I actually found out about this movie in a question corner of the manga One Piece. In his work the mangaka created a whole café which was inspired by the Bagdad Café. All of this brought me here. I really enjoyed the movie and your review!

Hello Daniel, I have uploaded a tribute to the cast of the film Bagdad Café on my UA-cam channel. I hope you like the video. Greetings!

Turn the music down.

Good video on a great film!

Very nice video, thank you

Thanks for this review. This movie is an absolute gem - such a joy to watch. To me this is one of the greatest films ever. However, I have e different view on the lead roles: Taylor is perfect as Marcus, but Kerr as Lygia is even better in my opinion. It’s not easy to play a good gentile woman and not come across as boring or predictable - the Polyanna ‘all-is-great’ type. What you call her character Lygia giving Marcus a cold shoulder is really her inner Christian strength fighting the temptation of submitting to the attraction to this newly met man, a Roman pagan. So it’s like a dance between them in that first scene together. It’s a deliberate scene in the script ( it’s not this way in the book on which the film is loosely based). Neither Peck nor Elizabeth Taylor could do better than Robert and Deborah in Quo vadis. Some people say that they might’ve chosen someone younger for the role of Vinicius, but I watched the movie as a teenager and never felt that he was too old for the part.

MGM's lavish cinema achievement Quo Vadis (1951) is a spectacular motion picture in every respect, from the cast and screenplay to the sets and music! Sir Peter Ustinov's incredible performance as Emperor Nero is superb, and the Wagnerian score by Miklos Rozsa is outstanding. Quo Vadis has remained my favorite film since I eagerly saw it upon its initial release. Daniel Nobre is to be commended for his honest and insightful review of Quo Vadis, which will help to keep this classic epic movie alive for a new generation of cinema enthusiasts. Prof. Dr. Dr. H.

Cannot have too much Bagdad Javetta

Very good Dan. Waiting to see Part 2

A Contemporary Film for Today's Russia. This film was recommended to me by an art historian blogger. I liked it very much.

My favourite version of a film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is the 2013 film directed by Carlo Carlei. The adaptation of the play by Julian Fellowes was on point considering their aim to make it more accessible to a modern (younger) audience. The Director and the actors used exquisite subtlety to portray the depth of their love for each other, as well as their innocence. I will cite only some examples: (1) Juliet's expression when Romeo removed her mask perfectly portrayed the joy and wonder that she was experiencing - falling in love for the first time, and so deeply at that. Romeo's face and eyes showed his feelings towards her and his reaction to her response to him. It was supreme acting because the actors made it look real!; (2) Romeo's expression of pure joy from the moment that Juliet asks him "is your love pure, your purpose marriage?", followed by his assurance that it is and her commitment to "lay all her fortunes at his feet and follow him throughout the world". The scenes that follow after this were sublime acting: his seriousness when posing the request to the Friar and the happy smile when Friar Laurence agreed, his face beaming joy throughout the exchange with the Nurse and his seriousness and joy throughout the wedding ceremony; (3) During the "wedding night" scene there are so many gems: Firstly, Romeo's attitude and the way he looks at her and held is oozed concern that she is completely distraught at Tybalt's death, Secondly, the nuances of their love-play: he is looking at her with a mixture and passion and wonder, almost incredulity that this gift is his now. He starts unwrapping his gift by removing her earrings - his touch is sensual and innocent at the same time, while his eyes never leave hers. Then he slips her wrap off her shoulders, his fingers caressing her whilst he's doing this and, when her bare arms are revealed to him for the first time, he strokes her skin - it looks sensual, but light and gentle as well. Her eyes and facial expression, in turn, show her awakening and enjoyment of their intimacy, followed by her removing his shirt - again in a way that is reminiscent of someone unwrapping a gift; (4) As Romeo wakes up, with Juliet fully clothed in her night-dress and him in awful grandpa "underpants", the slightest of smiles, a gentle kiss on her forehead and his eyes, his expression throughout the scene that follow, depict his remembrance of their intimacy the night before. This subtlety contrasts with the nudity in previous film versions and I loved it!; (5) Juliet gives Romeo a pink rose after he said "adieu", i.e., just before they parted. In Shakespeare's text (in another scene) it becomes clear that "pink" or "flower" is synonymous with a girl's virginity and lady parts in general. Hence, the symbolism is that she re-affirms to him that she is his. The actor who played Romeo deserves a special commendation for his response to this: the play of emotions in his eyes, on his face, his mouth, showed how profoundly touched he was by this. The 2013 R&J movie essentially flopped at the Box Office and that it received the harshest of criticism, but I firmly believe it was because viewers did not pick up on these subtleties. Having said that, I am fully aware that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so maybe I am one of a very small contingent of fans, but I am indeed a huge fan!

