3º – The King of Comedy (Martin Scorsese, 1982)
An aspiring comedian tries in every way to get a tape with her recordings of performances to be heard by a television studio. However, after several denials and the discovery of a new and dangerous companion, the man will resort to the kidnapping of his biggest television idol (who had also rejected him before) in order to realize his dream. Very funny in all his attacks, we can say that the success of the film is due, in fact, the unique performance of Robert De Niro ahead of the protagonist.
2º – The Innocents (Jack Clayton, 1961)
Desperate for a job, a young woman agrees to work as a housekeeper in an isolated mansion, having to look after two children only with the help of another maid. However, what appeared as a mere work, ends up proving to be a true martyrdom when the children begin to present a bizarre behavior and it happens to see strange happenings by the place. ‘The Innocents’ is that typical terror that fascinates. The construction of their environments makes each scene a delight to the viewer, leaving its good plot as a secondary factor.
1º – Heaven Can Wait (Ernst Lubitsch, 1943)
The film begins by showing our protagonist in the hell, having a conversation with the representatives of the place on the reasons that did arrive there. It is at this point that we will spend all of his life, understanding a little about the misfit model of man dealing with the instances of the world. ‘Heaven Can Wait’ is a film ahead of its time, working with a mood model that comes naturally to the compendium of scenes. A true masterpiece of cinema.
