I made a mistake in giving the vote.
Stanley Kubrick Arancia Meccanica
Voto:
I don't consider it among Kubrick's best; my favorites are Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, Robbery at the Point of a Gun, Paths of Glory, Full Metal... in short, I prefer many others, but it deserves 3 and a half, 4 stars.

Beautiful for the first 10 minutes, then nothing. It's a little film.

Alfred Hitchcock Il delitto perfetto
Voto:
If I remember correctly, Hitchcock didn't like The Paradine Case, but one can also disagree with him himself. Notorious is certainly a great film, but my favorites are the ones I've mentioned. (Here we are in the realm of personal opinions). One that I didn't care for much is Marnie, not so much for the unreliable psychological construction, which is also present in "I Will Save You," but because it's WAY too talky. Anyway, there are some nice touches (like the maid cleaning the floor while Marnie...) in this film as well. One that's a bit underrated is Torn Curtain; it might not be a masterpiece, but it's full of twists and some characters are really well crafted (the Stasi agent, the jealous ballerina). I liked it, even though the director ignores the unreliability of certain events, but, you know, he was only interested in keeping the audience glued to their seats.

Yes, many. But for me, the "American" period yielded the best fruits, after Selznick convinced him to go to the United States. For example, "Young and Innocent" didn't excite me. As for the other films from the "English" period, I can't give a judgment... I haven't seen them.

I also wanted to point out a great film "Delitto in pieno sole" by Clément, which features A. Delon (whom I don't particularly like), but the film is really beautiful. Minghella did a remake, "Il talento di Mr. Ripley," which is inferior and also very different from Clément's film.

As for Andrew Davis's remake, I must say it didn't seem special to me, especially when compared to the original, from which it retains practically nothing. Regarding Hitchcock, I had a big book from Gremese that contained everything about the director, for example, that the TV show *Hitchcock Presents* usually lasted about 23 minutes and that Hitch personally directed about twenty of them (of course, he chose the best ones). I also wanted to mention that Colombo adopts a method similar to that of the English director (informing the viewer). After all, it’s the most successful series of them all. To be honest, the first one (as far as I remember) who made a film revealing who the murderer was right away was Billy Wilder in *Double Indemnity*, which came out in '44. But I might be mistaken; perhaps Hitchcock made some before '44, having been active since the '20s.
Joel & Ethan Coen Blood Simple - Sangue Facile

One of the best from the brothers, roughly on par with: Barton Fink, Fargo, No Country for Old Men, but slightly lower than my favorite, which is The Man Who Wasn't There.
