MOJ CINEMATEQUE:PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN

Philip Seymour Hoffman 1967-2014
...

Faramarz Soleimani Only a great soul can act as a great soul. In Capote Philip Seymour Hoffman showed us he was more Capote than himself with his facial impression ,changing voice and body language. One may leave the argument about this matter of why smart artists are unable to outsmart alcohol and drugs,and in case of Hoffman and many others come up with a destroyed body and mind,and in many other cases with lost creativity and power of acting. What today can be mentioned is this whole happening is a loss. A loss for the artist and a loss for society who is in need of peace and love ,the real artist can provide. After Generation of Giants like Marlon Brando,Paul Newman , Peter O'Toole who went back to cave and disappeared , we need artists like him,not to mention Sean Penn and his peers,and we can not afford losing them one by one.Death to drugs and Overdose! Be smart silly boys and girls! Stay with us please . We need your mental and psychological protection in this gigantic wilderness.

MOJ CINEMATEQUE:ELMER GANTRY,THE CHARLATAN

فرامرز سلیمانی 
آرتیسته   گاهی در او کی کرال هفت تیر می کشید 
گاهی با لولو بندبازی می کرد 
گاهی آپاچی بود 
و گاهی از اینجا تا ابدیت عاشق بود 
اما اگر المر گنتری نشده بود 
هیچ کس محلش نمی گذاشت 
اصلن جایزه را باید به المر گنتری می دادند 
نه به برت لنکستر شارلاتان

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA IN CINEMA UNIVERSAL

me&peter o' toole
در گوشه ی لژ سینما یونیورسال
پتر آمد کنار من نشست
و طبل ها به صدا در آمد
تام تام ...تام تام
از کوچه ها که می گذشتیم
افسر آمد گفت
لارنس اصلن عرب نبود
و من موافق بودم
پس هر کس عرب نبود
باید شلاق بخورد
و لارنس موافق نبود
پس لاشه اش را آوردند انداختند
توی گل و لای و لوش و لجن
و از آن پس لارنس شد
لارنس عربستان

CINEMA PARADISOسینما پردیس

FARAMARZ SOLEIMANI:
سینما پردیس 
سانس اول PART 1
این جرقه ی پنهان 
که می جرقد جرق  و جرق 
در جرق تن ها مان 
پس چرا پنهانش می خوانیم 
پس چرا پنهانش 
می  داریم 
آن سان نزدیک منست این آتش 
که می اندیشم 
دور ترش نگاه دارم 
سانس دوم PART 2
می ترسا ندم 
اما از چه ام می ترسا ندم 
این جرقه ی پنهان 
که  آتش می کشاندم 
شاید تصویر می ترسا ندم 
در جوشش و جنبش قطا ری 
چو چو چو و و و 
که پیش از ایستادن 
می گذرد   بی مقصد  
از فرش جرقه و 
راه 
FINE
سینما پردیس در آتش 
نه مثل سینما  رکس یا مایاک 
اما تماشا گران 
در اشک و اه 
به خانه ها شان می روند 
و باران بهار 
در بهشت تماشا 
دم سانسور را قیچی می کند 



LINES AND POINTS:FOR CHARLIE CHAPLIN

Faramarz Soleimani اان كه هميشه ميرود هميشه انست كه مي رود تا هندسه ي راه را در قطب نماي بنهان كم كندthe one who always going. Is always the one who is going to lose the hidden compass 
Of the always of the road

GREAT GATSBY NOT OSCAR WORTHY

GREAT GATSBY 2013,not an Oscar worthy movie.
Acting is mediocre and slow despite all those shouting back and forth .
The production is very much Hollywoodesque to satisfy action thirsty audiance ,and because of that love scenes look pale,and close ups won't help.
Computer is playing a big role in this production to make it different with previous one, and still does not help.So if any credit probably goes to the long festivities and glowing partes,if not the music and somehow editing,to provide further excitement for today's cinema goers.
I am going back to read Scott Fitzgerald's novel again and watch Robert Redford and Mia Farrow once more .
Are oldies still goodies or we just think?!
Are computers a deviant catalyst in cinematography or we are just used to conventional movie making?
Is the time over for  grand literary works translating to cinema or we do not have to loose our patience and hope?
Is TCM shown on small screen in our living room preferred to expensive productions shown on silver screen of movie theatres?
And the band goes on...
Never give up on the seventh art!
A pure cinema is preferred to anything,even...!

