Il Postino [1995]starring: Massimo Troisi, Philippe Noiret, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Renato Scarpa, Linda Moretti directed by: Michael Radford February 03, 2003 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema |

directed with a light and humourous touch, Il Postino conveys a powerfull message about what is to be appreciated in the world - beauty, love, passion, friendship, loyalty. Can be enjoyed on many levels , and repays rewatching after 10 years, as I have just done.
We are introduced, seductively,via Pablo Neruda's relationship with the postman/peasant, to the concept of 'metaphore'( that's the Italian, and that makes it sound more poetic ! ). Often I find poetry difficult to listen to - here , in this film, there are only a few actual poetic lines, but they are like nuggets. >>More Details |

101 Reykjavik [2001]starring: Hilmir Snær Guðnason, Victoria Abril, Hanna MarÃa Karlsdóttir, Þrúður Vilhjálmsdóttir, Baltasar Kormákur directed by: Baltasar Kormákur October 22, 2001 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema |

Reykjavik 101 is the story of twenty-something Hilmir, who still lives at home with his mother whilst enjoying, through lack of interest in anything more meaningful, a life of drinking, casual sex and social security in Europe's party city, Reykjavik. The 101 in the title refers to the central postcode of the city which Hilmir never seems to have any desire to venture beyond. Hilmir's secure little bubble is soon to be burst, however, by the arrival of his mothers news `special friend', fiery Spanish dance teacher Lola.
Having read and hugely enjoyed the book of Reykjavik 101, it is inevitable though perhaps ill-fated to compare the two. The book is much more of a slow burner, as it rambles through Hilmir's mind as he ponders the ... Read More: >>More Details |

Why use a lot of words to describe a motion picture that visualizes the subconscious? Suffice it to say that this is still David Lynch's best. An oneiric odyssey, the sort of troubling, never-ending dream one can have when suffering from a high fever, in which the most bizarre and seemingly hopeless situations nearly drive one to despair. So far, I've never seen another film evoking that sort of atmosphere so well. Strange yet familiar. Archetypal. ERASERHEAD is a unique work of art, a milestone in cinema. Don't try to understand or explain this film, open up your mind and simply undergo it, visit the dream world while being awake. An exceptional experience.

This film is an absolute gem, and certainly one of Maurizio Nichetti's best works. It works on just about every level, and his enthusiasm for film history and film-making shines from every frame. The frenetic humour and highly sophisticated wit are a joy to behold. It's definitely worth taking the time to track down.

Inferno [1980]starring: Leigh McCloskey, Irene Miracle, Eleonora Giorgi, Daria Nicolodi, Sacha Pitoëff directed by: Dario Argento October 01, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema |

My favourite Argento movie, Inferno is an elaborate and beautifully filmed nightmare, an exercise in 'pure film'. That's all it's meant to be, so forget your conditioning and move beyond the confines of 'story' and 'narrative cohesion'. Lose yourself instead in the magical universe, where the only logic is the logic of dreams and Argento's sole intention is to lead you to a state of near-permanent supernatural dread. Ignored for far too long in favour of its more famous predecessor, Inferno is a violent, hallucinatory masterpiece; a nightmare of operatic proportions; a treatise on terror; and last, but by no means least, a criminally underrated film.

This film continues the story from the first film. The main difference between this one and the last film is the artwork style, which has become more childish looking. Although annoying at first you become accustomed to it and can still thoroughly enjoy the film. There are more fights,laughs, twists, elephants and monsters in this film than in part one. Prince Arislan is still trying to defeat the Lusitanian army and their leader Silver Mask with the help of his friends and makes two more allys in this film. Although Silver Mask was seen as a power mad tyrant in the first film, Prince Arislan uncovers a sinister secret and truth about this masked man which turns his whole world upside down,is the masked man really who he says he is?
