Lolita

di Stanley Kubrick (Lolita, 1962)

How did they ever make a movie of Lolita?

Il riassunto Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged British novelist who is both appalled by and attracted to the vulgarity of American culture. When he comes to stay at the boarding house run by Charlotte Haze, he soon becomes obsessed with Lolita, the woman’s teenaged daughter. Imdb

Il commento Tutto sommato più sobrio e moderato di quanto ricordassi; il punto di vista esterno e l’innalzamento dell’età di Lolita lo rendono più hollywoodiano. Enorme Peter Sellers.

La parola ai giurati

di Sidney Lumet (12 Angry Men, 1957)

La parola ai giurati Poster

It explodes like 12 sticks of dynamite!

Il riassunto The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors’ prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other. Imdb

Il commento Film pressoché perfetto, da ogni punto di vista: tecnico, regia, recitazione, messa in scena, morale. Imprescindibile.
