Billy Wilder Sabrina

11 mar 07

Voto:

I like Wilder's films that are not comedies; in my opinion, he really delivered his best in those films: Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity, Lost Weekend, Witness for the Prosecution. This is the Wilder I prefer. It's quite a personal thing, anyway, since I'm certainly not a great admirer of American comedy.

Steven Spielberg Schindler's List

ghemison stay calm, I've already said I don't want to engage in controversy, by now everyone knows what I think of Spielberg, and I will never change my mind about his way of making cinema. The Pianist by the great Polanski is definitely superior to this film. Besides, you accuse me of things I've said; the things I've said were also said by STANLEY KUBRICK when the film was released. I don't think I deserve your resentful words. If you have something personal against me, just say it without dragging my ideas on Spielberg into it because it's like shooting at the Red Cross.

I've never liked Spielberg, but I don't feel like igniting controversies today; I don't even have the time. I support Poletti's motion—rhetorical and tremendously mannered, slick; Kubrick was right about that.

Tobe Hooper The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

not to mention that shit of the last house on the left by the overrated craven, this film smells like cowshit from the countryside, the same that makes me open the window and breathe in deeply, a MASTERPIECE of historical significance

Elio Petri Todo Modo

Voto:

After the two masterpieces "Indagine" and "La classe operaia", Petri made another uncomfortable film, certainly inferior to those two, but Volonté is frightening in how he immersed himself in the role of Aldo Moro. What a gigantic actor; it's almost diminishing to even talk about it... It goes without saying that the DC in this film resembles more of a shadow government, like in "X-Files". Petri doesn't stray far from the truth: mafia - church - DC, the same thing.

Christopher Nolan Memento

Voto:

it's not as brilliant as the director wanted to show, often compared to certain Lynchian temporal drifts, I say not even close, we didn't get there, it bored me to death, the supposed intellectualism is not enough, there's something too weak in this film, a continuous stress and the reason lies in all this complication which seems excessive given the final little message. Nolan wanted to make his Lost Highway and in my opinion, he missed the mark. I wanted to give it a 2, but then thinking about all the work Nolan put into the editing and a more than decent cinematography, so 2.5 / 3.

Peter Weir The Truman Show

On the theme of the Orwellian Big Brother, I believe there are better things out there. Carrey is fantastic, of course (though I prefer him in Man on the Moon), but I've never really liked the film that much. When it comes to the theme of control, a film like "Brazil" devours it for breakfast.

Peter Weir Picnic A Hanging Rock

Voto:

an object laden with unfathomable mystery and pansexual paranormality, this film—especially regarding the naturalistic element—truly the protagonist that Weir (does not) want to shed light on. The film I prefer by Weir.

Alejandro Jodorowsky El Topo

Voto:

magnificent film, among my favorites, metaphysical western, saturated with ritual esotericism, psychovisuality on the edge, as Jodo himself says: "if you are deep, you will understand the depth of the film; if you are intellectually limited, the film will appear limited to you." These visionary filmmakers of the '70s from South America like Jodo, but also Arrabal, were groundbreaking.

Mario Bava Operazione Paura

6 mar 07

Voto:

The plot, however, is quite insignificant; everything else is saved, from the attention to photography that alternates between the gloomy and bruised tones of sepia, green, and dull red, to the bright explosions, and some ideas even taken from Lynch in Twin Peaks, like that of the doppelgänger chasing the protagonist through various rooms (in Twin Peaks, in the final episode, the same thing happens with Agent Cooper in the red rooms). Too bad, I repeat, for the plot: laughable.
