<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>THE FULL MONTY av Peter Cattaneo (1997)<br />
Med Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, Tom Wilkinson, William Snape, Steve Huison, Paul Barber, Hugo Speer, Lesley Sharp, Emily Wolf, Paul Butterworth, Dave Hill, Deirdre Costello, Bruce Jones, Andrew Livingston, Vinny Dhillon</p>
<p>VISS SPOILERVARNING</p>
<p>Sheffield i slutet av 1900-talet, när stålindustrin som en gång i tiden gjorde staden så välmående har gått under. Arbetslöshet, typiskt engelska arbetarklassområden utan dubbelt fönsterglas, desperat jobbsökande män* som slår ihjäl tiden på arbetsförmedlingen där inga jobb finns att få och fortsätter på  puben där många öl finns att få för det magra arbetslöshetsunderstödet.</p>
<p>Vid första påseende verkar det här kanske inte vara en särskilt lyckad grundförutsättning för en komedi, men eftersom det är en komedi med insikt och inte bara sinnesslö slapstick fungerar det ändå bra, i hög grad tack vare den vesslelikt rastlöse Robert Carlyle i huvudrollen.</p>
<p>&#8220;The full monty&#8221; är engelsk slang för strip-tease hela vägen. Vartenda plagg ska av. Och det blir till slut sex arbetslösa mäns i alla fall tillfälliga lösning på problemen i arbetslöshetens vardag, eftersom den professionella, manliga stripteasegruppen Chippendales tittat förbi Sheffield och dragit en entusiastisk jättepublik. De sex männen blir inspirerade och tänker göra om samma sak på traktens pub. Men till skillnad från Chippendales gå hela vägen – &#8220;the full monty&#8221;.</p>
<p>Det här fungerar som sagt bra, men når inte ända fram. Intrigen är lite för tunn för att räcka till en hel film och därför uppstår en rad problem på vägen mot den enda kvällens stora uppträdande, problem som staplas på varandra och skulle ha kunnat vara betydligt färre (kortare film) eller betydligt fler (längre film). Och det är problemet med vad man skulle kunna kalla stapelintriger – intriger där en rad intrigelement utan egentligt inbördes samband staplas på varandra.</p>
<p>Så det känns kanske förbluffande att The Full Monty ändå är sevärd. Dels tack vare inte endast Robert Carlyle utan även flera av de andra skådespelarna men också, och inte minst, tack vare den stämning som vilar över hela filmen och som är ganska oemotståndlig om man råkar tycka om England, även med dess baksidor. Själv hyser jag en obotlig förtjusning i typiskt engelska industristäder, i arkitekturen och de dragiga lägenheterna och den ödsliga dysterheten och enformigheten och varje dags samling för några öl på puben, nästan helt oavsett vad – så The Full Monty blir ett ställföreträdande besök i England, fylld av till största delen lyckade episoder som inte må ha ett starkt inbördes samband men som alla kretsar kring vad som är en vansinnig plan, att inför grannar och vänner och inte minst fruar strippa hela vägen och det i ett samhälle där alla pratar om alla och därför bli skvallrad om i åratal efteråt. Den osäkerhet inför uppgiften de sex männen huvudsakligen rätt skickligt men i några scener stereotypt blottar under filmens gång känns för det mesta, men inte alltid, övertygande. Så till exempel görs för mycket av Mark Addys tjat om sin fetma, i synnerhet som karlen inte är påfallande överviktig utan bara lite rund om magen.</p>
<p>I filmens anslag ligger något mycket typiskt engelskt, för om man föreställer sig – säg &#8211; en fransk film på samma tema som The Full Monty skulle den bli mycket annorlunda, med en i stora stycken helt annan intrig och en delvis mycket annorlunda inställning hos huvudgestalterna. The Full Monty tillhör de filmer som ger en inträngande ögonblicksbild av livsvillkoren och de förhärskande värderingarna i ett land och en kultur under en given tidpunkt. </p>
<p>Ett talande exempel är något som till en början känns som påklistrad och politiskt korrekt utfyllnad. Två av killarna är, visar det sig, bögar som inte kommit ut och som blir kära i varandra. Av detta görs ingenting förutom att tittaren får a) veta faktum och b) att de håller varandra i hand på en begravning. Den här omständigheten saknar all betydelse för rollgestalternas utveckling i filmen och kan därför kännas som påklistrad utfyllnad, men i själva verket säger den något ganska omtumlande om förhärskande värderingar i arbetarklassens Sheffield mot slutet av förra århundradet. För poängen med episoden är hur den uppfattas av omgivningen, i det här fallet Robert Carlyle och Mark Addy. Och hur de, med sin ingrodda, djupt fördomsfulla inställning till bögar, reagerar när de upptäcker vad som hänt – på ett sätt som känns oväntat men samtidigt övertygande. Och som dessutom är roligt.</p>
