Facendo un Giro di con Tourette's

Quentin Tarantino on the state of Italian filmmaking:

"New Italian cinema is just depressing," Tarantino said. "Recent films I've seen are all the same. They talk about boys growing up, or girls growing up, or couples having a crisis, or vacations of the mentally impaired."

Tell me about it. If I see Roberto Benigni in another "Rain Man Lives La Dolce Vita," sto andando vomitare, if you know what I mean. Though maybe I should dust off my screenplay (you know, the one about the oft-bullied but smart and witty adolescent boy who is basically raising his sister (who has Down Syndrome) on his own because his widowed schizophrenic mother has two personalities that are constantly falling in and out love with each other, but they all bond together on a peaceful little trip to the ocean and have a nice time until the sister almost drowns) and have it translated into Italian.
