London

For heaven's sake... an album with excessive production, mediocre songs disguised by overwhelming arrangements. A heavy and redundant work, a kind of cream puff filled with indigestible lard.

One of the most beautiful scenes in Allen's cinema for me is in this film. I am referring to the portrayal of the Rampling character who, lying on the carpet, flips through a magazine and smiles at Allen. Woody gifts us breathtaking close-ups of the actress.

It doesn't have a script worthy of a novel, Armony, it doesn't have a happy ending; it's a reflection on the life of a man and his equine alter ego conveyed in simple, effective language. Want to know the ending? Redford heads towards Utah to free the horse, it's something between him and the animal, and the Fonda represents the external, material, and detached world that suddenly crashes into a different reality, and then all clichés come crashing down. Those familiar with most of Pollack's films (excluding the shameful remake of Sabrina) know that he has always portrayed a poor, derelict America far removed from the grand Hero made in the USA. Alva in "This Girl is in Love with You" is a loser, the protagonist of "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" is a desperate soul, Sally Field in "Absence of Malice" is naïve, and Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie" is also a poor loser... In the end, Sonny will be left alone, without a horse and without a woman. Anyway, I appreciated your critique.

Critiques must be argued seriously; only then can they be respected.

So they are idiots whose opinion means nothing.

What was the criticism? It’s a free film, featuring a superb couple of actors; in some moments, it’s intentionally trashy (the entire beginning where Sonny's miserable life is prominently showcased); I don’t know who panned it, and I couldn’t care less because, to me, it’s a very beautiful film, and above all, it’s directed with class... perhaps they made a critique against Redford’s mustache, the suit with the lights (the electric knight), or something else, but they clearly didn’t get a damn thing about the film.

I saw it. Different from "Interiors", here the setting is much simpler while in the 1978 film there is a deep exploration of the characters' souls. "Settembre" is essentially a film about feelings, but experienced over a brief period and perhaps not entirely clear. Let's say that all the protagonists are already inclined to "lay their cards on the table" and the house, the end of summer, and that twilight atmosphere become their accomplice. Very beautiful, and it doesn't surprise me that it was a disaster at the box office.

It's not the original poster; I couldn't find it.

...oh God, it is true that man does not actually have a specific ecological niche. The only living species that has lost its role and deliberately harms the Earth system, seeing it as a cancer (and not as a virus, which is not a living entity) can be a somewhat reckless perspective but not entirely far-fetched. Physicists and geologists may be able to explain better... I am just a nearly biologist.

Some time ago, I saw two cheerful students on TV demonstrating how to obtain H2 from water using a simple battery. The energy produced lit up a bulb... well, now I say that to hydrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen, a potential difference must be generated, and for that, you need the battery. However, the energy produced by hydrogen is less than what is used to dissociate water... there’s no advantage; H2 is still too unproductive and won’t be harnessed anytime soon.
