❝ Take the case of a documentary filmmaker like Murray Lerner: a debutant in the '50s with documentaries set in marine environments, in the following decade he attended various editions of the Newport Folk Festival, only to find himself at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970, filming all the performances of the groups and singers present during the five days of the historic event.
❝ I warmly recommend watching this film made by documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner, published in 2018 but dating back to the Isle of Wight music festival in 1970 (an authentic inexhaustible mine of live performances by rock and jazz musicians of the time).
❝ The docu-horror "Videocracy" aims to show how the lobotomization caused by butts, breasts, reality show stars, showgirls, and every other devilry of the so-called commercial TV over thirty years, has created a monster, and this monster would be the Italian people.
❝ Ricky finally makes it to the screen as "the tarantula". He made it.
❝ The "truth" is what is filmed; but there are also photography, editing, narrative ellipses, all that makes this intellectual work a product, a narrative with a thesis, a thesis that is "plausible," not altogether shareable for some reasons on which I intend to dwell.
❝ There are movies that start almost in silence, gradually winning you over until they unleash moments of true excitement that you can no longer control.
❝ This splendid documentary film tells us about possibly the most famous boxing match ever, fought by Muhammad Ali and George Foreman.
❝ ONLY WITH THE EYES: NO MOUTH OR HANDS, A RESTLESS JOURNEY INTO HUMAN SOLITUDE.
❝ "Why do I have to keep living this life, repeating the same things every day like everyone else? The same class every day, the same uniform... it's true that I don't have a specific dream, but I do have aspirations."
❝ The crazy idea it proposes is that for sixty years, especially the American government, have been doing everything to cover up sightings, ridicule or threaten those who report sightings.
❝ This is the thesis of Massimo Mazzucco, associated with the site Luogocomune.net, who for years has been fighting against debunkers worldwide about 9/11, supported by associations of physicists, architects, and engineers from England, America, and Italy determined to dismantle the official thesis.
❝ The real strong point of Mazzucco's film lies in the almost total absence of tone drops and the continuous exposition of facts that instill in the viewer nothing but doubts and an unhealthy desire for truth.
❝ But to consider Fuocoammare as a political work would be the gravest of mistakes.
❝ It's definitely an unusual film, peculiar, original, it deserves credit for that.
❝ They screened it at the cinema for only three days, this docufilm about Enzo Jannacci.
❝ The admiration and respect for this great artist of ours are total. Not one of the interviewees had a single bad word to say.
❝ To reach the Andromeda Galaxy, traveling at the speed of light, it would take 2 million years.
❝ Does anyone know how to build a neutrino detector? No, right? Neither do I! But, after reading this essay, I found out.
❝ The most beautiful Italian film of 2021? It’s called "Ikos" by Giuseppe Sciarra.
❝ "People try to put us down, I'm talking about my generation!"
❝ “Brothers and sisters, who wants to fight?”
❝ The leading documentarian of Italian cinema, Vittorio De Seta appears in this interview meeting in Palermo, 1995, a city that dedicated a complete film retrospective to his work; filmed and conducted by the almost intimidated and not very incisive Daniele Ciprì and Franco Maresco, along with a sulfurous and always dazzling Goffredo Fofi, the conversation revealed to us a calm and upright Vittorio De Seta, endowed with an elegant aristocratic charm, which he truly possessed, courteous and seemingly outside the modern era, which he already testified was vanishing back then, as if by implosion, towards a point of no return in which we are still dangerously immersed today.
❝ That sign takes us back to a particular past in German history from the end of the First World War to 1933, the year of Hitler's rise to power and the Nazi movement, which coincides with the fall of the Weimar Republic.

