have a GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP ON US MATRESS DISCOUNTERS!!!

I received Il Grido (the Outcry) from amazon yesterday. I was planning on saving it until Thanksgiving when I go visit my mom in L.A. but I wanted to catch just a bit and ended up watching the first hour.

I suppose I'm a big fan of post-war Italian films. I love De Sica's the Bicycle Thief (having watched it first in European Film History class at Georgia State. Altman/Tolkin pokes good fun at the fans of the film in The Player. Il Grido is less formal stylistically and is considered to be Antonioni's neo-realist film.

I've been meaning to watch Antonioni's films back-to-back while I'm down in L.A.
