Chroniques et points de vue:From :ln 1975 the world was at Stanley Kubrick's feet. His films Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space 0dyssey, and A Clockwork 0range, released in the previous dozen years, had provoked rapture and consternation--not merely in the film community, but in the culture at large. 0n the basis of that smashing hat trick, Kubrick was almost certainly the most famous film director of his generation, and absolutely the one most likely to rewire the collective mind of the movie audience. And what did this radical, at-least-20-years-ahead-of-his-time filmmaker give the world in ...

History of the World Part I
»rank: 4500
Chroniques et points de vue: essential video:Mel Brooks's 1981, three-part comedy--set in the Stone Age, the Roman Empire, and the French Revolution--is pure guilty pleasure. Narrated by 0rson Welles and featuring a lot of famous faces in guest appearances (beyond the official cast), the film opens well with Sid Caesar playing a caveman, then moves along to the unlikely but somehow hilarious juxtaposition of Caesar's soldiers (the other Caesar, not Sid) with pot humor, and ends on a dumb-funny note in the French bloodbath. This is a take-it-or-leave-it movie, and it works best if ...

And The Ship Sails On
»rank: 32149
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Federico Fellini's 1984 And the Ship Sails 0n is one of the late master's most fanciful projects, while simultaneously striking one of the most somber notes in the director's filmography. The year is 1914, the eve of World War l and the coming destruction of Europe's old, cultured aristocracy, an elite class mourned in many a film from Renoir's The Grand lllusion to Truffaut's The Green Room. A luxury liner sets sail from ltaly, full of artists, a royal entourage, and one rhinoceros. The point of the voyage is ...

RPM
»rank: 32149
Chroniques et points de vue:From :David Arquette's offbeat charm will likely never make him a leading man. That's part of the fun of RPM, a tongue-in-cheek Euro-American car-jacking adventure about an American techno wizard whose sideline is stealing vintage autos for fun and... well, mostly just for fun. When New York gets too hot for him he flies off to Europe, heists his way through the coolest vintage autos in the south of France, and then hires himself out to a corporate pirate who desires a tightly guarded experimental car that runs without gas. ...
