with 8,000 euro per theatre, SAL was the movie with better balance of tickets sold per theatre in its first weekend. For comparison, that amount of money per theatre is usually made by blockbusters during christmas holidays... To have an idea, in Rome, the capital city SAL was screened on just 2 theatres In my hometown Florence was just in 1 one... source in italian

well sssoul you know Scorsese and all his movies where people is doing double cross? Have you seen the departed? or characters that have double lives (aviator) or lives pushed by diverging and contradictory desires and forces (mean streets, goodfellas) or an entire "double" environment (casino) so here you have a fictitious documentary, a movie with a double face. On the one hand an

i wanna see it again i too had the impression that there was a lot less eye on the interaction than PR talks about. Of course there's more of it than in recent recordings (i am always comparing it with olympia on FF because i think is the more similar document) but still it is hard to say that it is a big issue of the movie trying to understand THe feeling of "being there" is c

sssoul i must have missed where cc says scorsese is a mester of authenticity but anyway in my view there can be no duality at all between truth and fiction in film take italian neorealism. that is a highly stylized way to narrate a real place and time (italy after war) i think that in film you can achieve in communicate the truth of something not only just switching on a still camera and roll

Quotecc maumau, did Pasolini coin this term in italian to refer to prose writing or to film? I'm a fan of his movies but haven't read any of his fiction or poetry, which I understand are also acclaimed. If i remember correctly he translated the term in the context of his film theory of the "cinema di poesia" (cinema of the poetry) which aimed basically to subvert classic nar

just got me this, ultimately and in a way i cant figure out completely or even disturbing to me, scorsese has done with this movie what i really expected him to do: show a truth about the band thru layers of "fiction fakeness and lies"

yes sssoul i am quite breathless, i mean, if there's one thing i cant be with the stones is detached anyway i think a lot of what has been posted here shine alot of light on the movie i am really impressed about the gap i felt between the band and the audience which is i think the effect of the "setting up". think of olympia in 4flicks which is the recent filmed performance more

you know Doxa, to me me you're nick is telling. makes me think at ancient greece and classic philosophy when doxa (public opinion) was opposed to the aletheia (Truth). At the times of Socrates, the Sophistes were those philosophers famous for trying to pass off doxa as Truth. NB Socrates revolution in philosophy was to substitute the logos (as in dialogue) to both aletheia and doxa. That is

since i got the real thing a couple of days ago and gave it a lot of listen i might add a few notes on my first review the strength of it is sure the unity of the performance and the way the sound is produced (glimmers and clearmountain as i see, no was...) after many spins JMI and Somegirls stand out, TD is surprisingly good at this point of its overplayedness.

interesting point. i think the change is mainly a question of age and managing his voice strenght in the process. another thing is the "choregraphization" of his body performance which i think started after the steel tour and he intended it as a way to "be seen" from long distance in big stadium shows.