<p>I denna och många andra betraktelser av vardagen i en engelsk industristad ligger mycket av värdet i denna, som jag tycker, trivsamma komedi. Och där, någonstans, överser man med att intrigen är en stapelintrig, för vid närmare eftertanke spelar det ingen större roll. Inte i det här fallet.</p>
<p>Kör hårt,<br />
Bellis</p>
<p>* Här en intressant omständighet. Inga kvinnor. För filmens kvinnor är antingen hemmafruar eller har jobb i positioner som gör det möjligt för dem att erbjuda sina män anställning (något männen vägrar acceptera).</p>

<description><![CDATA[Si può uscire dalla crisi se si è perso tutto? Spogliarsi come nella pellicola sui disoccupati di Sh]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Si può uscire dalla crisi se si è perso tutto? Spogliarsi come nella pellicola sui disoccupati di Sheffield non basta più. Ci vuole il servizio completo. Un&#8217;altra storia intorno alla famiglia Usa, aggrappata a un filo, molto particolare.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-868" title="hunghbo2" src="http://contentistheking.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hunghbo2.jpg?w=202" alt="hunghbo2" width="202" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">C&#8217;era una volta Full Monty, il film rivelazione di Peter Cattaneso, anno 1997, nato come produzione a basso costo, premiato da 4 nomination e un Oscar, ma soprattutto diventato un fenomeno di costume. Raccontava la storia di sei disoccupati inglesi, che nella triste Sheffield, cercavano di uscire dalla crisi più nera. Per far fronte a problemi economici e alla sensazione d&#8217;inutilità e frustrazione, tentavano un po&#8217; goffamente l&#8217;impresa di allestire uno spettacolo di spogliarello maschile. Chi non ricorda i sei proletari folgorati dallo streap tease, che improvvisano in fila per il sussidio un provino sulle note di Hot Stuff di Donna Summer?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hung, la serie tv che va in onda stasera su SkyUno è il nuovo Full Monty, ma stavolta si è soli, e non basta spogliarsi. Per affrontare la crisi in età adulta ci vuole il “servizio completo”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Protagonista di Hung è un uomo maturo, divorziato, in rotta con il lavoro e con sé stesso. Per la precisione, Ray Dracker (interpretato da Thomas Jane) è un&#8217;ex-promessa del basket abbandonato dalla moglie, senza una casa, che ha perso l’affidamento dei figli, ed è insoddisfatto del proprio lavoro che consiste nel fare sottopagato l&#8217;allenatore di una squadra di college a Detroit. Un disperato quindi, ma Ray è anche bello e superdotato, appunto hung, parola col doppio significato di appeso, come Ray rispetto alla sua vita.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il sottotitolo recita «It’s hard to make an indecent living»: è difficile condurre una vita indecente. E infatti la vita di Ray è un bollettino di guerra. C&#8217;è poco da ridere se si pensa a un insegnante di ginnastica in bancarotta che si dà alla prostituzione, ma ci si prova. Ray finisce nel più classico dei corsi motivazionali che promettono il successo e l&#8217;affermazione professionale in tempi rapidi, «Tira fuori l’imprenditore che c’è in te» recita il panel. Una suggestione che si rivela efficace, anche grazie a una sua ex Tanya (Jane Adams), incontrata allo stesso seminario. E proprio Tanya che gli aveva rimproverato di avere più cm che neuroni, sarà la sua manager.<br />
Anche nelle note stampa, la svolta viene descritta con un linguaggio che ricorda lo storytelling aggressivo e deciso dei manager che leggono Sun Tzu: «Ray resolves to take advantage of his greatest asset, in hopes of changing his fortunes in a big way».</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hung viene prodotto dalla Hbo, che già con Six feet under e i Soprano ha affrontato la crisi della famiglia americana e dei suoi pilastri. Hung sembra il rovescio della libertà di Sex and the city e chissà se ripeterà lo stesso epocale successo. Per ora la serie in Usa è andata molto bene. «Una serie tv con le palle» ha scritto Mattia Nicoletti sul sito Moob, uno degli osservatori più interessanti sulle serie tv: «la storia di un uomo al limite costretto a compiere gesti che non avrebbe mai compiuto per rimanere a galla e attaccato anche se per un filo alla famiglia». Una storia di sopravvivenza e di cambiamento «nell&#8217;Obama post Madoff», quando i talenti tradizionali non funzionano più.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>(Peter Cattaneo, 1997)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>July 16, 2009</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>by Joel Crary</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“The Full Monty” is a film all about the great reveal, which makes up about two minutes of the film and is great indeed. How much will be revealed is a question that hangs over all that precedes it. It is a movie that must be seen more than once, especially for North Americans, who may find the sharp dialogue a little difficult to understand. I’m thinking of those like myself, who upon first viewing did not know quite what a “monty” was, nor exactly how full it could be.</p>
