Beloved brothers!
The sharpest minds of the DeB gathered here have shed light, with their insightful and thorough interventions, on that precise and revealing analysis of “The Dark Side of the Moon” that was needed – as we heard from many sides!
I am therefore preparing to invite you to a much more challenging endeavor (but I am sure we will rise to the occasion) in one of the fields of human knowledge most beloved by true capish: cinema.
I propose that you indicate three (I know, it’s very few, but some rules must be set, and capish love difficult rules) I say 3 FUNDAMENTAL films of Italian trash (the recovery and rehabilitation of trash is a very capish topic). And explain why.
I would say let's start with Italy, then, if we feel like it, open up to global filmography.
I set the following rules:
1) No erotic-sheep-sexual-satyric films (Long Live the Seal, Giovannona coscialunga, etc. etc.) because it's too easy.
2) No Pierino films & similar (same reason).
3) Musicals are fine, but let’s avoid clichés & banality (we are capish!). In short, handle with care.
4) They must be films that are not bad (or so bad that they are, in their own way, brilliant) or excessively parodic. They should be – in short – exemplary films of the genre we believe are worth discussing.
5) I would avoid films that are too famous (The coach in the ball, Last tango in Zagarol, Piedone the cop, etc. etc.) or too professional (the films of Bud Spencer & Terence Hill, the latest Fantozzi films, cinepanettoni, etc. etc.). We are capish!
I hope this proposal is stimulating!
Over to you!
