    Lion d'or - Mostra de Venise 1959.

    Avec/Con Vittorio Gassman, Alberto Sordi, Bernard Blier, Silvana Mangano, Folco Lulli ...

    Oreste et Giovanni se retrouvent embarqus comme soldats durant la Grande Guerre sur le front italo-autrichien. Ils r-interprtent les ordres leur convenance (Giovanni tentera mme d'expliquer Bakounine aux autres mobiliss qu'il trouve trop respectueux de la hirarchie), ce qui les tire souvent d'affaire. Mais, petit petit, le tourbillon de la guerre les rattrape et leurs joyeuses aventures individuelles s'effacent sous la pluie d'obus...

    Il piantone romano Oreste Jacovacci ha promesso al coscritto milanese Giovanni Busacca di farlo riformare dietro compenso; ma Giovanni fatto abile e, ormai in divisa, cerca Oreste per dargli una lezione. Tuttavia quando si ritrovano, i due diventano amici e finiscono insieme a Tigliano, un piccolo paese nelle retrovie, dove attendono, di giorno in giorno, di essere mandati al fronte.

    (Vittorio Gassman and Alberto Sordi don ill-fitting military uniforms in this anecdotal Italian service comedy. They play a couple of World War I soldiers, adept at sidestepping duty and responsibility, but courageous to the core when in a pinch. The film strives for the boisterous feel of What Price Glory, but at 118 minutes the material wears rather thin. Still, the reputation of director Mario Monicelli helped this uneven production win a Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival. Originally released in Italy in 1959 as La Grande Guerra, The Great War was distributed in the U.S. two years later.)

    Letters from Iwo Jima

    Critically hailed as an instant classic, Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima is a masterwork of uncommon humanity and a harrowing, unforgettable indictment of the horrors of war. In an unprecedented demonstration of worldly citizenship, Eastwood (from a spare, tightly focused screenplay by first-time screenwriter Iris Yamashita) has crafted a truly Japanese film, with Japanese dialogue (with subtitles) and filmed in a contemplative Japanese style, serving as both complement and counterpoint to Eastwood's previously released companion film Flags of Our Fathers. Where the earlier film employed a complex non-linear structure and epic-scale production values to dramatize one of the bloodiest battles of World War II and its traumatic impact on American soldiers, Letters reveals the battle of Iwo Jima from the tunnel- and cave-dwelling perspective of the Japanese, hopelessly outnumbered, deprived of reinforcements, and doomed to die in inevitable defeat. While maintaining many of the traditions of the conventional war drama, Eastwood extends his sympathetic touch to humanize "the enemy," revealing the internal and external conflicts of soldiers and officers alike, forced by circumstance to sacrifice themselves or defend their honor against insurmountable odds. From the weary reluctance of a young recruit named Saigo (Kazunari Ninomiya) to the dignified yet desperately anguished strategy of Japanese commander Tadamichi Kuribayashi (played by Oscar-nominated The Last Samurai costar Ken Watanabe), whose letters home inspired the film's title and present-day framing device, Letters from Iwo Jima (which conveys the bleakness of battle through a near-total absence of color) steadfastly avoids the glorification of war while paying honorable tribute to ill-fated men who can only dream of the comforts of home. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

    SAL, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM (1975) - (The Criterion Collection - #017) [2 DVD9s] [2008]
    A Film by Pier Paolo Pasolini
    Classic/Drama/War | 1.85:1 | Color | Italian & English Dolby Digital 1.0 | English Subtitles | 112 min.
    2 Full Original Dual-Layer DVD Images (.ISO) + 300dpi HQ Scans = 14.8 GBs | 200MB RARs | Rapidshare

    Pier Paolo Pasolini’s notorious final film, Sal, or The 120 Days of Sodom, has been called nauseating, shocking, depraved, pornographic . . . it’s also a masterpiece. The controversial poet, novelist, and filmmaker’s transposition of the Marquis de Sade’s eighteenth-century opus of torture and degradation to 1944 Fascist Italy remains one of the most passionately debated films of all time, a thought-provoking inquiry into the political, social, and sexual dynamics that define the world we live in.

    D-Day to Berlin [Documentary]

     Published: 7 November 2009  Comments: (0)

    D-Day to Berlin [Documentary] | 2,4 GB
    Studio: BBC Warner | ASIN: B00097DY5C | Run Time: 150 minutes

    The collective military operations from D-Day to the final assault on Germany represent one of the greatest military offensives ever. D-Day to Berlin follows the Allies' remarkable progress from the beaches of Normandy to their ultimate victory just eleven months later. The celebration of Europe's liberation from the Nazis was tempered only by the chill of Stalin's new domination, truly making this the campaign that shaped the future of Europe. Using a testimony-driven format, this three-part series uses accounts of British, American and German soldiers, as well as archive footage, to bring the savage battlefields to life once more.
