My newest philosophy video is fairly political and potentially interesting to a broader audience: Does Might Make Right?

I got inspired by reading a horrible interview with a so-called 'neo-realist' who was praising the foreign policy of the second Trump administration to review and dismantle this phrase.

Finally watched Vittoria De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves yesterday.

I knew it’s a classic, so it should’ve not been a surprise what a great #movie it was.

But christ on a bike! What perfection. Every second was pure #cinemaphile joy. The minimalism of the story, the sharp-eyed details that made to the story, the pictures, the lights & shadows, the actors’ pitch-perfect work.

Almost forgot to eat the snack this time. Was about to go to the fridge half the film, ”just after this scene…”

On Monday I watched a newly restored version of “Shoeshine,” the 1946 movie directed by Vittorio De Sica. One of those films whose lingering images are hard to forget. Anyone else see it?

Aside: Gotta say, this free monthly worldwide curated series by The Film Foundation “Restoration Screening Room” is a great way to find & see movies you might miss or leave languishing on your “watch later” list.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge April 3: #Party on #WorldPartyDay

To support his family, small-town boy Domenico moves to #Milan in the hope to find a #job. Eventually he's employed, as a clerk in a drab office replacing a senior worker who died. While the days drag on, only interrupted by coffee shop small talk with fellow #teenager Antonietta, the #Christmas office #party draws nearer.

With the dark absurdity of coming out of fascism and having to run a real-world country with a naive ineptitude – represented by the too-large-borrowed-from-father-suits – and pretence childlike bureaucratic procedures, Ermanno Olmi's Il posto [The Job] (1961) is a wonderfully sharp observation of #postwar #Italy.
