Happy Birthday to Veruschka von Lehndorff ๐ฅ๐ #botd
This iconic scene between her and David Hemmings is from Michelangelo Antonioni's masterpiece Blow-Up (1966). The scene was defined at the time as a "photographic intercourse," and some critics saw a connection between the photograph and the act of possession, with the absolute dominance of the male gaze over the female body, shaped according to the viewer's desire. For others, the scene represents the embodiment of the ephemeral spirit of "Swinging London," in which the film is set, with the cult of beauty and fashion dominating everything else. I believe this scene further underscores one of the keys to understanding the entire film: the blurred line between reality and fiction. Truth is manipulated through the images captured by the electronic eye of a camera (that of the protagonist) or a movie camera (that of the director and therefore the film itself). And in the end, the simulacrum becomes more real than reality itself, to the point that it becomes difficult to distinguish the two.

@mikemoviez Obviously Mario Bava who was a master for both of the other two and also for many others. One of the directors who most influenced genre cinema in the 1960s and 1970s. Not only in Italy, but in the world. An instinctive genius wholly unaware of his greatness
Sulla "creativa parsimonia" cromatica di Ozu, fatte salve quelle piccole, subitanee sferzate di rosso, di giallo, di viola che rompono la rassicurante continuitร di un mondo a tinte pastello

#Sonatine (1993) by #TakeshiKitano
Formidable gangster noir by TK,atypical and almost illogical in its conception,which immediately became a cult object for cinephiles for its ability to rewrite the codes of genre.Dark,brilliant and nihilistic it's the best yakuza of modern times

#Vertigo (1958) #AlfredHitchcock #KimNovak
Thriller of masterly workmanship,hypnotic charm and with a great love story, suspended btw sentimental lyricism and noir oneirism. It is also a cruel tale with arcane resonances and morbid impulses, inserted into a memorable plot.
#PierPaoloPasolini #dotd ๐๐๐
On the afternoon of November 1, 1975, Pasolini gave his last prophetic interview to the journalist Furio Colombo in his Roman home. He decided to title it "We are all in danger". A few hours later, on the night between November 1 and 2, Pasolini was brutally killed at the Idroscalo in Ostia (Rome), in circumstances that remain mysterious to this day. I report here some excerpts from that interview, which immediately took on the meaning of a tragic testament after the crime.
"History gives us a great example. Refusal has always been an essential gesture. Saints, hermits, but also intellectuals. The few who have made history are those who said no, not the courtiers and assistants of cardinals. Refusal to work must be great, not small, total, not on this or that point, "absurd", not common sense."
"First tragedy: a common, compulsory and wrong education that pushes us all into the arena of having everything at all costs. In this arena we are pushed like a strange and dark army in which someone has the cannons and someone has the bars. So a first, classic division is "to be with the weak". But I say that, in a certain sense, everyone is weak, because everyone is a victim. And everyone is guilty, because everyone is ready to play the game of massacre. Just to have. The education received was: to have, to possess, to destroy."
"I miss the poor and real people who fought to overthrow that master without becoming that master. Since they were excluded from everything, no one had colonized them. I am afraid of these blacks in revolt, equal to the master, just as many predators, who want everything at any cost."
"And you are, with school, television, the calmness of your newspapers, you are the great conservatives of this horrendous order based on the idea of โโpossessing and the idea of โโdestroying. Blessed are you who are all happy when you can put a nice label on a crime. To me this seems like another of the many operations of mass culture. Unable to prevent certain things from happening, one finds peace by building shelves."
"I don't want to talk about myself anymore, maybe I've said too much. Everyone knows that I pay for my experiences personally. But there are also my books and my films. Maybe I'm wrong. But I continue to say that we are all in danger."
Rarely have words and concepts, expressed with such conviction and lucidity, been more prophetic than these. Unfortunately. The poet director will be killed a few hours later, in an anonymous football pitch on the outskirts of town, and the crime will be quickly labeled, by a hasty and awkward justice system, as a "violent act linked to the world of homosexuals". But the mysteries, the shadows, the inconsistencies, the unclear facts, the testimonies never heard and the sensational media twists that followed are still many and are all still there. Waiting to be clarified, if it ever really happens. Pasolini, and also his tragic death, have always scared those in power. And, 50 years later, things do not seem to have changed.
Cameos in movies:
Yasujirล Ozu
We're not talking about explicit personal appearances here, but rather a strong distinctive signature, a poetic and highly personal mark. The great Japanese Master often used prominent static shots of landscapes, objects, or interiors in his films to interrupt the narrative and provide a transitional or reflective element. For those who know (and love) him, these are comparable to a cameo, an implicit presence of artistic value. These "Ozu-esque" shots have been called "Ozu moments" or "pillow shots".

#IngmarBergman #BOTD ๐๐๐
He directed 39 feature films and 17 television films. In addition to all his films, he wrote the screenplays for 16 others, both for cinema and television. He wrote 31 works, including novels, memoirs, and plays. He has won numerous Awards at the three major European film festivals (Cannes, Venice and Berlin). He is unanimously considered one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema, a Master who left us numerous masterpieces and an enormous artistic legacy, still a point of reference for all those who wish to engage with great Auteur Cinema. Best wishes to Ingmar Bergman on the 107th anniversary of his birth.
I love South Korean cinema very much and the choice was difficult for me. Among the possible ones there were obviously various films by Kim Ki-Duk, Bong Joon Ho, Hong-jin Na, Park Chan-Wook and almost all the works by Chang-dong Lee. In the end I chose these two that are particularly dear to me and that I consider, personally, the most "important":
- Hanyeo (1960) - Kim Ki-young
- Beoning (2018) - Chang-dong Lee
And for those who don't know, as a curiosity, I can say that Bong Joon Ho has always put "Hanyeo" as his main source of inspiration for his award-winning "Parasite". And Chabrol has also always praised his love for "Hanyeo", to the point of directing his own personal "version" with the disturbing "La cรฉrรฉmonie" in 1995.
#LaTerraTrema(1948)#LuchinoVisconti
Free adaptation of #IMalavoglia by Verga,it is a tragic epic of the humble condemned by a classist capitalism and a mocking destiny.Among the masterpieces of Neorealism it's perhaps the most solemn,btw political ideology and realistic drama.

#botd #RainerWernerFassbinder
Rainer Werner Fassbinder (31 May 1945 โ 10 June 1982)
Director, screenwriter, actor, writer, playwright, theater director, intellectual and free thinker, a man against, uncomfortable and pungent for his time. There are those who defined him as the "German Pasolini", he loved to define himself as "a German author who makes German films for a German audience". But obviously he was much more than this and thinking of reducing Fassbinder (an absolute genius in the field of cinematographic art) to some mere definition or classification would also be madness. Better to remember him through his art, his films, which perfectly express his thoughts and his vision of life: hard, tormented, unjust, without God and without hope, sometimes unbearable due to its crudeness. But, also, not without great sensitivity and an enlightened vision, capable of grasping psychological or emotional aspects (which he always connected to the social or traced back to power and class relations) which escaped to most of people and which, for this reason, upset the right-thinking. Like all inconvenient and "cursed" geniuses, because they were too ahead of their time, Fassbinder too was, almost instinctively, devoted to self-destruction and left us too soon, like many others. But his art is eternal, it's here, let's not ignore it!
Feel free to express your opinion, for example which films of his you prefer or anything else related. If u like ๐๐
