Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta, and Joseph Bono in GoodFellas (Martin Scorsese, 1990)

Cast: Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco, Christopher Serrone, Paul Sorvino, Frank Sivero, Tony Darrow, Mike Starr, Frank Vincent. Screenplay: NIcholas Pileggi, Martin Scorsese, based on a book by Pileggi. Cinematography: Michael Ballhaus. Production design: Kristi Zea. Film editing: James Y. Kwei, Thelma Schoonmaker. 

When the best picture and best director Oscars for 1990 went to Dances With Wolves and Kevin Costner, many saw it as a gaffe by the Academy, if not a downright snub of Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas. I actually remember enjoying Dances With Wolves a great deal. I liked the performances by Costner, Mary McDonnell, Graham Greene, and Wes Studi, appreciated the attempt to see things from the point of view of Native Americans, and found the buffalo stampede thrilling. But I haven't seen it again for many years, and don't really have much interest in doing so, There are people who say that the real test of a movie is whether you want to see it again, because each time you watch it, you either see it differently or get a sense of why you liked it the first time. In the latter case, there's a great pleasure in hearing the dialogue in a movie like Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1943) fall into its accustomed place each time you revisit it. But GoodFellas seems to me to fill both categories: You anticipate the "What do you mean, I'm funny?" exchange between Tommy (Joe Pesci) and Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), while at the same time you see something new in the way scenes are staged or filmed or edited. I will have to say that the Academy's choice this time doesn't seem so egregious to me as does its choice of Ordinary People (Robert Redford, 1980) over Raging Bull (Scorsese, 1980). GoodFellas can be just a little too clever and showy for its own good. Consider the dazzling tracking shot as Henry and Karen (Lorraine Bracco) enter the Copacabana via the cellars and kitchens, or the fast-paced editing in the climactic scene when the paranoid Henry is dashing around town, keeping an eye on the helicopter above. On a repeat viewing, both scenes maybe draw a little more attention to film technique than is good for narrative coherence. But these are quibbles. GoodFellas won exactly one Oscar, for Joe Pesci's hair-trigger performance. Lorraine Bracco lost to Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost (Jerry Zucker), the adapted screenplay award went to Michael Blake for Dances With Wolves instead of to Nicholas Pileggi and Scorsese, and Thelma Schoonmaker lost the editing Oscar to Neil Travis for Dances. And Ray Liotta's exceptional performance went completely unnominated.

The video for "Beautiful Red Dress," from Laurie Anderson's 1989 album, Strange Angels, is now on YouTube. She says: "It was a blast to do a dance video and play a waitress. It’s a little corny now but I still like the message. And almost forty years later women still don’t have anything like equal rights. And can you believe the ERA has still not passed?"

Directed by Kristi Zea. Filmed at CBGB, New York City.

Laurie Anderson's new album, Amelia, is out next Friday.

Stasera su #Italiauno #TheDeparted con cui Scorsese ha creato un nuovo classico dell'american crime, per quanto sia il remake di Infernal Affairs (2002), offrendo una rivisitazione elettrizzante in cui dimostra ancora una volta di essere il maestro della hurban narrative. Tutto è solido come una roccia: dallo script alle prove degli attori che vanno dritti verso il limite ma senza mai superarlo, attraverso una storia in cui la tensione aumenta di pari passo con la posta emotiva in gioco. In questo scenario l'illuminazione "ambigua" di Michael Ballhaus, i set "atmosferici" di Kristi Zea e il montaggio ritmico di Thelma Schoonmaker contribuiscono a portarci nel cuore dell'oscurità urbana. 4 premi Oscar (miglior film, miglior regia, miglior montaggio, miglior adattamento). Curiosità: Jack Nicholson è stata la seconda scelta del regista. Per il ruolo di Costello Scorsese voleva Al Pacino che però rifiutò. Inoltre è la terza volta che Martin usa all'interno della pellicola Gimme Shelter dei Rolling Stones dopo averla già utilizzata nei cult Quei bravi ragazzi e Casinò https://www.instagram.com/p/ByX-S80oHhU/?igshid=amdc6qbmqm3y
