A DIFFERENT KIND OF MOVIE.......2007-05-10

THIS IS REALLY A WEIRD MOVIE!IT CERTAINLY IS DIFFERENT.IT'S NOTHING AT ALL WHAT YOU EXPECT IT TO BE LIKE.YOU'LL BE SURPRISED.YOU CAN'T HELP BUT KEEP WATCHING IT BECAUSE IT'S SO STRANGE-YOU WANT TO KNOW WATS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.

maybe baby.......2007-01-13

as a strange curio this film works rather well. it plays like a tv movie even though it was supposedly a feature film release. a good cast of actresses come togather for this tale. anjanette comer,ruth roman,marianne hill. the movie has an eerie feel to it, leaving you a little uncomfortable at times. dont want to give any of the plot away except to say the baby.....isn't. some good suspense. not a horror movie. so for good old b movie fun the baby will get you rattled.

Baby.A classic........2006-11-03

I saw this film years ago and it left so many memories in my head.I tried for years to track it down.What didnt help my search was the misguided belief that Joan Crawford was the mother of Baby.A chance stumble upon the name of Ruth Roman Threw this baby(pardon the pun)to light.It is a bizarre and truly original movie.I prize my dvd collection and have over 2,000 titles,all original,with so many cinema classics from Blade runner to The Godfather to the Big Lebowski....but I can confirm that this movie,for its sheer originality and Ruth Roman,will sit proudly alongside them.
The dvd itself has no menu..it just starts straight into the opening credits.But the image quality is good as is the sound.Get the movie and enjoy it with friends or by yourself and it certainly will leave its mark.Its a coup getting it.Rock on Baby.

Goo goo.......2006-07-15

A very strange film about a seemingly (physcially) normal adult male who has the mentality of a baby - he's looked after by his mother and two sisters who treat him as a baby.

Then a social worker takes an interest in the case. She has certain 'designs' on him, but not like one of his sisters who casually gets in his cot one evening for a bit of a quickie - obviously he's all adult physically - but this scene is not very explicit and rather quick.

Entertaining French Foreign Legion Western.......2006-03-30

The fort in FORT ALGIERS is like a fort in any American western, however, this time it has been transplanted to Algiers, with the French Foreign Legion as the cavalry saving the day. Cliches like bullets fly left and right, but it is still fun to see oily smooth villain Raymond Burr (vintage 1953) and lovely singer/spy Yvonne De Carlo in action. An entertaining 76 minutes, directed by one of the most capable, but often overlooked Hollywood contract directors of B westerns, Lesley Selander. Selander's crowning achievements, among numerous lower budget films, in my opinion, are the two B+ Rod Cameron westerns: PANHANDLE (1948) and STAMPEDE (1949).
I will bestow 3 stars upon FORT ALGIERS for entertainment value, but must absolutely insist on adding another star for the pristine pictorial quality of the DVD. Geneon has released a flawless black and white print, clean and sharp. Even Criterion could not have done better. The disc has no extras, but for the condition and low price, FORT ALGIERS is a B movie treasure.

John Cassavetes's long, free-form drama is best appreciated as a good showcase for Gena Rowlands, playing a woman whose sanity literally appears to be shattering as different aspects of her personality eclipse others at various times. Peter Falk plays her struggling, blue-collar husband, trying to understand the phenomenon and sometimes losing his patience. As with most of Cassavetes's works as a director, one can't help but find one's attention drifting in and out (especially at two and a half hours), but Rowland's performance is a key reason the film has been declared a "national treasure" by the Library of Congress. --Tom Keogh

Description

A tough-minded, moving film about a working-class housewife's mental breakdown caused by imposed social rules. This insightful study of sexual politics earned both Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes an Oscar nomination. Gena Rowlands, Peter Falk, and Matthew Cassel.

