Ma chi muore
ha il potere, è un verde ritratto
se mostra la terra, se muore
più vivo o soltanto farfalla,
è autunno del volo il suo buio…

Io so che certi poeti sono amici
del colore sovrumano e del grigio
di ogni passo che si scorda.

''Alien' (1979) is an example of how a film can create tension regardless of story. What gives the film its tension is the sight of those empty halls, the steam & the noise, which has a very visceral impact. It wasn’t the jumps that were particularly effective'

— George A Romero

'Luchino Visconti never made a mediocre film and his masterpieces reach the heights of cinema. 'The Damned' (1969), at once illustrious and a little forgotten, is definitely one of his greatest & most misunderstood.

--- Olivier Assayas
