Quote:
New York, New York is a 1977 American musical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Mardik Martin and Earl Mac Rauch based on a story by Rauch. It is a musical tribute, featuring new songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb as well as jazz standards, to Scorsese’s home town of New York City, and stars Robert De Niro and Liza Minnelli as a pair of musicians and lovers. The story is “about a jazz saxophonist (De Niro) and a pop singer (Minnelli) who fall madly in love and marry”; however, the “saxophonist’s outrageously volatile personality places a continual strain on their relationship, and after they have a baby, their marriage crumbles”, even as their careers develop on separate paths. The film marked the final screen appearance of actor Jack Haley.

From Wikipedia:
“Gates to Paradise” is a 1968 film by Polish director Andrzej Wajda. The film is set in medieval France and is based on a story by Polish writer Jerzy Andrzejewski (1960) that seeks to expose the motives behind youthful religious zeal. It was entered into the 18th Berlin International Film Festival.

In 1212, a Children’s Crusade is launched after Jakob (John Fordyce) claims to have had a vision in which it is said that the innocence of children would be able to liberate Jerusalem. A monk (Lionel Stander), returning from Jerusalem, joins the crusade and hears the children’s confessions, gradually realizing that most of them are taking part not for religious, but for more worldly reasons, like rejected love.

Both Alexander (Mathieu Carrière) and Bianca (Pauline Challoner) are in love with Jakob. Alexander, who has learned that his adoptive father (and his lover), Count Ludwig (Ferdy Mayne), also a crusader, had killed Alexander’s Greek parents, is gleeful that Jakob himself is in love with the Count, whom he had met after the Count and Alexander had split after an argument. This allows Alexander to take revenge for the Count’s infidelity by telling his beloved Jakob about the Count’s recent demise by drowning in a river, watched by an unmoved Alexander.

Finally, it is revealed in Jakob’s confession that Jakob received the inspiration for the crusade not from God but from the Count, which means that the crusade must fail, since it is not by the will of God. However, the monk is unable to stop the children’s progression and is left behind.

The post Roman Polanski – Cul-de-sac (1966) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

What starts out as a beautiful peaceful afternoon in the Caribbean quickly turns ugly when a Cyclone takes down a Jet plane killing most of its passengers. Out at sea about the same time is a group of tourists on a boat who are now lost at sea due to the storm knocking out all their navigation devices. The group of tourist’s on the boat come across the survivors of the jet plane as they drift aimlessly out at sea. Tensions start to build between the survivors of the Cyclone as the supplies dwindle and the days go by with no hope of rescue in site. Will they be rescued before they turn on each other?

What starts out as your typical disaster movie quickly morphs into something more horrific. Director Rene Cardona Jr. deftly dissects the darker side of human nature and our need as species to survive at all costs. His direction is solid through out as one never gets the impression that this film was shot on a minuscule budget. The Cyclone storm sequence is expertly executed and it achieves a level of realism on par with Hollywood disaster films made around the same time. The film is beautifully photographed and the under water footage with the sharks despite being stock footage effortlessly fits in with the rest of the footage. The film moves along quickly and for such a simple premise there really is never a dull moment. The most freighting moments don’t happen during the storm or scenes with the sharks. The most disturbing moments take place on the boat aptly named the “Moby Dick” with the survivors of the Cyclone.

What starts off innocent enough when a few of the men kill one of the women’s dog for food soon turns into all you can eat buffet of the recently deceased survivors’. The performances for the most part are adequate with a few actors going a bit too far over the top. The shark attacks are not that convince and at times the flesh they carry in their mouths looks fake. Riz Ortolani supplies yet another solid score that has a distinct disco edge to it. Overall Cyclone is a thrilling adventure will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next.
