La pelle (1981)
This isn't true, with these actors in an Italian movie?!
We're still stunned. Such actors, Marcello Mastroianni, Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale. And then such a bad, bad movie, unbelievable but true. There's no story line at all. We're jumping from one non plot into another very unclear little not important plot. What a mess it is. Very strange thing happen, for example an American tank is torn apart by about 10 boys in 5 minutes. When the soldiers come back there's nothing left. Offcause: it's very logical and believable. Mastroianni explains to another American officer that this is the way it goes in Naples, Italy. And then there's discrimination. What?! Yes, discrimination. Of black American soldiers, called different, searching for blond... Of soldiers from Morocco, who always have one thing on their mind and only want one thing, the French officer explains to the American general (Burt Lancaster). I'm sorry to write this, it's so stupid: but that's what this movie is! Please don't watch it!
Te doy mis ojos (2003)
sad and touching
This movie succeeds in bringing the (big) fear, the sadness and the rage belonging to domestic disturbance on the white screen. I think there's no better way to bring it to an audience. It's very well made. Further this is a magnificent drama. Pilar is fleeing to her sister Ana, in fear for her husband Antonio. We see what happens next. The actors make it look very authentic. It plays in a wonderful Spanish setting, in the city of Toledo. The movie is really sad and touching. Also the psychological part is well made. There are many movies in which this part isn't that good. This one is special. It won 7 Goyas in 2004, 2 of them Best Picture and Best Actor. Go see it and feel it.
