Preparation H Cream With Biodyne

Random Thoughts # 7

Ciapaiev (1934)
Nothing but a (good) Soviet propaganda films, but this time the socialist hero's face is more human and sensitive, almost like a Joh Wayne Bolshevik, rough and raw, peel the tough but noble principles. An eror almost romantic. In the end the propaganda remains in the background, and is affected by this bell'avventura.

Other Men (Strangers on a Train) (1951)
One of the minor Hitchcock film but not lower in quality. Characters from the ambiguous behavior outlined in their shapes but with almost surgical precision, framing effect (very good prologue). A bit 'too easy perhaps, the suspense has ulterior motives, there is less philosophy but the suspense will like Hitchcock, and so that's fine, no need to add more.

The Match Girl (1989 )
There's no acting, dialogue cut to the bone, fragments of a life stifled and rendered silent by the noise of the outside does not exist (the deafening noise of the factory and the noise of the tragedies of the world). Scene broken actions imbued with nihilism, there is no hope, there are no autonomous choices, only choices derived from the case. An exasperated and exasperating film. Icy, ghiccia to the core.

the thirteenth hour of the night (1969)
A work out of my head, in the true sense of the word. Crazy, sketched musical "wishes for the new year" full of ay and joviality but that hides a veiled sense of melancholy and "towards" the American film and a critique of the Soviet Union still too far behind. A contemporary musical by the plant without doubt but with factors particular to filmography Soviet classical (traditional folk singing could not miss). The Russians have made very few musicals are cash on the fingers of one hand, but when they do, they have semore good results and interesting products.
