Purple Noon
Film Review July 26, 1996
by Marc Savlov
Description: Clément's 1960 French thriller is an excruciating exercise in restraint; Purple Noon positively seethes with barely controlled passions, murder, intrigue, debauch. It takes a masterwork like this to shine the...

Description: Lions Gate lionizes two icons – one French, one Italian – in two new collections
"...After taking a bullet or three with April's Alain Delon: 5-Film Collection, Lions Gate reloads for another round of Studio Canal roulette. The French brand counts more Franco-Italian productions in its vast holdings than MGM prodded lions, so the rarely seen foreign titles padding out these domestic collections often prove their own reward..."

"...Like Clouzot, the cowboy-hatted auteur only used dialogue when absolutely necessary. Alain Delon, the French male equivalent of Catherine Deneuve, was never offered a better role, his watery blue eyes always on the horizon of any samurai's death march..."

Description: Even the 'Sickness of Eros' has unexpected side effects
"...Whereas postwar Italian neorealists wallowed in Rome's inner-city crime and punishment, Antonioni ventures uptown to find a sort of apocalyptic abandonment, Mediterranean light diffusing an otherworldly glow. Likewise, Antonioni's live-in muse, Monica Vitti, abandons one lover (Francisco Rabal) for another (Alain Delon), but as sick with longing as she is, her glow grows with each passing frame of this animated series of still-lifes..."
The Brown Bunny
Film Review October 1, 2004
by Marc Savlov
Description: Vincent Gallo's notorious film turns out to be an anti-action road trip that has the feeling of a fever dream. 
by Marc Savlov
"...If you missed the brouhaha, Gallo very publicly called down a curse on Ebert’s prostate, saying "I hope it blows up to the size of a cantaloupe" before calling the Chicago Sun-Times writer "a fat pig." The two have since made up, and Ebert also very publicly and positively changed his review after Gallo re-edited the film, but the current version is still likely to leave the majority of audience members scratching their heads, if not banging them against a wall. Like Monte Hellman’s sublime Two-Lane Blacktop and Jack Cardiff’s 1968 Alain Delon/Marianne Faithful vehicle Girl on a Motorcycle, The Brown Bunny is, on the face of it, an existential exercise in cross-country motion, a travelogue in which the exteriors are never as important as the interior life of the main character, who in this case is Gallo’s Bud Clay..."

Screens Review June 25, 2004
by Raoul Hernandez
Description: Criterion releases a three-disc restoration project of Visconti's regal The Leopard
"...The first viewing of Luchino Visconti's three-hour 1963 film Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) is typically Italian: paced like 1,000 years under the Mediterranean sun. Through the film strides the Prince of Salina (Burt Lancaster), an aging Sicilian aristocrat witnessing 1860's tricolor-ization and understanding intuitively that "for things to remain the same, everything must change." The Prince's cherished nephew Tancredi (Alain Delon) and bourgeois bride-to-be (Claudia Cardinale) are fresco-perfect embodiments of his imminent extinction..."
Che Bella

Description: The Austin Film Society's series is called "Che Bella: Italy in the 60s," but the story really begins -- as does all of modern cinema -- in the streets of Rome, in May of 1944. Nick Barbaro looks at Italian neorealism and the movies it inspired.

Please Kill Me

Books Story December 6, 1996
"...Once you get past a brief, thrilling, introductory passage describing
life at a punk gig reprinted from the debut Richard Hell novel, Go Now,
words are left at the door in Dream Baby Dream. There's no verbal
embellishment necessary for these gorgeous, damn-near three-dimensional
images: Rick Hell brooding at himself in a mirror like a down-at-the-heel
Alain Delon, Iggy reaching down a pair of two-tone trousers with a deliciously
lascivious leer on his face, Lux Interior thumping a vein in his forearm
with only a top hat and black pants on his frame, Lydia Lunch adjusting
a shoe strap with a gleam of soiled innocence in her eye, Johnny Thunders
long past innocence in black bondage pants, both hands clasped around a
pair of drinks..."

Perhaps the most chilling commentary comes from her son (with French film star Alain Delon, who refused to acknowledge paternity) Ari Boulogne..."
