Against Progress
AvSlavoj Žižek

To define 'progress' is to lay claim to the future. Seminal thinker Slavoj Žižek turns essayist to interrogate the competing visions which form the horizons of human possibility and ask: Can things, which have never seemed worse, get better? What would a better world be? And how, when we are constantly besieged by doomers, degrowthers and disorienting relativisms can we make any headway at all in the face of unprecedented ecological, social and political crises?In thirteen iconoclastic essays, Slavoj Žižek disrupts the death-grip that neoliberalists, Trumpian populists, toxic self-improvement industries and accelerationists alike have established on the idea of progress. Anatomizing what is lost when opponents of the future are allowed to define it, Žižek ruthlessly exposes what different visions of progress exclude or sacrifice and the dynamics of desire, denial and disavowal at work in Hollywood blockbusters, Buddhist economics, decolonization movements and other engines of vision. In a whirlwind tour that takes in everything from gentrification to the theory of relativity, Lacan to Lenin, Putin to Mary Poppins and Marine Le Pen to the end of the world, these essays never stop asking hard questions of imagined futures.Nor does Žižek shrink from the hardest question of all: How do we free ourselves from the hypocritical, guilt-ridden dreaming in which we’re enmeshed, and begin to build a better world?

While some perished beneath wind and sea-spray others flourished, creating brilliant, unexpected beauty in the wilderness.Modern Nature is both a diary of the garden and a meditation by Jarman on his own life: his childhood, his time as a young gay man in the 1960s, his renowned career as an artist, writer and film-maker. It is at once a lament for a lost generation, an unabashed celebration of gay sexuality, and a devotion to all that is living.

Ingmar Bergman och Anita Haglöf möttes första gången i Dramatens reception och inledde en arbetsrelation präglad av destruktivitet. Ingmar Bergmans hem var i långa stunder ett inferno med obegripliga regler och ritualer, vare sig det gällde matlagning eller bäddning. Hans ensamhet och förtvivlan var gränslös. Smärtan var avgrundsdjup. I de stunderna var Bergman en obegriplig och obehaglig gåta för dem som kom i hans närhet. Anita Haglöfs bok om sina åtta år som hushållerska hos Ingmar Bergman ger en unik inblick i hur regissörens värld såg ut när scenljuset släckts och kameror och mikrofoner stängs av.
ANITA HAGLÖF (f. 1938) arbetade på Dramaten i två decennier innan hon blev anställd av Ingmar Bergman. Därefter jobbade hon hos Erland Josephson.
HÅKAN LAHGER (f. 1950) är journalist och författare, och har även varit verksam på SVT. Några av hans tidigare böcker är Helikopterpiloten - Berättelsen om ett rån och Dylan - En kärlekshistoria (Norstedts, 2013, 2014).
"ett utmärkt komplement till hagiografierna och en välgörande påminnelse om att Den Stora Konstnären kan vara en liten människa"Kvällsposten
"både kittlande och generös med praktikaliteter kring geniet" Fokus
"I boken ger hon genom sina dagboksanteckningar många inblickar i hur det var att ta hand om en lynnig och pedantisk arbetsgivare som skulle ha maten serverad på klockslaget. Och hur hon själv påverkades. Anita Haglöf skulle laga mat och städa men hamnade i ett långt utdraget trauma som slutade med att hon bröt ihop." Dagens Nyheter

A multifaceted portrait of the great Japanese directorFor years, Akira Kurosawa resisted writing about himself. “It would turn out to be nothing but talk about movies,” he said. “In other words, take myself, subtract movies, and the result is zero.” The memoir he finally started serializing in 1978, Something like an Autobiography, ended with Rashomon, the film that launched him on the world’s stage in 1950. Long Take, first published in Japan shortly after Kurosawa’s death in 1998, at last tells the story of the rest of his life. By turns intimate, provocative, and revealing, Long Take creates a dynamic portrait of Kurosawa from his own writings; his conversations with writer Inoue Hisashi and director Yamada Yōji; and essays by his daughter and colleague Kurosawa Kazuko, who details the collaborative history of the “Kurosawa crew.” It features a wealth of industry lore, cultural reference points, inside jokes with other filmmakers and writers, and backstories for his own productions, from the earliest to the last. Of particular interest to all cinephiles is an annotated list of Kurosawa’s 100 favorite films. A survey of Kurosawa’s prodigious career, this book situates the visionary in the media milieu of his youth, in the literature and performing arts of twentieth-century Japan and Hollywood, and among the myriad films he loved, admired, and referenced, including Japanese silent film and comedy as well as productions from India, Iran, and Soviet-era Russia. Now available to English readers for the first time, Long Take offers a lasting picture of the peerless filmmaker in his element.

