Movie Reviews of Padre Padrone
Movie Review: MY FATHER , MY MASTER...
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a landmark film of the seventies , a film with a great dramatic intensity , it has its roots in neo-realism yet so beautiful and lyrical. The 5 stars are for Paolo and Vittorio Taviani , Omero Antonuti and the rest of the crew. For Fox Lorber a zero on a transfer job so poorly done , the VHS tape plays better; they did the same with "Ran" , by Kurosawa . Let us hope someone will hear our voices screaming bloody murder , and hoping for a decent digital transfer on these and similar "butchered" masterpieces.Movie Review: Ah, The Pity of It...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a film that haunts me (especially the first part) so much that for years I couldn't bring myself to write a review on. And yet the look of the small boy in the sleeve brings back so much vivid memories: the same sort of impact of the War Photo showing a shocked, naked small Asian girl (aged 5 or 6?) on the run, crying, taking flee on her own from a bomb upon Japanese invasion... It doesn't have to show you the actual act of violence or brutality. His helplessness in the vastness of the desolate mountainous slopes is just omnipotent and I still can't bring myself to go back to it. It is almost as shocking as a Georgian film from Russia in B/W that I had seen decades ago. One star taken off for its bitter sadness, for it weighs so heavy in your heart...Movie Review: Wonderful and different
Summary: 4 Stars
Very intense. Difficult and extraordinary life of sheperd's son in Sardinia. Enduring the loneliness, brutality of the land and an abusive father.Movie Review: Fox Lorber DVD...experience the worst DVD transfer
Summary: 1 Stars
a true story, about living under unbelievable paternal cruelty. the landscape must be beutiful, but this dvd transfer manages to obscure all that. this is the type of product you get when vulgar and dishonest people are involved in its making; this becomes more apparent when it involve the production of art-related materials, where ultimate crftmanship is required. I hope that a remastered version well be published sometimes in the future. avoid this dvd and all Fox Lorber dvd.
