R.E.M. - Pilgrimage Sons of the Byrds, rallying. Among all the jangly jingle-jangly sounds of the '80s, I thought they would end up being my favorites, until Scott Miller came along and made me doubt everything. But they are still a wonder, of course.

Queen of the Deep (2007 Remaster) Perfect album, among the best of '70s classic rock. Three years off and one more German in the lineup, and out comes an album that is as simple as it is inspired, beautiful. @[fedezan76] if we’re not on the same wavelength even with "Phenomenon," I swear I’ll change gender and become a nun.

Oh How We Danced Track 8: Oh How We Danced @[fedezan76] this, for example, makes me shed a tear, for the passion, the soul I feel within it, and the involvement it conveys to me. What beauty, as well as all the original tracks of this (and not only) album.

II - Roman Polanski's PIRATES - Ghost-ship.flv After "Tess" (joy!), for me, Polanski's golden age comes to an end, that period when he produced almost exclusively excellent films or masterpieces. After that, which is also quite normal, his work becomes more fluctuating in quality (with at least one more masterpiece, at least, and several other nice films but also some real duds), particularly that period spanning the mid-'80s to the early '90s which I believe was, in my opinion, the least interesting of his career, featuring a trio of films that are rather (un)remarkable. Like this one, which actually has some nice bits, a tasty pirate-like Matthau, a few memorable scenes (the dinner with the rat), and an appropriately adventurous flair, along with a dose of "wickedness" that Polanski never fails to include, just like in all his comedies; it’s not a bad film and I understand it can be entertaining, unfortunately for me, pirate adventures and stories hold no appeal whatsoever and honestly, I got quite fed up watching this film. I enjoy maritime ballads, films... Less. As a homage to classic adventure cinema, it’s not bad, but not to my taste, thanks.

Julie Andrews "CRAZY WORLD" (1982) Henry Mancini + Julie Andrews + Blake Edwards = masterpiece. Am I crazy for always thinking that I would go wild listening to this song in Hammill's version?

Roman Polanski’s Tess - Movie Trailer (1979) What do you say, youngsters, about this lively costume comedy directed by a very cheerful Polanski in exile? Three hours of nonstop misfortune and bad luck, surrounded by extraordinary photography and visual beauty, far beyond mere aesthetics; the cinematography (by Geoffrey Unsworth, the same guy from "2001," just to mention, who unfortunately passed away before filming wrapped up, because Tess's misfortunes seem to spread) is vivid and emotionally incredible. From this perspective, this film is an extraordinary masterpiece, not in an absolute sense, but even so, it’s a great movie. Great Kinskina, too. Sure, by the end of the film, you might want to get drunk, but hey, it's beautiful, isn't it?

The Tenant (Roman Polanski, 1976) - Trailer Podio Polanski? Podium Polanski (3) Because, inevitably, a podium is stupidly narrow when one has a filmography like his; however, this is the Polanski I like the most, the European who returns to be European in Europe, essentially playing at home, except that the home is a nightmare, as usual. The Polanski of the apartment delirium is my favorite, this one and that of "Repulsion," I mean, a little less so for the nonetheless splendid Rosemary and the brilliant "Carnage." Perhaps my favorite Polanski film even though it has a strong competition of at least 5 or even 6 other films. Restoring the partnership with Brach, glorious in the 1960s, here’s the film that no one just out of a condominium meeting should ever watch. Open to multiple interpretations, with the author rediscovering himself as a director-writer and actor like in the days of the semi-comedy about vampires and an Isabelle Adjani who here begins to flirt with horror and the grotesque until, later, she becomes it herself (different film, different story). Kafka is always mentioned, that’s fine, but it's also a horror version of Fantozzi (also from the same year, everything returns), poor Trelkovsky. The horror in this masterpiece is on multiple levels, for example, Polanski dressed as a woman—stuff that would haunt the dreams of even the strongest hearts for weeks after watching, or the apartment with a toilet view, that alone would be enough to throw oneself out of the window, never mind the Egyptians.

Chinatown - Trailer Second hit-and-run by Polanski in Hollywood, equally impactful and successful compared to Rosemary. This is Polanski's homage to hard-boiled, with a screenplay by Robert Towne. A film with an "old-fashioned" imprint in modern New Hollywood, yet still tinged with modernity; Polanski adds his touch to make it darker, merciless, and more relentless than this genre already was, one of the few allowed to deviate from the predictable happy ending of old Hollywood. Two leading actors who are quite remarkable, a John Houston who embodies the triumph of the pathetic man destined to meet a grim end, but won't because life sucks and the film is a downer, see the discussion above, and a Polanski who gifts us with a memorable cameo. And enough has been said about "Chinatown," since even stones know it, just like Rosemary and "The Pianist." Rightfully so.

Macbeth (Polanski, 1971) - HD Trailer Overture: Macbeth The blood-red, raw, and cathartic Macbeth directed by Polanski. A very intriguing rendition, not perfect, that disturbs with its darkness, which was probably reminiscent of the director's state of mind at the time. The beautiful elements are not lacking, starting with the soundtrack branded by Third Ear Band (which, by the way, will be their last album for a long time), a decent first post-Komeda soundtrack, I would say. It's curious how the best rendition of the famous English tragedy on the big screen came from a Japanese director, in Japan, with Japanese actors and a Japanese setting. Perhaps because that version is the most genuinely cinematic; here, for example, the very elaborate dialogue of the actors, tied to the theatrical form, clashes with the dry, naturalistic style and the rawness of certain sequences. But it is nonetheless a remarkable film. A Macbeth in 1971, featuring Third Ear Band and psychedelic-toned visions, seems just right to me.
