The Passion
This is a beautiful Italian film that tells the story of actual incidents that occurred in the Congo durinig colonial rule. The director takes the story of Jesus and places it in the Congo, which was, even back in the early 70s, too provocative for most people to swallow. Woody Strode, a great African-American actor, that is best known for his role in the epic movie Spartacus, stars as Black ...

The incomparable, still beautiful Vanessa Redgrave portrays Miss Bentley, whose family has holidayed at the villa for a generation. Veteran actor Edward Fox shows up as Major Wilshaw, and he immediately captures Ms. Bentley's interest. At the same time, ...

A Sensitive Documentary
THE LAST VICTORY may appear on the DVD cover to be a story film, but in truth it is a documentary - in other words the story within the film is true and untampered. That fact makes the film even more entertaining, especially to those who love Italy and the traditions about which the casual visitor knows too little. In Siena there is an annual horserace called the 'Palio' in the city's center ...

Beats the Matrix
This is a more low-key SF thriller in cyberpunk mode. Jimi has created a brilliant computer game, called Nirvana. However, one of his characters have developed sentinence, and wants to get out. In a way, the world of Nirvana is grimmer than that of the Matrix, since it so much more believable, with megacorporations with their own laws and those outside of the corporations, and, hence, outside of ...

The very best of a master filmaker in relentless crude horror
The importance and influence of italian filmakers in contemporary horror cinema is undeniable. Their low budget productions of the early 70's were standards and a school for classic talented filmakers as John Carpenter or Wes Craven. Just to mention a couple of outstanding examples, we have Mario Bava shocking the world back in 1960 with the horror milestone, the gothic and supernatural "Black ...

Italian horror that bridges the gap!
This is one of my favorites fromt Italian horror. Fulci really distinguishes his personality/style from the rest with this one. Great story, interesting sets, low budget and and ending that only Fulci would bring us! Highly recommended for someone who wants something fresh from horror!

Django il Bastardo
In response to the earlier reviewer, this is Sergio Garrone's Django il Bastardo, not the other film the reviewer mentioned. Django il Bastardo is a small gem among Spaghetti Westerns, a low budget B movie in which a ghost (Django) avenges his own death (a topic later adapted by Clint Eastwood for his "High Plains Drifter"). Hence, Steffen's "wooden" acting is totally appropriate for the role. A ...

Love Vigilantes
Five directors. Five stories. Before sex and the city, there was love. This uneven ensemble, predominantly from a feminine perspective, glimpses at the many facets of love in the city of Rome. Unsuccessful suicides, marriage agencies, the 'seduced and abandoned,' the dancehall and fleeting gazes. The tales by Fellini and Antonioni, respectively, are the weakest shorts ~ wonderful concepts, ...

Diamond Video, 1980
Based on a true incident, this tells the story of a troubled young man who kills his sister's reactionary, violent and abusive husband and is eventually arrested for the murder. However, the dead husband happened to be a member of the Italian nobility, and the trial starts to turn into more of a prosecution of the defendant's socialist politics and the activities of his father, a well known liberal social reformer, than the actual crime itself.