❝ it does not go beyond a decent assignment, good only for those approaching the Californian band for the first time.
❝ The film is an absolute must-see, very deep and introspective, a source of many reflections on life, death, and success.
❝ Music and cinema are two profoundly different expressive mediums, each containing numerous differences, facets, angles, and points of view aimed at evoking emotions in the listener/viewer.
❝ The filmed evidence of Michael Jackson's last days makes Obama and the pope seem like Z-list stars.
❝ "Charlie is my darling"
❝ There are many ways to feel chills down your spine: the page of a book, the scene of a thriller, the evolutions of a solo. Or you can follow in awe this film that documents, as much as Gomorrah and more, the environmental disaster caused by organized eco-criminality in Campania.
❝ Buy it, don't borrow it. It's one of those books that should be read and re-read, even at the cost of opening memories and soul wounds that still burn when they are evoked...
❝ Those who build walls, those who limit solidarity to their own, those who pit one against the other to control both, those who limit civil liberties, those who deny migration rights with the weapon of law and the alibi of responsibility, these are the fascists today.
❝ There is thus a critique of the regulatory regime of various states that not only prohibit its use for therapeutic purposes but also its free trade, demonizing a substance of clear utility.
❝ In my opinion, he was the greatest athlete of all time.
❝ All myths always lead to the same destination: the stars.
All myths always lead to the same destination: the stars.
❝ "History teaches us that men and nations behave more wisely once they have exhausted all alternatives." (Abba Eban)
❝ We marched past the Blocks in perfect silence, shoulder to shoulder, like workers who have exhausted overtime. I thought: this is the body of the Twentieth Century, the field of blood, the true stone garden of the time we have lived.
❝ Art in the 21st century is primarily a matter of intersections.
❝ "The most severe despair that can take hold of a society is the doubt whether living honestly is useless"
❝ "Letters from the Sahara"does not outline a bland, benevolent fable in which the good defeat the evil persecutors of mankind.
"Letters from the Sahara"does not outline a bland, benevolent fable in which the good defeat the evil persecutors of mankind.
❝ This documentary by Roberto Faenza and Filippo Macelloni traces the saga of a character who, willingly or not, made recent history in Italy, and it does so in a way that would seem almost neutral if not for the ironic opening entrusted to the voice of his mother Rosa Bossi, where she claims that "you will never see Silvio with any woman", and especially for the ending with newspaper clippings where unfulfilled promises pour down.
❝ MOEBIUS STRIP OR KNOT:
❝ “Potatoes are money for us. Euros, dollars, Georgian lari: potatoes are everything”.
❝ Young eagle hungry for everything, irreparably wild, unripe.
❝ I must admit that, even with all the extenuating circumstances, I was somewhat disappointed.

❝ Not all that glitters is gold.
❝ Then, after reading this magnificent book, many doubts were dispelled.
❝ Anton Corbijn, renowned Dutch photographer, made his cinema debut in 2007 with "Control," a film that reflects his love for black and white photography and his deep personal connection with Joy Division.
❝ A film shot in black and white, which describes more the state of mind of a sensitive and depression-prone young man than a biography, stuck in the dead-end mood of late 1970s Greater Manchester.
❝ The film should be seen regardless, even by those who do not favor Depeche Mode.
❝ "And I saw something moving among the dead It was a little girl I took her out onto the street and asked Who are you How long have you been here I don't know she said Why are you here among the dead I asked And she said I cannot stay among the living anymore"
❝ Holding a rock music festival (like those of Woodstock and Wight at that time) in a notoriously racist and bigoted area was no easy feat.
❝ “The Day After” begins where several movies have placed the closing credits.
❝ An unmissable film for both fans of the disaster genre and for anyone who wants to open their mind and not forget that although the Cold War is over, the nuclear threat remains due to the presence of atomic weapons in the arsenals of many countries, many of which are decidedly ‘dangerous’ such as the USA, Iran, North Korea, and Israel.
❝ The paradoxes that this film stages are spectacular, without the slightest regard for the evident contradictions within the plot; one simply has to avoid asking questions and believe, as one should for any good science fiction story.
❝ Reinhold Messner “Scream of Stone - Cerro Torre, the impossible mountain”
❝ Let’s clarify one thing right away: Orson Welles was the greatest of them all.
❝ Masterpiece. You never stop learning.

