In his best-selling book, Save the Cat!(r) Goes to the Movies, Blake Snyder provided 50 beat sheets to 50 films, mostly studio-made. Now his student, Salva Rubio, applies Blake s principles to 50 celebrated non-studio films (again with 5 beat sheets for each of Blake s 10 genres). From international sensations like The Blair Witch Project topromising debuts like Pi, from small films that acquired cult status like Texas Chain Saw Massacre to Euro-blockbusters like The Full Monty, from unexpected gems like Before Sunrise to textbook classics such as The 400 Blows, from Dogville to Drive and Boogie Nights to Cinema Paradiso, here are 50 movies that fit both the independent label and Blake Snyder s 15 beats. You ll find beat sheets for works from Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, David Lynch, Roman Polanski, Danny Boyle, David Mamet, Spike Jonze, Charlie Kaufman, Sofia Coppola, Stephen Frears, David Hare, Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, and the Coen Brothers, among other renowned writers and directors. You ll see how hitting the beats creates a story that resonates for audiences the world over. Why is this important? Because it gives both writers and moviegoers a language to analyze film and understand how filmmakers can effectively reach audiences. And especially if you are a writer, this book reveals how screenwriters who came before you tackled the same challenges you are facing with the film you want to write or the one you are currently working on."

El fotógrafo de Mauthausen

Du Salon des Refusés au mouvement des Impressionnistes, de jeune peintre désargenté à grand bourgeois tutoyant les huiles, du mari à l'amant... la vie de Claude Monet fut pour le moins plurielle. Chef de file, à son coeur défendant, d'un mouvement qui bouleversa la vision de la peinture au XIXe siècle, l'homme n'est finalement resté fidèle qu'à une seule quête : celle de la lumière absolue, qui viendrait éclairer toute son oeuvre de sa perfection. Salva Rubio et Ricard Efa nous racontent aujourd'hui les aléas de cette recherche, dont Monet paya le prix autant qu'il l'encaissa, à travers un somptueux roman graphique.

Monet : nomade de la lumière

This is a dramatic retelling of true events in the life of Francisco Boix, a Spanish press photographer and communist who fled to France at the beginning of World War II. But there, he found himself handed over by the French to the Nazis, who sent him to the notorious Mauthausen concentration camp, where he spent the war among thousands of other Spaniards and other prisoners. More than half of them would lose their lives there. Through an odd turn of events, Boix finds himself the confidant of an SS officer who is documenting prisoner deaths at the camp. Boix realizes that he has a chance to prove Nazi war crimes by stealing the negatives of these perverse photos—but only at the risk of his own life, that of a young Spanish boy he has sworn to protect, and, indeed, that of every prisoner in the camp.

Déportée avec sa famille dans le camp de concentration le plus meurtrier de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : Auschwitz, elle rencontre Fredy Hirsch, éducateur juif qui lui propose de devenir la "Bibliothécaire d'Auschwitz" . Risquant sa vie pour que petits et grands puissent s'évader, Dita accepte de cacher et protéger les huit précieux volumes que les prisonniers ont réussi à dissimuler aux gardiens du camp. Mais elle doit faire preuve d'une extrême prudence car le docteur Mengele, célèbre pour ses atrocités, la surveille de très près. (payot.ch)
