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.

I sat in an unmarked grove, lifeless fruits and dismembered blossoms mocked me, and I kissed ‘revolution.’ She was the dirt, the air, and the fire in my soles. “I want you to dig and dig until you find an explosion in yourself as if the sun’s time has come,” she whispered with curled lips against the floor of my neck that turned to fists. “Then, as your sweat marches toward a creek, hoping tears can offer a victory lap - dig even further….Only then will you have my love.”
THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS | Dir. Gillo Pontecorvo (‘66)

Film noirs when they cast men who were the pretty boys of the 1930s: what if we fuck him up
#cherry says#lady in the lake is not a good movie nor do i think the pov perspective contributes well to it in general#considering a lot of the acting is not very good and i think in another film it wouldve pulled off better#especially since the pov perspective is already a challenge since it questions the general connection#between audience and the story but i do think it fits for a phillip marlowe movie since many of the novels are in his pov#ANYWAYS i confused him and robert taylor robert taylor was the creepo robert MONTGOMERY however just faded away#even with the use of noir unlike another 30s actor who was in film noirs#i think bc in general dick Powell wasnt seen as the pretty boy in the 30s his face is more like average mf on the street#who happens to have a slight twinkle of the eye and a good smile for musicals#but by 1944 his face was looking more gritty that noirs loved or as Mitchum said in 1971 France#that particular time they werent exactly looking for pretty leading men#anyways their attempts to make Robert Taylor himself into noirs do NOT work for me they dont fuck him up enough#AT ALL sometimes when they fuck him up theyre like give him ..... scruff! neat little line of blood!#also in accordance to a review here hes too plastic for a film noir thank goodness his creepo ass didn't survive too long anyway#oh italian neorealism u really did change global filmmaking forever huh even for Americans

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.

Deported (1950)
"Signor Smith, do all of you Americans treat women so, uh... so directly?"
"I wouldn't know. Maybe."
"But why? Have you so little time to spare?"
#deported#1950#film noir#american cinema#robert buckner#lionel shapiro#robert siodmak#jeff chandler#märta torén#claude dauphin#marina berti#richard rober#silvio minciotti#carlo rizzo#mimi aguglia#adriano ambrogi#michael tor#erminio spalla#dino nardi#guido celano#walter scharf#Indicator included this in their first Universal Noir box set but truthfully this barely qualifies as film noir; actually after a typically#hardboiled opening full of sharp dialogue and fistfights‚ this settles into something that's spiritually much closer to a romantic comedy#as Chandler's fish out of water (a low level mobster deported from the US back to the Italian village he hasn't seen since he was a small#child) falls for a local widow and must learn to temper his coarser instincts to find his inner kindness to win her heart. it's not by any#means an impressive piece of filmmaking or a highly original idea or even a very good script. what it IS is weirdly very very sweet: I got#truly invested in Chandler and Torén's burgeoning relationship‚ was rooting for them to work it out and for him to leave his shady past#behind. there is a little more crime film to the story (Jeff has to work out how to get his ill gotten gains into the country without#drawing unwanted attention) but for me that very much took a backseat to the real story of awkward lovers attempting to break down their#self imposed walls of security and make an honest open go of it together. very cute! i liked it!
