For the fools out there, who have NOT seen this movie, here is the trailer (you HAVE to see it, if you want to go on reading my blog...I'm not kidding...It's like...mandatory.)



Soy Cuba - Mikhail Kalatozov - Cuba/URSS - (1964)

 


Plot from Imdb: "Four vignettes in Batista's Cuba dramatize the need for revolution; long, mobile shots tell almost wordless stories..."

Where to start ? To begin with, it's a movie from genius director M.Kalatozov, who won the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1958 for "The cranes are flying", another great movie. But "Soy Cuba" is a tremendous leap forward, because it contains almost all of the modern cinema techniques. Some shot are so innovative for that time, it's almost unbelievable. It starts with a slowly moving, grand angle sequence, in a pirogue, it cuts to one of the most famous scene of this movie, the "wild capitalist party" sequence shot, that starts in a hotel roof to end IN a pool, ten floors below. And so on, and so on...I could tell you also about the "procession" sequence, with "flying cameras", etc... but there is no end to it. It goes on and on, it's mesmerizing and overwhelming. This movie has been shelved during years by the communist authorities, that though that it didn't do its works well as a piece of propaganda (the "wild capitalist party" looks great, I must say), therefore nobody knew about this movie until Francis Ford Coppola & Martin Scorsese found it, restored it and distributed it. Thanks to these greats directors, we can at last see this masterpiece !

CHOPPER - Andrew Dominik - Australia - (2000)

 


Plot from Imdb: Chopper tells the intense story of Mark "Chopper" Read, a legendary criminal who wrote his autobiography while serving a jail sentence in prison. His book, "From the Inside", upon which the film is based, was a best-seller.
Great Insane movie about a legendary man, Mark "Chopper" Read. After watching the movie, I was so much interested in the character that I bought his first book and read it. And it's fucking hilarious...You can't believe the shit this man has been through but it helps to understand why he sometimes acts so roughly. A one of a kind criminal, he attacked, tortured and robbed- or killed drug dealers & other fellow criminals only. Never laid a finger on a "civilian".  That's nice for us. My kind of criminal: a hardcore gangster, with a code. I guess everyone has to live by a code.
Andrew Dominik's movie, thanks to the AMAZING performance by Eric Bana , is really great and does the book justice. Just go & watch it, it's an all time classic crime/prison movie !
Cheers, mates !
