Carlotta called on Alexandre Poncet to write a detailed analysis of the soundtrack of Brian de Palma’s Phantom of the Paradise, written by Paul Williams.

Ultra collector’s box set with a print run of 3000 copies. Contains a 200-page book.

Synopsis of the film:

Swan is a producer who has just finished “Paradise”, a huge auditorium in the image of his excess. When he hears the compositions of a young artist, unknown to the general public, he decides to have him locked up by the police and steal his scores… The young artist then returns to haunt the Paradise…

About Carlotta:

In December 2015, Carlotta Films launched a prestigious and high-end collection entitled “Ultra Collector Boxes”, which allows lovers of the 7th Art to rediscover cult films and their enriched archives in a restored and unreleased version.

PRESS

“It is then the musical aspect that is addressed with Alexandre Poncet in a subtle analysis of the songs of Paul Williams, an ‘intuitive composer’ with a ‘frankly paradoxical physique’ who ‘built his existence on a rereading of Faust’.” (DVDClassic.com)

About the Centre des Arts :

As a centre for creation, dissemination and artistic residencies, the Centre des arts is recognised as a stage of national interest “Art and Creation” by the Ministry of Culture. The creation of the Centre des arts in 2002 coincided with the emergence of digital technologies in the artistic sphere, but also the emergence of new practices and a gradual decompartmentalization between disciplinary fields. The ambition of the Arts Centre is not to exclude any form or language. Writing, whether scenic, visual, choreographic or museographic, is at the heart of the project. A transdisciplinary place, it offers a varied artistic programme including exhibitions of visual arts, dance, theatre, music, cinema… to which are associated a programme of artistic workshops for young audiences, guided tours.

Heroes collection : the mooks

2019 – 2023

In 2019, the Frenetic Arts team was contacted by the company Ynnis to ensure the editor-in-chief of a mook specialized in comic-books: Heroes collection is born. Dedicated to heroic figures from comic strips, the collection also looks back at the evolution of the genre in cinema.

While everyone watches superhero movies, it’s not always easy to find your way through the sprawling worlds woven by American publishers since the 1960s. The Heroes mooks, to the rhythm of theatrical releases, aims to resituate superheroes in their context, to expose their origins and to identify the main key stages and issues related to their universes.
