SUBLIME CINEMA #680 - THE CONFORMIST

Easily one of the best photographed movies of all time. Vittorio Storaro's work here is peak, there's a tremendous command of light and shadow, stately images that are so precise that each frame of the movie could be hung on a wall.

I always thought the movie "That's my boy" was a bit autobiographical for Jerry. A narcissistic father who wanted to control his son but without truly loving him since he loved himself more. The son full of complexes and emotional problems caused by that emotionally absent father. Jerry and his father. And I've always thought that everything Jerry was in his life was a consequence of that atrocious loneliness he felt as a child. The real Joseph/Jerome is this. Jerry was his theatrical mask. His double. Comedy and tragedy. The fascinating complexity of a man who makes me wonder if he was ever truly happy apart from the ten years of the Martin & Lewis period.

Your vigilance as an artist is an amorous vigilance, a vigilance of desire.

SUBLIME CINEMA #671 - LA DOLCE VITA

This film was to cinema what Miles Davis' Kind of Blue was for music; it went beyond just radiating coolness, and it simply set the standard for exotic cool. This movie came along the same year as Breathless, and there was no turning back afterwards. It would take Hollywood a good ten years to catch up.

Technically it's still perfect. Beautifully shot with a leering, sweeping camera that feels more like a ride through a Roman fairy tale than a movie, and it's full of imagery and performances that are now iconic.
