The Sisters Brothers. Day 30.

Roberto Minervini and Luca Guadagnini on the red carpet and receive critical acclaim, we liked the French western THE SISTERS BROTHERS JACQUES AUDIARD

In Competition VENEZIA 75 He has charmed the French JACQUES AUDIARD us that presents a western on THE SISTERS BROTHERS. Sure interpreters are valuable, and dutifully we cite Joaquin Phoenix, John C. Reilly, Jake Gyllenhaal e Riz Ahmed. But what makes the difference, plus a good direction is the script that takes us by the hand to the development of America as we know it. Unlike the Coen brothers' film, Here empathy between brothers (The Sisters Brothers) even if they live by the killer he takes over and shows us how it has developed America by early settlers who did not know even the existence of the toothbrush, the toilet and the water in the bath. In the beginning was the sustenance of a cash bounty on not only criminals but also to those who may hampered the business of the powers that be. Marvelous the final scene that will not tell!

The pluricandidato to Luca Guadagnino awards he has experimented on a text of the master of horror Dario Argento rediscovering the Masterpiece SUSPIRIA Original with a remake where Dakota Johnson shows his artistic growth. The film has been challenged, but the language that uses Guadagnino transcends the horror encroaching into genres that are more congenial. Even in this film that exceeds two hours, the pace has fluctuations that force the viewer to huge labors. So this is the limit of a story that can establish itself in the imagery of forcing a final room that wants at all costs to close the circle but he failed.

From Britain a civil commitment films MIKE LEIGH with that Peterloo He tells a historical phase of the island after the victory over Waterloo by Napoleon's war machine. It 'a period of economic and social recession resulted in the massacre by the army during a demonstration said exactly Peterloo. The formalism used evokes a more appropriate language to a series and also in this case the viewer is forced to remain for 154 minutes to witness the unfolding of the script. ’

It was long awaited the return of ROBERTO MINERVINI after the success of the trilogy on America knows him very well because we live. And in fact the expectations of the new film WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WORLD’S ON FIRE? as they are wrecked scenes followed each showing a dark side of American blacks. It 'true that after 200 years of racism in America the black population is a powder keg that can explode dormant after the lesson of Donald Trump as President, But there must be a middle ground. A lot did not like, but perhaps the reality is exactly the one described by Minervini and so we should think about it.

 

Finally, another French film DAVID Oelhoffen posing with BROTHERS ENEMIES a thriller adapted to our times where good and bad are intermingled as happens in the new globalized Parisian suburbs. In short, a mediocre product adapted to modern times.

To the critics and the public the provisional results confirmed the Mexican Cuaron in first place followed by French film The Sisters Brothers that clearly exceed the Coen brothers, They are unexpectedly overtaken by Damien Chazelle and his The First Man, film that inaugurated the Show.

It 'was very interesting OUT OF COMPETITION SPECIAL EVENT documentary on the genesis of the unfinished film by Orson Wells in THEY’LL LOVE ME WHEN I’M DEAD American MORGAN NEVILLE USA. In this regard we mention that in the Venice Classics section has been submitted version of The Other Side of the Wind by mounting material left to us by the Master.

Always OUT OF COMPETITION SPECIAL SCREENINGS between the first two episodes written by SAVERIO COSTANZO Series GIRLFRIEND BRILLIANT. A portrait of the Neapolitan popular postwar neighborhoods where elementary school classes were divided by gender. Even then the craftsman and the shopkeeper had to deal with the loan shark and shift thug. In this environment it develops the friendship between two girls thanks to the narrator of one of them.

Instead we were unable to see ANGELA'S DIARY - NOI DUE FILMMAKERS of Yervant Gianikian and Argentine FICTION OUT OF COMPETITION THE Quietud by Pablo Trapero. Of the latter the rumors of Lido show the thumbs down.

Let us finally to the section HORIZONS where once again an Israeli film has amazed us. It is TEL AVIV ON FIRE di SAMEH ZOABI. The title was inspired by a widely read Palestinian TV series from the two parts divided by the new wall of Jerusalem. The protagonist, commuter between Ramallah and the Israeli area, It has a precarious job as a production assistant Series. Some circumstances portaano the forefront of the production with the help of an Israeli guard. It is a scathing critique of both parties. The question that arises is: But the populations of the opposing factions have agreed with their representatives? We hope that at least take the prize for best screenplay in the Horizons section.

Anthat Turkey an important film for the style and content: ANNOUNCEMENT (THE ANNOUNCEMENT) Mahmut Coskun FAZIL try to rebuild one of the many coups failed in the West's eastern gate. The coup leaders must announce on the radio the happened coup, but something does not go your way and find themselves wandering the streets of Istanbul in search of the Radio Technical imbastendo a grotesque plot on the future. What is certain is that the director has not been able to expose that much and it's understandable with the current political situation and this extends warmly thanked.

Continuing the theme of dictatorships Spanish ÁLVARO Brechner reconstructs THE NIGHT OF 12 YEARS a dark period Uruguay, when the thinking head of the Tupamaros was decimated (1972) and reduced to a hostage of the military government. The stand ovation that followed is obviously political in nature, but to understand the period we find solace Kusturica with his doc on the penultimate President Uruguayan who was one of the dictatorship ostataggi.

Unfortunately we can not refer to CHARLIE SAYS Mary Harron's which is the most famous C. Mason author of a mass suicide and murder of Sharon's wife Polansky director
