What's your favorite Italian movie?

>>81134174
Also such a shame they didn't have the budget for the original vision which was the movie set in a alternate post ww2 where the Axis had won WW2.
Well at least we got to see some futurism

What did Dario mean by this?

I prefer the way people act and look in a lot of Italian movies probably because I am from southern europe.

I remember watching some italian black comedy

Main character was some shitposter who made up some bullshit story about how he went up some tower and starter shooting at the Germans

Anybody got any idea?

Futurism overload and cool uniforms.

>>81136193
the modern world is too polished and sophisticated to do a successful giallo.

gore porn in general feels a little played out too.

the Maniac remake is a really good throwback though. Hopefully that the newe Suspiria retains some of that supernatural noir.

>>81136635
>modern world

I never understood why they just don't set the movies in the 60-80s and be done with it. So they don't have to bother with the whole smartphone shit but eh

When these giallo flicks came out were they well reviewed or just considered trash?

also what are some good Italian Sci Fi films? Ive seen Star Crash

>>81136691
cause then it would be too obvious an imitation instead of trying to do something new and relevant.

Argento actually did some good stuff in the nineties though.

yeah one of my favourites. Currently writing about Antonioni and futurism and I had originally intended to look at the trilogy+this, but there's so much in Deserto Rosso that I'll probably just stick to it as a single case study
>>81134310
unironically fascism. They pumped a lot of money into the Italian film industry in the 20s and 30s which meant that there was infrastructure in place, plus lots of jobs and experience for the guys who would later become the neorealist generation and beyond.

>>81136826
Mean the horror genre as a whole. With cellphones left and right everywhere something like the original Halloween just doesn't work you know?

>>81136691
I like when they don't explain when the film is taking place so you don't ask to many questions (ex: Why don't they have cell phones) without it just being a retro flick

>>81136878

It was a British production and screams britbong shit all over it.

Not one of the best, but still really really fun and well made. One of the earliest Giallo's is in here, Boris Karloff in a beautifully shot wurdelack story and one hell of a creepy witch/ghost story.

Combine all that with the intro and outro scenes with Karloff, including pulling back to show the crew members running by him holding up branches as he sits on a fake horse to simulate horseback riding and it's one hell of a fun film.

Also, besides ones mentioned here "Torso" and "Mad Dogs" are great films.
