Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo parlato nuovamente di un classico Disney, uno tra i film più importanti creati da quella casa d’animazione e un vero caposaldo di tale tecnica artistica, Il re leone.

In 1995, audiences were hyped to finally see an onscreen showdown between Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro in Michael Mann's Heat. But what promised to be a standard actioner on paper (on top of a battle of titans) was in actuality an existential tone poem on masculinity, with audiences feeling let down by the lack of fireworks in Pacino and DeNiro's brief but mighty scene. The film has since been reassessed, earning a vocal and devoted fanbase that hail the film as Mann's masterpiece.
This week, we talk about Mann's work studying the masculine mind and Pacino and DeNiro's 1990s periods. We also talk about Val Kilmer's Batman year, how the 1995 Oscars largely rejected darker material, and our thoughts on Mann's Ferrari.
Topics also include bisexual eyebrow piercings, our diner orders, and the Nyad towel.