Vilken jädra skräll! Ja, det är nog det minsta man kan säga om den något överraskande sensationen, idag närmast institutionen, Jönssonligan. Få filmkaraktärer har fått sådan kultstatus som Sickan, Vanheden, Harry och Doris. Och få svenska filmer har älskats, hyllats och sågats som de om kvartettens lysande planer och dråpliga kupper i societetens närhet.
När Linus Kuhlin slår till igen gör han det med nästintill en dåres precision. I Jönssonligan: kupper, krut och kamratskap lämnas ingenting åt slumpen. Från Jönssonligans slumpartade tillkomst, via de osannolika publiksuccéerna till pulshöjande anekdoter om livslång vänskap och konflikterna bakom kameran. Här dissekeras och exponeras allt som hör den fiktiva tjuvligan till, in i minsta detalj.
Boken innehåller intervjuer med såväl tidiga ligamedlemmar som dagens Sickan, Robert Gustafsson. Bland de många medverkande får vi även inifrånperspektiv från tungviktare som manusförfattaren Rolf Börjlind och regissören Mikael Ekman, Göstas bror som iscensatte de mest klassiska filmerna. Men framför allt rymmer denna biografi allt det som karaktäriserar Jönssonligan: humor, smartness, omsorg och förträfflighet. Samt, givetvis, en och en annan skräll.
Bonus: Ett lyyysande förord av Henrik Dorsin!
"Jag trodde att jag visste allt om Jönssonligan, men Linus har motbevisat mig. Jag slukade boken!"Edward af Sillén

And why do all stories function in an eerily similar way? John Yorke, creator of the BBC Writers' Academy, has brought a vast array of drama to British screens. Here he takes us on a journey to the heart of storytelling, revealing that there truly is a unifying shape to narrative forms - one that echoes the fairytale journey into the woods and, like any great art, comes from deep within. From ancient myths to big-budget blockbusters, he gets to the root of the stories that are all around us, every day.'Marvellous' Julian Fellowes'Terrifyingly clever ...

** Fasten your seatbelts, darlings, it's been one helluva ride. **Liza Minnelli is one of the most iconic and enduring figures in entertainment history. Now, in her first and only memoir, Liza tells her story in her own words - and what a story it is.Born into Hollywood royalty, Liza was the daughter of legendary director Vincente Minnelli and the incomparable Judy Garland - and yet her beloved Mama's brilliance was matched by deep personal battles, making her both an inspiration and, at times, a source of fear. In this deeply candid memoir, Liza pulls back the curtain on her extraordinary life, from her meteoric rise to Broadway and Hollywood stardom to the whirlwind of high-profile marriages and scandalous affairs, as well as the private heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages and lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder. She relives the liberated nights at Studio 54, the activism and friendships that shaped her - including the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Halston, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana - and the fearless way she defied conventions, embracing sexual fluidity long before it was part of the public conversation.But above all, as she turns 80 years old, Liza is ready to reclaim her truth, dispelling the tabloid myths and setting the record straight with stories she's never shared before. Raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and unapologetically honest, this is a defiant celebration of self-belief, survival and stardust - proving once and for all why Liza remains one of the most captivating performers the world has ever known.** Wilkommen to the world of Liza.**

Uppenbarelseboken 3 – 97 texter om film är tredje delen i prisbelönade Stig Björkmans exceptionella filmantologi. Ur Ellen Mattsons förord: «När man läser Stig Björkmans filmessäer i hans Uppenbarelseböcker är det just bredden som faller i ögonen. Givna verk som Citizen Kane och Det ljuva livet, Fåglarna och Blow-up, samsas med något kanske mindre självklara som Working Girl och Halloween. Hans entusiasm över vad man med rörliga bilders hjälp kan sätta igång i betraktarens öga, hjärna, drömmar och fantasi omfattar alla genrer, alla sorters uttryck. Det är aldrig fråga om att pliktskyldigt beta av stora namn och stora verk, i stället rör sig Björkman i varje volym – och nu är det alltså dags för den tredje – från filmens början fram till i dag och låter ljus falla på filmer som många sett, som nästan ingen sett, som man glömt bort att man sett, som man sett till leda men nu, genom texten, ser på med nya ögon. Att se, att se om, att berätta vad man sett – det är formeln för texterna i hans Uppenbarelseböcker.» Uppenbarelseboken – 203 texter om film, första delen i denna bokserie, gavs ut 2021 och beskrevs av Carl-Johan Malmberg i Svenska Dagbladet som «den mäktigaste essäsamlingen om enskilda filmer som skrivits i vårt land». Andra delen i serien, Uppenbarelseboken 2. 109 texter om film, utkom 2022.

