VHS Movie Reviews of Kaos [VHS]
Movie Review: AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautiful movie! A must see. I am so glad I got it. A classic.
Movie Review: Full-length original
Summary: 5 Stars
Just to correct the mistake by a previous reviewer, the DVD contains the full-length uncut 188-minute film. It is a brand new digitally-restored transfer made especially for the Koch Lorber Films DVD release and looks great.Movie Review: seem to be a butchered version of a masterpiece
Summary: 1 Stars
According to the product information on Amazon, this DVD lasts 105 minutes. It must be the butchered version of this more than three hour masterpiece. I hope I am wrong, for this is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have seen the shortened version in a theatre; it was sickening to realize how they had cut the heart out of some sequences. Movie Review: ONE OF THE MAJUSCULE ITALIAN FILMS OF THE DECADE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Few filmakers around the world have been able to transcript with such precision and profundity of spirit the legacy of Luigi Pirandello.
This film is composed by four stories of this monumental writer. And the final result could not be more fortunate. The bitter cynicism of some characters, the fragile human condition and the cosmic poetry were exposed with impeccable plasticity through a fluid camera work.
You should not miss for any reason, this emblematic and superb feat of the cinema.
Movie Review: Extremely Bizarre, but in a good way
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched Kaos last night for my Italian Culture class. There are 4 parts but the first 3 struck me particularly. The first one "L'otro Figlio" or "The Other Son" was a sad story but I really liked it. The main character for this segment, Mariagracia, gave a riveting performance.
The second story "Mal di Luna" or "Moon Sickness" is a werewolf story. This is where the movie starts to get a bit bizarre. Newlyweds Sidora and Bata live in the sicilian countryside and every full moon, Bata is enchanted by the moon and it rules him. He howls and barks like a wolf and it causes him great pain. Sidora totally freaks out and doesn't stand by him at all...
The third story "La Giara" or "The Jar" is extremely bizarre but I found it entertaining. This guy named Don Lollo who looks like what Mick Jagger would look like if he were an Italian man, acquires this huge clay jar that the town will put olive oil in. One night they come out and it's broken into 2 pieces. As a result, Don Lollo hires this eccentric potter to come fix this jar with his "magic glue" After a long series of events, the mad potter gets stuck inside the jar. It ends up being pretty funny...
All in all, I liked it. I think the editing between stories could've used a little work, but overall I thought the settings seemed very realistic. I really like the creative shots that the movie had. Most of the people seem like real sicilian people, not just random actors.
