Stealing Beauty ** (1995, Liv Tyler, Joseph Fiennes) – Classic Movie Review 1501
Co-writer/director Bernardo Bertolucci’s gorgeous-looking but mostly rather obnoxious 1995 Italian-holiday drama has a pretty specious script that largely defeats an exceptionally talented, very special cast. Liv Tyler stars as a pubescent young American girl, 19-year-old Lucy […]

The Golden Bowl **** (Nick Nolte, Uma Thurman, Jeremy Northam, Kate Beckinsale) – Classic Film Review 1217
Nick Nolte is brilliant in producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory’s splendid, intense, beautifully realised 2000 film version of the classic novel by Henry James. What tangled webs we weave! A poverty-stricken Italian, Prince […]
Bicycle Thieves [Ladri di Biciclette] ***** (1948, Lamberto Maggiorani, Enzo Staiola, Lianella Carell) – Classic Movie Review 1046
Director Vittorio De Sica’s revered Italian classic of neo-realist cinema about a poor, unemployed Roman man (Lamberto Maggiorani) and his precious bike was voted the most outstanding foreign language film at the 1950 Oscars. It […]
