Many thanks for these, Rohmerin... Will certainly check out the one in Ferrara in the spring, when I'm next there for the rescheduled Antonioni exhibition...rohmerin wrote:My tips. I am only interested on OOP books, fuori di catalogo, and I have discovered for the moment two paradises, amazing both:
-Ferrara
Libreria Mercatino del Libro e del Fumetto
Via delle Scienze, 12, 44100 Ferrara, Italia
+39 0532 205804
It's smells to old books, it looks a cemetery for books. Charming family runs the business. It looks chaotic but it's all in order by subjects. I bought a long and old Venice film festival book about HAYS code for 13 euros !!!

Re: Italian DVDs With Italian Subs
For visitors in Milano, there are some excellent OOP and 50 % off bookstores in and around Naviglio Grande (one of those channels like in Venice with vintage stores and trendy aperitivo bars). Even there's a shop all for 2 euros.
Their shop for cinema, art and design is superb.
All these shops close very late, at 23.00 H.

Re: Italian DVDs With Italian Subs
Just on a Blasetti blast, picking up 6 of the RHV discs; 1860, 4 Passi Fra Le Nuvole & 4 of the early sound movies - Resurrectio, Terra Madre, Palio & La Tavola Dei Poveri... Despite stating otherwise in the specs & on the box, there does not actually seem to be Italian subs (per non udenti) available on the Palio disc, but despite this it is a fascinating movie with vivid scenes shot on location in Sienna some 80 years ago...

Yes, the RHV Blasetti discs are great. I think pretty much all of them have fansubs available too now.

Re: Italian DVDs With Italian Subs
I find Blasetti early sound films really astonishing, especially Resurrectio.
These two discs also have English subtitles too.1860, 4 Passi Fra Le Nuvole

Roma ore 11
Holy shit! I thought this was never going to make its way to DVD. Shame it isn't with a label who'd do something with it, but, nonetheless, every other unreleased classic Italian film can now move up one spot in the most wanted charts.

Re: Italian DVDs With Italian Subs
Excellent!... Presumably on the foot of this Venice screening in June...
So it should be a decent print, just hoping there will be Italiano per non udenti subs on the 01 disc too...The film Roma ore 11 (Rome 11:00, 1952), the masterpiece by Giuseppe De Santis, one of the fathers of Neorealism, will be shown on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the film’s debut screening, in a new copy provided by the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia - Cineteca Nazionale di Roma.

Re: Italian DVDs With Italian Subs
I don't know if it will as La spiaggia was advertised as such but didn't have any, if I remember correctly. Regardless the fan subtitles will be synced up in a matter of days.

Ordered a bunch of De Santis along with the upcoming ROME ORE 11, including GIORNI D'AMORE featuring a young Mastroianni and filmed in the rather marvellous Ferraniacolor... While the UN MARITO PER ANNA ZACCHEO disc appears to be from a video source or suchlike (nevertheless still interesting), NON C'È PACE TRA GLI ULIVI is in a lovely edition from a new film restoration...

Re: Italian DVDs With Italian Subs
Rosi's La sfida upcoming now too on BluTMDaines wrote:It looks like we're finally getting more stuff from the Cristaldi catalogue. Most of it's really quite unknown too with the majority of the films not having five votes on iMDB nor being currently available on the likes of KG. The first Blu-ray in Ferreri's L'udienza is more than welcome and it's nice to see Camerini's Due Lettere Anonime finally coming out on DVD too.

Totally excellent, had picked up the DVD, but BR essential of Rosi's film, not least for the photography of Gianni Di Venanzo, chances were now just viewing his unparalleled work on CC 8 1/2 BR projected in HD... Sweet !...

Confirm no subs at all on ROMA, ORE 11 DVD, but it is the recent Cineteca di Bologna digital restoration, and indeed quite a fascinating film...

Re: Classic Italian Cinema (non R1, English-friendly)
Ripley's Home Video has just released L'invenzione di Morel (Morel's Invention, 1974), a science-fiction "fantasy", starring Anna Karina. The disc features a new HD transfer, with both English and French subtitles. As soon as I receive my copy I will post some screenshots.

Re: Classic Italian Cinema (non R1, English-friendly)
Wow, thanks for that piece of news - I never even realized this had been filmed. A simultaneously obvious and somehow impossible book to adapt; very eager to see how they've managed...Saimo wrote:Ripley's Home Video has just released L'invenzione di Morel (Morel's Invention, 1974)
If someone here doesn't know that book yet, I'd venture to say it's absolutely required reading for anyone with even a passing interest in either film or sci-fi - and a hell of a good read in any case. Chris Marker, when asked how he would describe his career to someone who didn't know about it, said "I'd tell them to read The Invention of Morel."

Interestingly there was also a prior version for French TV L'invention de Morel (1967) an opening clip of which can be glimpsed here...

Re: Italian DVDs With Italian Subs
New Cristaldi BR of Rosi's LA SFIDA looks really superb, crisp, sharp, visceral, doing deserved credit to Gianni di Venanzo's peerless cinematography... A true thing of beauty!...
Next up, Visconti's LE NOTTI BIANCHE comes to Blu Ray on 20th March... That'll be an HD master available to Criterion for an upgrade...
