Best director of 2010 secondo DeBaser.

❝ The Rover is desolation. It's a silent and dusty post-apocalyptic painting.

❝ A deep scratch, 100 minutes long.

❝ What do you expect from a King? No, I mean, the bare minimum?

❝ In short, this film really hits hard.

❝ An artist as indispensable as he is a pain in the neck.

❝ Viva la sposa is not what you expect.

❝ Robert Redford is an icon of democratic America.

❝ Four Oscars, including Best Picture and Director, a film with some flaws but all in all successful and touching.

❝ He still thinks that with common sense and words themselves, the world can change...

❝ The gallery is unexpectedly crowded. Yet, looking at it, it's not that beautiful.

❝ “The world is a beautiful place and worth fighting for. I agree with the second part...”

❝ “Ernest Hemingway once wrote: 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part.”

❝ “You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank, you're not the car you drive, you're not the contents of your wallet, you're not your fucking khakis, you're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world!” - Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt)

❝ 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.

❝ It is narrative fast food, but without even the advantage of being quick.

❝ Yet, in the end, the feeling is one of magnificent emptiness, a lack of ideas dressed up with the most astonishing special effects.

❝ The first thing I feel like saying about Terminator 2 is that the special effects are terrifying; after almost thirty years, I challenge anyone to say that the T-1000 has aged poorly.

❝ "'Draquila',it offends the truth and the entire Italian people!" Sandro Bondi, 08.05.2010 - Minister for Cultural Heritage and Activities

❝ Emblematic title (anagram of TROIA, as the author ironically defines herself? does it allude to a hypothetical RAI 8? or to the ATRIUM from which one imagines being confined?).

❝ 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

❝ If anyone needed an answer about the real capabilities of the Mexican filmmaker, Biutiful is an even too strong a response.

❝ A very well-made film, perfect from a technical point of view and touching in its message.

❝ A monstrously technical film, very talented actors starting with Keaton who delivers the performance of a lifetime, to Edward Norton real on stage and fake and an asshole in life just as they say he is in reality, to Birdman’s daughter, a Emma Stone ex-addict, alienated, beautiful.

❝ 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.

❝ “Either you love him or you hate him”

❝ “This film devastated me.”

❝ “Requiem For A Dream”, the funeral of a dream, the American dream, never before so bitterly and violently brought to its conclusions.

❝ The overall picture of Debra Granik's film is one of the most desolate (despite its simplicity) seen in cinema in recent years.

❝ 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.

❝ “There’s more to life than a little money, you know. And here you are, and it’s a beautiful day. I just don’t understand it..”

❝ “Take it easy, Dude!”

❝ LOOK AT ME! I WILL SHOW YOU THE LIFE OF THE MIND!

❝ “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!”

❝ The latest film by the Cohen brothers, which triumphed at the Oscars, is a very clear and sharp work, like drinking a glass of ice water.

❝ 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.

❝ Oscar Winner in 2007 for Best Adapted Screenplay ("The Departed" by Martin Scorsese).

❝ Michael Winterbottom tells us with this film the story of Tony Wilson and the historic record label that in the '80s, inspired by a Sex Pistols concert, he decides to found together with a group of his friends, Factory Records;

❝ Suspended halfway between "The Sheltering Sky" and "Gattaca," and released quietly, the film portrays an impossible love story, set against an extremely evocative landscape: a collage of Dubai, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur; paired with austere London interiors.

❝ Danny Boyle, either you love him or you hate him.

❝ The film is like a chocolate egg: sweet and satisfying enough to distract you from the fact that it is completely empty inside.

❝ First of all, "28 Years Later" seems to rewrite the cinematic grammar of zombie films, reformulating the style of a genre that was at risk of becoming stale, if not off-putting.

❝ A bad episode of "Homeland".

❝ Ultimately, a beautiful film, a masterpiece in its genre, boasting a unique story and a subtle and refined unease that gives the work a "cursed" air.

❝ It’s a harsh and dry film. If you could tread on noise, it would be like a lifeless leaf.

❝ A work very distant from expensive (often negligible) Hollywood productions.

❝ The relationship between human beings. This is the foundation of Mike Leigh's film.