LITTLE CHAP:CHARLIE CHAPLIN...چ

 Charlie Chaplin ,from Zohreh Khaleghi,charcoal on paper
Ch
from Faramarz Soleimani's Lines and Points
چ 
از کتاب خطها و نقطه ها 
تاریخ سرودن : مارچ ١٩٧٣ فیلادلفیا 
چ .اول ،موج و واژه ١٣٦٠
باز نشر چهارم ،باشگاه ادبیات  ٢٠١٢/١٣٩١
 چ 
چلچراغ بلورین کهنه 
از راههای دور 
بر فرش سرخ آمد 
و سقف آویز کوچه شد 
چ 
با بغض خند 
چشمان خواب زده ی کوچه را 
خیره کرد 
پشت استخوان خانه ها 
خم شد 

چ - 
دیری ست به انتظاریم 
قلب کوچکت 
در این سال های سیاه 
کجا می تپید ؟

چلچراغ خزید 
چلچراغ جوانه زد 
چلچراغ تمام کوچه  شد 
تمام شهر شد 

چ - 
دست ها ما ن را بگیر 
که قرن 
قرن تنهایی ست 
قرن قاره های تنهاست 

چلچراغ سوسو زد 
و از خم کوچه گذشت 
و پرید 
از این ساحل تا آن ساحل 
: و بر جا نهاد 

سبلتی بر خط هایی غمین 
کلاهی سوکوا ر 

مرغان چرمی رویاروی 
و عصایی 
با لاله یی بر آن 

چ - 
چلچراغ خاموش راه های دور 
! دیدار به  همیشه 

The mirror is my best friend 
When I am crying
She is not laughing

FEDERICO FELLINI IS NOT DEAD

Federico Fellini is not dead on 31 October 1993
That was a rumor
Dreamer never dies...
Do not pull me off rainbow
Amarcord Fellini's Amarcord 
I want a woman 
This is what the lover screamed 
on a tree
And dreamer never dies

ANDREW SARRIS:THE AUTHOR IS DEAD

ANDREW SARRIS (1928-2012),dies at 83.
The controversialist espoused autor theory in 1960.He first announced in the Bohemian newspaper,The Village Voice:
"Hitchcock is the most daring avant-garde filmmaker in american today."
Sarris then championed introducing the so called foreign movies by writing on auteur-filmmakers like Francois Truffaut,Jean-Luc Goddard ,Antonioni,Ingmar Bergman,Akira Kurosawa,extending his discussion on American Authors such as Orson wells and John Ford,or even Martin Scorcese ,but probably missing Charlie Chaplin.
In 1967 Roland Barth announced the death of author ,As it imposes limits on the text,But Sarris probably unaware of this or unattentive,continued his argument,favoring some directors and disliking others.He missed some of his subjects.We miss him,as well.
Andrew Sarris book ,The American Cinema remains one of the classics on the subject

LIZ LIVED WITH US IN MIDDLEBURG,VIRGINIA

ELIZABETH TAYLOR,Our lizzy(1932-2011))
we grew up with her in here
(in where!!)
LIZ
Lived with us
In the middle of Middleburg
for five horse farm years.
Fox were hidden in the Inn
Foxy and red
with their companions.
She was so sweet a neighbor
as a virgin virginian(of sort)
of short lived
like a barefoot cat
on a hot roof
or a giant of
whatever
and still glowing
and
gnawing!

WHO NEEDS DA KINGS

A POSTMODERN APPROACH TO
ACADEMY AWARDS
THROUGH THE CONTEMPORARY POETRY
Who needs da kings
of bahrain and jordan and syria and algeria and morocco and yemen and sudan
and moamr ghadafi
in their speeches?
(with no waste of capital letters or
 also those infamous double letters=tashdid
with and without hamza)
Who needs thugs,rogues,villains ,butchers and mercenaries?
...And now the honorable mention goes to:
Jeffrey Rush,
A terrible Trotsky in Frida
and a marvellous Marquis de Sade in Quill
By the way he is a gorgeous Pianist.
Nichole Kidman,Remember Dogville
and Hours?
Jeff Bridges
A sensational back to back winnwer
to beat the unbeatable Tom Hanx
And...
The Untouchable
a rival to all unrivaled:
Mila Kunis!
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
