Best director of 2002 secondo DeBaser.

❝ It’s a Polanski from ’66, and it is an absolute masterpiece of cinema!

❝ A must-watch.

❝ “Repulsion”, dated 1965, is Polanski’s second film, and the first of his “Apartment Trilogy” which includes “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Tenant”.

❝ Cars 2 is absolutely not the case: the story of this film leaves you with absolutely nothing, the espionage thread is introduced lazily, the characters have practically no personality except for Mater, who is made the absolute protagonist.

❝ The substance from which cinema is made.

❝ Garrone does not force his hand to showcase a recognizable style; he prefers to find the right photography, transform the set into a stage, direct the orchestra, and give the technique a descriptive-empathic function.

❝ Since I was born I think I have never seen an Italian fantasy film like this.

❝ Probably the best feature film ever to come to us from the country of samba, "The City of God" is more than a film and more than a documentary: it is a carbon copy of the real situation in the favelas.

❝ "The Constant Gardener," although at times it verges on the sentimental and may come across as dull in certain parts, is in my opinion a completely successful film dealing with "hot" topics through a sharp and at times even documentary style.

❝ A truly great film.

❝ This is a film of old men.

❝ "This place makes me think. What would be better, living as a monster, or dying as a good man?"

❝ YOU DIDN'T KNOCK ME DOWN... DID YOU HEAR, RAY!?!?… YOU DIDN'T KNOCK ME DOWN

❝ Duel, Spielberg's first feature, will remain in the history of cinema as the true jewel of a director who, unfortunately, for a long time, wastes his talent in blockbuster productions with results sometimes overly-sweet and banal, sometimes admirable but invariably destined for public success at the expense of the actual quality of the work, with some exceptions.

❝ When the horizon is high, it’s interesting; when it’s low, it’s interesting. When it’s in the center, it’s fucking boring!

❝ a “woman with balls” before it became trendy.

❝ Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you cry alone.

❝ You have annihilated me

❝ There is no other choice, eat or be eaten.

❝ Michael Moore is truly passionate about highlighting with hard-hitting and polemical documentaries how even the most powerful country in the world has its flaws.

❝ Either you pay, or you're on your own, basically!

❝ "DIAZ" was a necessary film, and my judgment can only be positive in respect of the initiative, courage, and effort of those who wanted to fill the cinematic void on the "most serious suspension of democratic rights in a Western country since World War II".

❝ I have learned the hard way that when you're faced with the debut film of a young Italian director, there's a good chance you'll encounter a morally diligent, introspective piece.

❝ In "Do the Right Thing" Spike Lee reaches his stylistic maturity, his direction is original, dynamic, realistically raw, unadorned, and provocative...

❝ succeeds in an initiative bordering on the impossible: making an American crime thriller with less than 5 minutes of shootouts and chases.

❝ “25th Hour” is an emotional, intense film, probably Spike Lee’s most mature work, which deviates from his previous films...

❝ “3-Iron” (Bin-Jip), is Kim Ki Duk's masterpiece, a sublime balance of form and substance.

❝ Kim Ki Duk is without a doubt one of the greatest representatives of Oriental cinema, and with his works, he has created a purely romantic and lyrical way of filming and understanding cinema, giving a poetic touch to films that remain absolute masterpieces of this art.

❝ Pietà is a highly dramatic film. There is never any laughter.

❝ “This film left me a bit disappointed.”

❝ “Kidnapped” by 83-year-old Marco Bellocchio is the confirmation of a talent not yet completely dormant.

❝ What exactly happened in the Vatican during the Second World War and particularly during the systematic extermination of the Jews by Hitler?

❝ Nolan is an exceptional storyteller and a great entertainer, a director who creates grand and excessively ambitious works, aiming to introduce the general public to the complexity of the world, matter, and quantum mechanics in an accessible way, combining demanding (and obviously recurring) themes with blockbuster spectacle.

❝ This "Memento" is not a film, it's a logic exercise, it's a very subtle game that conceals and reveals the truth, that makes you believe it's leading you towards it and then mocks you, that challenges your logic and mocks your intelligence… it’s brilliant, in every single detail.

❝ The most cruel time is the one Nolan runs to pack everything into two and a half hours.

❝ A beautiful work by the young Spanish director, who manages to deeply capture the state of mind of someone who finds themselves with nothing in the palm of their hand.

❝ “The television screen is now the only true eye of the human mind”.

❝ “I loved the illusion of a woman created by a man,”

❝ “Bless me? Do you know what God did for me? He threw an eighteen-wheeler at me, knocked me into oblivion for five years; when I woke up, my girl was gone, so was my job, and my legs were basically useless. Bless me? Yes, God has been a real benefactor to me...”

❝ Emanuele Crialese returns to celebrate the sea with a cast ranging from the confirmed to the tested.

❝ The viewer will likely be moved by the sweet naivety that pervades the characters in this beautiful film by Emanuele Crialese.

❝ "Death is an eternal isolation"

❝ Because the true soundtrack of this film is what's around us, elements of daily life: the wind moving the tree branches, the waves of the sea dying on the beach, a washing machine in operation.

❝ Of the many films about alienation, this is probably the greatest ever made: it is truly alienated and alienating in every aspect that composes it.
