In Reply to: "I Vitelloni"... it's hard to get more poetic than this posted by Victor Khomenko on January 27, 2004 at 20:02:45:
I will certainly not waste your & my time for making a typo of this film.. it has been made 10.000 times.
But quite a few remarks : This film is incredibly modern, the photographies has aged ( save one scene in the car accident ), the soundtrack more so, the actorīs playing too.
BUT the spirit in it has not take only one wrinkle. Not one. I am baffle at his modernism!
If you look at Gosford Park ( a film not without charms, think only of Smith..) is pale compare to it.
Somehow it reminds me of Danteīs " Divine Comedie ".
Donīt ask me why.
Critrion has donne the definitive job I think, As good as it could with the original for ever been destroyed in a Paris bombing ( WHY... WHY must it be this film? ) in the last war.
I will explore it all, later.
Follow Ups:
I presume you mean it aged well - the word "well" is missing from the sentence, but your reaction obviously suggests enthusiasm.I tried to watch the Gosford Park several time - for some reason one of the cable channels has been showing it almost continuously - but never could get into its spirit, so dropped out each time.
I will be bying the Rules DVD shortly.
No, the physical quality of the picture has aged and the camera is relatively stativ ( not really inventive oppose to, say Murnau or Lang or Orsonīs )
Gosford is a failure but a good..one. All turn wrong with the entrance of the inspector ( Fry ) not because of him, but of the script.
It could have been a masterpiece..Too bad for us!
Yes, every one should get this film.
