#Battle of Neretva

[retro-vintage-time]

[visplay]

Chris: The Battle of Neretva is a war film made between several countries and with several cuts of the film, some runtimes are an hour longer and the 1 hr 45 min version I saw was a very blurry, terribly edited mess so bad you could barely tell who the characters were but Yul Brynner is in it with a neat hat and he blows up a bridge but this should only be watched when restored, buildings do blow up in this and there are tanks and too many explosions, but it is a rather incoherent blurry mess, Avoid.

Monday the weather was warm and beautiful so I took a long day tour of Herzegovina – 8 am until 9 pm. There were three of us – me, a tourist from Frankfurt, and our guide from Meet Bosnia.

It’s hard to say which places were favorites because everything was exceptional. The main points included:

Konjic

The complete list of films featured on this blog’s 2022 “31 Days of Oscar” marathon

To all my followers, thank you for allowing me to present this annual marathon of Oscar-nominated films to your dashboards, as I do every year. This year, the films were grouped by decade (a different decade every day, with an emphasis on the 1927-1929/1930s through the 1970s). These thirty-one days are the most exclusive, but most accessible this blog gets during the year - and I hope you enjoyed what you saw.

What follows is the exhaustive list of all 420 (stop laughing!) short- and feature-length films featured on this blog over the last thirty-one days for the 31 Days of Oscar marathon. This number breaks the record that 2016′s marathon sent (410). But that count remains only a fraction of the 5,019 films that have been nominated for Academy Awards since 1927.

Of those 420, 53 were short films (a record for a “31 Days of Oscar” marathon on this blog). 367 were feature films.

BREAKDOWN BY DECADE 1927-1929: 7 1930s: 35 1940s: 61 1950s: 64 1960s: 57 1970s: 45 1980s: 25 1990s: 31 2000s: 31 2010s: 27 2020s: 38

Year with most representation (2021 excluded): 1962 (ten films) Median year: 1966

Time for the list. 62 Best Picture winners and the one (and only) winner for Unique and Artistic Production that I featured this year are in bold.

One of only two posters Picasso ever drew in his life is this one for Veljko Bulajic's oscar nominated "Bitka na Neretvi" (Battle of Neretva), in return he refused money and asked for 12 bottles of vine from all over Yugoslavia. The director immediately sent him the best selection of vines from Serbia, Dalmatia and Macedonia.

«Ford aveva JOHN WAYNE Sergio Leone aveva Clint Eastwood io ho Franco Nero»

(Sergio Corbucci)

Per la sua prestanza fisica e il "cipiglio da valoroso" fin dagli esordi Nero ha incarnato «una bellezza maschile molto "americana"» segnalandosi infatti all'attenzione di John Huston che gli affida il ruolo di Abele nel kolossal La Bibbia (1965), cui seguirà la notorietà definitiva raggiunta con Un tranquillo posto di campagna (1968), primo di una serie di titoli da lui interpretati nel tempo in coppia con Vanessa Redgrave.

In seguito ha interpretato numerosi film appartenenti al filone del giallo politico italiano (Il giorno della civetta, 1968; Il delitto Matteotti, 1973; Marcia trionfale, 1976; ecc.) e qualche western all'italiana (Django, 1966).

Tra i suoi migliori titoli, Querelle de Brest (1982) di Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Giornata Nera per L’ariete (1971) di Bazzoni Il giovane Toscanini (1988) di Franco Zeffirelli, Diceria dell'untore (1990) di Beppe Cino, Fratelli e sorelle (1992) di Pupi Avati, Jonathan degli orsi (1994)

Dopo essere apparso in 2012 - L'avvento del male (2001), ha recitato in diversi film sperimentali di Louis Nero, debuttando inoltre nella regia con Forever Blues (2006)

All'attività cinematografica affianca, fin dalla metà degli anni settanta, una notevole produzione televisiva che lo vede protagonista in decine di miniserie e fiction.

Nel 2012 ha un cameo in Django Unchained di Quentin Tarantino come tributo ad uno dei suoi ruoli più memorabili.
