Copkiller (1983) [Movie] WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
Copkiller
director: Roberto Faenza actor: Harvey Keitel
other title: 条子杀手 / l'assassino dei poliziotti
This gritty and powerful police thriller is a classic stand-alone independent film. With good performances from Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Bad Lieutenant) and John Lydon (former Sex Pistols frontman), Corrupt really is a one-off. As the film progresses, Leo Smith (Lydon) and Lieutenant Fred O'Connor (Keitel) engage in a vicious and engrossing psychological battle of wills in a sadistic game where they are both dependent on each other. As for the Director, Faezna's direction seems as good as any of the excellent Italian films of the day, effortlessly moving from smooth exterior compositions to the angular perfection of the prison-like apartment. BAFTA award winning Ennio Morricone reinforces this precision with an excellent score full of mechanical percussion mixed with a whispy guitar lead which underscores the foreign presence of Lydon. Music plays a very important role in Corrupt, especially the strange country music track "Tchaikovsky's Destruction" which is played throughout the entire film to emphasise the changes occurring to the characters.

Hitler: The Last Ten Days (1973) [Movie] Douban
Hitler: The Last Ten Days
other title: 希特勒的最后十日 / Gli ultimi 10 giorni di Hitler
Hitler: The Last Ten Days is a 1973 film depicting the days leading up to Adolf Hitler's suicide. It stars Alec Guinness and Simon Ward. The original music score was composed by Mischa Spoliansky.
Guinness portrays Hitler with gusto, whereas in real life, Hitler spent his last days drugged and brooding.
Hitler's birthday party is pictured as festive. In real life, Hitler had to be heavily sedated simply to make an appearance. Also, the movie does not show Albert Speer, Hermann Göring or Heinrich Himmler, who also showed up for the party.
Hitler spends time playing with his wooden model of Germania in the bunker, wishing Albert Speer were with him. The real bunker did not hold this wooden model, and Speer actually did visit him several times.
Hitler is shown being intimate with Eva Braun. In real life, he barely spent any time with her at all in the bunker.
Hitler is depicted as having shot himself almost on a whim, after Eva Braun takes poison to spite him. In reality, Hitler and Braun planned their suicides and had a formal "exit scene".

La Grande Strada Azzurra
director: 吉洛·彭泰科沃 / Maleno Malenotti actor: 伊夫·蒙当 / 阿莉达·瓦利
other title: 蔚蓝大路 / La Grande Strada Azzurra
The remarkable debut feature directed by Gillo Pontecorvo, famed for THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS and BURN!, in a beautiful, newly restored version thanks to the efforts of Jonathan Demme, Dustin Hoffman and Milestone Film. Set in a fishing village off Italy's Dalmatian coast, under a brilliant, turquoise sky, Yves Montand plays Squarcio, a rogue fisherman who manages to feed his family (his wife played by the exquisite Alida Valli) by tossing bombs into the water to kill the maximum number of fish. When a new chief of police puts Squarcio's illegal and dangerous exploits under closer scrutiny, his livelihood is threatened. Montand's unforgettable, complex character is part working-class hero, part macho-cowboy, part 1950's sex symbol at sea.

The dispirited Pascal heads to Monte Carlo, accruing a fortune and also assuming the identity of a less fortunate gambler who killed himself.
