Hawks and Veidt for Cinema Ritrovato 25th Year
Bologna’s Cinema Ritrovato, the world major appointment for restored cinema, is coming back with its 25th edition and a rich program from the 25th of June 2011 to July 2nd. This year a 5th screen (Cinema Marconi) will be added to the 4 already running the program. Just to make the more difficult choosing [...] -
Lonely Hearts | 1982
Shot in Melbourne mainly in interiors the film is a city story with little urban flavor. It is a study of two people that has lived inside themselves most of their lives. Patricia (Wendy Hughes) under the shadowing figures of her parents and Peter (Norman Keye) looking after his mother. The enclosed spaces are a [...] -
Review – Luca Guadagnino’s “Io sono l’amore” (“I Am Love”)
(3.5/5) Luca Guadagnino’s “Io sono l’amore” (“I Am Love”) (2009), up to now, is the only Italian feature released in Australian film theatres this year. UK actresses Tilda Swinton is the main star and producer of the film, which has proven to be a drawing card. The film’s captivating imagery, however, proves better than its [...] -
Review – Roman Polanski’s “The Ghost Writer”
Adapted from Robert Harris’ novel ‘The Ghost’, Roman Polanski’s brooding mystery/drama/thriller ‘The Ghost Writer’ (2010) succeeds for a number of reasons. -
Review – Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables”
One word comes to mind when I think of Sylvester Stallone’s most recent feature ‘The Expendables’ (2010): hysterical. The narrative focuses on a group of hyper-masculine mercenaries that work together to take down General Garza, the dictator of an impoverished, small South American island. -
Review – Christopher Nolan’s “Inception”
Christopher Nolan’s most recent flick ‘Inception’ (2010) is a problematic one. The narrative’s brooding, dystopian mise en scene reminds audiences of Nolan’s visual trademark: chaotic darkness. The film is celebratory in the way that it reminds us of his fascination with – and frequent interest in – neo-noir aesthetics and traumatised characterisation. The film, however, is [...] -
Astor Theatre Film Festival Review – Preview of Luc Besson’s “The Professional”
*WARNING: contains spoilers* Tonight, Astor Theatre is retelling the story of a wandering assassin. Leon (brilliantly played by Jean Reno) befriends Mathilda (melancholically portrayed by Natalie Portman), a neglected girl whose parents have been killed by Stansfield (Gary Oldman): a crazed, corrupt law enforcer from whom they have stolen drugs. After her parents are killed, [...] -
Astor Theatre Film Festival Review – Preview of Martin Scorsese’s “GoodFellas”
This coming Monday night, on the 7th of June, Astor Theatre is celebrating Martin Scorsese’s brilliant mafia-drama ‘GoodFellas’ (1990). Still, after 20 years, the film stands strong as a beautiful study of Italian-American criminal dynasties and how they rise and fall over time. -
Astor Theatre Film Festival Review – Preview of John Huston’s “The Misfits” and John Schlesinger’s “Midnight Cowboy”
This coming Monday, the 24th of May, Astor Theatre is engaging with lonely subject matter. John Huston’s “The Misfits” (1961) and John Schlesinger’s “Midnight Cowboy” (1969) both use the loneliness of the Western film genre and its cowboy archetype to discuss sexuality, landscape, alienation and the art of drifting aimlessly. Their experimentation with genre still [...] -
Review – Fatih Akin’s “Soul Kitchen”
(2/5) From the director of “Head On” and “The Edge of Heaven” I was expecting something less obvious than “Soul Kitchen”. The film is a gallery of ethnic stereotypes with a German twist. German-Greek mate Zinos, coming from the lower part of town and with a brother freshly paroling out of prison, has a bottom [...]
