Nora Ephron at the Movies

Autor: Ilana Kaplan

Número de Páginas: 526

The first illustrated monograph on writer, journalist, and director Nora Ephron, the visionary behind When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail Nora Ephron at the Movies offers an unfiltered look at Ephron as a champion of the rom-com and as a feminist Hollywood trailblazer. It explores her life and work by pairing detailed criticism with exclusive interviews with Ephron’s key collaborators, including Andie MacDowell and Jenn Kaytin Robinson, to add color and nuance to her life and legacy. With her singular voice, Nora Ephron flourished as a dominant force in the entertainment industry, focusing on the idiosyncrasies of romance that were universally relatable. The women in her stories paralleled reality—the veil was lifted, the glossy sheen removed. Her protagonists share an unwavering sense of humor about life’s mishaps, and they never take themselves too seriously—like Julie trying to master the art of cooking lobsters in Julie & Julia, Sally’s theatrical fake orgasm in Katz’s deli in When Harry Met Sally, or Rachel perfecting a key lime pie only to throw it in her cheating husband’s face in Heartburn. Through her keenly self-aware humor and ...

Una nueva recopilación de artículos inéditos en español de la inimitable autora de "No me gusta mi cuello" y "No me acuerdo de nada". Leer un libro de Nora Ephron es como sentarse a cenar con una buena amiga. En sus páginas encuentras un menú de ingenio inconfundible repleto de divertidísimos análisis sobre casi todo, desde su aversión a los bolsos y a las arrugas hasta jugosas indiscreciones sobre su vida amorosa. En esta antología de textos inéditos en español, Ephron nos enseña, entre otras cosas, a ser los anfitriones perfectos sin morir en el intento, nos ilustra en el arte de preparar un buen sándwich, nos relata su cambio de imagen radical y se burla de las revistas femeninas, pero también medita sobre los gajes de su oficio: «Trabajar de periodista es exactamente lo mismo que ser la fea de la orgía. Siempre me da la sensación de estar en un evento increíble, donde todos se lo están pasando en grande (...) mientras yo me quedo al margen, tomando notas de todo».

No me gusta mi cuello

Autor: Nora Ephron

Número de Páginas: 106

Ephron en estado puro. El libro más emblemático de la autora. «Nunca te cases con un hombre del que no te gustaría divorciarte.» «Cualquier cosa que no te guste de tu cuerpo a los treinta y cinco años te producirá nostalgia a los cuarenta y cinco.» «Si un zapato no te vale en la zapatería, nunca te valdrá.» «Cuando los hijos llegan a la adolescencia, es importante tener un perro, para que alguien en casa se alegre de verte.» En esta obra rebosante de prácticos consejos y desenfadada sabiduría, la famosa escritora y cineasta Nora Ephron comparte sus recuerdos y se sincera sobre los temas más variopintos con su habitual sentido del humor y su inconfundible voz. Ephron nos habla de su experiencia como madre y del síndrome del nido vacío; del precio de vivir en su adorada Nueva York; de su paso por la Casa Blanca como becaria; del amor tras un divorcio; de cuánto odia su bolso; de envejecer, del tinte del pelo, la cinta de correr, las cremas que prometen milagros pero que no logran hacer desaparecer las arrugas de su cuello... Publicado en 2006 y convertido ya en un clásico contemporáneo, No me gusta mi cuello es el libro más querido y emblemático de una...

No me acuerdo de nada

Autor: Nora Ephron

Número de Páginas: 103

Una divertida y sabia reflexión vital de una de las autoras más queridas e influyentes de Estados Unidos. Nora Ephron es un género literario en sí misma. Famosa por su mordaz ingenio, por sus acertados y cómicos análisis de la experiencia femenina y por su capacidad para detectar los absurdos de la vida moderna, es una de las escritoras y guionistas neoyorquinas más singulares e influyentes de las últimas décadas. En este libro, el último que publicó, Ephron hace un divertido repaso de su pasado, de sus mayores fracasos y alegrías, y se lamenta con humor de las vicisitudes cotidianas. Nos habla –entre otras cosas– de lo que recordamos, olvidamos o inventamos al llegar a cierta edad; de su historia de amor con el periodismo; de cómo sobrevivir a un divorcio; de su preocupante relación con la bandeja de entrada de su correo electrónico; de intimidades, pequeñas manías, recetas favoritas, fiestas desastrosas; y de muchas cuestiones que todas las mujeres se preguntan al llegar a una cierta edad pero que raramente se atreven a confesar. La autora sintetiza lo mejor de su literatura –sinceridad, humor y una sencillez deslumbrante– en No me acuerdo de nada, sin...

