Pascal Vicedomini on 25 Years of Bringing Hollywood to Italy and Vice-Versa Scott Feinberg Pascal Vicedomini
This past Wednesday night, near the top of an island paradise located 20 miles off the coast of Naples, on the picturesque grounds of a 16th-century castle once occupied by Michelangelo, dozens of Italian actors, musicians, models, influencers, government officials and paparazzi all dressed to the nines along with a handful of Hollywood denizens, gathered for night four of the weeklong Ischia Global Film & Music Festival, which has been held every summer for 19 years. (Full disclosure: your humble correspondent was invited to this year’s fest, and to prior editions, to serve as a panel moderator, and finally decided that this story was too colorful to leave untold.)

Contempt was Jean-Luc Godard s 1963 attempt at a big-budget, big- star production, and more or less satisfied his curiosity. It was not the direction he wanted to move in, and the rest of his career can be seen, in a way, as a reaction to the experience. Not that the film itself is a compromise; you can see the tension between Godard and his backers right there on the screen, and hear it between the lines of the dialogue, in this newly restored print.
The film is about a failed playwright (Michel Piccoli) who is hired by a corrupt American producer (Jack Palance) to work on the script of a movie by a great veteran director (Fritz Lang, playing himself). The playwright is married to a sexy former typist (Brigitte Bardot) that the producer has his eye on. The film is going to be based on The Odyssey, but Palance has a Hercules -style ripoff in mind, while Lang wants to make an art film.
That’s a question that goes about my Twitter timeline pretty often.
I was four or five. That “horror” movie was most likely
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
It could’ve been something else but it’s the film that comes to mind the fastest, as I can still remember the images of Dracula and the Wolf Man fighting in the lab and Glenn Strange’s Monster throwing that doctor through the glass.
Is
ACMF(That’s the trend right? Reducing titles to acronyms like
F13th, FVJ, NOES, NOLD) a true horror movie? I have to argue yes because there are some genuine horror moments in it. The film is also a eulogy to a time that was just about dead in Hollywood.
