On trouvera une analyse de l'esthétique des films de Wes Craven dans Le Cinéma d'horreur et ses figures (Paris, PUF, 2005), qui montre comment les films de ce réalisateur sont ordonnés autour d'une réflexion sur « les puissances de l'image ».

Wes Craven

Wesley Earl “Wes” Craven (born August 2, 1939) is an American film director and writer, perhaps best known as the director of many horror films, including the famed A Nightmare on Elm Street and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare

Die Hard

Based on 50 reviews collected by the film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of critics gave Die Hard a positive review, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The film’s title and its story of a lone hero battling a multitude of single-minded opponents in an isolated setting also became a common descriptor for later action movies: “Die Hard on a _____” became a simple and easy way to define the plot of many action films that came in its wake. For example, 1994’s Speed was called “Die Hard on a bus”, 1996’s The Rock was dubbed “Die Hard on an island”.

Moneyball

Moneyball is a biographical comedy-drama film directed by Bennett Miller, starring Brad Pitt, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, Jonah Hill, Chris Pratt and Casey Bond. It is based on the true story of Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland Athletics, and his attempt to create a competitive team despite Oakland’s unfavorable financial situation.

After

In After, the romance is also tinged with mystery, as for most of the story, the audience is kept in the dark about Hardin’s secret and the brewing threat to his relationship with Tessa.

Get A Job

Get A Job starring Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, and Bryan Cranston is a multi-generational comedy about four recent college graduates who discover that their lofty expectations and the realities of adulthood are two very different things.

The Lovers and the Despot

In 1978, Choi and Shin, whom she had recently divorced due to Shin having committed adultery, were kidnapped in Hong Kong to North Korea by order of Kim Jong-il. Kim’s plan was to have Shin work as his propagandist and for Choi to be the star.
