'The Guys') I Vitelloni (rough trans. 'The Guys') look at their elders, see the sterile results of lives rendered bereft by tradition and "sacrifice", and naturally rebel, searching in easy hedonism for the happiness that has eluded their parents. Fellini's semi-autobiographical, second feature, shares many of the neo-realist traits of his peers, but plays tricks with them too. A bit of a forgotten masterpiece.https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/222https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/239Two sweet old spinster sisters have a habit of 'helping' afflicted old gentlemen. This marvellous black comedy sees Cary Grant returning home with his new bride to discover the insanities of his family. https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/239https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/259Repeat screening! Young lovers, Mory and Anta, dream of Paris and an escape from the dead-end clutches of Dakar, Senegal. Only when that dream becomes a tantalising reality do they realise that in pursuing their dream, a sacrifice must be made - a sacrifice far greater than either were expecting.https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/259https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/festival/25Star and Shadow welcomes HSFF, hot from their 4th annual stint at the ICA, Curzon Soho and Roxy cinemas in London, charging the filmscene with the rallying cry “Death to Short Film”.
