Il film sugli Stati Uniti più rivelatore degli ultimi tempi è una produzione italiana. Lo ha diretto Roberto Minervini, marchigiano residente da tempo in Texas, che, dopo un percorso di vita accidentato, è diventato un nome noto ai festival internazionali. Dopo due film a soggetto che stavano tra Terrence Malick e Rossellini, il suo primo titolo a uscire in Italia è stato il documentario “Stop the Pounding Heart”, ritratto delicato di un’adolescente in crisi in una famiglia di fondamentalisti cristiani, nel Texas devoto al rodeo e alle armi.

MAMA mia! Michelangelo Antoni oni has a right to sing the blues. Until a few days ago, he was sit ting on top of the movie world: the establishment critics endorsed him, the auteur crowd adored him, the public stood in line and paid for the privilege of applauding him. Everybody dug his dissection of the bored Italian bour geoisie in “L'Avventura” and “La Notte” and “Eclipse” and “Red Desert,” and they grooved merrily along with the dissolute London swingers in “Blow‐Up.”
