This film and the word 'Cinema' have been synonyms for a long time while I was a kid. And probably they still are, somehow.
A little gem. Very poetic and profound. The scene at the beginning where Guerra receives a phone call from Antonioni (who wanted to say hello to Tarkovsky) made me cry. They don't make intellectuals like these three guys nowadays.
A masterpiece that reminded me of two things: 1. When it comes to aesthetics, in classic auteur cinema, there is no director like Tarkovsky 2. When it comes to art, there is no Country as rich of wonderful treasures as the one I live in
A true Disney classic.
2011, a year of Great Cinema.
The 'other' cinematic experience of the year 2011.
The best film of the 3rd Millennium so far. Unbelievable.
Just finished to re-watch, for the third time in my life. I am devastated. We will see what happens with "The Tree of Life" being released later this month, but what I feel to say at the moment is that the late Terrence Malick (1998-2005) is the close-to-perfection mix of F.W. Murnau and Stanley Kubrick. Great, great, great.
Together with the follow-up ("Il Secondo Tragico Fantozzi"), a clever and funny picture of the Italian society of the 1970s. Not to be missed.
Good film overall, it reminded me of Marco Ferreri's "Papal Audience". Nice interpretation by Michel Piccoli.
Not a masterpiece, yet surely one of the most entertaining films featuring Totò and Peppino De Filippo. A real Italian classic.
This is sooo funny! And I loved the Guy Ritchie-style editing... it is just perfect for a British comedy!
Not just the best film by Miyazaki (together with "Howl's Moving Castle"), but also one of the most beautiful animated films that I have ever seen.
Here is something that you don't see very often: a good film featuring an accurate reconstruction of mores and everyday life among the Italic populations of the northern Apennines, halfway between Charlemagne and the turn of the millennium.
Now, that's a powerful film.
They always clinch it!
After watching this, do I still worship "Apocalypse Now"? "... Probably more than ever."
Pasolini + Welles: all another generation of intellectuals!
One of the peaks of European Cinema. I can't deny that I dreamed of making a picture about the 'homeland' myself. And - even in my dreams - I couldn't conceive anything so beautiful and moving. [P.S. - No wonder that Stanley Kubrick kept a screenshot from this film right on his desk]
This was awesome.
He and Scorsese: the best American directors alive.
One of the most inventive detective-stories ever made and, also, a wonderful Italian classic. Mitico Gian Maria Volonté... grande!
I always wanted to watch this and I am still looking forward to. I just can't find it.
I was 14 the first time I watched this. I had to undergo surgery at the time and my father gave me a DVD copy as a present for me. Could you imagine? The directing, the soundtrack, Robert De Niro's state.of-the-art performance... everything amazed me! Guys, I owe a lot to this film.
One of the greatest favourites of mine. Emotional like nothing else.
Among the things that I like to see in a film there are: 'conquistadores' and oil. Now try to guess why I love Herzog so much...
A great great great Brando. Loved the fast camera moving as well...
The 20th Century Leonardo Da Vinci. What else?
Awful film featuring a fantastic soundtrack... who doesn't love the album "Discovery"?
After my 10th viewing I am still trying to figure out where did Welles (a 26-year old rising star from the American radio, at the time) get such skillfulness from. A perfect film, on every level.
