A big welcome to the new disc company Radiance! This first CineSavant Radiance review is a knockout political drama from Italy’s Elio Petri, with one of the best performances ever by Gian-Maria Volontè. Model factory machinist Lulù Massa offends his peers on the assembly line with his individualistic egotism. An injury on the job makes him a focus for Unionists and student radicals. Petri’s warmly humanist picture is also blunt in its outlook — our imperfect hero is adrift in an unsatisfactory system, and the politicals’ agenda isn’t helpful either. It’s compelling filmmaking, co-starring Mariangela Melato and driven by an excellent Ennio Morricone music score.

Yes, summer is a great time to get away to the multiplex to see the latest in Hollywood spectacle. But if you're not feeling like dealing with the crowds, sticky floors, audiences or even the heat on the way to and from the theater, why not kick back at home and catch up on some classic cinema you might have missed? Kino Classics can certainly fill that void, as later this month they'll be releasing the Lina Wertmüller Collection boxset featuring "The Seduction of Mimi" (1972), "Love & Anarchy" (1973) and "All Screwed Up" (1974) on DVD and Blu-ray.

Acclaimed as one of the leading filmmakers of the 1970s, Wertmüller demonstrates her equal skills at both rollicking comedy and rich drama with this trio of classics made during the height of her career. "The Seduction of Mimi" is a raucous sex comedy and a blistering satire of Italy in the 1970s that takes aim at a corrupt government,...

One of the most polarizing films amongst his fans, The Stendhal Syndrome is Dario Argento’s first film shot in Italy after his foray in the United States with Trauma and Two Evil Eyes. Argento loosely adapts Graziella Magherini’s novel of the same name into a psychological thriller that is unlike anything else in his canon.

Asia Argento stars as Anna Manni, a police officer in Rome who is sent to Florence to investigate a series of rape/murders that have baffled the authorities. Following a tip, she goes to the Uffizi gallery in Florence where she succumbs to the titular syndrome, and hallucinates herself into a painting before passing out and hitting her head.

“The Stendhal Syndrome” is an actual medical condition named for the French writer Stendhal where people are afflicted with headaches, dizziness, hallucinations and fainting spells after being exposed to great works of art. After recovering from this episode,...

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Anything but grave until its emotional finale, director Paul Weiland's "For Roseanna" is a lighthearted farce about a man who goes to absurd lengths to fulfill his wife's dying wish.

The upcoming Fine Line Features release, whose title was changed last week from "Roseanna's Grave", was warmly received Thursday by the opening-night audience at the 12th annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival, with co-producer Paul Trijbits in attendance. Starring Jean Reno and Mercedes Ruehl, "For Roseanna" is an English-language hybrid -- the characters are Italian, many of the actors are not. Commercial prospects are modest at best.

Written by veteran TV writer and producer Saul Turteltaub, the comedy is set in an Italian village with a nearly full graveyard. Only three plots remain, and it is the desire of Roseanna (Ruehl) to be buried beside her daughter, who died many years before.

Her husband Marcello (Reno) is a big, energetic trattoria proprietor who monitors the progress of other mortally ill locals in the hospital. His single-mindedness is both endearing and mildly off-putting.

Resigned to her fate but still very much alive, Roseanna tries to set up Marcello with her younger sister Cecilia (Polly Walker), so he won't be alone after she's gone. Although he's not immune to Cecilia's attractiveness, Marcello does not take this wish seriously.

Cecilia, however, is ardently pursued by Antonio (Mark Frankel), the nephew of a bitter former lover of Roseanna. His uncle (Luigi Diberti) just happens to own vacant land next to the cemetery but refuses to sell it to the church because of his seriously broken heart and jealousy of Marcello.

Enter a recently freed convict (Trevor Peacock) who left a small fortune with the village banker Roberto Della Casa) 20 years earlier. The latter spent most of the loot on a young mistress in Rome and fears for his life. A mishap one night results in the banker's death, with Marcello hiding the corpse in a freezer to delay his burial.

More bodies are hidden, and the long-simmering problems with Diberti's character lead to a shouting match in church. The finale involves another elaborate, crowd-pleasing ruse.

Ruehl is strong and elegantly earthy, and Reno can be quite amusing with his facial expressions. The supporting cast is first-rate, with Walker ("Emma") making the most of her role.

Filmed in wide screen, the film revels in the beautiful countryside and the power of love and faithfulness.
