Orson Welles: L'orgoglio degli Amberson
DVD Video I have it ★★★★★
Cut, mistreated, distorted, a feel-good ending reshaped by a different director, this second feature film by O. Welles remains an incredibly great film, colossal from a purely technical standpoint, and still excellent overall. However, the doubt lingers about what the film would have been without those barbaric cuts it endured.
Stunning.

    >me at the end of the movie: "Okay, what a shitty ending for God's sake, but those forty minutes will be kept in the RKO archives and some good soul will take the trouble to recut the director's cut.
    >me after opening Wiki and discovering that the footage is lost: dfhhhssfhjsafg FUCKING SHIT WHY DON'T YOU ALL BURN IN HELL!

    What remains is the sublimation of the depth of field, used here without any overlay tricks present in the shots of Citizen. What a thing.

    Yeah, even as it came to us today, it remains a Giant film. But what a couple of idiots, my goodness.

    @[hjhhjij] I was thinking... Maybe it's a connection without any logic, but why did no one complain during the production on Sunset Boulevard, given its strong self-critique of the star system? I mean, it's better for Wilder and for us, of course, but I've been thinking about it since yesterday...
Orson Welles: Quarto Potere
DVD Video I have it ★★★★★
Among the top 5, or perhaps even the top 3 films of all time. A masterpiece of masterpieces by Orson Welles, one of the most important films in the history of cinema. I'm speechless.

    I’ll say it, should I say it? Okay, I’ll say it.. Of Orson, I prefer The Trial.. Not always, but if you ask me today, I would answer like this..

    But in the end, was he acquitted? Orson Welles, I mean.

Look for it if you can, within Palepoli, the reality of an age without us, without us.
One of the 5 most beautiful albums in Italian music.

    What do you think are the 5 most beautiful albums in Italian music? I'm curious :)

    Let's say that right now I wouldn't place this in the top 5 anymore, while still acknowledging that it’s an incredible album and no one will take those 5 balls away from it even in 100 years. The top 5? Probably all five spots would be entirely filled by De André, Area, and Giorgio Gaber.