Una película profunda y bella. Unido a la música de Schubert cala en el espíritu.

Good looking film , but I could not keep my eyes off the stunning Patricia Laffer. Those sexy eyes just melted me. Looking so hot.

Fantasia (1940) foi um filme revolucionário pela animação, mas difícil pelos críticos e públicos. Por sorte, essa historia tem um fin feliz. O filme começou a ter uma recepção mas favorável nas décadas seguintes, e agora, e considerado um clássico nos filmes de Disney.

Tu nunca podes decepcionar-me com os teus videos. Muito tempo ha passado, desde o ultimo video sob a mitologia, más se tu queiras fazer outro video sob este tema, estou a assistir.

I have both the Criterion dvd and the newer 4k steelbook but if i have to choose one i still pick the Criterion dvd , i hope for a Criterion blu ray one day.

U wanted to share the trailer on my facebook but wasn't able to. Some complained, took offence to the trailer. There are some really ignorant people out there . Maybe they don't like anti-racist movies.

The first images are filmed askew like the situations/lives of all the protagonists. Things work out eventually. It was on 'TalkingPicturesTV' yesterday and I was truly entertained.

I went there about a week ago and there is a sign "CLOSED" do we know why?

It looks like you had lots of fun 🤩

Zion N. P. must be one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Wow Seattle is a fantastic city.

I can’t wait to visit Seattle. I appreciate your suggestion for the Seattle Beer Company.

There we are again together in this amazing video. Our trip was fun and we must go back one day to Seattle Beer 🍺 Company

Hi Dan I’ve haven’t been to Seattle. Don’t know if I ever will, but watching you is just close enough. Good to spend time with you virtually. You’re very good host.

Thanks for the video. I usually visit the Island every year. Ticket booked. I'll be heading in May 2024. I can't wait. Ill be staying with a friend. I was born in Victoria. Other than Victoria, I'll be going surfing in Tofino, and visiting family in Campbell River for a couple of days.

Love everything but specially the totem poles as well the park at the end.

I guess you couldn’t resist to stay another day… 😂

What fantastic trip you had Dan.

Very cool 😎 the capital of British Columbia

Amazing City! ❤

I visited there several years ago. Your video refreshed my memory about my own trip. Thank you.

Amazing trip. It’s a really must if you are in Vancouver area.

O teu filme favorito?

I really like it everything on your video but I really loved the 2 waterfalls.

I confess that I haven’t heard anything about it before about this Highway but I confess that I’m impressed. Very cool video.

You’re travel videos are fun but most importantly they are very informative as well. I think enhances the whole thing.

It has been a pleasure to travel with you Dan. The images came out really nice. Thanks.

It seems very interesting and I love the clock. ❤

Wow, Vancouver looks absolutely stunning 😂❤

Best horror film ever. All in her head

Thanks for the great review! When I saw it in 1987, it became my favorite film. It's now 2023, and it's still my favorite. Movies with uncommon friendships and quirky characters are always so wonderful. Add a unique, perfect setting like "Bagdad" and the music, and this is an underappreciated gem of a movie.

Is there any actor or director you’d love to have a Q and A with?

Hi Daniel, very interesting. See you in December

very informative ! wanted to pick this one up after watching rashoman, and wasn’t sure which version to go with. went with the criterion dvd, because i know how much of an issue licensing has been for old boy (one of my favorites) and figured i could just buy the ran critereon bluray whenever it comes out

Klaus Maria Brandauer will turn 80 this Thursday.

Where can we watch this movie Mefisto?

Tarr was interested in only making a film about those characters and he mentioned it as a love story. As an artist, its fair that he didnt want his work to be mis interpreted on a public forum and he wanted him to watch it again to get a better perspective.

You can tell Tarr is very intelligent and connected to the real world. He speaks slowly and carefully being transparent about his views.

What amazing art pieces they are. Something for my next trip to the Coachella Valley to see… yeah! ❤
