El declive del imperio americano (Denys Arcand, 1986)
The film shows men and women wandering around different situations. It seems to be clear that the film has much of generational portrait- although its thesis could perfectly be timeless. The male team is the flank where the director leads all his critical artillery: this great American male—naturally a Western male— self-confident and sure of his intellectual capacities, who finds no objection in making marriage engagement compatible with recurring sexual hiking. Quite the opposite, women in the film endeavour to get out of the imposed path and to search their own emotional route. A personal path where satisfaction of desire takes up a more and more important place. With this precedent of «The Barbarian Invasions» the director built a classic film of independent cinema which resists excellently the test of time.
Created in the nineteenth century, the phone began as a telecommunication device designed to hold conversations through electrical signals. But the passage of time and technological advances have made possible that the use of that “phone” — now turned into “smartphone”— had evolved until present day. Fashion theorists assert that technology is no more than an extension, by other means, of human physical capacities. It would be advisable to add that technology broadens our psychological disorders and widens its scope of social action. And of course, among these psychotropic disorders, love stands out.
This homage to Mila Lambert is the second tribute the MuVIM pays this year. The main purpose is recognizing the life work of those fighting and independent women engaged with life and art. Since 1950 to present day, Mila Lambert has developed a professional career as a painter as well as an illustrator and publisher of children’s literature. Moreover, since the 1970s, she became the holder of the artistic legacy of his father, the engraver André Lambert Jordan and his grandfather, the architect André-Louis Lambert Perret, preserving it and working for its public acknowledgment. In this story of art and familiar ties, the town of Xàbia (Alacant) is intimately bounded to the three Lambert generations.
