you know when you are in europe when...

Sitting at a local bar - very local with no drunk Brit toturists for blocks - the young female film maker that you are introduced to starts to tell you about meeting Tinto Brass at a fest in Greece and how lovely he was and describes several of his fims to you in modest detail... (memo to Phanta-Scope board: maybe we should change that Dino membership back to the Tinto Brass...)

Just stumbled across an entry in the blog of the king of UK horror film journalists, Alan Jones, about his recording commentary on CALIGULA with Dame Helen Mirren: "At one point, covered her eyes during the head-severing torture machine scene in the gladiatorial arena."

From "FRIVOLOUS LOLA"- ironically this film was playing in the market the first time I attended Cannes in 1998 and I so wanted to see it, but was turned away for not having the right badge...



And here is an Italian interview with The Maestro...
