must see films
Il conformista: bernardo bertolucci
one of my all-time favorite films (based on a novel by alberto moravia). what i don’t understand, is how could the same person make such a horrible film like last tango in paris after this film and before the revolution? by dd
the genius of Terry Gilliam : Brazil!
must see film for any sci-fi lover. next to kubrick’s more serious and stylistic 2001: a space odyssey, this is by far my most favorite sci-fi film. the current situation in the world, especially under the past eight years, makes this film a more than ever, important must see. by dd
Capucine and Anouk Aimee
is that a whip you are holding my dear capucine?
two of my favorite women in cinema, the most beautiful ever. those faces, the nose the eyes everything just perfectly chic. now i know why we all developed a crush on sabina! born, respectively, germaine lefebvre and francoise sorya dreyfus. by dd
1973 Badlands: terrence malick
an early masterpiece by director terrence malick, add it to the list of must sees. by dd
a skin too few
in memory of a great man, writer, and his music. the documentary on our beloved river man, mr. nick drake. see it if you can get a hold of a copy. by dd
Elmyr de Hory
ask me what i consider to be the ultimate art work of the past two centuries, and I have to say it’s “f is for fake” by orson welles. like all great art works, you have to know the life and history of the artist to understand his/her created language. and if you do, you can not stand un-baffled by the graceful emergence of topics in this fictional documentary. this man is perhaps the GOD who blessed godard as his apprentice and servant. amazing work. thanks to my ultimate idol and teacher mr. george porcari. many years ago, i discovered this film and the twisted, fascinating, ironic story of elmyr de hory, howard hughes/citizen kane, picasso, amedeo modigliani, ibiza, and art in general all in one. it stayed with me through the years, and seeing it again for the third time tonight just confirmed its genius. maybe some one else will appreciate it as much today as i did 18 years ago…. thank you george! by dd
Ozu late spring
it’s slow, calm, private, intimate, and can I even say… sweet? as they say, he’s indeed a majestic mountain in the history of cinema. for a man who remained alone and single all his life, it’s beautiful how he tells the story of a father and daughter in post-war Japan under US occupation and in the midst of modernization. the kyoto sequence at the end, and the daughters speech seem so ancient and almost sappy in any context; yet in ozu’s hands, it just works like a charm. by dd
A bigger splash
for KC by dd
Rockers Rock
forget style.com, these guys were the coolest outfitters of them all– and of course an all time great film to see if you haven’t. a complete time capsule, impossible to recreate! rasta rule. by dd
wes anderson: style

Mick jagger may be great, but he’s no Klaus Kinski
here’s one master outdoing another. this is why klaus is worth the hell herzog went through, i mean the man is an alien but a goddamn super star of an alien. fitzcarraldo, who can top that? you know, the europeans did my favorite films but the actors were always irrelevant. here’s one you can’t ever replace. vaya con dios klaus! by dd
