Her Job review
Posted : 1 year ago on 12 May 2023 03:15 (A review of Her Job)(MU) Not too dirty greek realism, opposite to its new wave, with a too shy woman, that makes uneasy to believe her behavious in some scenes...

Volevo nascondermi review
Posted : 1 year ago on 12 May 2023 03:10 (A review of Volevo nascondermi)(MU) Great composition and set design, and great work of Elio Germano in front of the empty canvases, normalizing his psychopaties and victimization; all that overcomes its narrative flaws

The Spider's Stratagem (1970) review
Posted : 1 year ago on 12 May 2023 03:04 (A review of The Spider's Stratagem (1970))(OK) When Bertolucci maybe was affected by other authors tendencies, but made them own. Brogi is fascinated by his father's character and Alida Valli is so mysterious and sexy and unpredictable....(lousy copy, can't appreciate Storaro's wonderful natural light as in the fist time I saw it)...

Magari (If Only) review
Posted : 1 year ago on 7 May 2023 01:49 (A review of Magari (If Only))(MU) Nice not so ambitious opera prima, nostalgic of a disfunctional family, with new bonds, or precarious bonds looking better than they are to the boys, a denial of the usual fatalist coming of age films...

Woodstock review
Posted : 1 year ago on 7 May 2023 01:45 (A review of Woodstock)(OK) The huge director's cut has no waste. Even the interview of the man cleaning the sewers is great or the boys calling therir families in booth, the liberation of an accidental moving city in a disaster area; and, the excellence of many numbers knowing they are history:Cocker, Baez, the first one by RitchieHavens, Joplin, Hendriz is sad an eh end, Sly and "Higher" is great.....
