il pianista

Temo di essere l'unico al mondo a non aver apprezzato Il Pianista. In alcuni momenti, nel raccontare le atrocità naziste, ho avuto l'impressione che stesse facendo la lista della spesa (e sì che il materiale drammatico non mancava, mi risulta). Poi non riesco a capire come si possa considerare bravo un attore come Adrien Brody, ma riconosco che questa è probabilmente una mia tara.

Boh. Mi ha lasciato a dir poco freddo; imparagonabile a Schindler's List.
Lo stesso Roman 'Mi Piace Lo Stupro' Polanski mi è sempre parso molto sopravvalutato: a parte Rosemary's Baby, fatico a trovare un altro suo film che possa essere considerato davvero memorabile (il che non vuol dire che facciano tutti schifo, anzi, ma da qui a considerarlo tra i più importanti registi viventi ce ne passa).

Biografia:
Roman Polanski's parents returned to Poland from France just two years before the World War II began: both were taken later to concentration camps (his mother eventually died there). Young Roman managed to escape the ghetto and was learning survival while wandering through the Polish countryside and living with the different Catholic families. Though local people usually ignored cinemas where mostly German films were shown, Polanski seemed not very much concerned about patriotism and frequently went to the movies. In 1945 he reunited with his father who sent him to technical school, but young Polanski seemed to have already made his choice.In the 50s he took up acting, appearing amongst the other films in Andrzej Wajda's Pokolenie (1955) before studying at the Lodz Film School. His early shorts such as Dwaj ludzie z szafa (1958), Gros et le maigre, Le (1961) and Ssaki (1962) showed his taste for black humor and interest in bizarre human relationships. His feature debut, Nóz w wodzie (1962), was the first Polish post-war film not associated with the war theme. Though being already a major Polish filmmaker Polanski yet chose to leave the country and headed to France. Being down-and-out in Paris, he befriended young scriptwriter, Gérard Brach, who eventually became his long-time collaborator. The next two films, Repulsion (1965) and Cul-de-sac (1966), made in England and co-written by Brach, won respectively Silver and Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festivals.In 1968 Polanski went to Hollywood, where he easily gained the reputation with the intelligent psychological thriller Rosemary's Baby (1968). However, after the brutal murder of his wife Sharon Tate by the infamous Manson gang in 1969, the director decided to return to Europe. In 1974 he again appeared in the USA with Chinatown (1974): that seemed to be the beginning of the promising Hollywood career. After his conviction for the statutory rape of a 13-year old girl, Polanski fled from America to avoid prison.After Tess (1979), which was awarded several Oscars and Cesars, his work became intermittent and rarely approached the level of his best films. The director also stretched his talents to include occasional work in theatre. He still likes to act in the films of other directors, sometimes with interesting results as it was in Pura formalità, Una (1994).

Trivia random: He has said that his life's biggest regret was not being present at the house on Cielo Drive, Beverly Hills the night his wife Sharon Tate and four others were brutally murdered.
Citazione random: "I never made a film which fully satisfied me."

per favore...

Continuo a pensare che Roman "mi piace lo stupro, molto meno la galera" Polanski sia uno dei registi più sopravvalutati della storia (a proposito: votate il sondaggio su IMDbPY!)
Se Rosemary's Baby era in effetti un gioiello, non trovo niente altro nella sua filmografia che ci vada anche solo vicino.
È naturalmente possibile che sia io a NCUCDC (non capire un cazzo di cinema): del resto lui è così autoriale e ci fa sentire tanto importanti con quel suo amare alla follia l'Europa... (deve essere questo che lo ha tenuto decenni lontanto dagli Stati Uniti, già... questo o la prospettiva del carcere).

Anche tralasciando il suo essere una merda d'uomo, la visione di Per favore, non mordermi sul collo - commedia parodia degli horror sui vampiri - non mi ha fatto cambiare idea sulle sue capacità artistiche: zero senso del ritmo, scene lunghissime ed inutili, personaggi ridotti a macchiette e (poche) battute stantie già all'epoca.
Qualcosa di carino c'è: la scena del ballo è in effetti ben architettata ed interpretata, ma per il resto si vede ben poco che faccia davvero ridere.
Poi c'è Sharon Tate, che non per caso all'epoca era nota come una delle donne più belle del mondo. E quando è in scena è uno spettacolo.

