Period films are those which are set in the background of historical period with some exceptions. There are certain standards that have to be maintained to classify a film as a period film. All the things including the sets, props, costumes, style, and characters will have to symbolize the time and background of the event.


Producing Hollywood period films is always considered as a very expensive task; for this requires huge grand sets and design costumes that reflect the style of the era in which the story takes place.


Many film critics have said that whenever Hollywood scriptwriters lack scripts, they go for a period film. But since most of the period films are big successes, who minds? Filmmakers believe that making a period film is a very tough job, since most of the contemporary actors know very little about the attributes of characters from the past or from the epics. It is very difficult to imagine their mannerisms and states of mind and finally to portray them. It is a tough job for both the actors as well as the directors.


Over the years there have been some very popular Hollywood period films. Braveheart (1995), directed and produced by Mel Gibson, was a huge success critically as well as commercially. It won the 1995 Academy Award for best picture, best director, best cinematographer, best makeup and best sound editing. Braveheart went on to become one of the biggest masterpieces in the whole industry.

 

In the last two weeks in October, I have been on a magical world tour that included the US, France, Italy, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan and India, to mention a few. But as all these countries came to me in London, I only had to travel to London. Before you all wonder if I have gone crazy, let me tell you that the Times BFI 51st London Film Festival made it possible! There were around 184 feature films and 133 short films from 43 countries, shown at various venues in London. The Festival Started on 17 October, with the opening night gala showing David Cronenberg’s ‘Eastern Promises’ and finished on 1 November, with the closing night gala showing Wes Anderson’s ‘The Darjeeling Limited’, a train voyage across India. Few films from the festival are reviewed below and I hope you enjoy the tour as much as I did.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: Julian Schnabel/France.

What does one say after witnessing such brilliance! Perhaps, ‘Thank God for the London Film Festival’, without which I could not have seen this most wonderful French film! Brilliance in performance, acting, photography and technical details were evident through the film, making it totally gripping to the very end. The directorial skill was at its best in the restrain showed at the most crucial moments. The film is based on a true story. J D Bauby, the editor of French Vogue suffered a stroke and the film starts as he comes out of a coma after 20 days. He was diagnosed with a rare ‘locked in syndrome’, which left him with his memory and only the movement of his left eye! With the help of the speech therapist, through the alphabet of blinking, he tells his story which became a best seller.

In its fifth decade, the Festival continues to present special appearances by legendary international actors and directors, along with the impressive film line-up for which the Festival is known. Audiences this year will be captivated by 116 feature films, 38 short and student films, and 18 documentaries from more than 45 countries, showcasing both established and promising new filmmakers. “

 

For 44 years, we’ve been committed to taking you all across the globe to discover some of the most exciting cinema the world has to offer, right here in Chicago for two weeks only,” said Michael Kutza, Founder and Artistic Director of the Chicago International Film Festival. “This isn’t your typical Saturday night out at the movies – these are once-in-a-lifetime events. And this year we’ve set up camp in a new Festival Village to create an even stronger sense of community where you can come out, see the films, meet the people who make them, mingle with your fellow film fans, and most importantly see the world in a whole new way.”

 

Movie-making Turks haven’t been shy about including earthy subjects or fleshy cinematic scenes in their films since as far back as the 1950′s. That’s when street-walking prostitutes, drug-dependent harem girls, topless damsels in distress, soapy half-naked bathers, sexually provocative belly dancers, and uninvited-lovemaking first began appearing in conventional Turkish moving-pictures.

The ‘intensity’ of erotic action in conventional Turkish films escalated in the 1960′s when ‘lite’ erotic opposite-sex scenes began to heat up. And in Atif Yilmaz’s otherwise conventional Iki Gemi Yanyana (Two Ships Side by Side), the first lesbian Turkish movie scene — a scorcher for its day, in which Suzan Avci and Sevda Nur french-kissed on camera — gave Turkish movie goers a shock when it was first shown in 1963.

Female cinematic sex-symbols during the ‘Age of the Turkish Vamp’ (1950s – 1960s) included Neriman Köksal (who made 177 films between 1950 to 1995), Funda Yanar [pictured on our website as a topless dancer in Büyük Sehrin Kanunu (Big City Law, 1965] and Leyla Sayar — who, in 1960, performed a memorably bold (we are told) strip-tease act in Atif Yilmaz’s Ölüm Perdesi (Death Curtain)…

But Leyla Hanim drew the line in 1972, when she realized the direction in which the seks filmleri furyasi (erotic films boom) would lead her. And after a short stint as a night club dancer, she quit the entertainment business altogether… opting instead for a simple, pious life.
