curiosity presented at Cannes in 2002.



novel by Patrick McGrath, Spider is the story of a man with schizophrenia whose childhood was a day marred by a terrible event.

Spider, whose real name is Dennis Cleg, is received in the opening bars of the film in a nursing home. In this area, where he grew up among other things, Spider relive his childhood through his adult eyes, and with the help of his trusty laptop, will try to reconstruct the events of his childhood that led him to end up with a madhouse.

In this Cronenberg plunges into the world of psychology (Oedipus complex) and the resulting knowledge and perfect descriptor.
Register talking Cronenberg is excellent in most of his work including recent ("A History of Violence," "Eastern Promises").
Every shot is meticulously designed and is a small work of art. Many times one has the impression of being in front of a picture thanks to the intelligent use of light, of which the director is an expert connoisseur. More than
director Cronenberg is one of those cases where we can talk really artist. whole film is developed using the technique of flashback sull'intreccio plans and time, past and present.
The dialogues are not so plentiful but are short and incisive. Just think of the protagonist, who during the 'entire film is confined to continuous mutterings, which, after all, involve and make even the best' atmosphere feature Spider.

The cast is suitable for a film. Ralph Fiennes is immense as Spider, Miranda Richardson in the double role of mother / whore is just as good. Praise equal to Ralph Fiennes deserves Gabriel Bryne (already seen in "The Iron Mask," "The Usual Suspects") in one of the tests recitative that intensity and emotion, a career nobillitano ( that do not need it).

Spider is a movie to watch everything at once, and that probably end up loving or hating.

One thing is certain: if you are among those who consider this film a masterpiece of American Pie will surely annoy .

The red ant

short film taken from the Italian sit-com " Boris "

Thank God I want
maze of causes and effects
the diversity of creatures
that make up this singular universe,
for reason, that will not cease to dream
some labyrinth design,
for the face of Helen and the perseverance of Ulysses,
for the love that makes us see the other
sees them as the gods ,
diamond and water balance for the dissolved
for algebra, the palace of crystal clear,
for mystic Angelus Silesius coins,
for Schopenhauer,
perhaps decipher ' universe,
for the splendor of fire
that no human being can look
no wonder a former

for mahogany, sandalwood and cedar,
for bread and salt,
for the mystery of the rose
that lavish color and does not see it,
for some sleepless nights and days of 1955,
hard for herders in the plain
incite the animals and sunrise,
for the morning in Montevideo,
for the art of friendship,
for the last day of Socrates,
for the words that were spoken in a twilight
a cross to the other,
for that dream that he embraced Islam
thousand nights and one night,
to that other dream of hell,
the tower of the fire that purifies,
and glorious spheres,
to Swedenborg,
conversing with the angels on the streets of London,
for rivers secrets and immemorial
that converge in me,
centuries ago for the language I spoke in Northumbria,
the sword of the Saxon harp,
for the sea, which is a blazing desert
and a number of things that we do not know,
for verbal music of England,
minutes of music in Germany,
for gold that shines in the poems, the epic
Winter
for the name of a book that I have not read,

to Verlaine, innocent as the birds,
for the prism glass and the weight of brass,
for the tiger stripes ,
for the tall towers of San Francisco and Manhattan,
for the morning in Texas,
for that which drew up the Seville Epistle Morale,
and whose name, as he preferred, ignore it,
for Seneca and Lucan, of Cordova,
that before the English
wrote all the English literature,
for geometric and bizarre Chess,
for Zeno's tortoise and a map of Royce,
for the medicinal smell of the eucalyptus,
for language, which can simulate the wisdom
to oblivion, which cancels or changes the past
for custom,
repeats and confirms that we as a mirror,
for the morning, which gives us the illusion of a principle,
for the night, its darkness and its astronomy,
for the courage and the happiness of others,
for his country, felt jasmine in
or an old sword,
for Whitman and Francis of Assisi who wrote this poem already
,
the fact that this poem is inexhaustible
and merges with the sum Things
and will never last to
and change according to men,
for Frances Haslam, who asked forgiveness for his children died because
so slowly,
for minutes before sleep,
for sleep and death,
those two hidden treasures,
for intimate gifts that do not list
for this music, mysterious form of time.

original title: Requiem for a Dream
cast: Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans, Christopher McDonald, Keith David.
the joke: Why continue to gnash their teeth, mother? Pills that gave you this doctor?


"Requiem for a Dream" is the story of four lives, each one different from another, but with a common purpose, to achieve a better future success.
Sara is an old widow's home now all alone and made this situation more and more apathetic and alienated from the world. Harry, his son, a young boy is depressed to make it less sad and lonely his life is constantly in search of drugs. To share with him this situation are the girl Maryon and his best friend Tyrone.
The monotony of these four lives a day, however, will change ...
Sarah, contacted by an operator for its possible participation in a television program, found the enthusiasm and happiness lost time. With the hope or even the certainty of having reached a goal for so long imagined Sara decided to attend a medical rather shameful, who will prescribe without the problems of "pills" that only later turns out to be amphetamines. Sara will become dependent on her cause hallucinations paradoxical to delirium pure.
Harry, hoping to give a better life for him and his mother decides to throw himself with Tyrone and Maryon in the drug market. Their adventure will begin, but, due to an unexpected event, will come to a complete failure to coincide with the end of their friendship and love.

The film tells the dark side of America, that part in the famous "American Dream" is not realized. And everything is made wonderfully well. Dominates the total realism . Scene raw. true that as best we can make the lives of many Govan today.
Aronofwsky makes the perfect world of drugs and its effects. The film's characters, making use constantly, bring to light all their weakness before their final self-destruction in a dark, dark, where not leaked even a faint hope of rebirth.
may be natural to compare with the "Trainspotting" (1996) Danny Boyle, but while it might be a little falsotto, the film is considered the most Aronofwsky level across the board.

The director of Aronofwsky is nothing short of spectacular. U.S. director creates shots and sequences, often repeated, memorable, fascinating to the eye and never boring, always loads of pace.
The cast is the bearer of a benefit from praise. On all Ellen Burstyn. In the role of Sarah for the duration of the film makes it perfectly all the moods of the character, spasmodic enthusiasm from sadness, from frustration to pure madness.
Jared Leto (Harry) and Jennifer Connelly (Maryon) take the right step. Marlon Wayans (Tyrone) does not despise.
Soundtrack slow and disturbing perfect for the subject matter and the rhythm of the sequences. Congratulations to Clint Masella.
Photography as superb, especially with regard to the final load very visually.

Requiem for a dream is a real film, which hits, it hurts, it involves the viewer , drags him by force of circumstances in the lives of the protagonists, and despite the increasing crescendo of raw images, you can not fail to look at.

"Requiem for a Dream" ... small masterpiece of a great director too undervalued in a cinema where today the most inept people to be successful.

incisive.
