[Renée Vivien. La Saffo della Belle Époque][Teresa Campi]

Teresa Campi, la prima studiosa italiana di Renée Vivien, restituisce finalmente un ritratto sincero di questa straordinaria donna presentandola non pi�� come una figura misteriosa e “depravata” ma anzi come un personaggio appassionato

Nella Parigi di inizio Novecento, venticinque secoli dopo Saffo, in una città mondana e libertina, tra i pizzi delle gonne al Moulin Rouge e i cocktail “al vetriolo” serviti nei salotti, una poetessa sfidò il suo tempo, scrivendo versi appassionati sull’amore e sulle donne. Il suo nome era Pauline Mary Tarn (1877-1909), meglio conosciuta come Renée Vivien, una “figlia di Baudelaire”, come fu…

Renée Vivien

Renée Vivien (born Pauline Mary Tarn; 11 June 1877 – 18 November 1909), was a British poet who wrote in French, in the style of the Symbolistes and the Parnassiens. A high-profile lesbian in the Paris of the Belle Époque, she was as notable for her lifestyle as for her work, which has received more attention following a recent revival of interest in Sapphic verse. Many of her poems are autobiographical, reflecting a life of extreme hedonism, leading to early death. She was the subject of a pen-portrait by her friend Colette.

Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971)

Cast: Malcolm McDowell, Warren Clarke, James Marcus, Michael Tarn, Patrick Magee, Adrienne Corri, Aubrey Morris, Miriam Karlin, Anthony Sharp. Screenplay: Stanley Kubrick, based on a novel by Anthony Burgess. Cinematography: John Alcott. Production design: John Barry. Costume design: Milena Canonero. Film editing: Bill Butler.

A Clockwork Orange  was panned by Pauline Kael, Andrew Sarris, and Roger Ebert, but it remains one of Stanley Kubrick's most popular films, with an 8.3 rating on IMDb.  It's a tribute to Kubrick that the movie can elicit such widely divergent responses. I can see what Kael, Sarris, and Ebert are complaining about while at the same time admitting that the film is undeniably entertaining in a "horrorshow" way: that being both novelist Anthony Burgess's Nadsat coinage from the Russian word "khorosho," meaning "good," and the English literal sense. For it is a kind of horror movie, with Alex as the monster spawned by modern society -- implacable, controlled only by the most drastic and abhorrent means, in this case a kind of behavioral conditioning. The aversion therapy to which Alex is subjected reminds me of the attempts to convert gay people to heterosexuality. Which is not to say that Kubrick's film isn't exploitative in the extreme, relying on images of violence and sexuality that almost justify Kael's suggestion that Kubrick is a kind of failed pornographer. It is not the kind of movie that should go without what today are called "trigger warnings." What's good about A Clockwork Orange is certainly Malcolm McDowell's performance as Alex, one of the few really complex human beings in Kubrick's caricature-infested films. Some of his most memorable scenes in the movie were partly improvised, as when he sings "Singin' in the Rain" during his attack on the Alexanders, and when he opens his mouth like a bird when the minister of the interior is feeding him. Kubrick received three Oscar nominations, as producer, director, and screenwriter, and film editor Bill Butler was also nominated, but the movie won none, losing in all four categories to The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971). It deserved nominations not only for McDowell, but also for John Alcott's cinematography and John Barry's production design.

"July 31th 1901

Dearest, I have dreamt again of my Violet and I saw her, spoke to her, know that she was living, and I afterwards blessed the kindly sleep that brought her back to me, just as I saw her last.

[...]

One thing consoles me for having lived a foolish, useless, and wicked life, and that is, that no one will mourn for me as I have mourned for Violet, because I don't deserve it. —

August 10th 1901

[...] The thoughts of Violet never leave me and never will. Her portrait is always near me. I so constantly think of her, and every time the tears will come, though I know she is happy - safe - at peace."

"Ma très chère, j'ai à nouveau rêvé de ma Violette et je l'ai vue, je lui ai parlé, je sais qu'elle était vivante, et j'ai ensuite remercié ce doux sommeil de me l'avoir ramenée à moi, comme je l'avais vue la dernière fois.

[...]

Une chose me console d'avoir vécu une vie stupide, inutile et empoisonnée et c'est que personne ne va me pleurer comme j'ai pleuré Violette, parce que je ne le mérite pas. –

[...] Les pensées de Violette jamais ne me quittent et jamais ne me quitteront. Son portrait est toujours près de moi. Je pense constamment à elle, et tout le temps les larmes me viennent, même si je sais qu'elle est heureuse ‐ en sécurité - en paix.

“‘... for dying young is not a natural end. There is such a revolt of all the flesh that that revolt must be prolonged into the final world. One must not sleep in peace within the tomb when one dies young.’”

- Renée Vivien (exerpt from the short story “The Sin Against the Roses” from Faustina and Other Stories, translated by Brian Stableford)

Figurez-vous que j'ai une idée que ma cervelle est faite en verre et qu'elle va se briser quelquefois avec ce petit fracas particulier que j'aime à entendre quand je m'amuse à briser le cristal fragile !... A présent j'entends distinctement quelque chose qui se brise dans ma tête.

Lettre de Pauline Tarn (Renée Vivien) à Amédée Moullé

[lesoulierdesatin]

Ce furent d'irréelles fiançailles, délicates à l'égal des roses blanches que Béla apportait chaque jour. Ce furent des aveux plus fervents que des poèmes, et des frissons d'âme sur les lèvres. Au profond des silences, passait le rêve nuptial. – Le Prince charmant, Renée Vivien
