Nightmare City (1980)

Nightmare City is a schlocky classic that Umberto Lenzi handles beautifully with gore, sleaze and just a little fear-mongering.

A ★★★★ review of Sorcerer (1977)

Vier Männer auf der Flucht vor ihrer Schuld, vor der Rechenschaft, die sie schuldig sein – und der einzige Weg, der sich ihnen offenbart, führt direkt in die Hölle. Dort wartet der metaphorische Scharfrichter auf sie, der sie nicht wieder entkommen lässt, sondern sie mit ihrer eigenen Schuld und einer viel größeren, allumfassenden (neo-)kolonialen Schuld konfrontiert. Dabei geraten die vier in die erbarmungslose Mangel der Systeme, deren Teil sie zuvor waren: organisierte Kriminalität, Terrorismus und kapitalistische Großkonzerne, die ein Entwicklungsland nach dem anderen ausbeuten. Die vier glauben, sich Stück für Stück aus diesem Moloch wieder herausgraben zu können. Nur noch

Vier Männer auf der Flucht vor ihrer Schuld, vor der Rechenschaft, die sie schuldig sein – und der einzige Weg, der sich ihnen offenbart, führt direkt in die Hölle. Dort wartet der metaphorische Scharfrichter auf sie, der sie nicht wieder entkommen lässt, sondern sie mit ihrer eigenen Schuld und einer viel größeren, allumfassenden (neo-)kolonialen Schuld konfrontiert.

Dabei geraten die vier in die erbarmungslose Mangel der Systeme, deren Teil sie zuvor waren: organisierte Kriminalität, Terrorismus und kapitalistische Großkonzerne, die ein Entwicklungsland nach dem anderen ausbeuten.

Die vier glauben, sich Stück für Stück aus diesem Moloch wieder herausgraben zu können. Nur noch über diese Brücke, nur noch diesen umgefallenen Baum aus dem Weg räumen, nur noch um die nächste Kurve, dann rückt die Erlösung in greifbare Nähe. Aber mit jeder Brücke, mit jedem aus dem Weg geräumten Hindernis, mit jeder genommenen Kurve rutschen sie Höllenkreis um Höllenkreis in die Tiefe.

Am Ende bleibt nur: das ewige Fegefeuer.

★★★★☆

The image you've provided appears to be a split screen comparison of two different scenes from the same film. On the left side, there is a scene where a man is sitting at a table with his legs crossed, and he seems to be in a serious or contemplative mood as he looks off into the distance with a cigarette between his fingers. There are other people in the background, but the main focus is on this central figure.

On the right side of the split screen, there's another scene where a group of men and women are gathered around a table in what seems to be a more relaxed or social setting. A man in the foreground is playing a guitar while the others listen attentively or engage in conversation. The mood appears to be more casual and convivial compared to the solitary contemplation of the figure on the left.

The image seems to contrast two different moments from the same film, highlighting the range of emotions and interactions within the narrative.

This image appears to be a still from a film, capturing a group of people in what looks like a social setting, possibly a bar or a casual gathering place. The individuals are dressed in styles typical of the 1960s or early 1970s, suggesting that the film is set during this time period. They seem to be engaged in conversation and enjoying each other's company.

There are several distinct characters: one man appears to be the center of attention, as he is being applauded by another person standing slightly behind him. The others around them appear to be reacting to what is happening, with some people clapping and others watching intently. Some individuals are seated on a bench that spans the width of the image, while others stand, contributing to a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The setting includes bottles, which could suggest that alcohol is being served. The lighting in the scene has a warm tone, enhancing the convivial mood of the gathering. The overall composition suggests an informal social event, possibly part of a narrative where this group of characters interacts with one another.

In the middle of the image, there is a man and a woman sitting on a couch. The woman is wearing a black dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. She is leaning back on the couch with her hands behind her head, looking relaxed. The man is sitting next to her, wearing a black suit and a bow tie. He is leaning forward, with his elbows on his knees and his chin resting on his hands. He looks intense and serious. There is a vase with flowers on the table in front of them. On the left side of the image, there is a window with a view of a cityscape. The curtains are open, and the sunlight is shining through, casting a warm glow on the scene. On the right side of the image, there is a bookshelf filled with books. The books are stacked horizontally and vertically, and some of them are lying open as if they have been recently read. There is also a small statue of a bird on the bookshelf. The background of the image is a warm beige color, and the lighting is soft and natural. The mood of the image is intimate and relaxed, as if the couple is enjoying a quiet moment together in their home.

The image is a color photograph depicting four men in what appears to be an office setting. They are dressed in suits and ties, and one of the men is seated at a desk with papers and a phone, while the other three stand around him. Their expressions and body language suggest a casual and friendly interaction among them.

The background includes a desk with papers and a lamp, indicating a workspace environment. There are also various decorative elements such as framed pictures on the wall, which contributes to the office atmosphere.

Given the style of their attire and the setting, this photograph could be from the mid-20th century, possibly around the 1950s or 1960s based on fashion trends at that time. The image has a faded quality with soft focus, which is characteristic of many older photographs.
