Into the cinema. Yuppie nights, innocent noirball and new classicism
Streszczenie
In his article "Into the cinema? Yuppie nights, innocent noirball and new classicism" Mariusz Koryciński describes several movements in 1980s cinema that are similar, yet differently named by various scholars. He emphasizes that many productions which are included into those movements – like, for instance, "Into the Night" by John Landis and "After Hours" by Martin Scorsese – are similar not only in terms of their main character, a yuppie, but also in terms of their references to the history of cinema and a plot which takes place at night. In this context, the author refers to two Polish works: "Ćma" ("The Moth") by Tomasz Zygadło and "Nocna korekta" ("Nighttime Prooffing"), an unfilmed novel by Jolanta Słobodzian and Marek Kreutz. Koryciński also wonders whether the movies that he describes reflect – as some commentators claim – the crises of the period in which they were made. For this purpose, he refers to productions from other decades of the 20th century ("La Strada", "Ewa chce spać", "La Notte", "Eyes Wide Shut"), comparing their reception with the reception of the movements from the 1980s which he analyzes. Next, by referring to the crime novel "Drugie Dno" ("Hidden Meaning") by Dominik Damian, he combines the basic motifs, proposing a new interpretation of cinema at that time in terms of the notion of film classicism.
