Mar 15, 2017 · Like popular musicals of the past and present, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg appropriates gay culture. There are discreet, homosexual gestures throughout the film, such as a sailor waiting for his client under a lamp post. This image has become archetypal in Queer Cinema and was replicated 18 years later in Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Querelle.
Sep 22, 2014 · If we accept Jonathan Rosenbaum's assertion that Demy was a gay (or arguably bisexual) man, "living in [a] highly formalized middle-class societ[y] where 'coming out' was not regarded as a viable option" (49), then it is possible to see A Slightly Pregnant Man as the beginning of a kind of cinematic "coming out" for Demy, a process that would ...
Apr 4, 2010 · Stylistically, Demy is as distinct from Beineix as a Greek tragedy is from a Chanel advertisement. If Demy’s film seems outmoded or “old-fashioned” in any way, it may be that Une chambre en ville – like so much of his work – can be “read” as an essentially homosexual story in heterosexual guise.

On a donc contacté Anne E. Duggan pour en savoir plus sur sa démarche, entamée presque par hasard. « Je suis spécialiste des contes de fées. Dans le cadre d’un groupe de recherche sur le sujet, on a regardé Peau d’âne. J’ai tout de suite été fascinée par cette esthétique complètement nouvelle pour moi. Notamment l’aspect camp du film.» Des robes mo...
Pourtant, pour les cinéastes Olivier Ducastel et Jacques Martineau, héritiers possibles de Jacques Demy (cf. leur film Jeanne et le garçon formidable, sorti en 1998), le travail d’Anne E. Duggan a été « salutaire». Olivier Ducastel : « Il y a plein de gens qui ne comprennent absolument pas ce que veut dire le mot queer, surtout en France. Ils disen...
Il développe, tout au long de son texte, l’idée que Geneviève (Catherine Deneuve) entreprend une sorte de coming out en affichant son amour pour Guy, mécanicien dans un garage. Un amour socialement interdit (notamment par la mère, qui fait tout pour y mettre fin), d’où le fait que Geneviève le mettra au placard et épousera, contrainte, un homme à l...

Jul 1, 2014 · Despite being the director of one of the most significant French films of the 1960s, Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (1964), Jacques Demy remains one of the more critically neglected of the new-wave directors. To date there has been no anglophone study of his entire career, and few francophone ones, most notably those by Jean-Pierre Berthomé (1982 ...

It aims to investigate and politicise Demy’s marginalisation in French film culture, and place his cinema in its social and cinematic context in a way that few previous studies have done. Demy’s films trouble hierarchies of cultural ...
