Looking at source document of the UNESCO document it has the correct subject, length and producer so I think so. The link only has three short clips and not the full film.
Brutally direct and powerful in the true documentary scenes, especially the stripper scene, but the acted/staged scenes irritated me and ended up making it a weird and unbalanced mix. Still worth viewing for the good parts.
Interesting list, thanks for putting it up. Small error: according to the source you have the incorrect Unforgiven, it should be the Clint Eastwood one from 1992.
It's an adaptation of one of the stories in the 14th-century medieval allegory the Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, namely the second tale of the fourth day.
Friar Alberto deceives a woman into believing that the Angel Gabriel is in love with her. As an excuse to sleep with her, Friar Alberto tells her that Gabriel can enter his body. Afterward, for fear of her kinsmen, he flings himself out of her window and finds shelter in the house of a poor man. The next day the poor man leads him in the guise of a wild man into the piazza, where, being recognized, he is apprehended by his fellow monks and imprisoned.
There have been many movie adaptations of the Decameron, the most famous being Il Decameron by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
I used to live in Chappaqua, a sleepy little suburb with not much happening. Never thought that if somebody made a movie about it, it would turn out like this!
1. I use the site to find new movies and finish lists. The watchlist for lists and movies are very helpful to keep track of what I want to see.
2. I think the search and filtering of results could be vastly improved. The results are not always as one would intuitively expect and you can't use filtering to help clean up the results. I still don´t know what filters are available and there are several which I would like to see added such as at least X numbers of lists/checks/votes, checked/unchecked.
The group section feels awkward, it could use more forum-options such as threads. Another thing I just thought of was allowing members (or) groups to pose and enter challenges as on the ICM-forum (http://s15.zetaboards.com/iCheckMovies/index/).
Recommendations are usually not very accurate, the formula behind this could probably use tinkering but this could be different for other (types of) users. Maybe make it tweakable as to what factors are considered or how they are weighted?
The charts are ok but I would like to see the awards-chart back, I personally thought that was a lot of fun. Cheaters are the reason it was removed in 2.0 but with the amount of charts completed by the top charts, cheaters would now have to check off 40+ charts in order to even get noticed. Others charts would be more interesting if the filtering works better (filtering out seen movies out of most checked)
3. I don´t use the groups, neighbours, recommendations and most charts.
