Lost in translation is a 2003 movie directed by Sofia Coppola starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. It presents the lives of two individuals, Charlotte and Bob, while on a trip in Japan for a brief period of time and for different reasons; they meet, they talk about life and I would say that that…

Turmoil strolling
Chaos walking is a 2021 movie with Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley and Mads Mikkelsen. It is a sci-fy film about terraforming another planet; in spite of its premises, the encounter with the autochthonous aliens of the new planet and equilibrium, or lack of it, is largely left unexplained. It chooses rather to concentrate on the…
What tears may come
What dreams may come is a 1998 movie starring Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Anabella Sciorra. It is not made to be a happy movie whatsoever; in its own way however it has a good ending. I would not want to spoil the plot too much of it so I will just outline the…
Atlantis: the not-so-lost Empire
Personal advisory note: while admittedly my appreciation for some of the more recent animated movies has decreased quite drastically and I have not lived my childhood watching the classical Disney Cartoons (or knowing by heart any of the songs), in my opinion the movie I want to explore today has passed under the radar and…
The league of literary übermensch
This article will be a pastiche of personal opinions, references and will pretty much have nothing to do with the movie it was aiming to explore; this is not professional on my behalf whatsoever but, as a mentor once taught me, I will use it as a pretext to talk about something else that I…
La leggenda degli übermensch letterari
Questo articolo sarà un pastiche di opinioni personali, riferimenti e battute e che per giunta avrà poco a che vedere con il consiglio cinematografico proposto. Non è un approccio che definirei professionale da parte mia, ma come un mentore mi insegnò una volta, userò il film come pretesto per parlare di qualcosa che mi piace….
Da binge a speed…
Molti conoscono ormai il termine inglese binge watching; un modo per consumare, o meglio ingurgitare, una serie televisiva in tempistiche relativamente brevi. Si tratta in fondo di guardare una puntata dietro l’altra, una specie di maratona, per vedere cosa succede. Riflettendoci, mi sono reso conto che con certe serie, magari in tempi morti dove la…
Niente corna
Questo articolo cercherà di fornire un resoconto su alcune delle migliori interpretazioni cinematografiche della figura di Lucifero. Come allude il titolo, verranno tuttavia considerate solamente le versioni umanizzate del così detto anticristo; verranno quindi esclusi i film con i diavoli dalle pelle rossa, dalle corna allungate e dai mezzi busti caprini. Per via di questa…
Not by the horns
This article will try to give an account of some of the best interpretations of the role of Lucifer in cinematography. As hinted through the title, it will however only consider the human version of the so-called anti-Christ; in other words, it will not be about the red-skin horned and hooved demonic version of said…
The Book of (denz)ELI
The Book of Eli is a 2010 post-apocalyptic movie featuring Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis and Gary Oldman. In my opinion, while it is not good enough to be considered a masterpiece, the plot consisting in getting a MacGuffin from point A to point B, it does however present some aspects worth writing about. This article…
