Occulto Supersovrano

masterpiece? Of course not, it is a decent film that has several flaws that limit it significantly (above all: ultra-stereotypical characters, a forcedly pathetic ending, and unnecessarily excessive length). The review, however, is very good (although I do not share its judgment).

Lariana, then I’d like to suggest a few titles: "Operazione paura," "Reazione a catena," and "I tre volti della paura" are 3 of the best films by Mario Bava, who is the greatest innovative genius of Italian horror cinema (and not only); if you like thrillers and haven’t seen it yet, you absolutely MUST watch "Non si sevizia un paperino" by Fulci, but "L'aldilà" and "7 note in nero" (also his but more properly horror) are very beautiful as well. Then there’s "Buio Omega" by Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) and "La casa dalle finestre che ridono" by Pupi Avati, two other must-see horror thrillers, in addition to all those belonging to the cannibal genre, like "Cannibal Holocaust," "Ultimo mondo cannibale," "Cannibal Ferox," etc. These are just a few of many; I could keep naming names since there’s an abundance of choice...

Lariana (Bubi?) what are you saying? Apart from the already mentioned Bava (Mario, but Lamberto also made excellent films), do names like Fulci, Mattei, Deodato, Lenzi, Martino, Massaccesi mean nothing to you? I mean, there’s a difference between saying "I don’t like the genre, I prefer thrillers" and claiming that there haven’t been great horror directors in Italy.

The masterpieces of Bergman are countless, and this is a very fine film, but certainly not his best; just off the top of my head, I would say that my favorites are "Hour of the Wolf" (this one is one of the greatest masterpieces of the Maestro, a chilling descent into the depths of the human psyche), "Through a Glass Darkly" (one of the best films ever on the theme of incomprehensibility and the relationship between faith and madness), and of course "Cries and Whispers."

Not bad this Three Extremes, especially the episode by Fruit Chan (Dumplings). For a while, it made me lose the desire to eat steamed dumplings when I go to a Chinese restaurant.

You’re right, it’s the last album before the abyss; beautiful, but upon closer inspection, this doesn’t hold up to the previous masterpieces, even though there’s She Don't Use Jelly, which is one of their best songs.

The film is one of the masterpieces of Roman cinema, and the review is excellent; perhaps I would have avoided revealing the ending.

The soundtrack of Judgment Night (1993) is my favorite (in fact, I reviewed it), even more than this one and the one from The Crow (which is from ’94). Of the three, this is the one I like the least; some tracks are really mediocre (a big disappointment were the Butthole Surfers, "Tiny Rubberband" is terrible; definitely better are the pairings of Manson + Sneaker Pimps and Rollins + Goldie).

it seems that I've missed something fundamental... I'll make it right (sooner or later)

Tacky in just the right way
