I really loved when he talked about Italian cinema. He was incredibly eloquent, pleasure to listen to and was wealth of good information. But then you look at his movies - and I am utterly unimpressed. His work is good, some perhaps even very good, but never excellent. And that separates him from great directors.This is the same impresion I get from listening to Tarantino. If only he stayed with telling movies stories! Man, I HATE his movies! The Fiction should be reshot to make it a 30 minutes film - then it would be remarkable. But I suspect what I liked in it was not what the movie was made for. Perhaps just an accident.
Follow Ups:
which you can say about many directors, which make those who are consistently good stand out even more. Another is Coppola - Although he gets high marks from me for trying to preserve a lot of Napa Valley's heritage, and makes some good wine, too. Oh, we were talking movies, right?Coppola is hit and miss, but The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, and the first two Godfathers make up a pretty good filmography.
Tarentino hasn't impressed me that much. "Pulp Fiction" is good, but that's about all I can say. Maybe we're just too old, Victor, and we don't "get" it.
I gave at the office!
Curious, you wrote down exactely what I would have....
