Padre Padrone | Year: 1977 Classification: Foreign Film - Italian Directed: - Paolo Taviani - Vittorio Taviani Actors/Actresses: - Omero Antonutti MY FATHER , MY MASTER... Here is a landmark film of the seventies , a film with a great dramatic intensity , it has its roots in neo-realism yet so beautiful and lyrical. The 5 stars are for Paolo and Vittorio Taviani , Omero Antonuti and the rest of the crew. For Fox Lorber a zero on a transfer job so poorly done , the VHS tape plays better; they did the same with "Ran" , by Kurosawa . Let us hope someone will hear our voices screaming bloody murder , and hoping for a decent digital transfer on these and similar "butchered" masterpieces. Fox Lorber DVD...experience the worst DVD transfer a true story, about living under unbelievable paternal cruelty. the landscape must be beutiful, but this dvd transfer manages to obscure all that. this is the type of product you get when vulgar and dishonest people are involved in its making; this becomes more apparent when it involve the production of art-related materials, where ultimate crftmanship is required. I hope that a remastered version well be published sometimes in the future. avoid this dvd and all Fox Lorber dvd. A great, great film Maltin has clearly just not understood the first thing about this, and should stick to Hollywood blockbusters. This is a fantastic movie about the power that a father holds over his son due to his limiting the son's education and ability to communicate. The fact that Gavino Ledda went on to become a linguist shows the effect that his father had, as well as his determination to overcome the limitations set upon him. And when you're done seeing this, track down any other Taviani film you can, especially Notte di San Lorenzo, perhaps movie made about fascism.
