el greco
For some reason, the elongated figures limned
by the highly astigmatic painter El Greco (1541 - 1614) perfectly
suited the grandees of Spain even though they were clearly
anything but realistic, and they fascinate even today.
The Greek (Cretan, actually) painter's life in Spain could
have served as the basis for a fascinating biography, but
the makers of this film chose to concentrate on the bad ol'
Inquisition and portray the painter as being warned by his
girlfriend that he is being watched; as a foreigner, he is
suspected of heresy.
Mel Ferrer plays the painter in this historical melodrama
which is not nearly as bad as it could have been.

Mel Ferrer, Rosanna Schiaffino, Adolfo Celi, Mario Feliciani,

giordano bruno
Giordano Bruno (1548 - 1600) was one of the pivotal thinkers
of the Renaissance.
A Dominican friar in Italy, he left the order and taught widely
throughout Europe.
Among the ideas he taught were the inexpressibility of any
ultimate truths and the complete relativity of ordinary truth.
He also taught religious tolerance.
For these and other deviations, he was burned at the stake
by the Inquisition.
This lavish Italian film takes up his story after he has returned
to Venice from meetings with European heads of state and teaching
sessions at the great universities.
Cast:
Gian Maria Volontè, Charlotte Rampling, Hans Christian Blech, Mathieu Carrière,
Renato Scarpa, Giuseppe Maffioli, José Quaglio, Mark
Burns, Mario Bardella, Massimo Foschi
Director:
