Elio Petri

With Gian Maria Volonte, Florinda Bolkan, Gianni Santuccio

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion is one of the few Italian films to have won a splendid double: Prinx the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and the Academy Award as best foreign film, obtained mainly through collaboration with Ugo Pirro, Elio Petri, and Gian Maria Volonte. And 'one of the most tragic events film ever made in Italy in the last six thousand years.

The protagonist, the new head of the homicide section of Rome, is afflicted by a strange kind of obsession, bordering on neurosis: he wants to test the extent to which its position can guarantee impunity before the eyes of the law. The film opens with a crime against a young and beautiful prostitute with whom he spent long nights of pleasure when he was not in service. Just committed the fact, however, has a singular behavior to say the least: leave obvious evidence of its passage at the crime scene (fingerprints, tie threads of fabric, etc ...), then calls the police and report the murder. Back in Central, will monitor the case, the investigation was heavily manipulated, bring on the trail of an innocent child: Anthony Pace, alleged member of a subversive political movement.

In the end, when the truth is coming to the surface, something unexpected happens. Of course, we will certainly ruin the surprise for us.

Rather, it is interesting to note that claimed the same in a Petri wrote years ago appeared in The adventurous history of Italian cinema, than the perennial relevance of a film like Investigation of a Citizen above suspicion, because appears to relate to a common part to all of us : "I believe that if Survey still gets approval it is because there is something about our inner selves. Each has its share of power and tends to pursue it in an authoritarian manner, because one of us is drawn into a repressive society that constantly demand a paternal presence, making all of us children. "

Investigation of a Citizen above all suspicion is the film that this week we have chosen for you, and you can not miss it for anything in the world. E 'number 575 of the video library of Daedalus.

Taking Diazepam Before Dental Appointment

Monologues: Margaretha Krook aka Dr.

The second chapter of the book Monologues is based on a scene Person, experimental film by Ingmar Bergman, 1966, and starring in the role of Dr. Margaretha Krook a Swedish psychiatric hospital.

Actress Elizabeth Volger, played by Liv Ullmann, was hysterical on stage during the performance of 'Elektra : You won by a sudden inexplicable silence that led her to abandon the work and give to relations with others. Hospitalized to ascertain his state of health, is completely healthy both physically and mentally. The doctor who understands the care of the voluntary nature of the conduct of Elizabeth, and turns to the woman in this way:

Did not think you understand? You chase a dream in despair, this is your punishment. You want to be, do not seem to be. Being in every moment conscious of you, and alert. At the same time you realize the abyss that separates what you are for others to what you are for yourself. Causes almost a sense of vertigo fear of being discovered, right? Of being laid bare, exposed, restored to its proper limits. As each word is a lie, any false gesture, every smile a grimace, which is the most difficult role? Suicide? But no, it would be undignified, better to take refuge in the stillness, in silence, you avoid having to lie. Or get away from life, so no need to act, show a fake face and gesturing desired. Do not you think? This is what we believe. But do not just hide, because you see life manifests itself in many different ways, and it is impossible not to react. Nobody cares whether your reactions are true or false, sincere or lying, the only problem is traced to the theater major, and perhaps not even there. I understand you Elisabeth, I understand your silence, that your immobility, and because you have raised to your way of life absurd apathy. I understand, and almost admire you. In my opinion you should continue to play your part to the end, until it loses all interest and leave the way you are used to doing, moving from one role to another.

Here, side by side, the monologue in the original language and dubbed in Italian.

Nordic Walking Thailand

Film of the week: Iron 3 - The Empty House


of Kim Ki Duk

with Jae Hee and Lee Seoung-yeon

There are people who live temporarily other people's houses when the owners are: caring for them, put things out of place, straighten crooked pictures. Then they go and seek another home to "revive". From villas to any private housing that is home to undergo small improvements. These are people who do not communicate to rely on verbal language, it does not feel special need. Are expressed in concrete actions, small gestures, looks, and thanks to these elements can partly meet, and be closer.

The other, the characters revolving around the story, they talk a lot and often do not understand, make noise, move and fight. Problems arise when the interference between the two worlds are becoming more frequent and pronounced, when the second burst with all its violence in the first.

It 's very nice to see what kind of solution they can find Sun-Hwa and Tae-Suk at the end of the film, to secure markets and peaceful life behind an invisible world that is losing the ability to see portions of reality. Lucky them.

Iron 3 proposes a kind of acting that can affect all of us who care about this kind of language. And 'the movie that we will recommend this week. E 'number 443 of the video library of Daedalus.

Monologues : Toni Servillo Giulio Andreotti

Beside Film of the week, today's blog Daedalus opens Monologues, a new book that aims to raise the monologues in our opinion the most significant in the history of cinema and theater available online. It 's also a way to suggest ideas to work on during the year when you need to have a monologue ready to be tested in class, or simply to keep them in mind in view of the feared final hearings in June and September. And most importantly, for the specimens in the casting.

The first monologue that we want to remember here is from a very famous film, Il Divo by Paolo Sorrentino, which maybe some of you have not yet seen (and then do it immediately, what are you waiting!), But which surely all that to you heard. And 'the response of the film to shady deals made by Andreotti and his cronies during the second half of last century.

Now in its seventh term as President of the Council of Ministers, and the investigation of the judiciary, which build on the growing relationship between Julius and the Mafia, the character played by Toni Servillo, simulating a hypothetical dialogue with the wife Livia, finds the courage to confess their sins in private. However, there seems to regret it, not at all.

Here is the text of the monologue:

Livia, your eyes are full that struck me one afternoon went to the Verano cemetery, we walked and I chose that place for singles to ask her in marriage, remember? You know your eyes filled with clean, beautiful and enchanting they did not know they do not know and do not know and have no idea. They have no idea of \u200b\u200bthe ravages that power must commit to ensure the welfare and development of the country. For too long the power was not me. The monstrous, unspeakable contradiction: to perpetuate the evil to ensure the good. The contradiction monstrous that makes me a cynical and incomprehensible for you, your eyes full, clean and enchanted not know the direct or indirect responsibility for the massacres that took place in Italy from 1969 to 1984 and who had died and 208 to be precise 817 wounded. To all the families of the victims I tell you, I confess it was also my fault, my fault, my greatest fault. I say this even if you do not need. The massacres in order to destabilize the country, causing terror, to isolate the extreme political parties, to strengthen the centrist parties such as the DC. Have adopted the strategy of tension: it would be more correct to say the strategy of survival. Roberto, Michael, George, Carlo Alberto, Aldo, vocation or necessity, all but diehard fans of the truth, all ready to explode bombs which were defused with the final silence. Everyone to think that truth is the right thing and instead it is the end of the world! We can not allow the end of the world in the name of a good thing! We have a mandate from us, a divine mandate! We must love God so much to understand how necessary evil for good. God knows this, and I know myself.
