Before all, I admit that the only reason cause i wanted to see this movie was the beautiful Elena Bouryka... Agente Matrimoniale (Wedding Agent), the first movie of director Bisceglia, is the story of Giovanni a guy who goes back to Sicily with Filippo, an old university friend who is an expert in making ends meet. Filippo offers Giovanni a position as partner in his wedding agency, ready to do anything, including lying to make its clients' dreams of love come true. Cause of a misunderstanding, Giovanni will know Aurora... The protagonists are young and nice and quite popular in Italy, especially Corrado Fortuna (My Name is Tanino) and Nicola Savino (famous Italian deejay). Good movie to spend 90 minutes in relax.

Roberto Mauri ("Eva, la Venere selvaggia") was not a great director and this "Madeleine, Anatomia Di Un Incubo" is not even his most famous movie. This is a rare and obscure film, it has some nice ideas but the director doesn't follow them very fine and so we get a confusing plot. The end of this ambitious movie is quite original and interesting tough, if we think this is from 1974. I recommend to see it only for the surprising end. There is the usual Camille Keaton ("Day of the Woman", "Cosa avete fatto a Solange?"), beautiful woman but mediocre actress.

My vote is 6 on 10.

"Luci Lontane" is a simple Italian science fiction movie with a really good cast. Tomas Milian (Traffic, Amistad, etc) was very popular in Italy for different roles but here he does a great work playing a man who loses the wife. But his son keeps on seeing the mother... Plot will quickly turn in a simple science fiction story. Not bad also Laura Morante (La Stanza Del Figlio). Branduardi's soundtrack is melancholic and it gives some "maturity" to the movie. The only special effects for this movie are simple blue laser lights. Italians science fictions movies,as we know, were quite poor. My vote is 6 out of 10.

Luci Lontane = Distant Lights
