Cannes 71: Lazzaro Felice & more

azi e ziua Presedintei, Cate Blanchett face 49 de ani. Somepeople will celebrate. Azi e si ziua a doi prieteni, nici cu ei nu celabram azi. E Spike Lee dupa o vesnicie din nou pe Crazeta, (asica 1991 cu Jungle Fever),  cu Blackkklansman. Spike e suparat si acuma ca l-a shuntat Wim Wenders in 1989 cu Do The Right Thing. Scrie la gazeta, zice la interviu.
Eu am vazut ieri revelatia festivalului, LAZZARO FELICE, si am fost felice. Am zis Palme d'Or, regie, scenariu -Alice Rohrwacher, toscana. interpretare -Adriano Tardiolo, debut. Locatie magica, Banoregio. Mi-a adus aminte un pic de Kaspar Hauser al lui Herzog, realism magic si poezie, halucinant, alegoia cu lupul (Ted-no CGI :), aplauze cum n-am vazut decit rar in Cannes, la proiectia oficiala, gen 15 minute-Agnes Varda le facea poze, Benigni ridea in spate-Nicoletta Braschi-nevasta-sa are un rol minunat in film,. Sergi Lopez emotionat, Alba  Rohrwacher-sora regiozarei (I am Love) actorii plingeau !
indiewire review here

 ..a suivre...

Cannes 71: Cold War / Zimna Wojna

premier film vu-
COLD WAR  / Zimna Wojna de Pawel Pawlikovs (Ida)
-chef-doeuvre de film d'amour .... amour maudit....in black and white, and more black than white :(,  supermastered in the technical aspect, music, design and the period-age look (a span of 15 years, from 1949 to 1964 and five countries). Very dense (& tense) at 1h24min, the shortest film of the Official Competition this Cannes :)
you'll hear a lot about this film ...a classic !

R.Lee Ermey RIP

-This not even my desk-
this is the best line of R. Lee  (Ronald Lee , aka The Gunny) -from Seven (1996).
More than his rant in Full Metal Jacket (1987) which made him in-famous.
I put him in my Top Ten of Sargents. He spoofed his part in Peter Jackson¸s The Frighteners (1996) and in Toy Story. Former millitary man he began his film careeer in Apocalypse Now (1979) as a helicopter pilot. He served also as technical advisor. for F.F. Coppola
-.....always three they are.:(..now this triangle is Milos Forman, Vittorio Taviani and R. Lee Ermey. He was 74.