<p>The movie opens with an old archival video created to draw business to the city of Sheffield in England. It describes the city as growing with the strength of a booming industrial economy. Flash forward 25 years. Buildings have run down, factories have all but been abandoned and Sheffield, which is shown in several overview shots, appears to be a dilapidated shell of its former productive self.</p>
<p>One such factory provided employment for Gaz (Robert Carlyle) and Dave (Mark Addy), who as the film opens are stealing a girder from their old workplace to sell it for some extra scratch. Gaz has his son Nathan (William Snape) in tow, a kid who seems far more grown up than his dad, who is behind in his alimony payments. After the three witness the turnout for a Chippendales performance at a local club, the enterprising Gaz sees a golden opportunity to bring in some real money.</p>
<p>Gaz and Dave are members of a job club with their former foreman Gerald (Tom Wilkinson), who attempts to carry himself with dignity despite not being able to tell his wife about the loss of his job. They befriend Lomper (Steve Huison), a pale, redheaded factory security guard who has lost the will to live. Soon, the men are recruiting for their own strip routine, holding auditions in the factory and watching former coworkers undress as if they’re getting ready for bed.</p>
<p>Two show potential: Horse (Paul Barber), who is older but still has the moves, and Guy (Hugo Speer), who is young, attractive and endowed, yet can’t quite nail the “running up the wall” back flip. The six men stage rehearsals that go from pathetic to promising. Pressed for details, Gaz tells the two biggest gossips in town that the men will strip completely nude, which is news to the other men. There are funny scenes that showcase how uncomfortable some of the men are with their bodies and the build to the reveal hinges on the potential ramifications of the performance.</p>
<p>Things are so bad financially for the men that they have to steal a copy of “Flashdance” to use as a guide to exotic dancing and there is a funny moment when Dave complains about Jennifer Beals’ skills as a welder. The script is written by Simon Beaufoy, who was Oscar-nominated for this film and recently took home an award for his adaptation of “Slumdog Millionaire”. The slang used by the characters is among some of the most elaborate I’ve heard in a British film, with expressions as inventive as “Are you gonna just stand there while some puff&#8217;s wavin&#8217; his tackle at your Mrs.?”</p>
<p>The performances of Carlyle, Wilkinson and Addy take the material to another level. Carlyle crackles with his particular brand of wiry energy as Gaz, who cares about his son but is still trying to shake the loser behaviour that probably ended his marriage and put him in prison. Wilkinson can always be relied on to play a man of comfortable propriety. Here, Gerald’s pride reduces him to tears – he’s a character who has to sink lower in order to find humility and the will he needs to get back on top. Dave is in the sweet and understandable position of simply wanting to be sexy for his wife, who he fears fantasizes about much fitter men.</p>
<p>“The Full Monty” is a light and subtle comedy about men who feel that, in one way or another, they have lost their manhood. It’s funny because it allows them to reclaim it only by revealing it at its most biological. The final performance is hilarious, uplifting and exciting. It looks like it took guts.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The Rocker As the drummer for an up and coming band, Vesuvius, Robert Fishman was just about to brea]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_301" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 212px"><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031969/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-301" title="the_rocker" src="http://hagiblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/the_rocker.jpg?w=202" alt="The Rocker" width="202" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Rocker</p></div>
