Kate Playground Collection

Admiral

eh Not in a mystical sense, we speak of filmss ... plural because the films are 3:

- Gardenia Death Mala (Domenico Paolella, 1979): Who is Gardenia? Caliph Er, no other than Franco Califano (rigged worse Renato Zero), said because of the Gardenia flower that always brings joy, for signature by any of his business. Gardenia is the hero of the neighborhood, which has its own ethics, his philosophy of life (a sort of Carlito's Way), one who knows what is the crime but is now clean and wants to stay there. But around him the Mala is rampant, and wants to bend too Gardenia. Oh that .... er if it Caliph 'fold'? But printed on kids'? Nothing, if the trumpet all women to him, the criminal sganassoni them down at all with the usual class e l'eleganza innata che gli si riconosce (mej cojoni!). Il film di primo acchito parrebbe un poliziesco, anzi, un polizziottesco, ma non lo è, trattasi quasi quasi di una commedia invece, sebbene bazzichi gli ambienti del cinema di genere italiano. Non c'è un polizziotto in tutto il film, curioso eh? Parata di sgnacchere da b-movie, su tutte la sempre notevole Licinia Lentini (la focosa e adulterina amante di Speroni nell' Allenatore Nel Pallone ). Molti i monologhi di Gardenia, nel quale viene snocciolata tutta la filosofia spirituale der Califfo (Gardenia è un personaggio cucitogli su misura). La storia procede lentamente, soprattutto la prima parte, e talvolta si sbadiglia, però è un cult romanesco di prima category, and if little nun 'not see'. After spending the whole movie to say no to drugs, Gardenia / Califano we will end up in jail because of drugs and really, mocking destiny.



- People Confidentiality (Luigi Zampa, 1975): the novel by Giuseppe Fava, tells the story of a Mestre of the north which is transferred to punitive Ragusa. Here, despite himself, is sucked by the power struggles of the local mafia, living on their skin all the worst stereotypes of the province of Sicily, in difficult years, and under the total and absolute control of the Mafia. Films of high tension, and civil complaint, although not funny and entertaining moments are saved. There is no Franco Nero and James Mason. A veritable compendium of Sicilian culture, in black of course. Unwatchable Upim used as dummies of corpses, but it was so complicated to put a guy in the flesh?



- Vacations For a Massacre (Ferdinando Di Leo, 1980): for a start, Fernando Di Leo is a great ( Milan Caliber 9 , La Mala Order , Twenty years Have you say anything?) and then whatever you watch his films and also says that they are masterpieces. Vacations For a Massacre is a Di Leo film that he agreed to turn the last minute, a kind of favor, putting in the control room of a project and its almost bell0 and packaged before it arrives. Budget allowance equivalent to my son, but minimal suggestive locations, a cast of four actors on the cross, the whole script to build, in effect, a film with nothing to be invented. And he invents, invented the shovel bitch! Labeled as "rape & revenge 'movie, in practice the stuff of exploitation, where every element is precisely the most exploited and exaggerated in order to obtain useful flab to take home with 86 minutes of film. The Talk, brutal and ruthless, reaches a isolated farmhouse where he hid in his time of 300 million lire. But the place is now a destination for vacationers petit bourgeois - wife, sister (nymphomaniac) of the wife, husband (drills) of his wife - who go on site to spend your holidays scoperecce debauched arrogance and snobbery. The arrival shatters any balance dell'evaso course, violence is wasted, as well as loose coupling, and ultimately a bloodbath. A poor film, all belly, but also a typical example of how the Italian author of the 70 could go anywhere and everywhere, in the face of world cinema.
