Mafioso

One of the best movies of the year is Mafioso, actually an Italian film from 1962, directed by Alberto Lattuada and starring the one and only Alberto Sordi as a Sicilian engineer who works in Milan and who goes back to his one horse town in Sicily on vacation with his wife and daughters.

My Sentiments Exactly

I do not always agree with David Denby, film critic of the New Yorker. I sometimes think he nails it, and sometimes his taste is a bit conventional for my taste. But in this week’s issue he writes the most cogent, thoughtful and articulate essay against the new ensemble cast, multistory…

No justice. No peace.

So naive!

I just had a revelation. How could I have been so stupid?
I read this headline: “Viewer Numbers Increase a Bit for Oscar Show” and I hit an eureka! moment.
And this is it: The Academy, in all its overstuffed, greedy glory, saw that Latinos are hot this year and that Latinos are many this year and it saw Ugly…

The Lives of Others

I congratulate myself on not having read Anthony Lane’s unforgiveably garrolous review of the German movie The Lives of Others, because if had, there would have been no need to stand in the infernal lines at the Angelika and watch the film. Mr. Lane manages to tell us the entire movie, and…
