The Legend of the Holy Drinker

Low-keyed humanism. Excellent performance by Hauer.

Like L'ARGENT, this is a Christian parable, but here money is less simply diabolical than it is a token in an economy of gift and counter-gift that opens the way, more or less, to the transcendental. The slow rhythm with which the mostly melancholy events unfold is justified by a narrative that constantly invites reflection, but, despite everything, including the uncanny, almost timeless world in which the story is set, perhaps it does not quite reach the heights. Looks very nice on Blu-ray.

The candle crossing scene from Nostalghia extended to a whole film.

Câncer

Em honra de Ermanno Olmi (1931 - 2018). Belíssimo filme, nos faz esquecer até o seu viés teísta. BluraRip no MakingOff.