Nel genere, imparagonabile a perle come Spider Baby od i classici di Mel Brooks.

the ghost writer

Niente da fare, continuo a trovare Roman Polanski - che pur è sempre cooosì intellettuaaale - uno dei registi più sopravvalutati di sempre (salvo giusto Rosemary's Baby).

La pseudo-trama di The Ghost Writer (sciocco titolo italiano: L'uomo nell'ombra): un povero regista radical-chic non può neppure drogare e stuprare una bambina che subito EvilAmerika^® si accanisce contro di lui costringendolo ad una dignitosa fuga...

Oh no - quella deve essere la trama di un altro film. Riprovo: sembra che scrivere le (auto)biografie degli ex primi ministri d'Inghilterra sia un affare serio (come se qualcuno volesse leggerle...) e la cosa viene gestita con una sicurezza degna del proverbiale Fort Knox. Ahilui, il nuovo ghost writer ha l'ingrato compito di finire in fretta il lavoro lasciato a metà dal predecessore, che ha avuto il cattivo gusto di farsi uccidere (pardon: "farsi suicidare").
Ci metterà cinque minuti a scoprire che dietro c'è molto di più e che l'ex primo ministro ha tanto da nascondere, proprio mentre monta un caso polito internazionale, con il tribunale internazionale dell'Aia che vuole metterlo sotto accusa per crimini di guerra (suppongo il concetto qui sia: i tribunali sono buoni fintanto non incriminano te).

Trama inverosimile al di là di qualsivoglia sospensione dell'incredulità, nelle due ore e dieci del film non succede quasi nulla, e quando succede lo fa male.

Oltre ad esser quasi priva di logica, si segnalano un paio di deus ex machina davvero imbarazzanti (con tanto di bifolco che sa tutto, ma non viene ascoltato! Mai più senza!

)
Scadenti gli attori: Pierce Brosnan ci delizia con un paio di facce spalmate sulla telecamera davvero notevoli, mente Ewan McGregor è espressivo quanto una spada laser.
Inutile la regia: niente di tragico, magari, ma mai un guizzo od un briciolo di personalità.

No, non salvo davvero niente in un film che puzza lontano un miglio di ripicchina contro il mandato di cattura internazionale del 2005, che al momento lo costringe a degli umilianti arresti domiciliari in una mega-villa. Povero caro, quanto ingiusto accanimento...
Detto ciò, di mio sono dispostissimo a valutare l'opera separatamente dalla merda d'uomo; il problema è che qui anche il film è pessimo.

Voto: 4-. Roman, va ai lavori forzati!

^{Biografia:
Ewan Gordon McGregor was born 31 March 1971 in Crieff, Scotland. At 16, he left Crieff and Morrison Academy to join the Perth Repertory Theatre. His parents encouraged him to leave school and pursue his acting goals rather than be unhappy. McGregor studied drama for a year at Kirkcaldly in Fife, then enrolled at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama for a three-year course. He studied alongside Daniel Craig and Alistair McGowan among others, and left right before graduating after snagging the role of Private Mick Hopper in Dennis Potter's 1993 six-part Channel 4 series "Lipstick on Your Collar" (1993). His first notable role was that of Alex Law in Shallow Grave (1994), directed by Danny Boyle, written by John Hodge and produced by Andrew MacDonald. This was followed by The Pillow Book (1996) and Trainspotting (1996), the latter of which brought him to the public's attention. He is now one of the most critically acclaimed actors of his generation, and portrays Obi-wan Kenobi in the first three Star Wars episodes. McGregor is married to French production designer Eve Mavrakis, whom he met while working on the TV show "Kavanagh QC" (1995). They married in France in the summer of 1995 and have two daughters, Clara Mathilde and Esther Rose. McGregor has formed a production company with friends Jonny Lee Miller, Sean Pertwee, Jude Law and Sadie Frost. Called Natural Nylon, they hope it will make innovative films that do not conform to Hollywood standards.

Trivia random: According to Stunt Coordinator Nick Gillard, he picked up the light saber sword fighting style very quickly. In an interview on the DVD to The Phantom Menace, Gillard commented that Ewan was probably faster than anyone else who was working on the film, including the stunt department.
Citazione random: I fight cynicism. It's too easy. It's really boring. It's much harder to be positive and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren't as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented.}

Trivia random: Roman and his father are Holocaust survivors. His father was Jewish, and his half-Jewish mother (who was murdered in Auschwitz) had been raised as a Roman Catholic.
