Film7.0SuçDramKadınlara düşkün uyuşturucu bağımlısı bir polisin sıradışı maceralarını anlatan filmde, Harvey Keithel'ın performansı gerçekten görülmeye değer. Polis örgütünde görevli bir teğmen, uyuşturucu satar, hayat kadınlarıyla ilişki kurar ve genç kızları elde etmek için mevkiinden yararlanmak ister. Harvey tecavüze uğrayan bir rahibe ile ilgili soruşturmayı yürütürken kendi yaşam biçimini de sorgulamaya başlar. Büyük oyuncu Harvey Kietel'in adeta "one-man-show"a soyunduğu, oldukça sert ve sarsıcı bir film. Rüşvet alan, ahlaksız, üçkağıtçı, esrar bağımlısı ve kumarbaz bir polisin, sona doğru hızla yuvarlanışını anlatan film, epey tepki toplayan görüntüleri televizyonlarda epey makaslanmıştı. Tecavüze uğrayan bir rahibenin davasını araştıran polis kahramanımızın iç dünyasında yaptığı yolculuk gerçekten etkileyici...

Film7.0BelgeselRosy-Fingered Dawn is a film on Terrence Malick. It is about the making of BADLANDS, DAYS OF HEAVEN, THE THIN RED LINE and the personal involvement of some of the most representative figures of the American culture itself. This medley of voices has given origin to a journey throughout the whole United States, from California to Colorado, from Virginia to Minnesota, passing by New York and Los Angeles. Every stop represents an ideal set in which all the characters of the films come to life once again giving place to a growing flow of memories. The narrative dimension of Malick's cinema resounds and opens a new horizon on the visible contradictions of the American culture; no easy judgement but a critical consciousness is what emerges from this coral speech, together with a definite need: the necessity of art. A need that Terrence Malick was able to satisfy.

Dizi4.5DramThe Scarlet Letter is a 1979 miniseries based on the novel of the same name that aired on WGBH from March 3, 1979 to March 24, 1979. The series is four episodes long, 60 minutes each. Part 2 won the 1979 Emmy Award for Outstanding Video Tape Editing for a Limited Series or Special for film editors Ken Denisoff, Janet McFadden, and Tucker Wiard. In 1979, when most literary programs were being produced in the United Kingdom, Boston public television station WGBH decided to produce a homegrown literary classic of its own. The result is this epic version of Nathaniel Hawthorne's enduring novel of Puritan America in search of its soul. Hester Prynne overcomes the stigma of adultery to emerge as the first great heroine in American literature. Hawthorne's themes, the nature of sin, social hypocrisy, and community repression, still reverberate through American society. Meg Foster brings a quiet strength to the role of Hester, the adulteress condemned to wear a scarlet "A" for the rest of her life. As her partner in crime, the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, John Heard writhes in private torment most convincingly. Kevin Conway completes this grim triangle as the mysterious, maleficent Roger Chillingworth. The costumes and scenery are simple, so as not to detract from the dialogue as each character grapples with the meaning of sin, forgiveness, and redemption.
