The Devils 1971
The Devils by Ken Russell is one of the few films that continues to surprise me with each viewing. During my most recent rewatch at the beautiful Art Deco the Garden Cinema in Holborn, I experienced the UK cut of the film (unfortunately, censored). Even in this altered version, plenty of scenes are still shocking today. I have always been impressed by Vanessa Redgrave's intense performance as Sister Jeanne, as well as the striking costumes, grotesque make-up, and the remarkable…

Infinity Pool 2023
This is a moment for which it seems like Cinema (of course not the mainstream, but the arthouse and authorial one) seems going back to a tendency that was typical of a particular 70s, focusing on social aspects that deal with classes division, bourgeoise, richness, vice and lush: La Grande Bouffe by Marco Ferreri, but also Buñuel and Pasolini.
European approaches are resumed nowadays in works like Ostlund's Triangle of Sadness and the renowned TV show The White Lotus. Infinity…Translated from by

Its vignette-like structure doesn't pay off the central core; however, some stylistic choices (such as the stop-motion animations of the infected animals she starts feeding of) are delightful gimmicks.

Manticore 2022
Little Spanish film that deals with the controversial topic of paraphilia, playing with it subtly and without visually disclosing too much of the subject.
Julian and Diana are differently twisted figures who, to the audience, seem just two normal twenty-something young, good-looking individuals; it's intriguing to analyze how anybody, also the most unexpected, could hide the darkest secrets. There are some nailed narrative choices: Diana's innocent, tomboy appearance (so appealing to Julian), the use of the mythological animal as a…Translated from by -
The Sadness 2021
Ah, Canadian directors always have that spark of insanity that brings them to this kind of fucked up films! This happens with The Sadness, Taiwanese by production and setting but with heart and brain in Canada as there's Rob Jabbaz behind the script.
About the story, there's not much to talk about, if not to point out that it is the umpteenth zombie flick with a focus on some recent pandemic aspects such as the misleading of the socials and…