Along the way, Coppola directed The Godfather, then the highest-grossing film of all-time, until Spielberg surpassed it with Jaws - whose record Lucas broke with Star Wars, which Spielberg surpassed again with E.T. By the early 1980s, they were the richest, best-known filmmakers in the world, each with an empire of their own. The Last Kings of Hollywood is an unprecedented chronicle of their rise, their dreams and demons, their triumphs and their failures - intimate, extraordinary, and supremely entertaining.

Structure is Character. Characters are what they do. Story events impact the characters and the characters impact events. Actions and reactions create revelation and insight, opening the door to a meaningful emotional experience for the audience. Story is what elevates a film, a novel, a play, or teleplay, transforming a good work into a great one. Movie-making in particular is a collaborative endeavour - requiring great skill and talent by the entire cast, crew and creative team - but the screenwriter is the only original artist on a film. Everyone else - the actors, directors, cameramen, production designers, editors, special effects wizards and so on - are interpretive artists, trying to bring alive the world, the events and the characters that the writer has invented and created. Robert McKee's STORY is a comprehensive and superbly organized exploration of all elements, from the basics to advanced concepts. It is a practical course, presenting new perspectives on the craft of storytelling, not just for the screenwriter but for the novelist, playwright, journalist and non-fiction writers of all types.

From cinema’s most distinguished and ‘The best writer on film in our time’ (Michael Ondaatje) comes a masterful assessment of the whole sweep of movie history‘The movies traded on the liberation of secret desires—drive that car as fast as you can; turn your humble abode into a palace; conquer all the mean spirits in the world; be as free and winsome as the Tramp yet as rich as Charlie … Every lowlife can be a Corleone.’Every flicker of light has its shadow. In this masterful reassessment of the whole arc of movie history, David Thomson, film’s wisest and most penetrating critic, shows us how cinema has entranced and transported us, but also profoundly changed us.From the earliest days of the first picture shows to the screens of today, Thomson glories in the great movies. Sharp, arresting readings of films from Metropolis to Rear Window, The Godfather to Anora can be found in these pages. Yet there is unease, too, at how cinema suckered us into a fantasy neverland that only looks like life. Hungry for spectacle and happy endings, submitting to voyeurism and villainy, we have let films change the way we experience reality; a habit of passivity that may have even betrayed our culture and our politics.As Thomson says, ‘This is our history, and our show.’ The result of a lifetime of immersion and reflection, this book is a reckoning and a testament from a writer who sees like no other.

It’s got drugs, sex, punch-ups, webbed toes and Bill Murray being pushed into a swimming pool by Hunter S Thompson, while tied to a lawn chair. It’s akin to Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, following the key players through their highs and lows, and their often turbulent relationships with each other. Nick de Semlyen has already interviewed pretty much all the big names for Empire, as well as directors such as Walter Hill, John Landis and Carl Reiner, and is sitting on lots of unseen material. Taking you on a trip through the tumultuous ’80s, Wild And Crazy Guys explores the friendships, feuds, triumphs and disasters experienced by these iconic funnymen. Based on candid interviews from the stars themselves, as well as those who entered their orbit, it reveals the hidden history behind the most fertile period ever for screen comedy.

Fasten your seatbelts, darlings, it's been one helluva ride.'If there's a more enthralling celebrity memoir out this year, I'll eat my bowler hat.' The Times'[A] high-kicking hoofer of a book.' Telegraph'A heady brew of gossip, glamour and defiance.' Guardian'Brilliant and bonkers' The MirrorLiza Minnelli is one of the most iconic and enduring figures in entertainment history. Now, in her first and only memoir, Liza tells her story in her own words - and what a story it is.Born into Hollywood royalty, Liza was the daughter of legendary director Vincente Minnelli and the incomparable Judy Garland - and yet her beloved 'Mama's' brilliance was matched by searing personal battles, making her mother both an inspiration and, at times, a source of fear. In this deeply candid memoir, Liza pulls back the curtain on her extraordinary life, from her meteoric rise to Broadway and Hollywood stardom to the whirlwind of high-profile marriages and relationships, as well as the private heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages and lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder. As told her her most beloved confidant, music icon Michael Feinstein, Liza relives the liberated nights at Studio 54, the activism and friendships that shaped her - including the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Halston, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana - and the fearless way she defied conventions, embracing sexual fluidity and battling bigotry at a time of limited public understanding.But above all, as she turns 80 years old, Liza is reclaiming her truth, dispelling tabloid myths and setting the record straight with stories she's never shared before. Raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and unapologetically honest, this is a defiant celebration of self-belief, survival and humanity - proving once and for all why Liza remains one of the most captivating performers the world has ever known.Wilkommen to the world of Liza.
