What a delightful way to spend your 98 minutes! Not a great masterpiece, but manages to offer so many things in such a well designed package, that it becomes a treat for very diverse groups of viewers - that is a rare accomplishment indeed.So get it, and no matter where your tastes lie I suspect you will no regret.
That includes you, Patrick, too! How many times can you watch the "Roma"? Have you seen the Roma?
Follow Ups:
For hi fi buffs, the sound quality in the movie is really very good, with outstanding mic-ing of dinner scenes with gobs of ambiance; incidental music in the flick is also interesting, having a poignant, triste quality.
.
nope
Roma? Of course, I think I saw all the Fellinis when the got out, in fact the only one I did not like ( I may have been to young ) was 8 1/2..I should have another look at it..maybe..what do you think of it? Certainly all of him are more than one viewing worth!
Mafia films...not really my speciality...should I really get Dinner Rush?
Roma is beautiful in its one-swoop presentation... people talk about Sokurov's Russian Ark as being something fundamentally new, with no editing... yes, but that was *technical* side, in Fellini's case the clean progression is emotional, which is much harder to maintain. Sokurov's film stumbled emotionally all the time, just to make sure the tape didn't have to be stopped.Dinner Rush is not really a mafia film, it is a film about people. There are enough points of interest, fun and astute observations and good characters and dialogues to make it worth while, but I would not go through great difficulty getting it. If I could easily rent it - I would.
So I just ordered " Dinner rush " through Amazon UK and " What happened was.." with Amazon US....two weeks and they will be mine.
Russian Ark..still have to see it, it is taped and ready to look at...Tonight it will be Fellini´s Nights of Calabria....
Hitch´s " The Rope " fall in this category too...it may be a " a tour de force " and may flattering the ego of the director but I do not see the more quality for me as a viewer, maybe quite the contrary...What do you think?
Rome, ville ouverte, is a terrible film for every conscience, one who because of my background ( father at war ) is very hard to see, beside it´s obvious pure genius..and " La Magnani " pared with a touch of existentialism a la Sartre.
Roma I must have seen it in the late 50´or early 60´s, at the French communist party in Nice where I received every years toys and had a film or two to enjoy.. At their theater, that is where I first saw " Nuit et Brouillard " ...But that is another story...
I hope "What Happened Was..." comes through for you, as it is possible it will lose too much in translation - Tom's acting is very good and very subtle there, and you must pay attention to how he pronounces words, not just their meaning, that becomes big part of the movie, so even as you are reading the subs, try to pay attention to his face and the inflections of his voice - as he plays a very frigile character, and that fragile nature is hard to convey, of course. In several spots HOW it was pronouced was more important than WHAT. He is quite good there.
"in several spots HOW it was pronouced was more important than WHAT. "
Like in " real life ? "
I will!
