Nana (1926 film)

Nana (1926) is Jean Renoir's second full-length silent film and is based on the novel by Émile Zola.

Plot

A government official, Count Muffat, falls under the spell of Nana, a young actress. She becomes his mistress, living in the sumptuous apartment which he provides for her. Instead of elevating herself to Muffat's level, however, Nana drags the poor man down to hers - in the end, both lives have been utterly destroyed.

Production

The film stars Renoir’s wife, Catherine Hessling, in an eccentric performance as the flawed heroine Nana.

Jean Renoir’s film is a fairly faithful adaptation of Émile Zola’s classic novel. The film’s extravagances include two magnificent set pieces – a horse race and an open air ball. The film never made a profit, and the commercial failure of the film robbed Renoir of the opportunity to make such an ambitious film again for several years.

Cast

Characters of Peter Pan

The works of J. M. Barrie about Peter Pan feature many memorable characters. The numerous adaptations and sequels to those stories feature many of the same characters, and introduce new ones. Most of these strive for continuity with Barrie's work, developing a fairly consistent cast of characters living in Neverland and the real-world settings of Barrie's stories.

Major publications and films

This article covers the characters appearing in the canonical works of Barrie, the official books and plays, the major motion pictures and television series based on them, and the major prequels/sequels (authorised and not):

Lies, Hautes-Pyrénées

Lies is a commune in the Hautes-Pyrénées department in south-western France.

Lies (McFly song)

"Lies" is the fifteenth single from British pop rock band, McFly, released on 15 September 2008. "Lies" did not feature on the promotional 10-track copy of the album Radio:Active which was given away in The Mail on Sunday in July 2008, however it features as one of the four additional tracks on the retail edition of the album, which was released on 22 September 2008. The lead vocals for the song are split between band members Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher, with vocal contributions from bassist Dougie Poynter.

Background

"Lyrically, Lies is definitely the darkest song we've ever written," says Tom Fletcher, who shares vocals on the track with Danny Jones. "It's about a real bitch of a girl who is out for herself and doesn't care who she uses to get what she wants. We did have a girl in mind when we wrote it, but really it's an amalgam of several girls we have met along the way. We hope she burns in hell at the end. A real good time tune then!" On 17 September 2008 the song was added to BBC Radio 1's A-List and BBC Radio 2's A-List.

Lies (Kumi Koda song)

"Lies" is an R&B song by Japanese singer Kumi Koda and is the fifth single in her 12 Singles Collection. The lyrics are written by her and the music is written and arranged by Yanagiman. The song is the ending theme of Asahi TV's show アドレな!ガレッジ (Adore na! GAREJJI). It was also used in a commercial for music.jp.

Like most of the singles in the 12 Single Collection, Lies is also limited to 50,000 copies. The single made its debut on Oricon at #7 and managed to take the #5 rank the following week. With the song taking the debut of #7, Koda Kumi became the first artist to have three singles in the top 10 on Oricon at the same time (you was at #9 and Shake It Up was at #6).

The love interest in the music video is played by actor Shogen Itokazu, who is best known for his role as young Gouken in Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist and his work in the 2015 Death Note TV series.

Cover

As with the other 11 singles in this collection, the cover of the single represents a stylized version of a traditional dress from a culture; this time it draws its inspiration from China.
