cinema
Session of 4 February 2008
The Screens citizens will have the honor, February 4, receive Patricia Losey, wife and writer the very late Joseph Losey (The Servant, Secret Ceremony, Crash, The Messenger, The Assassination of Trotsky, Mr. Klein, Don Giovanni).
Patricia Losey will present the latest movie directed by her husband, Steaming (1985), which she wrote the screenplay. Film wife, played exclusively by women (Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, Diana Dors), Steaming has hardly ever been screened since its release and is, therefore, fallen into a regrettable oversight that the citizens want the Screens exhumation.
Its purpose is to ease and humanity which today's cinema we have lost the habit In London, Turkish bath is threatened with demolition. A group of women decided to stay back regularly, not only to relax but also to protest against the threatened demolition of this place of healing. There they become accomplices, exchange confidences, share their struggles and solidarity which are discovered feminism and the fight against property speculation converge unexpectedly.
Film Room, performed by the greatest English actresses of today, Steaming seemed naturally enroll in this cycle, let alone when you know that Joseph Losey had to adapt to the movies The Mandarins by Simone de Beauvoir, in full agreement with the writer, and that their joint project failed only by the stupidity of producers who wanted to retain the novel's love story between Anne and Lewis, mutilation Losey refused with the loyalty that the former victim of McCarthyism has always manifested.
Patricia Losey will discuss with the public not only Steaming, but this adaptation project of the Mandarins, especially political beliefs she shared with her husband.
