Tonight’s #movienight is "Blood and Black Lace", a sleazy Mario Bava giallo and, for many, one of the early proto-slasher films.

LA GRANDE BELLEZA - Paolo Sorrentino - 2013 - ★★★★
---
En tout point remarquable, malgré des longueurs et un morcellement narratif qui peut rebuter, cette œuvre est une célébration de Rome, un hommage aux réminiscences du passé, à l’art et ses mutations, une satire de la mondanité. Magnifiques photos et travellings. Fellinien. #PaoloSorrentino #film #cinema #microcritique #cinemastodon #cine #italianmovie #filmitalien #italianfilm

[Title] La Notte
[Author] Michelangelo Antonioni
[Year] 1961
[Type] Film | Drama
[My rating] 10⭐ in 10

[Opinion] Sometimes we watch great movies. Every now and then we watch masterpieces. And seldom, we watch a movie like "La Notte".
We accompany a single day of a married couple that is slowly growing apart.

Ps. You know you make a hell of a part when Marcello Mastroianni is completely outshined. Bravo,
Jeanne Moreau!

A couple years back I had a crazy idea. Then I ran with it. This is the result. It's not great, it might piss some folks off. But it was fun. Taught me a lot about the art of scoring. Imagining Richard H. Kirk teaming up with RZA after taking a time machine to Tangerine Dream's studio circa 1976. #reddesert #darioantonioni #italianfilm #monicavitti #Moviescore #scoring #soundtrack
