SMILE

I liked very much. Wonderful. I wish he makes all his films in Europe. Players are super. Luckly W.A. is behind the camera.

A new excellent Manhattan comedy from W.Allen. Actually , I liked some of his works from London and Barcelona. Later I realised that I missed his intellectual Manhattan monologs. I can be getting bored soon. Better enjoy now. Forget tomorrow. Important tip; W.Allen is much better when he is just behind the camera.

In 1964, with the threat of nuclear war looming over the entire world, Stanley Kubrick spun the whole issue on its head by creating the greatest ever comment on Cold War insanity, but also one of the funniest films ever made. Taking Peter George?s novel, ?Two Hours Till Doom?, a deadly serious tale of an unauthorized attack on the Soviet Union, Kubrick originally intended to play the story straight, but changed to full-on black comedy. And you can thank your precious bodily fluids he did, for this is one of the darkest, most merciless comedies ever made.

The film runs in three concurrent strands, with the magnificent Peter Sellers playing three of the finest portrayals of military insanity. The first strand is set in a U.S military base, with General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) going crazy in the belief that the Communists are invading and so sends a wing of B-52 bombers to bombard the Soviets and so spark nuclear war. Only a British officer (Sellers) has any chance of stopping him...

The second is on board one of the bombers, piloted by a hilarious Texan called Major T.J Kong (also look out for a young James Earl Jones) and in the third the U.S President (Sellers) is desperately trying to solve the problem. The films revolves around these three scenes, with each action in one directly involving the other two. There are more memorable scenes than you can imagine, including the appearance of the title character (Sellers, again), a mad ex-Nazi scientist; the President's phone call to the Soviet leader, probably the funniest monologue of movie history; and of course the tragi-comic, unforgettable ending. It is breathtaking to watch and despite the excellence of the acting, it is indeed Kubrick's genius that makes this film tick.

the second one by COEN Brothers-1998.

The Producers is considered by many to be Mel Brooks' best. At the very least it is an admirable director's debut. Since released, it has inspired a successful Broadway play and a recent remake.

I really expected better.

Jarmusch's achievement is to riff on themes of intimacy, emptiness and disappointment in a hugely enjoyable way. Sidestepping the more pretentious trappings of earlier work , this elegant yet accessible film leaves you thinking about and feeling for its opaque characters - even if you learn little about them.
