Cities that Shaped History
👇  📺  👇
0:00  Episode 1 - A Golden Century (1585-1656)
Starting in 1585 as the small city of Amsterdam, gradually became the first world city in human history. Watch the story of Amsterdam's ascension and growing dominance on world trade, and the spectacular innovations that made it possible. Across the Channel, London wasn't the challenger that it will soon become - but the City is growing and finds its destiny: commerce and finance.
*
53:03 Episode 2 - Clashes (1650-1800)
As Amsterdam is at its peak and becomes the third largest city in Europe, London gradually takes the lead, and a third player enters world history: New Amsterdam, once a Dutch city, is eventually conquered by England and becomes New York.

*
1:45:03 Episode 3 - Metropolis (1800-1880)
Watch how New York, just two decades after the war of independence, makes its way through and becomes the great challenger of London. During the 19th century, both cities will experience industrial revolution, modernity and the enormous challenge of migrations and mass poverty.

*
2:37:26 Episode 4 - Global Cities (1880-2017)
London and New York turn to gigantism and open the way to the city of tomorrow. New York invents the skyscraper and the skyline, new concepts that will revolutionize urbanism and shape the cities around the world. London, the heart of the British Empire and the wealthiest city on earth, faces pollution, with its deadly consequences, and cannot overcome its huge poverty problem.

« Trois Villes à la Conquête du Monde »

Série Documentaire en Quatre Volets.
Réalisateur : Frédéric Wilner,
Producteurs : ARTE France, Iliade Productions 2018

« Comment, en quatre cents ans, la concurrence des trois métropoles pour dominer l'économie mondiale a suscité un nouveau modèle urbain. Frédéric Wilner retrace brillamment cette captivante aventure historique ».
En 1594, Amsterdam, capitale des Provinces-Unies, n'est qu'une prospère petite ville de moins de 30 000 habitants qui s'apprête à braver le monopole portugais sur le commerce des épices asiatiques. L'esprit d'entreprise de ses marchands et la liberté politique dont ils jouissent, alors exceptionnelle en Europe, vont leur permettre de créer en 1602, avec la Compagnie des Indes orientales, la première multinationale au monde. Quatre cents ans plus tard, ce geste fondateur, qui inaugure une compétition sans répit pour contrôler le commerce mondial, aura donné naissance à un nouveau modèle de villes.

Tour de force
Première bourse aux actions, naissance du bureau, invention de l'ascenseur, aménagement des transports, construction des gratte-ciel… : Amsterdam, sa grande rivale Londres, puis New York, à l'origine un simple comptoir de commerce hollandais fondé en 1624, vont se trouver au cœur d'innovations cruciales, suscitant des formes urbaines et architecturales novatrices. Pour mettre en lumière ces épopées urbaines à la fois concurrentes et connexes, Frédéric Wilner, comme il l'avait fait pour Paris et Berlin, mêle avec virtuosité les outils narratifs : commentaire précis et élégant, récits d'historiens au talent de conteurs, archives foisonnantes, magnifiques prises de vues réelles et usage inspiré de l'animation. À la fois sous forme de maquettes en mouvement, qui retracent en détail l'évolution des routes maritimes et du tissu urbain, ou de séquences empruntant judicieusement à la peinture d'époque pour faire revivre des personnages clés, ces passages animés contribuent à la fluidité et au dynamisme de ces quatre épisodes. Le réalisateur passe d'une ville à l'autre, de l'histoire collective aux destins individuels, traitant de l'urbanisme comme du design, de l'architecture et des techniques, des rapports de force sociaux et politiques, de l'économie et de l'art, sans jamais sacrifier ni la limpidité ni la richesse de son récit. Un tour de force.

Filmed at the Royal Geographical Society on 15th October 2014.
Making the case for Rembrandt this debate will be Simon Schama. For him Rembrandt is humanity unedited: rough, raw, violent, manic, vain, greedy and manipulative. Formal beauty was the least of his concerns, argues Schama, yet he attains beauty through his understanding of the human condition, including to be sure, his own.
But for novelist Tracy Chevalier it can all get a little exhausting. Rembrandt’s paintings, she believes – even those that are not his celebrated self-portraits – are all about himself. Championing Vermeer, she will claim that his charm lies in the very fact that he absents himself from his paintings. As a result they are less didactic and more magical than Rembrandt’s, giving the viewer room to breathe.

