 An actor like John Travolta encountered great public success (especially female) and shortly thereafter, by heterogenesis of ends, in 1979 on the streets of New York quite a number of people displayed banners with the following slogan: “Disco sucks!”

 Watching the film today is just a proper review of the fashion history in the last quarter of the twentieth century.

This review revisits John Badham’s 1977 film Saturday Night Fever decades after its release, reflecting on its plot, performances, and cultural significance.

Ultimately, the film serves as a cultural time capsule rather than a masterpiece. Discover the story behind Saturday Night Fever’s dance craze and social impact—watch and explore this iconic 70s film now!

 The cinematic adaptation is faithful to the text.

 Lucile, a woman with romantic behavior and not at all feminist, still raises an important and widely debated issue.

The film explores themes of romance, societal expectations, and women’s financial dependence. While Catherine Deneuve delivers a beautiful yet somewhat icy performance, the movie thoughtfully reflects on female roles before the feminist wave. It offers rich insight into a bygone era’s social and emotional landscape. Discover this evocative 1960s French classic—watch La chamade and dive into timeless themes of love and social roles.

 To me, Klaus Kinski is the perfect embodiment of evil.

 Kinski embarked on an endeavor too great for him, exposing a musical genius reduced to sensual passions.

The review expresses strong dislike for Klaus Kinski's persona, portraying him as an incarnation of evil, which affects the reception of his work. His directorial effort in 'Kinski Paganini' is criticized as chaotic and superficial despite some redeeming musical moments. The film's depiction of Paganini as a lustful figure falls short of capturing the musician's genius. The review is also colored by personal revulsion due to Kinski's dark real-life history. Overall, the review condemns the film and Kinski's legacy with strong reservations. Explore the paradoxical legacy of Klaus Kinski and watch 'Kinski Paganini' to judge this controversial film yourself.

 A film still raw... for its disenchanted look at the ambiguous nature of the human being (a cross between angel and devil).

 Watching a film that dispenses, without complicity and malice, a dose of ultra-violence constitutes a valid outlet.

 "Nothing Is What It Seems," and here nothing is real.

 A truly heart-wrenching scene, underscoring the circular nature of existence and life.

The review praises Florian Zeller's film The Father for its powerful portrayal of dementia through the eyes of an elderly protagonist losing grip on reality. Anthony Hopkins delivers a masterful performance that captures the painful decline of mental faculties and its impact on family. The narrative's disorienting style immerses viewers in the confusion experienced by those with Alzheimer's. The film is a moving reflection on aging, loss, and the fragility of identity. Watch The Father to experience a powerful, emotional journey through dementia and the complexities of aging.

 "Art has this particularly great quality: it does not tolerate lies."

 The film shows that alcohol-induced euphoria is being outside oneself, confronting Kierkegaard’s concept of anguish—the awareness of freedom and choice.

 Presenting D'Annunzio in a vaguely progressive light is simply false.

 Through the electricity bill, we poor taxpayers finance films imbued with deleterious and contestable historiographical views.

Il cattivo poeta attempts to depict the final years of poet Gabriele D'Annunzio during the late 1930s but falls short due to its questionable portrayal. While performances and technical aspects are praised, the film advances a revisionist and inaccurate view of D'Annunzio as an anti-fascist figure. The reviewer criticizes RAI's involvement for promoting misleading historical perspectives to a broad audience. Discover the controversies behind Il cattivo poeta and decide for yourself how history is portrayed on screen.
