  • Youth

    Youth

    ★★★½

    so wacky. Feels like it's supposed to be Sorrentino's least polished film - was sure of that really - and then the 2nd half happens.

    Definitely meant for an older age in a way that does not apply to something like The Great Beauty; whose crisis can be felt in all its deep humanity by all ages. Certainly the very young, and the very old.

    In Youth, the audience experience feels very much like going through a selfish - though earnest - grab of attention regarding a late-life crisis (which would match the wonderful Michael Caine's leading character).

    Parthenope

    ★★★★★

    gary oldman as the fat, overboozed, melancholic self-aware hemingway-an stand in for America's role in the evolution of Naples (and international cities in general) is crazy.

    only works fully when you view each character largely as the spirit of a city, the personification of an idea, Parthenope obviously for Naples. It is not a gender analysis film, it is not a cultural critique, it is just an exploration of feelings and relationships. It is a summer in the Mediterranean. If you have been fortunate enough to have truly been immersed in that setting, that experience in your life, then this movie will hit home for you.

  • Megalopolis

    Megalopolis

    ★★★★

    Did I want to text "what the fuck" many many times? Yes. And on top of that, jesus christ. wow? ok? Rating, personally, and in here, is hard. But I think unlike the rest of Coppola's back catalogue, this will not be judged more harshly by the future than by us.

    Honestly, I loved it. It was crazy. It was often batshit crazy. It, very probably, could be better. Or time might prove it could not. But I've never seen…
