Abstract

This article examines The Kiss, émigré director Jacques Feyder's first Hollywood film, with two goals in mind. First, it considers the production and reception of the film, drawing on contemporary periodicals to illustrate Feyder's contribution to the film; second, drawing on Gilles Deleuze's conceptualisation of mirror images in cinema, it argues that The Kiss constitutes an important turning-point within Feyder's output as well as a key illustration of his authorial signature, looking towards the complex portrayals of women which feature in his most famous French films of the 1930s. Key to this analysis is how Feyder mobilizes mirrors to confront spectators with their own collusion in the construction of Greta Garbo's star persona in her films and portraits, and to open broader debates regarding the intersection between authorship and star personae.

Le(s)Visage(s)de Garbo:雅克·费德的《吻》(1929)中作家与明星的谈判话语
这篇文章考察了移民导演雅克·费德的第一部好莱坞电影《吻》,其中有两个目标。首先,它考虑了电影的制作和接受,借鉴当代期刊来说明费德对电影的贡献;其次,根据吉勒·德勒兹对电影镜像的概念化,它认为《吻》是费德作品的一个重要转折点,也是他作家签名的一个关键例证,着眼于他20世纪30年代最著名的法国电影中对女性的复杂刻画。这一分析的关键是,费德如何调动镜子来对抗观众,让他们在格雷塔·嘉宝的电影和肖像中构建明星形象时相互勾结,并就作者身份和明星形象之间的交叉点展开更广泛的辩论。
