Filmski kotiček, 20. oktober 2016 ― Slo naslov: -  Država: ZDA Leto: 2015 Dolžina: 110',  Imdb Žanri: Biografija, Drama    Slo recenzija: - Režija: Noah Baumbach, Jake Paltrow Scenarij: Noah Baumbach, Jake Paltrow Igrajo: Brian De Palma [ENG] One of the most talented, influential and iconoclastic filmmakers of all time, Brian De Palma started his career in the 1960s. It has included such acclaimed and diverse films as Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Scarface, The Untouchables, Carlito's Way and Mission: Impossible. In this lively and unexpectedly moving documentary, directors Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow engage in a personal and candid discussion with De Palma, exploring not only his life and work but also his singular approach to the craft of filmmaking. Touching on his remarkable experiences navigating the film business, from his early days as the bad boy of New Hollywood to his more recent years as a respected veteran of the field, what emerges is a funny and incisive portrait of a truly one-of-a-kind artist. It's an exhilarating look at the last 50 years of film through the eyes of someone who's truly seen it all.  ******************* A very basic formula, executed in bare-bones fashion, works a treat because this set of interviews with Brian De Palma on his life and films is so revealing, and entertaining, that little is needed here other than the man, his opinions and some telling illustrations.

Njegovo življenje gre poslej le še navzdol, ko se zaplete s krajevnim sleparjem Webbom, ki preži na mestne upokojence. James vzame pod svoje okrilje dobronamerni, pošteni sosed, vendar tudi vojska angelov varuhov ne bi mogla odvrniti Webba, ki ima nekatere lastne težave.

[Cinemax][ENG] Kicked out of college, James visits Grams, his only remaining family, who dies shortly after his arrival. He finds consolation in the company of Grams’ neighbor, Dot, a dance teacher, as he figures out his next move. While settling Grams’ affairs, James learns she’s been the victim of the “grandparent scam” in which someone posing as James has been slowly bilking her out of thousands. But before James can go looking for the culprit, he shows up at the front door, desperate for money. The culprit, Webb, has his own problems in the form of Duane, who has ordered Webb to pay an old debt or else. And if Webb can’t get it from Grams, James will have to do – no matter who stands in his way. ************* Writer-director Alex R. Johnson's feature debut uses Southern Gothic simmer to heat up what is otherwise a typical gun-and-bag-of-money crime tale, though Hébert's terrifyingly electric performance keeps the heat turne
