Werner Herzog: L'Alba Della Libertà
DVD Video I have it ★★★
4 jan 16
Herzog's muscular cinema in a Hollywood form that remains (or tries to be) auteur-driven. A film that is successful only halfway, lacking the ability to evoke strong emotions but still lingers beneath the surface. (6.5)
Woody Allen: Manhattan
DVD Video I have it ★★★★★
4 jan 16
Grandpa Woody here sings his love for New York, for the cinema of the past (there are several references to Fellini, Bergman, and Kubrick) and directs and stars in a work that is irreverent but politically "incorrect," where Allen's classic themes blend with a poetic quality of images that is excellently rendered in black and white. One of Allen's best. (8.5)
Woody Allen: Blue Jasmine
DVD Video I have it ★★★
12 jun 16
Allen's perspective on the shallowness of the American upper middle class, with seen-it-before elements, interesting insights, and a fabulous Cate Blanchett. (6.5)
