Quelques réflexions sur 28 Days Later de Danny Boyle Il est très ironique de constater que c’est «l’insouciance » des jeunes activistes qui voulurent libérer des chimpanzés d’un laboratoire ou l’on expérimentait un virus mortel qui fut la cause de la contagion read more

TSPDT Greatest Films #335 The Thief of Bagdad (Michael Powell, Ludwig Berger, Tim Whelan, 1940)This Technicolor entertainment of 1940 has everything to satisify viewers of any generation. I think Disney understood that when they made Aladdin. The plot is pretty much the same and the action is set in read more

25th Hour (Spike Lee, 2002) This film split critics on two sides, some loved it others hated it. I didn't knew what to think about it for a while aftger seing it. At first , I thought I would have liked it, but to me the message of the film was too dumb and too simple to me. I'm not a big fan of S read more

Lat den ratte komma in aka Let the Right One In (Tomas Alfredson, 2008)With great expectations I bought Let The Right One In. Shortly after that I watch it with a little stress of liking it or hating it: when there's a big hype about a film I often avoid to see it, example I haven't seen Avatar yet read more

TSPDT Greatest Films #251 Germania anno zero aka Germany Year Zero (Roberto Rossellini, 1948)With his Roma, citta aperta, Roberto Rossellini invented the Italian Neorealism. It was not a film genre but more like a current or a different approach to filmmaking. Rossellini wanted to tell "real" stor read more

Redcliff (John Woo, 2008) ReviewThis two piece epic by one of the best director of the Asian continent is a wonderful visual achievement. The epic genre, if it can be considered as a genre, has been redefined many times and mostly because of the CGI effects and because of the popularity of the Lord read more

TSPDT Greatest Films #194 It Happened One Night (Frank Capra, 1934)As far as I am concerned, the best comedies ever written are the ones the 1930's offered to us. An excellent example of this is the Academy Award winner of 1934's for Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Scree read more

TSPDT Greatest Films #284 Nuit et brouillard (Alain Resnais, 1955)The 32 minutes documentary on the jew's mass extermination by the troops of the Third Reich, directed by the French master Alain Resnais with the music of George Delerue is one of the most powerful films ever made.A simplistic narrati read more