Wait.... really? A film of such seemingly high profile, made only 49 years ago? You don’t exactly come across the likes of Charade in the public domain every day. But I have an explanation, and it will surely delight those film fans who make sport of pointing out the incompetence of major studios. It seems that pre-1978 United States copyright law absolutely required you to include some sort of mark on your work indicating your intent to claim copyright at all - ©, for instance — and in Charade’s case, Universal Pictures seemed to have just sort of forgotten about it. The film thus went public domain as soon as it came out.  
Criterion’s provides a superior transfer and a wealth of cinephilic accoutrements besides, but if you want to dip into the picture right now, simply click play. An unknowable but capable Cary Grant and a Givenchy-clad Audrey Hepburn pursued through the early sixties’ City of Light for gold stolen in wartime - who, especially those on an office lunch break, could resist?

Screenplay by: Peter Stone 
Music by           Henry Mancini
Based on The Unsuspecting Wife, a short story by Peter Stone. While on holiday in the French Alps, Regina "Reggie" Lampert, an expatriate American working as a simultaneous interpreter, tells her friend Sylvie that she is divorcing her husband, Charles. She also meets Peter Joshua, a charming American. On her return to Paris, she finds her apartment stripped bare. A police inspector says Charles sold off their belongings, then was murdered while leaving Paris. Their money is also missing...

The Criterion Collection has seen fit to give it a scholarly, respectable DVD and Blu-Ray release
It has inspired four remakes, including one in Bengali and one in Hindi. It director also made On the Town, Singin’ in the Rain, Funny Face, and Bedazzled
“A terrifically entertaining comedy-thriller,” critic Dave Kehr calls it, “perfectly crafted” and “a marvelous use of Paris.” All these qualities and more strongly recommend the picture, at least to my mind, and if you’d like to see it for yourself, you have only to pull it up on Archive.org.
 
 COMMENTS
  1. One of my favorite films - I don't think there's one tiny substandard moment in it. Grant and Hepburn are perfect. The look on her face when he says, "It's lovely," is amazing. Not sure I've ever seen an actress do that as well.
  2. This is one heck of a movie-enjoyment, right here.
  3. You will be remembered as legends.
  4. Cary Grant, who turned 59 during filming, was sensitive about the 25-year age difference between Audrey Hepburn (33 at the time of filming) and himself, and was uncomfortable with their romantic interplay.
  5. Interestingly, Donen’s picture spans 3 genres: suspense thriller, romance and comedy.
  6. If you're trying to frighten me you're doing a first rate job!
  7. Is there a Mrs. Cruikshank?
  8. Is Anyone Really Who They Seem To Be?
  9. Romance and suspense ensue in Paris as a woman is pursued by several men who are in search of the fortune her murdered husband had stolen. Whom can she trust?
  10. Thanks for uploading this classic ⚘️⚘️
  11. No CGI, no explosions, no bizarre looking people, only stylish ladies and gentlemen speaking clearly in an entertaining story showing the beauty of Paris and coronated by Cary Grant's charisma and the gracefulness of Audrey Hepburn 👑 Love the classics ❤️
  12. This was one of the best films ever made. Grant, Hepburn, music by Mancini, and clothes by Givenchy it doesn't get better than that!!!!
  13. This movie has an all star cast and the music brings me back to the 60's.  What a thrill to see them on the screen.  Ms. Hepburn was beautiful, a wonderful actress and should have lived a longer life. I hope you enjoy the movie.
  14. Incredible film! It truly has everything; plot twists, romance, funny moments. Grant and Hepburn are such a fantastic duo! Honestly cannot recommend this enough!
  15. It a good old fashion movie no blood no guts  all over the screen super little movie. in fact I’m going to watch it again now
Charade = Absurd pretense intended to create a pleasant or respectable appearance. An act or event that is clearly false.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It was filmed on location in Paris and contains animated titles by Maurice Binder. Henry Mancini's score features the popular theme song "Charade".
In 2022, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
