Greetings

Henri de Corinth

De Palma's preoccupation with surveillance begins in part here with characters' conspiracy theories and love of Antonioni's Blow-Up. Otherwise a mostly-dull counterculture hangout movie.

Insufferable, borderline unwatchable early film from a man otherwise incapable of making unwatchable films. Draft dodgers, JFK conspiracy buffs and free lovers all appear, though to little effect in my mind. The mood is zany, it feels heavily improvised which is usually excruciating when done poorly, like here. Not uncharacteristic, with peeping tom De Niro being quite De Palma.

un bon film de potes sur fond de guerre du vietnam. un des premiers rôles de De Niro..!

This is some great early DeNiro and in a comedic role too. It just proves that DeNiro can do anything and make it look great.

Genial filme. De Palma junta a tres personajes particulares: un hombre obsesionado con la muerte de JFK, un vouyerista empedernido y otro en busca de una novia por correspondencia. Tres fetichistas que generan una sátira como respuesta a los cuestionamientos morales de entonces. "Greetings" es además una suerte de homenaje a directores como Hitchcock, Antonioni y el cine mismo. El cine como esa ventana a lo privado.

Un esordio alla regia decisamente particolare.Con un budget ridicolo,De Palma dirige una commedia satirica sulle paranoie americane durante il periodo del Vietnam.Lavoro originale,chiaramente scritto e diretto in maniera molto acerba,che però dà la sensazione di gettare le basi per il futuro di un regista degno di nota.Anche un De Niro d'annata merita la visione,e fà sempre piacere.

Has some really funny moments (my favorites is De Niro directing the girl on going to sleep) but could be pretty boring and drag on. Robert De Niro of course is great, but I felt the guy obsessed with the JFK assassination was good and funny too. Sometimes its seemed political intentions bothered me. Overall, it's a fascinating historical document of its time, but an ok movie.