❝ David O. Russell brings a true story to the screen, focusing especially on family relationships, the true subject of the film, much more than sports.

❝ 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...

❝ the Italian school system only works for those who don’t need it

❝ to be together, you must speak little. The indispensable.

❝ We were raised the old-fashioned way with punches and slaps

❝ People who only have a shared meeting point, this venue called “Shortbus” (like the buses that take children to school) which is a sort of disreputable dive, frequented by queens, drag queens, fetishists, S&M, lesbians, and all kinds of human and sub-human fauna.

❝ It is a film that, as simple as its narrative may be, excels in form and frills, continuously mocking an ideally bourgeois audience but not with the anger of the Dead Kennedys, but with a more carefree and narcissistic style.

❝ Heart-wrenching Film watching a couple suffer in different ways from the loss of their first child, who died chasing their dog into the street and was hit by a car just a step away from home.

❝ Combining history, drama, genuine laughter, and tension in such a fluid way is a titanic feat.

❝ Thriller and irony merge into a singular entity with distant precedents (the socially engaged cinema of the '70s) and see Affleck getting a few things off his chest, given the decidedly unflattering portrayal of Hollywood populated by ignorant rich folks and idiotic producers.

❝ The Town is an extremely solid film, well-directed with a good dose of craftsmanship.

❝ "We have the tools, we have the will, and now we're heading to Hell. But God will come with us."

❝ An imposing film and a high-level cinematic experience. Three hours of pure art of image and sound.

❝ It has its own identity. Damningly dark, perpetually immersed in a bleak, oppressive atmosphere, desperate... just like its hero.

❝ If you are fans of Lost, if you want to remain for months with many doubts in your head to understand what happened, if you want to see an "atypical" film, Cloverfield is for you.

❝ In reality, "The Next Three Days" is a thriller with multiple nuances, shot impeccably, possibly only too "cold" in some sequences.

❝ An essential denouncement film, without excesses, which I did not find to be rhetorical in delivering a strong and clear message.

❝ there's no comparison between the fragmentation and redundancy of the latter faced with the rigorous sparseness of "In the Valley of Elah."

❝ Edwards chooses slow shots that linger on scenes and savor every aspect—landscapes, movements, tension—without hurry.

❝ Rogue One is rigorous, precise, mathematical. But it completely lacks its own engine, an internal thrust to make the plot function.

❝ What I ultimately appreciated about the film is its independence. It’s the director who takes the film by the hand, not the other way around.

❝

Excellent reception at the 60th Berlinale and Sundance Film Festival, as well as 4 Oscar nominations.

❝ There isn’t a single external shot! An hour and a half in a coffin!

❝ The finale is a very well-done climax, so much so that at that moment (I admit it) I’m left open-mouthed until the last seconds that give us a masterpiece ending (as written by Repubblica) full of surprising genius.

❝ A film shot for 90 minutes inside a coffin, with just one actor (someone named Ryan Reynolds not even that expressive): no flashbacks, no other images except HIM and his damn cellphone.

❝ Here you finally have a modern horror with all the right ingredients.

❝ In the chaos of battle, when the ground underfoot is like a mix of blood, vomit, piss, and the guts of friends and enemies, it's easy to call on the Gods for help. But it's the soldiers who fight, it's the soldiers who die. The Gods do not soil their robes...

❝ We Never Sleep...

❝ There are films where the most important character is the setting, the location.

❝ American Brad Anderson has been portrayed since the early steps of his career as one of the most interesting emerging filmmakers.

❝ Despite achieving good success with audiences and critics, “Insidious” should be considered for what it is: a good horror film, with guaranteed “jump” scenes.

❝ Saw is indeed the manifesto of a new approach to the horror film, an approach tied closely to a low-budget philosophy and indie, to use a musical term.

❝ Personally, the first Saw struck me profoundly, and for this reason, I consider it a great film.

❝ The real problem is expecting something more from a film like "Takers" than what it actually is.

❝ King John has granted the "Magna Carta Libertatum."

❝ Natalie Portman with glasses, Joseph Gordon Levitt resembling a mix between Lemmy and Cliff Burton, a poster in Metallica style: it's impossible to remain indifferent to this movie.
