Io Ho Il Pene Banned

It is true that the imagination of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling has helped more than one director to coast along, but this is a decently constructed film. If I had to criticize something, I would point to chapters 2 and 3; those are really embarrassing. However, the first chapter is still successful, with some interesting touches like the particular directing technique (the so-called virtual camera movement) that gives the scenes a peculiarity that has since been emulated by many, along with a somewhat clever sprinkle of antique cyberpunk (15 - 20 years late) and Cartesian philosophy.

The first 20 minutes are good, then it really loses itself, never to be found again, on the edge of the pathetic and in bad taste. I would never want to say such things about a genius, but unfortunately, it's true. The nightclub scenes are frankly embarrassing, just like Wenders' "In the Land of Weeds."

Let's also remember the excellent performance of Chris Penn aka Eddie the Beautiful, an actor with two balls like that, who recently passed away, a huge actor often relegated to a mere character actor; he was so much more.

As a fairy tale, this movie is quite nice; the fact is it has become a cult classic for all the smells spirits, so we need to reconsider it in a different light. The story is certainly trivial, but the nighttime aesthetic was meant to be just like this, images that travel between Poe and Milton but on tracks for teenagers. We are not dealing with Derek Jarman, that's for sure, but it's better than other junk.

The most legendary hyena of all is undoubtedly Vic Sorriso, Michael Madsen is a notch above everyone, even above Keitel and Buscemi, the most legendary film of the '90s. "Guys, do you also listen to the Super Sound of the '70s by K-Billy? It's my favorite show."

a mad morning...

a record that bears witness to turmoil, the tectonic fragment, the end of a society in decline, I don't understand how one could give less than 5 to an album like this.

Andy Warhol called it "the A Clockwork Orange of the '80s"; indeed, the violence here is a consequence of the media's overexposure, a step further into a hellish technocracy compared to Kubrick's masterpiece, which is, for me, the unsurpassed work of the Canadian filmmaker. Although the staging is rather haphazard, the message is prophetic: the fascist project of absolute dominion over minds carried out by Barry Convex, owner of a fake optometry company, is actually a cover to advance the Videodrome project (a signal emanating from a videotape that creates a breach in the viewer's brain, who watches the tape on their television, ultimately resulting in a cancer that programs the individual's life according to the needs of the fascists). Not too far from today's reality: the media now subjugate us, especially those unprepared for such possibilities (mind control is still secretly perpetrated by the CIA's MK ULTRA project, which employs new and more powerful and sophisticated Ludovico techniques or Videodrome signals). VIDEODROME HAS SOMETHING POLITICAL THAT YOU DON’T.

I could live in hope, trust and things we lost in the fire are objectively superior.

the last great film by Argento, and yet I would have diversified the ending a bit, it’s a little demented, it doesn’t live up to everything the film offers in my opinion.... anyway, a solid 5.
