 The Night of the HunterYear: 1955 Country: USA Actors and Actresses: Cheryl Callaway, Kathy Garver, Billy Chapin, Sally Jane Bruce Tags: bathing girl Review: It's the Great Depression. In the process of robbing a bank of $10,000, Ben Harper kills two people. Before he is captured, he is able to convince his adolescent son John and his daughter Pearl not to tell anyone, including their mother Willa, where he hid the money, namely in Pearl's favorite toy, a doll that she carries everywhere with her. Ben, who is captured, tried and convicted, is sentenced to death. But before he is executed, Ben is in the state penitentiary with a cell mate, a man by the name of Harry Powell, a self-professed man of the cloth, who is really a con man and murderer, swindling lonely women, primarily rich widows, of their money before he kills them. Harry does whatever he can, unsuccessfully, to find out the location of the $10,000 from Ben. After Ben's execution, Harry decides that Willa will be his next mark, figuring that someone in the family knows where the money is hidden. Despite vowing not to remarry, Willa ends up being easy prey for Harry's outward evangelicalism; she is a pious woman who feels she needs to atone for her sins which led to Ben doing what he did, especially as Harry presents himself as the preacher who worked at the prison and provided salvation to Ben before his death. Harry quickly figures out that John and Pearl know where the money is. Conversely, John doesn't trust Harry, John who first tries not to show to Harry that he indeed does know where the money is, and then second constantly reminds a more-trusting Pearl of their promise to their now-deceased father. With Willa devoted to her new husband, John and Pearl need some other adult assistance in evading Harry's veiled threats, an adult who not only can see the honesty and goodness in children but who can also see a true wolf in sheep's clothing like Harry. - IMDb Movie added at: 30.10.2021 |

 Ballo a tre passiYear: 2003 Country: Italy Actors and Actresses: Angelo Botti, Giordano Mazzocchi, Mauro Frongia, Alice Zoppi, Simone Frongia, Francesco Barracca, Tonino Fulgheri, Daniele Casula, Sebastiano Lai Review: To appreciate Salvatore Mereu's handsome, slowly unfolding film, set in contemporary Sardinia, be prepared for a movie that plunks you into a rural, primitive environment with a much slower metabolism than the nerve-jangling world of instant communications. Jets may roar overhead, and glamorous international nomads take the sun at a beachfront resort. But over most of the Sardinia's beautiful, rugged landscape, life goes on pretty much as it always has, and most the characters seem barely cognizant of creeping globalization. Consisting of four, loosely connected vignettes, each set in a different season, "Three Step Dancing" parachutes you in to this world and demands that you to fend for yourself. At its most absorbing, the movie has the pace and patient, nonjudgmental gaze of a Taviani Brothers epic that slows time and observes the procession of life without comment. — Stephen Holden, The New York Times Movie added at: 20.10.2021 |
