Fight Club Movie Review & Film Summary (1999) | Roger Ebert

"Fight Club" is the most frankly and cheerfully fascist big-star movie since "Death Wish," a celebration of violence in which the heroes write themselves a license to drink, smoke, screw and beat one another up.

Roger Ebert gave The Fight Club a low 2 stars review. Even one of the most acclaimed directors gets sometimes a bad one. 

Remember if David Fincher couldn’t please Ebert, don’t try to please everyone. Make the films you WANT to make. 

This commercial was made by Sonia and Miriam Albert-Sobrino (A.K.A. Also Sisters). Produced by Ellen Bromberg and Kevin Hanson.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE FAILURE? All of these films performed really badly on the Box Office or were butchered by well known film critics. 

Even when actually failing, remember “ Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.” Quote by John Dewey.

The Story of a Satellie Film Review by Danai Pagoni. 

Rafael has lived in fear of the sky collapsing on his head for twenty years, ever since his father’s sudden death by a falling satellite. Marked by the incident, Rafael, now an undertaker, has grown up wary of the slightest unusual sound. Artfully portrayed by Alfonso Míguez, Rafael is an eccentric yet likeable young man, who spends time in a bunker, wears a protective helmet, and monitors electromagnetic forces with a hand-held device.
Then one day, a revelation begins to turn Rafael’s life upside down. He soon embarks on a quirky and emotional journey of self-discovery, accompanied by his young friend Melito, a curious child, wiser and more mature than Rafael himself. Like Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, the two will stumble into strange and unexpected situations in their search for truth.
The Story of A Satellite is a series of incredible, stylised shots, reminiscent of Wes Anderson’s best. Each frame tells its own story, and the greyish hues create a sense of haunting nostalgia. Refreshing, funny, but at times shockingly sad, this is a black comedy that reminds us “not to fixate on the sky or miss the life around us.”

Meet the Film: “The Story of a Satellite” // Synopsis: Almost 20 years after his father was crushed by a falling satellite, Rafael, an undertaker, realizes that his whole life has been orbiting in the wrong direction. With the help of his own “Sancho Panza,” Melito and Rafael will begin a trip that they could have never anticipated.
