 The film has been edited down from the original 131 minutes to just 97.

 The explicit lampooning of the RAI TV institution... suggests it provoked irritation for some high-ranking radio-television figure.

The review highlights the posthumous censorship of Luigi Zampa’s 1970 film Contestazione Generale, which was significantly shortened from 131 to 97 minutes. The film originally provided incisive social critiques of Italian protest movements and institutional hypocrisy through distinct episodes featuring notable actors. However, censorship reduced its impact, especially the first segment targeting RAI TV. Despite flaws in tone and execution, the film remains a culturally significant work reflecting Italian societal struggles and media control. Discover the lost pieces of Italian cinematic history—watch Luigi Zampa’s Contestazione Generale and explore its censored truths.

 If you happen to meet someone who argues that 'things were better when they were worse,' don’t hesitate to take them to see (lest we forget) Amelio’s latest film titled 'The Lord of the Ants.'

 Feeling nostalgic for those times is simply absurd.

Gianni Amelio's film The Lord of the Ants revisits the tragic 1960s case of Aldo Braibanti, an intellectual persecuted under fascist-era laws for his homosexuality. The review highlights the film's commitment to civil rights issues, though noting some fictional liberties and missing historical context. It stresses the continued relevance of the film's themes in Italy's social landscape. Overall, the film is praised though not perfect. Watch The Lord of the Ants to explore a compelling chapter of Italy's civil rights history through powerful storytelling.

 One is certainly struck by the technical amateurism of the film.

 What remains is only a sort of sonic and filmic graffiti that confusedly testifies historical moments in the career of Robert Zimmerman.

Eat the Document documents Bob Dylan's 1966 tour but suffers from technical amateurism and a confused final edit. Dylan's direction led to tension with original filmmaker Pennebaker and the film’s rejection by ABC. Despite its flaws, it captures rare historical moments with Dylan and The Band. The film remains more a fragmentary testimony than a polished documentary. Dylan learned from this experience for future film work. Watch 'Eat the Document' on YouTube to witness a raw piece of rock history and Dylan’s ambitious but flawed directorial debut.

 Cronenberg begins to show us how our human body can become subject to manipulations.

 A critic like Kim Newman qualified it as 'proof that you can be interesting and boring at the same time.'

 "Presley’s human and professional life appears somewhat superficial, glossy."

 "Tom Hanks’s portrayal is perfect in conferring Luciferian and unsettling traits to Parker."

Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis is a visually dazzling biopic that explores the king of rock’s rise and decline through the perspective of his controversial manager. While Austin Butler's portrayal shines, the film glosses over many nuances of Elvis’s life, music roots, and complex personality. Key aspects such as his musical diversity and relationships are simplified, offering a somewhat superficial narrative. The movie succeeds in showing Elvis’s charisma but falls short of a fully accurate or deep biography. Discover the highs and lows of Elvis’s life through Baz Luhrmann’s vibrant but flawed biopic—watch and judge the king’s story yourself!

 Those who have been damaged are dangerous because they know they can survive.

 It’s just as well to apply the Latin saying 'carpe diem.'

 The good Lerner took legal action in British courts to regain possession of all the material, and only after four years did he succeed.