Courageous and Uncompromising Film.......2007-04-28

This movie is a breakthrough - courageous and uncompromising view at the family and at the marriage where both spouses love each other deeply but they are both not well, they don't know how communicate when somebody else present, even their own children. They could be happy on the deserted island but not surrounded by friends and families. I was fascinated by both, Peter Falk's and Gena Rowlands' performances. She looked like a little girl, trapped in a woman's body - confused, insecure, listening to what is inside of her. When she said to her children, "I hope that you will never grow up", she meant it because she never felt comfortable as a grown up. I could not take my yes off Rowlands. Her performance is on par with the best study of nervous breakdown I've seen, and this is Liv Ullmann in Bergman's "Face to Face".

Peter Falks was also a revelation - I love him as Lt. Columbo in the TV series but he is a completely different character here; in a way, he is as mentally unbalanced as his wife is. The fact that he loves her but never hesitates to abuse her makes him terrifying - you never know how he will act in the next moment, and he does not know himself. Directing and writing are absolutely first class, and I am very exited to see more films by John Cassavetes, the Godfather of American Independent film-making and a father of American "New Wave"

4.5/5

Absolutely Unforgettable.......2007-04-07

I think the director hit the bullseye here.

Not co-incidentally the documentary "A Decade Under the Influence" was named after this film--showcasing those renegade filmmakers of the 1970s who defied Hollywood in their portrayal of realistic, sympathethic characters and the everyday living room dramas encasing them.

Gena Rowlands in her tour-de-force performace as the Woman Under the Influence, implied insantiy, but truthfully, just trying to function in the world around her--her blue collar foreman husband, her children whom she adores just short of pathology, and the enclosure of her housewife home.

it doesn't matter, at least to me, what drives her off the edge, just watch Gena Rowlands having that marvelous breakdown in her living room which we all deserve to have, fighting off invisible demons, while her dimwitted husband tries to deal with the unraveling of his wife. "Now don't go crazy on me" he reasons, while she just fights and lashes out against mental illness demons that seem to be coming in closer and closet to her physical space. See it and you will never, ever forget her piece of acting.

It's one of the greatest, most harrowing pieces of cinema I've ever seen. It's a slowbuild up, and the raison d'etre for it happens right under your nose. It speaks to the insanity of the times--a woman trying so hard to --again Im trying to rationalze what's happening here, but truthfully, you just have to see the film for yourself and see what's going and maybe make up your own mind,.

I see a complexity in the human spirit, and a challenge of wills, between the rational and the unrational,
all brought forth by Ms. Rowland. There's more to chew on and digest, but I suggest this movie for
its acting alone. I've never forgotten it and may write more on it here, but it's just one of those things that stands alone in time. Thank God this movie will never be remade, because it just wouldn't make any sense now but also for the very reason that the Mabel role belongs to no-one else than Gena Rowlands and Gena Rowlands alone.

Worth Seeing.......2006-11-16

The relationship between Mabel and Nick is the heart of the film. Just when you think Falk is playing Nick as the ever-suffering patient husband, he shows the character to be much more complex. Rowlands as Mabel is even better - there isn't a facial expression or mannerism that's wasted. Her longing to connect with other people is almost painful to watch. Although several of Mabel's actions strongly imply mental illness, it's fascinating to think about the fine line between appropriate and inappropriate behavior among the characters. Why is Mabel's Swan Lake routine any crazier than the guys who burst into song at the dinner table? Why is her after-school party any crazier than the trip to the beach? I think it's too simplistic to just say it's sexism. Much more subtle, often unspoken rules and boundaries seem to be in play. I also appreciated Cassavetes's refusal to romanticize working class life. I know first-hand that there's warmth and humor and devotion to family, but often there's also a particular kind of brutality, close-mindedness, and helplessness that can deeply damage the lives of people who have to make a living out of their sweat.

An American Masterpiece.......2006-07-06

There's not much else to say about Cassvetes' film other than it's a masterpiece of the dramatic arts. Unrelenting and fascinating, it depicts a young wife's descent into madness. It's a bitter slice of life, but it's also exactly that: life captured in all its pain and glory through artistry of the highest order. Gena Rowland's performance is probably one of the finest ever captured on film. If you enjoy this film, I also recommend tracking down "The Pumpkin Eater" starring Anne Bancroft - a similar film of a woman driven to breakdown by the cruel informalities of what we call love. Handled with sleek overtones of British filmmaking during the 60s, it may stand as a counterpoint to the gritty reality of America's great "Woman Under the Influence."

