Does Winn Dixie Used Mercedes Trucks

Tommy - Ken Russell (1975) The Australian

(Id.)

seen on VHS in the original language with Italian subtitles.

Son of a soldier who died in the war witnessed the return home of the father, but unfortunately you will also assist the new mother's companion, which is outside the biological father. The shock of what will produce many problems in the tot. Become deaf and blind as well. growth will all until, by chance not regain your senses and become the leader of a sect, very useful to make money, but at least to attain enlightenment to his followers.

not a musical but a true rock opera with great music badged Who (which appartiane the concept). The story is a parable Christological, surprise, LSD and absolutely not predictable to the end, the basic concept which can escape, but the concepts that flutter in 2000 are well received.

Russell is a director who does not love you, because confusing, pretentious and excessive, in a word kitsch, yet this film is perfect. His brash style fits the mood and creates a rhythmic direction and never stops, focused on essential colors and shiny, with some remarkable inventions visual (on all the black cube for a head of the child, but also made the iron maiden syringes is not bad). Russell in questo film ha pure una fortuna, tutti gli eccessi o le cadute di stile (la cascata di fagioli e cioccolato che escono dalla tv; i pessimi effetti speciali quando Tommy corre; ecc…) sono facilmente imputabili agli anni ’70 e alle manie di quel decennio più che al cattivo gusto del regista.

PS: credo che in questo film ci siano più camei che attori: Clapton fa il reverendo, Elton John il campione di flipper, Jack Nicholson lo specialista, Tina Turner la splendida acid queen, ecc…
