Absent fiches film by Terence Young Bibliography My friend Terence Aldo Zezza About the Author | Merit indisputable, Edizioni Il Foglio is working on a research gaps left Italy in the literature and film groped to fill them. Now the burning time competition, as in the case of the volume on Paul Thomas Anderson, now rescued authors instead inexplicably no one is spun in time. The cinema of Terence Young , edited by Mario Gerosa (editor in chief of Architectural Digest AD, not much) belongs to the second row. Director too multifaceted, diverse and vital to be captivated by a single genus, Terence Young is the most remembered only as the father of the first James Bond film (he directed the first two adventures in the 007 and the third episode of the British series) and little else. When the filmmaker goes well remember Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn and the western with Charles Bronson titled Red Sun . The rest of his vast filmography seems wrapped in a nebula unexplored, either by the superficiality of Italian critics who struggled to find a definition for his poetry and so consequently a place for his films, either because the younger generation, those who eat bread and dvd, you see immediately to clip their wings because of Terence Young has left little in digital. To celebrate so much eclecticism, diversity of views, covering a period film forty years long, frequent jumps between one kind and another, between film and cinema top down, the author chooses a different approach attrettanto. After two brief introductions, the book tries to shed light into the infinite world of Young through a series of interviews and testimony that will return the eclectic character: Mario Gerosa meets, among others, Ursula Andress, Luciana Paluzzi and Ennio Morricone, research those first-hand information unavailable otherwise. But the backbone of the entire volume of the ballots were monographs devoted to film: while the press reviews in other publications may be little more than a filler, the difficult accessibility of many of the films Terence Young makes the cards the only way to know for certain films. Of course every now and then a large space devoted to the summary of the plot can irritate the most experienced player, but they are venial sins to work very much information. Some reviews would have deserved a greater depth, for other movies you could devote more space, but it is still the first word on the subject. who has always associated the cinema of Terence Young only to the first adventures of James Bond now has the material with which to think again.
