| La Guerre du Feu (Quest for Fire) (The War of Fire) - R |
80.000 Years ago, at the dawn of mankind, prehistorical men knew how to preserve accidental fire, but didn't master at all the technique to set fire them selves. At those cruel and raw days, fire ensured the survival of the human race. Tribes assembled close to a fireplace to benefit its strength and shelter. Tribes that possessed fire were protected, as if they possessed life itself.
La Guerre du Feu (Quest for Fire) may be a monotonous and annoying movie for those who aren't interested to this prehistorically matters. However, those who take interest at the reason's flourishing and at the growth of technologies will enjoy the movie. La Guerre du Feu is the movie that better shows us the prehistorical age in all his realism and rawness... Brilliant! A Jean Jacques Annaud's masterpiece... |

| Apocalypse Now - R |
This movie is far from being simply another war movie. Such a film had never been done before. Trough the madness of Vietnam-war, Coppola offers an overwhelming vision of the most deep and gloomy traces of human soul.
Apocalypse Now is a remarkable tale of one man seeking for another man, maybe even seeking him self in his deepness. The main stream that passes over this movie is the ambiguity of lucid clearheaded Americans in the search of an insane lunatic man, or maybe on the contrary insane lunatic Americans searching for a clearheaded man. This masterpiece shows indeed how deeply a war can injure mankind. All the characters playing this battle seem to be suffering from a general insanity, caused by multiple reasons: the fact of being so far away from home; living so close to blood-insatiable men; being, by the stress of circumstances, forced to kill innocent, unknown people and at least but not least, witnessing the death of comrades and friends. Apocalypse Now is a conspicuous movie, since the narration of the facts is so cruel and psicochotic, that allows the spectator to feel the pain, the sorrow and the estranged trauma of those soldiers fighting so far away from home a non-sense war. Several scenes are remarkable, some of them I point out: the soldiers surfing while the bombardment; the final scene, in which a slaughter of an ox is shown parallelly to the murder of Colonel Walter Kurtz. However I elect the surfing-bombardment scene as the most wonderful in the film history. The assault to the village having as sound track Wagner's Walkürenritt (The Ride of the Valkyries) is also a masterly, prodigious scene. Martin Sheen plays in this film - after my view - the best role of his career; Dennis Hopper has a good interpretation and Robert Duvall plays a phenomenal role as Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore. On the contrary, Marlon Brando is not in a good shape, being his interpretation much weaker then others of his career. All the aspects of the direction and production of this film are amazing. The sound track is magisterial: Absolutely brilliant the choice of The End (Doors) at the very beginning; I can't get no satisfaction (Rolling Stones) during a break of the 'ship's solder crew', and, as already mentioned, Wagner's The Ride of the Valkyries during the village assault. (One can imagine that helicopters were invented to fly on Wagner's music). How can such a movie loose the Oscar? (That year the Oscar went to Robert Benton's (Kramer vs. Kramer ) Apocalypse Now is a memorial film, hypnotic, apocalyptic, brilliant... |

| Scent of a Woman - R |
Travel, women, good food, fine wine, the tango, chauffeured limousines and a loaded forty-five, UAAAUUU. Frank Slade is embarking on his ideal Thanksgiving weekend: a first-class flight to New York; a room at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel; dining at expensive restaurants; a personal limousine; a beautiful woman; a bullet in the head. Frank's weekend is the centerpiece of Scent of a Woman, an overlong but involving drama.
Scent of a Woman is a remake, a movie made by Dino Risi in 1974, Profumo di Donna, in which Vittorio Gassman played one of his best known roles. In this movie, Pacino gives a fabulous performance and if you like good acting, this is one movie you shouldn't miss. There are numerous dynamic scenes in Scent of a Woman, but for me, the best is Pacino's tango scene with Gabrielle Anwar is one such magical moment, unfettered, unforced, and highly enjoyable. |
