Le ragazze di Piazza di Spagna (1952)
Simple and stunning
Postwar Italian cinema and its neo-realistic flavor are known to cinema lovers. Bicycle Thieves (1948) and films like Il Sorpasso (1962) are more famous. And they are great films.
In that tradition from the 1950s is Le ragazze di Piazza di Spagna. This is a movie which does not need a review.
Watch people falling in love, their heartbreaks, finding love again.
And I fell in love with Elena.
Quo vadis (2001)
Kick ass!
This movie impressed me greatly. Seeing the grand coliseum scenes, movies like Gladiator feels like cheap imitations.
Excellent acting, pacy, and sensitive, I consider Quo Vadis on par with UNDERGROUND, the Emir Kusturica classic.
Hope a wider audience can catch this in theaters, even a DVD wont pay justice to the wonderful sets, costumes etc. I saw this in the Polish film festival in Chicago.
