Review of

Francesca Arca

A lucid and well shot film. But we certainly don't learn that Eastwood knows about him in the control room now. On the other hand he doesn't have even a shred of the poetry of "Letters from Iwo Jima". The absurdity of the war comes out at the end but there is perhaps a pinch of nationalist complacency too much. Read all

Review of

Emiliano Baglio

There are the sheep, that is, most of us, defenseless and weak beings; there are the wolves, ready to tear us to pieces and then there are the sheepdogs born to defend the flock from predators. There is the good, embodied by the sniper Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) and the evil represented by the Islamic terrorists. Apparently, never like in American Sniper Clint Eastwood's vision appeared so schematic and Manichean. Then one thinks about it for a moment and realizes that deep down it has always been like this, the great American director and actor has always hidden the complexity of his thoughts behind an apparent simplicity in which the world appears rigidly divided in two; black and white; right and wrong. However this time, perhaps due to the patriotic waving of American flags, at least in Italy a ridiculous and anachronistic discussion has been opened, fought through reviews, on Eastwood's alleged fascism. The quality of the film has thus fallen into second floor, when it has not been completely forgotten. Then it will be best to say it loud and clear, American Sniper is, together with The Hurt Locker by Kathryn Bigelow, the best war film of recent years. It is part of that trend of films that depict the horror of conflicts whose relatives are titles such as Apocalypse Now (Coppola) or The Deer Hunter (Cimino) and perhaps its noble father is Stanley Kucrick's Full Metal Jacket. American Sniper has the breath slow and controlled of a sniper stationed on a roof, it has the solid and classic cut that only a man who has always loved cinema like Eastwood can have. He doesn't give in to the hand-held camera, everything is always clear and legible, even when our heroes flee in a sandstorm you always understand what's happening, you know the location of Read all

His pinpoint accuracy not only saves countless lives but also makes him a prime target of insurgents.