<p>As the drummer for an up and coming band, Vesuvius, Robert Fishman was just about to break into the big time. That was until his bandmates kicked him out of the band in return for a record contract. 20 years later he&#8217;ll get his second chance when he becomes the drummer for his nephew&#8217;s band as they&#8217;re suddenly discovered and embark on the cross country tour Robert always wanted.</p>
<p>Directed by &#8211; Peter Cattaneo</p>
<p>Written by &#8211; Maya Forbes, Wallace Wolodarsky, Ryan Jaffe</p>
<p>Starring &#8211; Rainn Wilson, Christina Applegate, Teddy Geiger, Josh Gad, Emma Stone, Jeff Garlin, Jane Lynch, Jason Sudeikis, Will Arnett, Howard Hesseman, Fred Armisen, Bradley Cooper, Lonny Ross, Jon Glaser, Jane Krakowski</p>
<p>Let me first explain what I think is a good comedy. As long as it makes me laugh consistently throughout the entire film, I&#8217;m happy. See, I find comedies to be as formulaic, cliche ridden and predictable as you can get. They&#8217;re all the same no matter what way you cut it and I&#8217;m never really looking forward to seeing them. I saw all the funny bits in the trailer anyway. The Rocker delivered though.</p>
<p>This one is funny from start to finish and it probably got helped along by the fact that I&#8217;ve been in alot of bands before and have shared that young dream to make it big. I really liked Josh Gads delivery through the film. It&#8217;s always funny and the insecurity in almost every statement he makes brought a laugh out of me every time. I was also surprised at the end of the film where a situation occurs that I hadn&#8217;t really thought about. It brought a sense of satisfaction that I thought the movie was going to leave out. All in all it was a good comedy and coming from me that&#8217;s probably a glowing review.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Aufmerksamkeits-Defizit-Syndrom eines Filmemachers</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-202" style="margin:10px;" title="therocker" src="http://studioli.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/therocker.jpg?w=202" alt="therocker" width="182" height="270" />Klingt das nicht wie 80er Jahre Musik?<br />
Tatsächlich. Es spielt &#8220;Vesuvius&#8221;, eine aufstrebende Rockband mit wilder Gestik, geschmacklosen bunten Outfits und langen Haaren &#8211; etwas feminin anmutend. Ihr Manager überrascht die Rocker nach ihrem Auftritt mit einem Plattenvertrag und der Tatsache, dass Drummer Robert Fishman alias Fish (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainn_Wilson" target="_blank">Rainn Wilson</a>) nun eigene Wege gehen muss, weil ihn das Vitamin B aus der Band kickt. Fish ist außer sich vor Wut und schwört ewige Rache.</p>
<p>Sein Weg führte ihn jedoch in ein Callcenter, wo er ein gelangweiltes Dasein fristet und nach 20 Jahren immer noch und immer wieder mit dem überwältigenden Erfolg &#8220;Vesuvius&#8217;&#8221; konfrontiert wird. Bei der Präsentation des neuesten Erfolgsalbums durch einen Kollegen, platzt Fish endgültig der Kragen, er verliert seinen Job, seine Wohnung und sein letztes Fünkchen Würde als er bei seiner Schwester auf dem Dachboden Unterschlupf findet. Der Zufall will es, dass die Band seines Neffen gerade einen Schlagzeuger sucht, um beim Schulball richtig abzuräumen. Und wenn sich eine Band A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder) nennt, dann ist Fish da genau richtig.</p>
<p><a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Cattaneo" target="_blank">Peter Cattaneo</a>, bekannt durch seinen preisgekrönten Film &#8220;<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganz_oder_gar_nicht" target="_blank">Ganz oder gar nicht</a>&#8221; (1997), liefert mit &#8220;<a href="http://www.therocker.de/" target="_blank">The Rocker</a>&#8221; seine vierte Spielfilmproduktion und kann wiederum nicht an den Erfolg seines Erstlingswerks, voller subtiler Komik und sozialkritischem Unterton, anknüpfen. Bereits seine zweite Regiearbeit &#8220;Lucky Break&#8221; (2001) hatte bei Publikum und Kritik einen schweren Stand und &#8220;The Rocker&#8221; wird es nicht leichter haben.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-203" title="therocker02" src="http://studioli.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/therocker02.jpg?w=300" alt="therocker02" width="300" height="198" /><br />
