PONTYPOOL


E se l'epidemia che aspettiamo da secoli non si propagasse con il contatto o con il respiro?
Ma io dico …com’è possibile?! Com’è possibile che questa meraviglia mi sia passata sotto il naso per praticamente un intero anno?! Com’è possibile che nessuno parli di questo gioiello del cinema canadese?! Geniale, magistralmente recitato da 4 dico 4 attori, spaventoso pur essendo praticamente senza effetti speciali, attanagliante nonostante prenda luogo TUTTO in una stazione radio, con finalmente un’idea NUOVA (!!!!!) riguardo un’epidemia….bello, bello, bellissimo, sono senza parole. Vi dico solo che adesso se ripeto per errore una parola 2 o 3 volte mi viene il panico.

Voto 9 1/2 mezzo, questo film lo batte solo Lake Mungo.

  1. "Mrs. French's cat is missing. The signs are posted all over town. "Have you seen Honey?" We've all seen the posters, but nobody has seen Honey the cat. Nobody. Until last Thursday morning, when Miss Colette Piscine swerved her car to miss Honey the cat as she drove across a bridge. Well this bridge, now slightly damaged, is a bit of a local treasure and even has its own fancy name; Pont de Flaque. Now Collette, that sounds like Culotte. That's Panty in French. And Piscine means Pool. Panty pool. Flaque also means pool in French, so Colete Piscine, in French Panty Pool, drives over the Pont de Flaque, the Pont de Pool if you will, to avoid hitting Mrs. French's cat that has been missing in Pontypool. Pontypool. Pontypool. Panty pool. Pont de Flaque. What does it mean? Well, Norman Mailer, he had an interesting theory that he used to explain the strange coincidences in the aftermath of the JFK assasination. In the wake of huge events, after them and before them, physical details they spasm for a moment; they sort of unlock and when they come back into focus they suddenly coincide in a weird way. Street names and birthdates and middle names, all kind of superfluous things appear related to eachother. It's a ripple effect. So, what does it mean? Well... it means something's going to happen. Something big. But then, something's always about to happen. "
