    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

  • Catherine Hessling - Nana
  • Werner Krauss - Count Muffat
  • Jean Angelo - Count de Vandeuvres
  • Raymond Guérin-Catelain - Georges Hugon
  • Nana (echos)

    Phthora nana (Medieval Greek φθορά νανὰ) is one of the ten modes of the Hagiopolitan Octoechos consisting of 8 diatonic echoi and two additional phthorai. It is used in different traditions of Orthodox chant until today (→ Neobyzantine Octoechos). The name "nana" is taken from the syllables (written in ligatures "ʅʅ") sung during the intonation which precedes a melody composed in this mode. The name "phthora" derived from the verb φθείρω and means "destroy" or "corrupt". It was usually referred to the diatonic genus of the eight mode system and as a sign used in Byzantine chant notation it indicated a "change to another genus" (μεταβολὴ κατὰ γένος), in the particular case of phthora nana a change to the enharmonic genus. Today the "nana" intonation has become the standard name of the third authentic mode which is called "echos tritos" (ἦχος τρίτος) in Greek and "third glas" (третий Гласъ) in Old Church Slavonic.

    The different functions of phthora nana

    In the theory and notation of Byzantine and Orthodox chant nana is the name of a special phthora which had been used in different ways according to its historic context:

    Nana (painting)

    Nana is a painting by French painter Édouard Manet. It was completed in 1877 and was refused at the Salon of Paris the same year. The work is now at the Kunsthalle Hamburg art museum in Germany.

    Description

    The painting shows a young and beautiful woman who stands before a mirror with two extinguished candles, her face turned to the spectator. Her dress is incomplete; she wears a white chemise, blue corset, silk stockings and high-heeled footwear. The interior suggests that it is a boudoir. Behind the woman is a sofa with two pillows. An elegantly dressed man, sitting on the sofa, can be partly seen on the right of the painting. On the left side, there is a chair, a table and a flowerpot.

    Interpretations

    Both the title and the numerous details suggest that the picture represents a high class prostitute and her client. Nana was a popular name in the second half of the 19th century for a woman who was a harlot and the French word "nana" is still used to describe a frivolous woman (or simply "a female" in argot).

    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):

  • The Little White Bird or Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (novel)—PPKG
  • Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (play)—PLAY
  • Peter and Wendy (novel)—P&W
  • Peter Pan (1924 film)—1924
  • Peter Pan (1953 film)—1953
  • Peter Pan and the Pirates—1990
  • Hook (film)—1991
  • Return to Never Land (film)—RNL
  • Peter Pan (2003 film)—2003
  • Peter Pan in Scarlet (novel)—PPS
  • Peter and the Starcatchers (novel)—P&SC
  • Ulmus 'Nana'

    The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Nana' is a very slow growing shrub that with time forms a small tree. It was believed for many years to be a form of Ulmus glabra and is known widely as the 'Dwarf Wych Elm'. However, the ancestry of 'Nana' has been disputed in more recent years, Melville considering the specimen once grown at Kew to have been a cultivar of Ulmus × hollandica.

    Description

    The tree rarely exceeds 5 m in height, but is often broader. The dark green leaves are smaller than the type, < 11 cm long by 8 cm broad. Green describes it as a very distinct variety not growing above 60 cm in 10 to 12 years. A specimen at Kew was described by Henry as 'a slow-growing hemispherical bush that has not increased appreciably in size for many years'.

    Pests and diseases

    The low height of the tree should ensure that it avoids colonisation by Scolytus bark beetles and thus remain free of Dutch elm disease.

    Cultivation

    The tree is still occasionally found in arboreta and gardens in the UK, and has been introduced to North America and continental Europe; it is not known in Australasia.
