Robert Zemeckis Ritorno al futuro

4?? But this is a masterpiece of cinema history.. every line is brilliant, every part meticulously crafted. It’s pure entertainment, alright, but if only entertainment were always like this..

Lars Von Trier Dancer In The Dark

von Trier is a provocateur, nothing more and nothing less.. but ultimately wasn’t Orson Welles the same? ..and besides, it’s a cinema that dares, regardless of everything, and that’s important.

For once, I agree with Dave ;-D ..I too would never have reviewed the entire trilogy. Moreover, as far as I'm concerned, I prefer the first one to the second: the first is a fresco of characters, they are the ones who drive the story, while the second is more didactic and perhaps a tad self-satisfied in its grandiosity, though certainly powerful and always captivating.

The first one made me want to throw up, I mean really disgusting, incomprehensible (actually, upon closer inspection, very comprehensible) all that excitement. So, I start off a bit biased, especially since it doesn’t seem like they’ve changed much..

Peter Weir The Truman Show

Copied almost word for word from "Time Out of Joint" by P.K. Dick, Peter Weir, you filthy pig ;-) ..I didn't like it too much either.. it seems to me that Weir's style doesn't match the theme well. Moreover, at times I get the impression that it slides into a sort of melodrama that's a bit soap-opera-like. Still, it's not a bad film either.

You've already asked me, Dave, so let me explain it to you :-D ..I'll start by saying, as we discussed before, that for me the album is primarily anything but a masterpiece (but it's still a decent album); the film does nothing but emphasize the same themes with a truly cloying sense of celebration. Perhaps the second part, which focuses more on Geldof's paranoid madness, is somewhat more successful, genuinely unsettling and sensible in its pairing with the animations, but the part with childhood memories is banal and even visually not remarkable enough to add anything of note to what the album expressed. If not, of course, in pure terms of rutilant Watersian egocentrism. Furthermore, I found it extremely pedantic and boring... it's a matter of taste...

Marco Ferreri Dillinger E' Morto (1969)

This is an absolute masterpiece.. the total lack of grip on reality.. beautifully, in this regard, all the shots Ferreri takes of the protagonist's hands, lost in a continuous desperate yet quiet attempt to reclaim physicality.. unmissable. Another great film by Ferreri, apart from the obviously La grande abbuffata, is Ape regina: a very modern uncorrect fresco of Italy in the '60s that is still very relevant today on the theme of "defense of the family" ;-)

In my opinion, this is a rather pointless movie.. aside from that, the review is really too long; I choose not to vote for you because I just couldn’t bring myself to read it.

Do you know what's really beautiful? I didn't hear it all, but what I did hear... reminded me more of "you're living.." rather than bug or "where you been".. that's why I liked it.
