Partindo-se de uma análise que identifica a penetração do real na cena ficcional polanskiana, o estudo atravessa as questões presentes no posicionamento dos corpos no espaço até alcançar a encenação do próprio corpo enquanto matéria expressiva. / This paper makes a stylistic study of the oeuvre of the French-Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski from recurrences founded in staging – and understanding the staging as the relation between bodies and spaces in the images of a film. Starting with an analysis that identifies the penetration of reality in the Polanski’s scene, the study permeates the questions presents in the placement of the bodies in the space to reach the staging of the own body as an expressive subject.

Filmmaker Roman Polanski declares in his autobiography that he was greatly influenced by renowned neuropsychologist Richard L. Gregory (1923-2010), whose work, Polanski claims, gave scientific confirmation to many of his own beliefs regarding the nature of perception. Gregory was a strong advocate for what is referred to as the ‘indirect’ theory of perception, a theoretical model that stresses the agency of cognition, specifically hypothesisation, in the act of perceiving. This analysis of Polanski’s cinema is guided by an exploration of perceptual psychology, with special attention paid to how the theory of indirect perception differs from competing, and often more intuitive, models of perception. The two main focuses of this thesis are: a) to identify the ways in which Polanski’s cinematography is actively informed by neuropsychological research on perception, and b) to discuss the various ways in which the key philosophical implications of the theory of indirect perception find expression in his cinema. My analysis will focus primarily on two (unofficial) ‘trilogies’, what I refer to as the ‘Apartment Trilogy’ of Repulsion (1965), Rosemary’s Baby (1968), and The Tenant (1976), and the ‘Investigation Trilogy’ of Chinatown (1974), Frantic (1988) and The Ninth Gate (1999). Also included are minor case studies of Knife in the Water (1962), Death and the Maiden (1994), and The Ghost (2010). This thesis hopes to demonstrate the manner in which Polanski’s cinematic engagement with perceptual psychology evolves over his career, from more psychologically intimate explorations of the perceptual mechanism via portrayals of schizophrenia in his earlier films, to more distant studies of highly proficient perceiving bodies who are nevertheless confronted with serious challenges to their perceptual (and epistemological) frameworks.

This Masters thesis is based on the qualitative content analysis of four autobiographies of film directors Krzysztof Kieslowski, Vojtech Jasny, Roman Polanski and Juraj Herz. The main goal of his thesis is to find out what are the most important aspects of the craft of directing for the selected directors of fiction and documentary films. The second goal is to point to similarities between the craft of journalists and the craft of film directors. The thesis consists of two central parts. In the first part, the craft of the director is analysed from the perspective of personal character traits of the directors. In the second part, the craft is analysed from the perspective of making a film with focus on coming up with ideas, creating scripts and directors the actors. This thesis is written from the perspective of an author who wishes to follow a career in making documentary films.

