuss authenticity, simplicity and spectacle--the roots of film medievalism; and six longer chapters comment on individual films. Works are discussed that extend the reach of the genre, such as Dreyer's La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc with its emotional range, or Bergman's Seventh Seal, which creates a universal symbolism. The author describes what goes into a medieval film and how it affects its audience, while offering suggestions about why its themes are meaningful to us.
