    Somewhat overlooked since Al Pacino's Oscar-winning remake, Dino Risi's twice-nominated adaptation of Giovanni Arpino's novel boasts a similarly show-stopping performance from Vittorio Gassman. He won the best actor prize at Cannes for his portrayal of the blind army captain with a stubborn streak to match his simmering sense of resentment. However, that's where the similarities end, as Gassman journeys from Turin to Naples to enter into a suicide pact with a soldier disfigured in the accident that disabled him. There's sly humour in his relationship with rookie escort Alessandro Momo, but the romantic reunion with Agostina Belli is cringingly sentimental.

    A Masterpeice

    In my book, maybe controversially, Al Pacino's best film. He acts the world off the stage, you can do nothing but believe he is blind. The whole cast of this film are excellent and the direction perfect. There is some strong language in the film, please don't let that put you off. The language used is part of Al Pacino's character and is only used when necessary for the character to express himself. A warm film with a solid story line and memorable moments. A must for any film fan, Al Pacino or not!

    Quite simply one of the greatest movies ever made. Al Pacino's role in this film is a marvel. This is a must see movie.

    “What super power would you have?” someone asks Zuzana in an internet chatroom. “To be invisible,” she replies. “To walk through walls and to read peoples minds…” We get a taste of these wondrous gifts ourselves, courtesy of this beguiling and whimsical observational film by Slovak music video director Juraj Lehotsky. Shot over a five year period, the movie is a documentary which applies some fictional techniques – including some scripted scenes, Read more
