A spasso con Daisy / 19897.2197 voti

Tra il 1953 e i primi anni Settanta, in Georgia, si sviluppa il rapporto tra una vecchia, bizzosa e burbera signora ebrea e il suo autista di colore, rapporto tra padrona riluttante e servitore saggio che si trasforma in un'amicizia solidale. In filigrana al racconto s'iscrive, con delicatezza, un discorso sul razzismo e sulle minoranze etniche negli USA. Pur con un pizzico di melassa sentimentale, scritto da Alfred Uhry che adattò una sua pièce (premio Pulitzer), è un buon film, intelligente, accurato. Ebbe 9 nomination e 4 Oscar (film, attrice protagonista, sceneggiatura e trucco per l'italiano Manlio Ronchetti). I 2 protagonisti sono strepitosi, D. Aykroyd sorprende con una recitazione sopraffina sotto le righe. J. Tandy (1909-94) ebbe l'Oscar a 80 anni.

Poulenc's The Human Voice / Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle / 2018

Running through Bartók’s disenchanted tale, whose haunting music was initially condemned as unplayable, and the expression of despair in Poulenc’s monologue, the director Krzysztof Warlikowski perceives a shared dramatic thread, a shared feminine consciousness and a shared sense of imprisonment and suffocation: for the woman who penetrates the confines of Bluebeard’s castle and Elle, the woman who clings to a telephone conversation with a man as the only thing worth living for, are condemned to share the same fate. And this man she speaks to, does he really exist? Unless the director has interpreted Cocteau’s words to the letter and the telephone has become a “terrifying weapon that leaves no trace, makes no noise”…
