IDA LUPINO, DIRECTOR: HER ART AND RESILIENCE IN TIMES OF TRANSITION

Book ID/图书代码： 11729017C00013

English Summary/英文概要： Dominated by men and bound by the restrictive Hays Code, postwar Hollywood offered little support for a female director who sought to make unique films on controversial subjects. But Ida Lupino bucked the system, writing and directing a string of movies that exposed the dark underside of American society, on topics such as rape, polio, unwed motherhood, bigamy, exploitative sports, and serial murder. The first in-depth study devoted to Lupino’s directorial work, this book makes a strong case for her as a trailblazing feminist auteur, a filmmaker with a clear signature style and an abiding interest in depicting the plights of postwar American women. Ida Lupino, Director not only examines her work as a cinematic auteur, but also offers a serious consideration of her diverse and long-ranging career, getting her start in Hollywood as an actress in her teens and twenties, directing her first films in her early thirties, and later working as an acclaimed director of television westerns, sitcoms, and suspense dramas. It also demonstrates how Lupino fused generic elements of film noir and the social problem film to create a distinctive directorial style that was both highly expressionistic and grittily realistic. Ida Lupino, Director thus shines a long-awaited spotlight on one of our greatest filmmakers.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 战后的好莱坞当时以男性为主导又受限于海斯法则的约束，大环境完全不看好这位想要拍摄有争议题材的独特电影的女导演。但是，Ida Lupino违抗了这个制度，创作导演了一系列揭露美国社会阴暗面的电影，主题包括性侵、小儿麻痹症、未婚母亲、重婚、剥削性体育运动和连环谋杀。这本书是对Lupino导演工作的第一次深入研究，有力地证明了她是一位有开拓意义的女权主义导演，一个有着清晰的标志性风格和对战后美国妇女困境有着浓厚兴趣的电影人。《导演》这本书中不仅审视了Ida Lupino作为电影导演的身份，还充分结合了她多样化的长期职业道路。她在十几岁到二十岁的时候便开始了好莱坞的女演员生涯，在三十岁出头的时候导演了她的第一部电影，后来在西部电视剧，情景剧和悬疑剧中担任荣誉导演。它还展示了Lupino如何融合了黑色电影和社会问题的主要元素，创造出一种独特的导演风格。既具有高度表现主义，又有强烈的现实感。导演Ida Lupino已在聚光灯的对准下成为了我们期待已久的最伟大的电影制片人之一。（YYW）
