Tales of Ordinary Madness (1981)

America that was not shown by the americans

[9/10 · 6 January 2000]

If you are a conservative or weak of stomach, just forget this film. But if you are a true fan of Charles Bukowski, forget "Barfly" and attend this film. A deeply trip to human nature, you will find a Los Angeles that Hollywood does not show. Ugly, fat, drunks, dirty , insane people and other characters that only a European director as Marco Ferreri would have courage to bring.

Ben Gazzara does a very good drunk poet (he would be better if he had a bigger belly) and Ornella Muti is divine as usual. Forget all the idiots who felt bothered with the reality shown by the film and enjoy.

Four Rooms (1995)

irregular, but overall good

[9/10 · 19 February 1999]

Four rooms, four stories. Beginning with the weakest one and finishing with the best of all: Tarantino's talent making a joke with one of the most memorable episodes of "Alfred Hitchcok Presents".
