Federico Fellini Amarcord

@Lord: I don't understand your comparison with Kubrick; Fellini was a great storyteller, Kubrick an excellent technician and photographer dedicated to cinema; Fellini had a subjective vision of life; Kubrick sought to objectify it in his films. As an admirer of punk, I obviously also accept your spittle.

@poletti: if I really understood cinema, I wouldn't be an amateur reviewer ;)

Dario Argento Opera

@fritz: perhaps there’s a typo in your comment, as I believe that you "haven't" seen 4Mosche. Right there is a (nascent) bullet time at the end of the film. However, your observations are interesting: I still maintain that Opera is a missed opportunity for Argento, mainly due to a wrong choice of actors and the development of the otherwise excellent basic idea.

Very nice review. I've never listened to them. I'll make up for it.

Russ Meyer Beneath The Valley Of The Ultravixens (1979)

It's a really strange film that certainly flirts with hardcore but also wants to tell something more, portraying the States as so provincial and far from the idea we usually have of those lands. Very particular, and I adore Kitten Natividad.

@iside: but the fans of BOC actually call them BOC...

Beautiful review, In Search of Lost Time. I also fell in love with these films in early childhood, but ten years later than you, for obvious reasons.

Thank you for the comments: indeed, the morbid sadistic aspect of Opera is the most interesting thing about the film, deserving much more development and a very different staging; @happy: just so you know, Julian Sands is in Il fantasma dell'Opera, a film I have always refused to watch, just like the Syndrome...

@Occulto: maybe not obscene, but not as beautiful as some say, almost a minor-key compendium of Suspiria, with excessive concessions to classic motifs of the monster that kills, etc. I tried to rewatch it for the umpteenth time the other night, before finalizing the review, but it just doesn't grab me; which doesn't mean that Argento didn't have full mastery of cinematic technique in some scenes of the film... P.S.: Trauma isn't so awful.