❝ “a rockstar is just a person.”
❝ << When I realized it, I took a train to go anywhere else, far from those who stayed to live crawling or perhaps to fight... >> Antonio Sapio, The Platypus
❝ The Cinema that Tells Real Life.
❝ In short, folks, a true masterpiece that simply has the merit of telling a true story in the best possible way, that is, trying to adhere as much as possible to the historical and documented reality of the facts.
❝ "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.
❝ 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.
❝ Mi dispiace, ma avrei bisogno della recensione in formato HTML per poterla tradurre e mantenere i tag HTML nel risultato. Puoi inviarla di nuovo?
❝ I was truly struck by how this writer had managed to put together so much material in a way that made the book not just a long list of names and facts surrounding the Banda's activities, but through fluid writing, he connects newspaper articles with actual trial depositions.
❝ In this book, there is little to read and much to observe.
❝ "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". The P.
❝ The official aircraft cuts through a basin of high clouds.
❝ "No, damn, a documentary film, but the guy said what we’re about to see isn’t a film..."
❝ What I am about to review is one of the, not coincidentally, 7 books that compose the series published by Il Mulino on the 7 "deadly sins".
❝ "The Last Exorcism" by Daniel Stamm (2010) also presents itself as an independent and low-budget film, and the film's "documentary style" seems almost to highlight to the viewer "see what great results we achieved without a penny."
❝ Chris Marker did it, and with a skill that is nothing short of impressive.
❝ It is absurd to note how, in the vast Debaserian archive, there is not even the artist profile of Chris Marker, an author often forgotten by academies and cinephiles, yet at the same time the creator of two essential groundbreaking films: La Jetée (1962) and Sans Soleil (1982).
❝ Masao Adachi is probably the most borderline director ever to walk the earth.
Masao Adachi is probably the most borderline director ever to walk the earth.
❝ Let's be honest right away: Sorrentino, for musical choices, football and cinematic tastes, is a good son of the 80s.
❝ "Do you know what's happening out there?" "Of course, I watch television!"
❝ 1958, we are talking about post-war, in Germany. Everything is fine, and we are a great nation, "the most beautiful country to live in" as the children sing in schools.
❝ Hitting the keys, if it wasn't clear, I like it and it gives me peace.
❝ There it is, I see the votive chapel that's the signal of my arrival at Pianino; I'm on the watershed between two important valleys.

❝ "We want the world and we want it now!"
❝ It was a mind-blowing experience.
❝ In a pleasantly informal way, Rovelli tries to share his theory on white holes with us, celestial bodies that are currently purely theoretical with a very complicated functioning.
❝ A work of complex decipherment very much, perhaps too much, folded in on itself and for which I might have preferred to withhold judgment, something ultimately not possible, precisely by virtue of that affection always held for this mad anarchist, deconstructing master of all cinema and prime companion of my solitary nights.
❝ Didactic documentary of the mainstream genre from which little genius and inventiveness emerge to strike the now accustomed and settled historical styles of ours, yet it nevertheless remains enjoyable and suitable for a light evening, engagée enough, where one can once again understand how certain Italian paradoxes have occurred and might still, even more so, happen again not long from now.
❝ Piavoli answers me in a very exhaustive and somewhat obvious way, telling me that it is impossible to eternalize nature, whether it be seven years or a single evening.
❝ Devastating: that which devastates, overwhelming, destructive.
❝ Cocksucker Blues directed by Robert Frank (a significant American photographer and director, not much remembered here in Italy, who passed away a short time ago).
❝ The documentary film "Chaos Operation and the Manson Murders", made by Errol Morris, tries to spark some curiosity about those events, taking its cue from the investigative book "Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties", the result of twenty years of research by Tom O'Neill and Dan Piepenbring.

❝ Samsara by Ron Fricke, a documentary without words, only music and images, from 2011.
❝ Giulia Blasi is a writer, journalist, and radio host.
❝ Of In Cold Blood by Capote, nothing should be wasted. And along with the novel, this film is the very best bottle.
❝ there exists a gender data gap, a lack of data concerning a “minority” which, however, makes up 50% of the global population(!), women.
❝ I don't believe in multitasking, in fact, I know for sure that it doesn't exist and is a mere illusion, at best a topic for chatter at the bar.

❝ "An iconic cult movie for a disturbing but necessary work, which in just under 100 minutes, manages to strike the viewer in such a powerful and unique way that I don’t think much more needs to be said."
❝ "When you're educated like I was and like most people in this country, I assure you that no one comes to talk to you about homosexuality or, as you call it, an alternative lifestyle. As a child, you're taught that gays are weird, gays are funny, gays dress like their mother, they're afraid to fight, they're... they're a danger to children, and they only want to get into your pants. This more or less summarizes the general thought, if you really want to know the truth."
❝ I better go... I have an old friend for dinner (and this time he's buying...)!
❝ Demme skillfully uses the video footage from the concert at Massey Hall, giving the audience an idea of Neil’s immortal art, who, at 65 years, still gracefully handles his faithful instruments: the harmonica, the guitar, and the piano.
❝ There are things in life that must be preserved, protected from vandals, cared for when chipped by the offenses of time, and handed down. They are memory. Memory.
❝ Nino Russo - "The Day of the Assumption" (1977)
❝ What this film shows us is the manipulation of children.
❝ Among the many theories Odifreddi cites, two are the most interesting: quantum mechanics and Gödel’s logical theories.
❝ Because this is above all a book where stories (often enriched with curious anecdotes) are told both to “lift the veils of time” but also to entertain in a way that is not “slovenly” but elegant and philological.
❝ How did I read Odifreddi? With the curiosity of a monkey and the voracity of a hamster.