J'en fais toute une histoire

Autor: Nora Ephron

« CE QUE JE REGRETTE DE NE PAS AVOIR SU : Bloquez tout le monde sur votre messagerie instantanée. Les quatre dernières années de psychanalyse sont une dépense inutile. L’avion ne va pas s’écraser. Tout ce qui vous déplaît dans votre corps à l’âge de trente-cinq ans, vous le regretterez à l’âge de quarante-cinq. Si la chaussure ne vous va pas dans le magasin de chaussures, elle ne vous ira jamais. Quand vos enfants sont adolescents, il est important d’avoir un chien pour que quelqu’un dans la maison soit content de vous voir. » J’en fais toute une histoire peut se lire comme un manuel de survie dans le monde moderne ou un one-woman show sur la «condition féminine». Tout y passe : l’amour, le divorce, l’argent, les enfants, la chirurgie esthétique... Nora Ephron s’empare de chaque sujet avec ironie, sans jamais oublier d’être tendre. Nora Ephron (1941-2012) a régné sur le cinéma américain des années 1980 à 2000. Scénariste, notamment, de Quand Harry rencontre Sally, réalisatrice de Nuits blanches à Seattle ou Vous avez un message, elle était aussi écrivaine. Toutes les générations se régalent encore de son talent, de son sens de...

From Hollywood with Love

Autor: Scott Meslow

Número de Páginas: 379

An in-depth celebration of the romantic comedy’s modern golden era and its role in our culture, tracking the genre from its heyday in the ’80s and the ’90s, its unfortunate decline in the 2000s, and its explosive reemergence in the age of streaming, featuring exclusive interviews with the directors, writers, and stars of the iconic films that defined the genre. No Hollywood genre has been more misunderstood—or more unfairly under-appreciated—than the romantic comedy. Funny, charming, and reliably crowd-pleasing, rom-coms were the essential backbone of the Hollywood landscape, launching the careers of many of Hollywood’s most talented actors and filmmakers, such as Julia Roberts and Matthew McConaughey, and providing many of the yet limited creative opportunities women had in Hollywood. But despite—or perhaps because of—all that, the rom-com has routinely been overlooked by the Academy Awards or snobbishly dismissed by critics. In From Hollywood with Love, culture writer and GQ contributor Scott Meslow seeks to right this wrong, celebrating and analyzing rom-coms with the appreciative, insightful critical lens they’ve always deserved. Beginning with the golden era ...

The Women who Write the Movies

Autor: Marsha Mccreadie

Número de Páginas: 264

In Hollywood's youth, women pioneered in screenwriting for silent films, often networking between friends: Jeannie Macpherson, Frances Marion, and Adela Rogers St. Johns, among many others, were billed alongside the top directors. With the advent of talkies and into the 1930s and 1940s, famous writers Dorothy Parker and Anita Loos wrote scripts for box-office hits such as A Star Is Born and Jean Harlow's Red-Headed Woman. And Catherine Turney wrote the searing Mildred Pierce - uncredited until now. After World War II, women writers began to drop out of sight, with notable exceptions such as Ida Lupino, Betty Comden, and Dorothy Kingsley. And in the 1960s and early 1970s innovative scripts were written by Elaine May and Penelope Gilliatt, followed by screenplays from contemporary writers like Nora Ephron and Leslie Dixon. McCreadie's extensive research details the fascinating careers of all the important contributors so far, from Elinor Glyn, herself a noted actress, who wrote It, starring Clara Bow, which redefined the title word and made the "It Girl" an international sensation; up to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, whose beautifully detailed and literate films win accolades everywhere; to ...