Der Film beginnt temporeich, beinahe hyperaktiv mit etwas viel Klamauk und Albernheit, er leidet an Stimmungsschwankungen und Konzentrationsstörungen, nichts zeigt eine kontinuierliche Linie. Leise Momente werden unwirsch unterbrochen durch Slapstick, den ein <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Chaplin" target="_blank">Charlie  Chaplin</a> oder <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Keaton" target="_blank">Buster Keaton</a> meisterhaft beherrschte, der hier jedoch zur plumpen Blödelei verkommt. Dass sich ein Gag wenige Minuten später in ähnlich peinlicher Weise wiederholt, trägt wenig zum Amüsement bei.</p>
<p>Die Charaktere zeichneten die Drehbuchautoren zu eindimensional, eine Figurenkonstellation voller Klischees: die strenge Mutter (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Lynch" target="_blank">Jane Lynch</a> als Mrs. Gadman), der langweilige Vater, der einem Rockerleben nachträumt (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Garlin#Film_and_television" target="_blank">Jeff Garlin</a> als Mr. Gadman), der dicke Loser-Sohn (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Gad" target="_blank">Josh Gad</a> als Matt), die freche Schwester (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1541944/" target="_blank">Samantha Weinstein</a> als Violet), der melancholische junge Leadsänger, der in Fish einen Ersatzvater findet (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Geiger" target="_blank">Teddy Geiger</a> als Curtis) und die pubertierende Rockgöre, die Avril Lavigne zum Vorbild hat (<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Stone" target="_blank">Emma Stone</a> als Amelia). Die Handlung ist zu vorhersehbar, ohne Spannung und Originalität. Der einzige Lichtblick des Films zeigt sich im wunderbar charmanten Spiel Rainn Wilsons, der einige schöne Augenblicke kreiert &#8211; doch wenige nette Momente machen einen Film zu keinem Rocker.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Rocker&#8221; – ab 29.01.2009 im Kino</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ee;text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://thebrixtownmassacre.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/pete_best1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45" src="http://thebrixtownmassacre.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/pete_best1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ee;text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://thebrixtownmassacre.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/pete_best1.jpg"></a></span>Ve lo ricordate Pete Best? Famoso per qualcosa che non ha mai fatto piuttosto che per il segno che ha lasciato? Pete Best è &#8220;quello che ha messo il beat in The Beatles&#8221;, come scrive nel suo sito web. Il problema è che l&#8217;ha messo per soli due anni, dal 1960 al 1962, poi ci ha pensato Ringo Starr a mettere tutti gli altri <em>b</em><em>eat-bang e crash </em>nella storia del pop rock. Così quando sono andata alla prima di <strong>The Rocker,</strong> il nuovo film di Peter Cattaneo (quello di <em>Full Monty</em>), non potevo credere ai miei occhi nel leggere il suo nome sui credits finali. Più che altro perché dall&#8217;inizio del film non avevo smesso di pensare a lui, Pete Best: the greatest sfigato of all times. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Rocker è infatti la storia di un batterista, Fisher alias <em>Fish</em>, che viene cacciato dalla sua rock band, su richiesta del manager, alla vigilia del loro enorme e duraturo successo mondiale. Dopo avere abbandonato il sogno rock e aver lavorato come impiegato per venti anni, Fish (interpretato dall&#8217;attore comico americano Rainn Wilson) torna a suonare per prendersi una vendetta sul rock. Esattamente quel che è successo a Pete Best, cacciato su richiesta del manager dei Beatles (Brian Esptein) e che dopo avere lavorato per 20 anni come funzionario statale, torna sul palco con la sua <em>P</em><em>ete Best Band</em>. Non la conoscete? Ve l&#8217;ho detto, Pete non è mica famoso per quello che ha fatto! </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dunque, il giochino è questo: indovinate in quale scena di <strong>The Rocker</strong> Pete Best appare con un breve cameo. In palio c&#8217;è una favolosa vacanza per due a Pieve Pajaccia. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Manco io l&#8217;avevo riconosciuto e ho dovuto insistere molto per farmi dire dal regista Peter Cattaneo in quale scena fosse. Mi ha inoltre sorpreso che Best abbia accettato la parte e che, a detta di Cattaneo e Rainn Wilson, sembri un &#8220;uomo molto tranquillo e in pace con sé stesso e il mondo&#8221;.  </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il film uscirà nei cinema italiani il 5 settembre (potrete leggere l&#8217;intervista a Rainn Wilson sul Rolling Stone dello stesso mese o <a href="http://www.rollingstonemagazine.it/page.php?ID=4087">qui</a>).</p>
