The review

Italy made its first long picture as a tour of Dante's hell. Devils, poets, the damned. A teen can watch it. I am not describing the tortures. The theology is a gallery of pain. That phrase is enough.

What it proved is that a long picture could hold a public. Not an American gross, and not a reason to call the night comforting. I sat through the idea of it more than I sat through a life. No wage, no child, no town you'd go home to. If someone wants the poem, this is an early gallery that showed the length a film could run.

Journal

Keep L'Inferno in the record.

Live Historic number 29. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Cinderella

40 instead of 29

Cinderella is still a fantasy film, and it scores 40 instead of 29. What you gain is household: She is the girl of a household, played by a woman already grown.

The eight

3
Industry
No wage or craft; the work that mattered was holding a long public.
1
Household
Poets, devils, and the damned: no parent, wife, or child is the life.
4
Piety
The theology is a gallery of pain, not a conscience that stops a hand.
4
Courage
A poet's tour of the damned is the only risk the picture offers.
2
Republic
Hell is not a town anyone owes; the damned are already past the law.
2
Temperance
You are walked from punishment to punishment, and the next one is the pull.
5
Truth
It is Dante's hell filmed, and the first long Italian picture.
2
Stewardship
Nothing is restored to the damned; a public learned a picture could be long.

He finds an ear and then wants the night more than he wants an exit.

The review

He finds an ear in a field and follows it, a college boy treating a crime as a personal door. By day the town is lawns and robins. By night there's a singer, a criminal, and a detective's daughter. I'm not describing the cruelty. The detail that decides whether you should leave it on is simpler: he wants the mystery more than he wants to leave.

Not for teenagers, and not as a style to borrow. The neat lawn isn't proof the place is sound, and his curiosity isn't a favor to the neighbors. He could stop. He doesn't want to. If your house already flatters people for poking into the dark, this will flatter them again. You can admit the film is skilled and still keep it off this week. He wants the mystery more than a way out. That is the warning.

Sleepy Hollow

41 instead of 29

Sleepy Hollow is still a mystery film, and it scores 41 instead of 29. What you gain is courage: He stays in a town that is killing people, with no gift for it but persistence.

The eight

2
Industry
A college boy wanders in; nobody's job is what the night is about.
3
Household
Lawns stand in for home, and the night pulls people out instead of making one.
2
Piety
Nothing in him stops the looking; the mystery outruns any reason to quit.
3
Courage
He walks into danger for curiosity, not for a duty he would grieve to lose.
4
Republic
A criminal and a detective mean the town is owed a truth he mostly tastes.
2
Temperance
He wants the night more than the exit, and the film stays with that want.
5
Truth
The ear says the lawn is incomplete, and he prefers the secret to a report.
2
Stewardship
Daytime is left tidy, and the boy did not want the mystery closed.
