Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

The Key (1983)

Genre: Drama
Directed by: Tinto Brass
Cast: Stefania Sandrelly, Frank Finley, Barbara Cupisti
Running Time: 116 minutes



Teresa is an inhibited wife unable to satisfy the humongous carnal needs of her husband of 20 years, Nino. After starting an affair with her adult daughter’s fiancé, she finds the sexual awakening that she brings back at home to her husband.

Set in the Venice of 1940, under a fascist regime, this Italian erotic drama is okay for what it was meant to be. There is a lot of naked flesh, especially of female backsides. That I can appreciate. Story-wise, it is entertaining enough to keep you interested, even if you have to rely on subtitles.
