Featured review
I saw Kaos, yesterday evening with friends who didn't know it or don't remember it. At this time, Italian cinema produces masterpieces. The emotional power acts after years, specially during the "novel" ends this movie, when Pirandello : at his top, comes back into the family house, re-open it, sees again, the only women he loves and remembers his trip, his family, his feelings : the splendor of childhood, the wildness of this isle, the warm of being protected & loved by his entire family in dramatic circumstances... Well : the music was written by Mozart himself. The beginning of this part is a kind of "Sergio Leone period : once upon in time..." a western like "I"m back" without guns and an harmonica. No action, but only emotion which grows again & again My POW ? A very great movie upon Sicilia, Mens, Women, family, land... See by two directors who knows emotion in movies are more important than 3D effects... God (Ford & Griffith) bless them Sorry my American & English are poor, but I'm just a french guy. See this movie and enjoy it (don't forget a bunch of Kleenex) you will never see that again.
