Ferzan Ozpetek Napoli velata

I wanted to give Ozpetek a chance, just for a change. I regret it bitterly. However, the initial hook-up between Borghi and Mezzogiorno is quite noteworthy, as she is a remarkable milf.

Federico Fellini La Dolce Vita

Fellini is something to be watched until your corneas wear out. This film is an institution of world cinema.

If it's in the vein of Fantastic Mr. Fox, it is absolutely worth watching. I adored that film; apart from the masterful stop-motion technique, the character writing and the gags are superb. Wes Anderson is a treasure of world cinema.

The most beautiful and important message that emerges from the film is that no one has a monopoly on suffering; we are all in the same boat, and waging war against each other only makes things worse. A beautiful legal drama, great pace, and outstanding performances from the actors (Kamel El Basha rightly awarded in Venice), with intense and heartbreaking reconstructions of past massacres. The film highlights the divisions and extreme ethnic and religious fragmentation in the Middle East, while trying to show that, despite everything, even two very different people can come to understand each other. It is not a feel-good movie; it is a film that wants to offer hope... perhaps it will remain a utopia, but it is beautiful that at least in someone's mind, peaceful coexistence can exist.

Interesting interpretation of the film's meaning. The discomfort that this movie conveys is something as penetrating as a nightmare.

Michael Haneke Happy End

Just finished watching yet another ruthless and icy representation of the squalor of the European bourgeoisie. Haneke's style doesn't provide you with precise reference points; it doesn’t show you the action but lets the characters narrate it. It doesn’t explain; it makes you think, offering no easy answers like the various Zemeckis, Spielberg, etc. Guys, this is cinema. Although I prefer Lanthimos's film.

Wonderful piece, dreamlike and unstable atmosphere. The review is beautiful as well.

Steven Spielberg Ready Player One

Even Spielberg himself divides his filmography into "films" and "movies." The "films" are the various "Schindler's List," "Munich" (so much to appreciate), "Bridge of Spies"... which are the ones I prefer. Then there are those he calls "movies" like E.T., Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park... This "RPO" clearly belongs to the second category, so it doesn't particularly capture my attention. That said, when it comes to building a media juggernaut, Uncle Steve can't be beaten.

Martin McDonagh Tre Manifesti a Ebbing, Missouri

Just out of the theater, I have to confirm what was said in the review. The film is certainly of good quality, but McDonagh here seems a bit more bourgeois compared to his first two works. Despite the excellent performances of the actors (Rockwell above all), the witty sarcastic lines sprinkled here and there, and some truly touching moments, the whole thing shows a bit of flattening that has obviously paved the way for the Oscars.

Michael Haneke Happy End

"I really loved 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer,' it's beautifully structured, with fantastic direction that has a very personal style, and the use of the original and disturbing soundtrack feels almost Kubrickian (!); the first hour goes by as if it were 15 minutes. After the very interesting 'The Lobster,' Lanthimos strikes again and firmly establishes himself among the most interesting young directors."
