“The Color of Money”
The color of money. United States, 1986 (113 minutes). Director: Martin Scorsese. Cast: Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.
Eddie Felson always stayed in the memory of the film viewer floating next to a pool table. Robert Rossen filmed his Heartache and Dreams in 1961 and delivered a masterpiece called The Hustler. Martin Scorsese meets him again after 25 years, again under the features of Paul Newman, to elaborate a clear and bitter reflection on triumph and failure. In short, about the loss of innocence. And it so happens that Felson, already retired, teaches a young and naïve Tom Cruise pool and transports him to the world of easy money and greed, while Scorsese’s almighty camera pursues them envelopingly and hyperactively.

‘the American’
The American. United States, 2010 (105 minutes). Directed by Anton Corbijn. Cast: George Clooney, Irina Bjorklund, Johan Leysen.
The classic thriller can still have its place in contemporary cinema. Committed to imitating the manners and intentions of an almost extinct genre, the American, thanks to a staging of laborious sobriety and meticulous attention to detail, at times approaches the formal iciness of the French polar. The unflinching face of the great George Clooney supports this startling glimpse into the depths of a hitman on a quest for unlikely redemption.

“The End of Romance”
The end of the affair. United Kingdom, 1999 (103 minutes). Director: Neil Jordan. Cast: Julianne Moore, Ralph Fiennes.
Neil Jordan has never been a media director, but without fanfare he has built a career that includes unforgettable works such as In the Company of Wolves, A Game of Cry and the recent Breakfast on Pluto. This approach to Graham Greene’s literary work, in which Jordan leaves his usual Irish territories, moves to London during World War II, and a story explodes with an aggravated romantic flavor. A suffocating film with an inevitably bitter aftertaste, The End of Romance plunges its seedy characters into a sentimental relationship fueled by passion and resentment.