Has Cassavetes ever watched a Cassavetes film?.......2006-04-06

Mabel is suffering a mental breakdown. This movie follows her disturbance, her family dealing with it, and her subsequent return in order to show an unconventional and more true-to-life account of mental image. A lot of it is claustrophobic and irritating, but it's one of those movies of which one can't deny its powers.

Now I appreciate Cassavetes' approach to cinema, but I just can't like it, since a large part of it seems directly produced to be completely unlikeable. This movie clocks in to about two and a half hours, a long feature even for a typical film, but as it's mostly long scenes of uncomfortable reactions, it gets a little hard to take at points. And near the end, when the husband guy is shouting, "God I could kill you, I'm going to kill you!" I believe others could stand with me when I say that every bone in my body wished he would kill someone or someone would die just so that some form of change, closure, or denouement could occur. No such luck, but that's the point, isn't it? I like Faces a lot better, but this one I think is a lot more remarkably structured. It seems almost as if it doesn't have a particular reason to end, just ending whenever, but the fact that it's split into very long, distinctive scenes (something like five or six of them) helps to realize that this film works a lot in real-time, showing domestic issues that tragically go on just about as long as we spend watching them... longer, actually, but please, let's not encourage him! Let's face it. There is NO entertainment value in it, there is little compelling about it, and it's about as nice to watch as sticking pins in your eyes... and yet, it's still a good movie. I just can't help but wonder if Cassavetes has ever watched one of his own films.

Extremely important film, more relevant today........2003-10-17

This is an extremely important film about a fine musician whose career was unjustly curtailed only because she was a woman. People may think that the situation is better today, however it is not. None of the top orchestras in the United States has a female music director.

The Lone Reviewer strikes again........2003-04-15

*Antonia: A Portrait of the Woman* is the second DVD I've reviewed this month which I've been the first to review. . .At any rate, *Antonia*, which I caught the other night on one of those artsy "indie" channels on cable, is REAL Reality-TV: it's an hour-long documentary about the first woman to ever conduct a symphony orchestra, Dr. Antonia Brico. Though technically directed by Jill Godmilow, she shares a "co-directed by" credit with singer/songwriter/pianist Judy Collins, who was tutored on piano by Brico back in the Fifties. Made in 1974, this classic little documentary (even nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar, if that means anything to you) is truly a case of one artist communing with another, as the movie's design illustrates: much of the film shows Brico simply chatting with Collins at the kitchen table in Brico's Denver home. It's amazing how much ground they cover, given the brief duration of the film. Brico describes her unhappy childhood with a spiritualist mother (little Antonia is told -- by Liszt from beyond the grave -- that she will be a great musician when she grows up), and her early career in classical music, which of course culminated in a conducting job for the Berlin Orchestra in 1929 -- one of the greatest orchestras during one of the greatest eras of classical performances. She pulled it off splendidly, became a worldwide sensation as a "Girl Conductor", put together an all-female symphony in New York with the help of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt . . . amazing accomplishments, one and all. However, it was inevitable that Brico should suffer the fate of all discoverers; i.e., obscurity in later life. By the time we meet her in early-Seventies Denver -- and in her early seventies herself --, she's bitter as hell, despite her naturally good-humored personality, about her status as an "oddity", whilst the then-Soviet Union was granting permanent conductorships to women conductors. In other words, her story is a legitimately feminist saga, back when the feminist struggle actually meant something . . . back when the females in the vanguard were actually brave and talented and worthy of a fair shot. This movie puts the whines and gripes of today's emasculating practitioners of "gender feminisim" in proper perspective. And to show that it's not all hype, Godmilow and Collins permit us to see Brico in action, as she conducts Denver's amateur symphony orchestra. The quite listenable music that she wrings from this motley collection of amateurs is testimony to the fact that Brico was the Real Deal, and deserved much more than ending up as a footnote in Gender Feminism Studies.

