Appropriate receipt to the quality of the product, due to the transitive property...

Oh, well, then bring it on, the picaresque attitude adds color and folklore to the whole thing!

Sorry Supersoul, I understand that there’s no good blood between you and Poletti. I hope to be able to refrain from taking sides in this matter, as long as it doesn't directly affect me. Poletti hasn't really struck a chord with me yet, so I have no real reasons for resentment. And, although his remarks can sometimes come off as rather general, I don’t think it’s a bad thing to give at least a minimal (or pseudo-manualistic) orientation to any newcomers or individuals interested in approaching the filmography of a certain author/director (my posts were quite obvious for those who are already familiar with Wenders, Fassbinder, Schlöndorff, the early Petersen, etc., but let's just move on). I hope I don’t come across as too populist, but I already have respect for your contributions.

Okay, written in a rush, some typos here and there.

Reiz has been continuing for over 30 years with his disassembling almost like an entomologist, so he’s got his back covered. Fassbinder hasn’t been analyzable for 25 years due to force majeure, while the others have followed rather different evolutionary paths (as was logical) with more or less appreciable outcomes. I don’t think the filmography of the '70s Germans can be subjected to analysis that disregards the historical context (socio-cultural, to which it belongs, after all it was still a movement of rupture).

Well, there is also the usual sociological reflection that characterized all the German directors of the "new generation" in the 70s (including that megalomaniac Herzog: "Stroszek"), and which cannot be overlooked: post-economic boom Germany, the guilt of the "fathers" (whose intellectual and moral supinity is not accepted by those who do not feel directly responsible, and rather deprecated with the term "Papa's Kino"), a crisis of traditional values, and the consequent recovery and utopian revision of the "age d'or," contrasted with the contemporary fascination for the prevailing American myth, which must be reinterpreted critically.

Customer Service: it is still a hefty 3-hour affair, or thereabouts (I mention this only because, in my opinion, the duration should be noted in some cases).

Jim Jarmusch Dead Man

Mmmmm, so this, like all of his films, symbolically or otherwise, has as its focal point the theme of travel (the western and its structural elements are slowly taken apart piece by piece by Jarmusch, and even when he uses typical genre framing, he does so in a way that contradicts its dictates). Along with "Ghost Dog," it is Jarmusch's work that is richest in references (which he decontextualizes, disregarding the need to bring them back to a minimum common denominator that is external to "his" story/vision). Small note, suggestion: starting from the premise that almost the entire film revolves around the transit of an already deceased individual, has anyone noticed that the other characters who relate, directly or indirectly, to William Blake also end up departing?!

There’s always the compromise technique, a precursor to peer to peer, convince a friend to make a purchase and then...wild burning (at least one copy is sold, and you’re good with your conscience).
