Francesco Barilli Il profumo della signora in nero

Tom, it seems he's gone out but it's rare. In any case - even if Ajeje disagrees - I recommend it to you, also because I really cared about this review, which I read little: in my opinion, it's a must, even for the underlying cruelty that, I repeat, is at least disturbing, without excesses of violence or sadism that are instead widespread in Argento. Watch it and let me know (along with "Il mostro" by Luigi Zampa). Bye!

Ajeje... have you noticed that it’s only the three of us who have seen it - given the number of comments? I put it on par with the films you mention because on four occasions (cat, little girl, abandoned house attack, ending) it terrified me;

How? No one commented on it? Shame... I'll do it myself. I don't know this Todd, what do you recommend from his post-74 production?

Legendary! As for the critiques, it seems obvious to me that Il_Paolo has made initial and final greetings his trademark.

In my opinion, Poletti, Ustinov - a great actor - as Poirot does not adhere to the traits of the novels: too much self-irony and excessive caricature; better, I repeat, Finney, and even David Suchet from the television series, although too... bald to fully embody the role.

Beautiful, although the film by Lumet based on "Murder on the Orient Express" is even better - I also prefer Finney to Ustinov, who is less aligned with the literary Poirot. As for the mysteries: from that period, I kindly suggest you try all of Ellery Queen - more cerebral than Christie -; John Dickson Carr - with plenty of supernatural touches covering perfectly rational stories; S.S. Van Dine, with very interesting plots and difficult puzzles to solve. The novels from the "I Bassotti" series are also great.

The Clash London Calling

I’ve read some comments downplaying The Clash, in my opinion the last great band to come from across the channel. In its encyclopedic nature, this album, paradoxically the offspring of American rock - as evidenced by the cover that ironically plagiarizes Elvis - represents both the concluding page of '70s rock and the initial one of '80s rock. By the book and from a deserted island, alongside "Sandinista!" from the following year.