Yasmina Reza, l’une des dramaturges les plus honorées de la scène internationale, n’hésite pas à faire entrer son art dramatique sur la scène de l’art cinématographique : entre la forme romanesque et la forme dramatique, l’écriture rézienne expérimente également le domaine de l’image. Nous avons souhaité, d’abord, consacrer cette thèse à une étude analytique sur le théâtre rézien et ensuite sur son adaptation au cinéma. À travers ses pièces, Yasmina Reza met en scène des personnages ayant souvent les mêmes obsessions et soucis d’une pièce à l’autre, qui recourent fréquemment au même langage. Entre tragédie et comédie, la dramaturgie de Reza mélange le monologue et le dialogue pour raconter à la fois tout et presque rien. Le temps, l’espace, le décor, souvent simple et neutre, les objets quotidiens, servent à mettre en scène la vie quotidienne dans le théâtre rézien. De ce point de vue les ouvrages de Reza se rapprochent de ceux du cinéaste iranien Kiarostami. Au-delà de la présence des éléments autobiographiques et de la musique dans l’écriture dramatique rézienne, le théâtre de Reza se distingue par un langage spécifique, entre le silence, le non-dit et le récit, entre la conversation et le dialogue. Yasmina Reza déclare s’amuser avec les mises en abyme dans son théâtre, elle expérimente ainsi son premier film en tant que réalisatrice avec Chicas, une adaptation d’Une pièce espagnole qui multiplie les mises en abyme. Yasmina Resa poursuit avec l’écriture d’un scénario, Le pique-nique de Lulu Kreutz, réalisé par Didier Martiny, puis avec l’écriture du scénario de Carnage, d’après sa pièce Le dieu du carnage, en collaboration avec Roman Polanski. Dans cette thèse, nous avons tenté d’étudier l’adaptation des pièces réziennes au cinéma, leurs mises en scène et leurs personnages qui manifestent leurs violence et angoisses face à l’écran. / Yasmina Reza, one of the most honored dramaturge artist internationally, does not hesitate to introduce her dramatic art on the cinematographic scene: in between the Romanesque forme and the dramatic one, the Yasmina Reza also experiments in the pictorial art. In the first instance, we have sought to focus this thesis on an analytic study of the Rezian theater to follow with her work of adaptation to the cinema. In her theatre plays, Yasmina Reza’s characters have often the same obsessions and often use the same language. Between tragedy and comedy, Reza’s dramaturgy weaves with monologue and dialogue to relate about everything and at times almost nothing. Time, space, the setting, often simple and neutral, daily objects, are used to compose the contemporary life in Reza’s plays. From this standpoint, Reza’s theatre plays are echoing with Iranian Kiarostami’s cinema.Beyond the presence of autobiographic elements and references to music in Reza’s plays, her writing is singles out specifically, alternating between silences, the not-said and the narrative, between the conversation and the dialogue. Yasmina Reza affirms enjoying using of mise en abyme in her theatre plays, thus she experiments her first movie as script writer and director of Chicas, an adaptation of Une pièce espagnole which uses many mises en abyme. Yazmina Reza continues writing with the script Le pique-nique de Lulu Kreutz directed by Didier Martiny, then with the writing of the script of Le dieu du carnage, in collaboration with Roman Polanski. In this thesis, we have attempted to study the adaptation of Reza’s plays to the cinema, their dramatization along with their characters who display their violence and anxiety in front of the screen.

Uppsatsen analyserar och jämför hur den psykologiska skräcken och hur de suggestiva effekterna framställs i Ira Levins roman Rosemarys baby och Roman Polanskis filmatisering. Syftet med analysen är att söka svar på just denna fråga. Uppsatsen metoder utgår från närläsning, som är en noggrann och djupgående läsning utav verket, samt adaptionsteori, som är en metod som skapar förståelse för vilka likheter och skillnader som skapas när en roman överförs till film. Analysen visar att filmatiseringens berättande har många likheter med romanen då få scener plockats bort. Analysen visar också att mycket av den psykologiska skräck som existerar i romanen även framställs i filmatiseringen genom ljud, musik och visuella bilder. Trots likheterna mellan roman och film finns det även skillnader, då analysen visar att Polanskis version innehåller större symbolik som kan kopplas till katolicismen och kan således också ses som en tydligare kritik mot den tidens normer och samhällsfrågor.

For my project I shall be writing a feature length screenplay in the horror genre. The screenplay will be entitled

<p>The scope of this investigation is the conditions under which readings of Repulsion (1965), and its depicted mental illness, took place in Sweden during the censorship debates in 1965, and also how the reception was related to narration and subjectivity in the film. The reason for this is the strong reactions to the images of the main character’s inner state, and concerns about negative effects in the public, that were raised. One major concern is how the film articulates discourses through which meanings are produced; that is, how it works as social technology. My thesis is therefore structured around two levels; textual analysis and discourse analysis. In this way, I try to locate meaning and power relations both within and outside the film. My work draws mostly on Edward Branigan’s cognitive theory of narration and Michel Foucault’s thoughts on power and knowledge. I have partly deployed the approach presented by Annette Kuhn, to study the relations of power that are put into play in specific instances. To draw any conclusions I have studied Swedish newspaper articles from 1965 and a summary of the discussion within the Board of Censors. The major findings of the investigation show how the struggles to locate and regulate the meaning of Repulsion ended in the questioning of the very practice of censorship, which even seemed to suggest a moment of transition for the Swedish Board of Censors. Another important finding shows that concerns about Swedish mental care were raised; however, only regarding hospitalisation and treatment of patients and not about underlying, deeper social problems</p>
