Esilarante, intelligente ed elegante film cult del genere comico (che, mea culpa, non avevo mai visto integralmente).

📝Voto: 7 /¹⁰
"The party" di Blake Edwards, 99 minuti, 1968.
-Peter Sellers, con il suo indimenticabile colorito indiano, veste qui i panni di Hrundi V. Bakshi, ingenua e sbadata comparsa indiana sul set di un film di Hollywood. Dopo avere inavvertitamente fatto esplodere il set prima del ciak del regista, il buffo ometto si ritrova per errore invitato in una lussuosa villa al party del produttore del film.- da themoviedb.org

My ★★★½ review of The Party (1968) on #letterboxd: https://boxd.it/9hynrH

A ★★★½ review of The Party (1968)

Comparing The Party (Edwards, 1968) & Playtime (Tati, 1967) ... Edwards biographers Peter Lehman and William Luhr said, “The Party may very well be one of the most radically experimental films in Hollywood history; in fact it may be the single most radical film since D.W. Griffith’s style came to dominate the American cinema.” Film historian Saul Austerlitz wrote, “Despite the offensiveness of Sellers’s brownface routine, The Party is one of his very best films… Taking a page from Tati, this is neorealist comedy, purposefully lacking a director’s guiding eye: look here, look there. The screen is crammed full of activity,

A ★★★★ review of The Party (1968)

The Party is a mixture of Jacques Tati's genius and Billy Wilder's chaos, portrayed by one of the greatest comedy actors of all time, Peter Sellers! The film's universe is nearly perfect for a comedy classic, but the inclusion of the painted baby elephant raises concerns about animal abuse. The elephant appears visibly uncomfortable, which is difficult to ignore ... It's a reminder that standards and sensibilities were different back then.

.. and suddenly I find myself back in the #90s where we saw the future of home computing unfold before our eyes. The #PC - a bulky expensive machine for boring tunaheads running WordPerfect suddenly got graphics and sound that didn't suck.

Young aspiring programmers (that would be coders for you young people) wrote code in assembler and made the PC do thing it was never meant to. Awesome things. Things that blew your mind. Some wrote trackers for composing sample based music, and suddenly everyone could compose music on their PC.

The level of optimism and creativity was mind blowing, and I feel so incredibly lucky for having been a part of it. Sure, our demos were too horrible to be shown on the big screen, but we did submit at least one for #TheParty back in '92 or '94.

I miss the 90s.

This, by the way, is a sweet #Pentium 200MMX system with #PicoGUS, #SoundBlaster Vibra16 and an #TsengLabs #ET6000 graphics card (that's GPU for you young'uns).

The Party

Author's note: The Party is a fairly short story, written in the late 2010s, when the idea of MetaStructure was beginning to take shape. It takes place in the early 1990s and features three young friends who are about to have a party they won't soon forget. I may say more about it one day, but for now, I'd prefer to leave it as a surprise and let you guess how this story ties in with the rest. Tom opened the door and stood up straight, hands on hips in a pose not unlike Superman's. The […]

The Proles (the working-class majority, largely ignored by the Party).

Winston believes that if there is any hope of overthrowing the Party, it must come from the Proles because they are the only group large enough and relatively free from constant surveillance and ideological control.
