Excellent Sanjuro!.. I fully agree with three-quarters of your comment! Indeed, some things from the first Ferrara are, as you say, "raw": I don't think so much, for example, about L'angelo della vendetta (rough, but very good in my opinion), but especially about China Girl (which, hoping not to blaspheme, I only save the initial chase scenes - after the embarrassing nightclub scene -, the circular dolly at the end, and the darkish hues... by the way, I don't believe it was shot on a shoestring budget!). In my opinion, the real ejaculatio comes with the Lieutenant and Addiction, although, as I've already said, I find the latter a bit too much of a stick up its ass (could it be that good old Nick St. John has gotten a swelled head? :DDD). As for Fratelli: making a stupid argument (and I apologize for it), I ask you: if Walken, Penn, and Gallo hadn't been at their best, would you still consider it among the peaks of the poor Abele's filmography?!... I mean, sure, Walken and company serve up the soup to the world, but the film itself?! P.S.: honestly, I still haven't quite understood what Pulp means... :DDD.. so just imagine if I can say whether the Lieutenant anticipates "all the pulp of the '90s" as you say, but "snack-anvil movie" is an excellent definition! Bye!

A couple of months ago (or maybe many more... I don’t remember..) I broke my cinematic vow and went to the nearest cinema to see The Wicker Man - Il prescleto.. among the ten worst films of my life: at one point Cage walks through the forest dressed as a bear and kicks the chick who did Misery Non Deve Morire like a flying Chuck Norris.. people were shocked..

By personal choice, I don't watch movies featuring Nicolas Cage... and now you're telling me there are even two of them?!?

Thanks also to El Guevo! @Sanjuro: first of all, thank you so much for not bashing my review (which I know is very far from your "ideal" of a cinematic review.. sorry!:D!) What I'm really interested in understanding is (and I pose the same question to El Guevo, given his last comment..): do you really consider this the best Ferrara?!?.. even more so than Bad Lieutenant?.. or The Addiction (although I’ve always found it a bit pretentious..)? I'm eagerly waiting.. bye!

Hi everyone!!..thank you so much for voting and commenting!!..I must say that this is not my favorite Ferrara film (..it's a tough competition between The Bad Lieutenant, The Addiction, and King of New York..). Honestly, I’ve always thought it could have been developed better: the flashbacks, in particular, sometimes lack impact.. I would have liked to see the relationship between the three brothers explored more deeply.. but we are talking about Ferrara: one of my favorite directors and certainly one of the best chroniclers of tortured souls out there. I believe the strengths of this film are mainly the acting and the cinematography.. So, maybe not an essential film, but still a really great one.. P.S.: am I the only one who sees the parallel between Walken and Keitel, or is it a valid connection?!? Bye and thanks again!

I'm returning to this page just to point out that: 1) this review is not listed among the oasis ones 2) my comments on this review are neither recorded among the latest comments nor on my personal profile (although I don't think I've said anything particularly smart so far..:( ) 3) "Sempre caro mi fu quest'ermo colle" rulez!

@El Guevo: Well, rather than focusing on mutation, I would say it's about the "double" and morbidity. In this sense, you're right to say that Cronenberg doesn't stray from his themes. Of course, he does it with a decidedly different tone from his usual style. For example, I think that in this film the theme of flesh plays a fundamental role... it's just that instead of the typical exaggerated and grotesque cronenbergian reading (?), a more "conceptual" one is preferred (that's not the most suitable adjective... but I can't think of the right one...). Having said that: how beautiful is the final scene?!? Underrated...
