...life-changing electives in the VES department, the Core, and even advice for any student’s future after graduation. The Harvard Crimson: This is your first film with a big studio like Warner Bros. How is the transition from independent funding to working with a major Hollywood studio?Darren Aronofsky: Well, I felt the same. One advantage of Hollywood everyone overlooks is that the people that help with the money for films have done this for a long time. And they know a lot about film, so it is great to have their input...
...eleven years since “Jungle” opened in Germany, Schmid has attracted stateside attention for “Requiem” (screening Saturday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m.), his 2005 film that debuted in America last month.

Sometimes her scenes were cut out of the film. She ended her career staring up at Wayne in Overland Stage Raiders and seemingly out of her element, her refeened voice clashing with the homey cliches...
...called home by Paramount. Talkies had come in, and the studio needed to loop and reshoot some scenes for sound. She refused. That snapped it. Paramount hired actress Margaret Livingstone to dub her dialogue, and Brooks had sassed herself onto a blacklist. She had often expressed her contempt for Hollywood, and soon the town would return that sour flavor. She was always a handful, making enemies of the showgirls she worked with and, I suspect, having little control over the booze she loved. Augusto Genina, who directed her in Prix de beaut?, wrote in his memoirs that she drank...