Rebecca DeMornay.......2007-04-05

This is one of my favorite movies from the 80s. Rebecca DeMornay is hot in this remake of the Roger Vadim 50s classic.

A Guilty Pleasure From My Twenties........2006-08-04

This movie isn't particularly good--it's a basic marriage of convenience and cheating tupperware party. It's still got great, funny moments even if it doesn't always make sense, but I wouldn't thumb my nose at it. I never saw the original nor, until looking up these reviews, did I even know there was one. Rebecca DeMornay is always beautiful, and her performance is actually quite hilarious in places. The situations are outrageous, and Vincent Spano is nice eye candy if not much else. Donovan Leitch's son also turns in a solid supporting role performance.

Sure, this movie is shallow, silly, raunchy, and totally 80s, but that's what makes it so much fun. A great guilty pleasure with a decent music sountrack, 80s movie buffs should really like this one, because it fits all the typical criteria.

Two words. Frank Langella........2006-05-08

This is one of those laughably bad movies where you find yourself wondering how much worse it can get, and then it gets worse. Rebecca DeMornay does her best to summon a this-is-how-twenty-and-thirty-something-guys-think-a-sexy-wild-chick-looks-when-she's-having-sex persona, but really, she doesn't bring one iota of sensuality to the character. For a movie that's supposed to be all about sex, overall it's curiously un-sexy. There is one reason, and one reason only to sit through (the unrated version of) this movie -- Frank Langella. On the pool table. In the hot tub. On the floor. The only true depiction of desire and passion in the entire silly thing. In those all too brief scenes, he makes Vincent Spano's character look like a colorless, bloodless, bumbling schoolkid (not too difficult to do considering Spano's acting job), and it's just one part of the lunacy of this thing that she goes home to him when she has the glorious, magnificent masculinity of Frank Langella offered to her for the night. Are you kidding me?? He is a peerless actor who must surely count this clunker among the what-was-I-thinking parts of his resume, but he gets ten stars for turning in the movie's only moments of real passion. He invests the word "wait" with more sensuality than the entire rest of the cast in the entire movie combined!

A sexy film.......2004-06-22

Man,is this a sexy film. Rebecca DeMornay is Robin,a paroled convict who forms a band with some people who answer an ad she placed(she's the lead singer and rhythm guitarist). Upon her release from jail she marries the handsome man who bails her out. So Robin begins her new life with her new husband Billy(Vincent Spano) and his young son,Timmy,from an earlier marriage. Handyman Billy has a younger brother who's a musician also. He also works as a sales clerk at a fast food restaurant(he was fired from the restaurant after failing to show up too many times). Billy and Robin had affairs with others during their marriage which never ended. Robin had sexual affairs with governor hopeful James Tiernan(Frank Langella). They shot pool together and Billy went bowling with another woman. After Billy an Robin engage in a sexual activity on a bed inside a museum,they're photographed by a patron. The photograph is brought to the attention of Robin's parole officer. Now Robin's about to go back to jail. Billy gets a lawyer and fights to the finish for Robin's revoked parole. James even admitted,"Miss Shay(Robin) is getting too dangerous for me.". So Robin and her band perform in a nightclub and she catches the eye of a male sex fiend. Jealous Billy beats the crap out of the sex fiend. So to keep the marriage alive,Billy plans to go to Robin's jail(Billy confessed to her that he murdered another woman). Awesome film!

Somewhere between a guilty pleasure and an underrated gem.......2003-07-13

If you can forget the whole remake thing, this is a somewhat involving movie, with interesting plot twists, a great performance by De Mornay, nice supporting performances, interesting if corny character development, a nice sound track, Vadim's strange but unique visual style and it's very sexy. What more do you want? I think as time goes on and a new generation stumbles on this flick free from the hype about it being a remake of a "classic" it will be appreciated more and more as a nice offbeat B movie melodrama with lots of sex, some nice humor and beautiful photography.
