Cemetery Man (1994)Thursday, March 18th, 2010 |
|
This movie is based on a novel of Tiziano Sclavi, and it always reflects the “sclavian philosophy” diffused by the most succesful comics in Italy: Dylan Dog, the detective of the nightmare. There is the duality between love and dead (in Italian “dellamore” means “of love” and “dellamorte” means “of death”), a duality that Dellamorte feels in a really hard way. He is the guardian of the cemetery of Buffalora, a little town in the north of Italy, in which, we don’t know why, corpses rise from tombs and Dellamorte has to destroy them. Dellamorte seems not to ask to himself why this happen, he shoots and loves. But at the end he wants to leave Buffalora… |

The Raspberry Reich (2004)Friday, March 12th, 2010 |
|
Gay pornography mixes with tongue-in-cheek political commentary in this well-photographed and absolutely unique comedy written and directed by Bruce LaBruce as ‘a critique of terrorist chic’. An effervescently irreverent screenplay relentlessly attacks anything any normal person might consider to be within the realm of human decency, with clever but utterly demented dialogue delivered with utmost sincerity. Suzanne Sachsse portrays the kidnapping leader of a band of terrorists, but graphic gay sex never seems far from the film’s agenda. Search keywords |
