Marie Antoinette
导演: David Grubin 演员: Antoine de Baecque / Philippe Altier
其它标题: Marie Antoinette / 绝代艳后
PBS制作。玛丽·安托瓦内特(Marie Antoinette 1755~1793),路易十六妻子,是神圣罗马帝国皇帝弗兰茨一世与皇后兼奥地利大公、波西米亚及匈牙利女王玛丽亚·特蕾西亚的第十五个孩子。1755年出生在维也纳。14岁时成为路易·奥古斯特·德·波旁(日后的路易十六)的王太子妃。1774年路易十六即位。玛丽母仪法兰西。但很可惜,她本人并没有作为一名王后所应该具备的责任感和使命感。从进入法国宫廷之后,玛丽在政治上毫无建树。每天只是热衷于舞会、时装、玩乐和庆宴,修饰花园,奢侈无度。在法国大革命开始后,她身上却意外地体现出一位王后的骄傲与尊严,表现得比路易十六更有主见,更为顽固。1792年,法国对奥地利宣战,她继续勾结奥地利,并把作战计划提供给外国干涉军,企图借外部势力镇压革命。叛国罪行激怒了法国人民,导致1792年8月10日巴黎人民起义。随后,她和国王一起被囚禁。次年10月16日玛丽被执行死刑。可以说,直到最后死亡,她也未真正低过头,始终维持着王后的尊严。享年38岁。死后尸体一度被扔在万人坑埋葬,直到22年之后,普罗旺斯伯爵复辟成为路易十八,才将她的白骨重新挖出,并妥善安葬。

Napoleon
导演: David Grubin 演员: David McCullough
其它标题: Napoleon / Empires-Napoleon: Soldier Emperor Lover Statesman
Born in 1769 to a poor but aristocratic Corsican patriot family, 6 year old Napolon Bonaparte is enrolled in a French academy, where his military career begins. His capabilities are amply demonstrated with a series of dazzling victories in Revolutionary France's Italian campaign. He becomes obsessed with and marries Josephine, a widow, and begins a meteoric rise to power. He gradually compromises his egalitarian ideals and crowns himself emperor in 1804. After he establishes himself as master of Europe with victories in battles like Austerlitz and diplomatic alliances, he embarks on a series of decisions that mark his decline and fall: an ill-advised occupation of Spain, his divorce of Josephine and marriage into the Hapsburg family, and his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812. After a failed attempt to return to power culminating in final defeat at Waterloo in 1815, he spends his remaining years defining his legacy with his memoirs.

Bill T. Jones: Still/Here (1997) [电影] TMDB IMDb
Bill T. Jones: Still/Here
导演: David Grubin 演员: Bill T. Jones / Lawrence Goldhuber
Bill Moyers and filmmaker David Grubin give viewers a rare glimpse into dancer/choreographer Bill T. Jones’s highly acclaimed dance Still/Here. At workshops around the country, people facing life-threatening illnesses are asked to remember the highs and lows of their lives, and even imagine their own deaths. They then transform their feelings into expressive movement, which Jones incorporates into the dance performed later in the program. For this documentary, Jones demonstrates the movements of his own life story: his first encounter with white people, confusion over his sexuality, his partner Arnie Zane’s untimely death from AIDS, and Jones’s own HIV-positive status.
