My blog reviews movies as political, historical or social commentary with intentional disregard for their artistic or cinematic value. One foe of American political scientists and economists is that they ignore movies as sources to inform them on changes in American culture, view exoticism as a hallmark of "foreigness" and, at the same time, impart American values and judgment to foreign movies.

PS is simply genius, the only great Italian director who had burst out of confines of Apennines peninsula since the death of Federico Fellini 27 years ago. He is so weird, brilliant and nothing makes sense in these series until it finally does. Also he looks like a stray dog transmogrified into human form.
