• Commander Eduardo de Angelis

“Commander”, an ambitious war film, more funereal than spectacular, chooses the most difficult and difficult way to tell the story of fascist war hero Salvatore Todaro: the choral fresco on the Pieta that reclaims ideology, of the cruel torment of man that enriches the torturous shadows of military discipline.

• El Conde by Pablo Larraín

Venezia 80, all reviews of the most anticipated films at the Venice Film Festival

“El Conde” is to Pablo Larraín what “Pardo” is to Iñárritu: a decidedly free film in which the director revisits the bloody past of Pinochet’s Chile, making the dictator a literal monster, a bloodsucker.

Poor Things is a queer coming-of-age story concerned above all with exploring the sexual realm of Emma Stone’s Frankenstein Gallery: the story of a woman brought back to life and forced to start from scratch that is an alibi for an insightful socialite.
