Island Spirits by Martin McDonagh (2022)
On Disney+, Mediaset Infinity, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Rakuten TV
In a rural village on an Irish island, about a hundred years ago. A civil war rages in the distance. Colm (Brendan Gleeson) and Padraic (Colin Farrell) were lifelong friends. One day, the first tells the second that he is no longer going to talk to him and that his former friend will have to do the same. The second asks for an explanation, but the other does not seem to listen to the arguments. Indeed, despite his insistence, Colm makes it clear to Padraic that if he continues to talk to him, he will cut off his finger on his hand with every word addressed to him. Soon it will move from words to deeds …
Funny, eccentric, exciting and poetic work. A metaphor (never a “manifesto”) of the promiscuity of hatred. Martin McDonagh (Three billboards in Ebbing, Missouri) explores once again the beauty, ugliness and dark folds of the “human beast”.
Volpi Cup Colin Farrell at the Venice Film Festival and Osella for Best Screenplay. Nine Oscar nominations and no awards.
Maigret by Patrice Leconte (2022)
On Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Rakuten TV, Google Play, eventive.org
Paris, 1950s. Inspector Maigret (Gerard Depardieu) is busy investigating the murder of an unnamed girl. Apparently, the young woman died from a series of stab wounds. No element allows her to be identified, neither her past nor her possible motive. In his research, the commissioner stumbles upon a young offender who closely resembles the victim in face and appearance. The meeting turns out to be the first step towards the truth, but it also awakens personal traumas from Maigret’s past…
From a novel Maigret and the Dead Girl (ed. Adelphi). Patricia Leconte (The Man from the Train) creates an essential and powerful work, like a story about Georges Simenon. There is a slow and growing development in the film, like a heavy and tired inspector in the center of the scene. Extraordinary Depardieu in one of his best recent interpretations. He often plays with alcohol-clouded eyes (Maigre’s indulgence in this tale in which he quits smoking).
Do not miss.
Armageddon Time – Apocalypse Time by James Gray (2022)
On Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Mediaset Infinity, Microsoft Store, Rakuten TV, Google Play
Queens, New York, 1980 Eleven-year-old Paul Graff (a good young man Banks Repeatlisten)) belongs to a family of Ukrainian Jews who emigrated to the United States.

When Paul is transferred to an expensive private school for the privileged, he will feel like he has lost his only peer friend…
After Kenneth BranaghBelfast) and Steven Spielberg (Fabelmans), an autobiographical account of the director’s childhood James Gray (Little Odessa, hosts of the night). Unlike the other two authors, Gray is not talking about “cinematic shocks” and cinephiles, but rather about his personal life preparation. In America, where Ronald Reagan is about to take office (next year), the distinction between rich and poor is getting more and more dire.
An American filmmaker manages to capture the faces, environments, identity and injustices of 1980s USA in a magnificent digital camera. An era that has affected our present …

First feature film by a documentary filmmaker James Abbruzzese it is a destabilizing and powerful portrait of some of today’s fringe figures. An illegal immigrant and an African guerrilla who will reappear as a ghost. These two seem to be mirror and at the same time opposite spirits. An intense, lively and disturbing first work. To a crazy soundtrack from the superstar of French electronic music Vitalik (Pascal Arbez-Nicolas).
“Pearl” by Tee West (2022)
On Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Microsoft Store, Google Play
We choose it among the “cinematic” titles of the year for its visual and aesthetic power, even if, unfortunately, it was never shown in theaters – in Italy -.
Presented out of competition at the Venice Film Festival 2022, not shown in our theaters, it is now visible on various platforms. Pearl From Ti Westquirky and disturbing prequel to XA sexy horror story (2022).

The girl’s husband went to war in Europe and it is not known if he will ever return. Alone, stressed, and under the pressure of her insufferable mother’s orders, Pearl will begin to show multiple signs of mental imbalance, displaying a perverse pleasure in killing animals. When the opportunity presents itself to audition for the dance, the woman will regain the enthusiasm that seemed to have passed. However, the mother intends to forbid Pearl to participate …
A horror reimagining of classic cinema – not just musicals – of the past. From Stanley Donen’s Technicolor Cinema Wizard of Ozto the western wild trails by Ford. One of the most interesting, imaginative and imaginative films of 2022. Good, graceful and disturbing my goth as the main character.
Only for those who do not suffer from insomnia.
“Last Stop Before Chocolate Mountain” by Suzanne Della Sala (2022)
On ZaLabView
Italian documentary “d’America” is now visible exclusively on the Zalabview.org platform (upon registration) Last stop before chocolate mountain director Susanna Della Sala.

The name refers to the “Chocolate Mountains” in California.

Chan, usually serious, impeccable and meticulous, begins to feel a very strong attraction to Sun…
South Korean author Park Chanuk (old boy) creates a work inspired by the atmosphere of Hitchcock (a woman suspected of murder becomes an object of desire). Between melodrama and thriller, one of the most intense love movies of the season.
