I Vitelloni

Description

I Vitelloni is a 1953 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Federico Fellini. The film follows the lives of five young men in a small seaside town in Italy who are struggling to find their place in the world. The title "I Vitelloni" refers to the Italian term for "big calves" and is used to describe young men who are seen as aimless and lazy.

The film explores the themes of youth, maturity, and the transition to adulthood. The five main characters are all in their twenties and are dealing with various personal and societal pressures to grow up and take responsibility for their lives. The film is also a commentary on Italian society at the time, which was experiencing a post-war economic boom but was still struggling with traditional values and gender roles.

Overall, I Vitelloni is a poignant and humorous portrayal of the struggles of youth and the challenges of growing up. The film's themes of maturation and societal pressures are still relevant today, making it a timeless classic of Italian cinema. Fellini's masterful direction and the outstanding performances by the cast make I Vitelloni a must-see for fans of classic cinema.

An amusingly ridiculous black comedy "Seven Psychopaths" is a McDonagh's next masterpiece created in a black comedy genre. It tells the story about an author, Marty who is out of inspiration to finish his novel "Seven Psychopaths". Marty is played by an Irish actor, Collin Farrell who may be known to you by his roles in Minority Report (2002), In Bruges (2008) and Total Recall (2012). His friend Billy tries his best to help Marty to finish writing the book "inspiring" him by getting into the troubles, constantly. Billy is portrayed by Sam Rockwell, who is known to you as Sam Bell from Moon (2009) and Kenneth Waters from Conviction (both are serious roles in the serious films with lots of awards and nominations). Billy is a pure criminal with sadistic attitudes, but he is lovely one. Besides his kind heart, he has a crime-partner Hans. This next psychopath is played by Christopher Walken. This great American actor needs no introduction – you know his awesome roles in Kill the Irishman (2012), Hairspray (2007) and Man of the Year (2006). The next psychopath is Charlie (portrayed by Woodrow Tracy "Woody" Harrelson: No Country for Old Men, The Messenger, Defendor, Zombieland). His beloved dog, a rare Shih Tzu was kidnapped by Billy and Hans, and all the movie's action unfolds in this pivotal point. There we meet Angela, played by the "Bond Girl" Olga Kurylenko, Kaya (Abbie Cornish) and Zachariah (Tom Waits) – the last two of the "Seven Psychopaths".
