Best director of 2003 secondo DeBaser.

❝ It's a hell of a thing, killing a man: you take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

❝ “Every now and then I like to lend a hand to you negros”.

❝ Make that four.

❝ «A film should be like a pebble in a shoe.»
L. Von Trier

❝ "Nymphomaniac is a four-hour porno. Long live Lars Von Trier."

❝ KATABASIS!

❝ “No one will ever be ready for Paranoid Park.”

❝ “Gerry” is a cruel film, reckless, not at all entertaining.

❝ Honestly, this is a film that perhaps shouldn’t exist.

❝ “You take a big risk by encouraging them to become artists, John. Once they realize they are not Rembrandt, Shakespeare, or Mozart, they will hate you for it.”

❝ “What we see and what we seem are but a dream, a dream within a dream”

❝ “Good morning, Truman!”

❝ 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.

❝ Since 1991, when he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film with Mediterraneo, Gabriele Salvatores has entered the pantheon of contemporary Italian directors.

❝ Thus, Mediterraneo is that stasis, almost dreamlike, of the dream of a perfect summer.

❝ We are talking about the Search for Nirvana. The essence of spiritual peace.

❝ Lunatic and unpredictable, the line of success rarely takes the shape of a straight line on the Cartesian plane.

❝ Because "by telling his stories over and over, a man becomes those stories. They continue to live on after him. And, in this way, he becomes immortal..."

❝ Since he's been here, the snow has never stopped falling...

❝ “Many who live deserve death, and some who die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

❝ “Cinema closed until real life doesn't feel like a movie. Stay safe. Be kind”

❝ “Braindead” a.k.a “Dead Alive” (translated here as “Splatters gli schizza-cervelli”) is THE MOST SPLATTER FILM EVER MADE!!!

❝ A cross between a dramatic film and a comedy, where strong themes are dealt with in a light and nonchalant manner.

❝ Where Quentin gives us a Disney-esque cartoon, Claude presents the true essence of mockery.

❝ there is often something unspeakable in Chabrol's cinematic women, a deviation, a marginality compared to the scene, the presence of a radical alienation from the normality of life.

❝ Chabrol follows the story with a scientist's eye, adhering to reality and psychological data,

❝ Films like "The Barbarian Invasions" make you discuss what is ethical and what is not.

❝ A monstrous and creepy circle of ex-68ers teachers and professors, well-off, vicious, slaves to their baseness, and chanting nonsense about "civil rights" (on this note, hear what the protagonist babbles about "l'arcipelago gualg").

❝ "Les invasions barbares" by Denys Arcand is a right-wing film.

❝ “This film left me a bit disappointed.”

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

❝ Is it still possible to make a silent film in the 2000s?

❝ The Virgin Suicides - in Italy: Il giardino delle vergini suicide - is the first film by Sofia Coppola, the daughter of Francis Ford.

❝ Somewhere is a shoegaze film (as are all of this director’s films): rarefied and personal, offering moments experienced by the protagonist recounted realistically and voyeuristically.

❝ No, the futuristic and dystopian dimension is not the salient feature of Virzì’s latest work.

❝ This is a film by Virzì, and that’s it.

❝ Both Ramazzotti and Bruni Tedeschi are extraordinary, never banal, and perfectly centered in their roles.

❝ Let me explain Tarantino to you. The greatest film by Tarantino. Greater than Pulp Fiction, greater than Inglourious Basterds and Kill Bill.

❝ "The important things to remember are the details, the details make the story believable!"

❝ QT is a billionaire pig and pisses on the hippies.

❝ It is and will remain the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.

❝ It is indeed a unique, original, unhealthy, morbid, disturbing film.

❝ Pupi Avati proves to be an adept screenwriter, aided by his trusted allies Antonio Avati (his brother) and Maurizio Costanzo (yes, him).

❝ “a lively-paced movie that smoothly goes on for two hours, rekindling the viewer’s love for the magic of cinema.”

❝ “Before Sunrise captures the roughly twelve hours Jesse and Celine spend together, wandering through the streets of romantic and melancholic Vienna, getting to know each other and falling in love.”

❝ “An absolutely winning choice.”

❝ An essential film, that has generated many clones and followers, and which retains its allure unchanged even after thirty years.

❝ Ridley Scott offers us a film as sumptuous as it is disappointing.

❝ Ridley Scott follows it step by step with a handheld camera and uses every blade, every drop, every ray. He will never again be capable of giving me such emotions.
