Abstracted Bliss, January 3, 2008
This review is from: WHAT? (Diary of Forbidden Dreams) - Roman Polanski, Sydne Rome (DVD)
...Perhaps, one of the best uses of Mastroianni in a supporting role that supports more roles than a circus. This is a classic, which deserves DVD distribution and should be in every Polanski fan library. Give, Take!

If you like the art of Milo Manara..., March 8, 2009
This review is from: WHAT? (Diary of Forbidden Dreams) - Roman Polanski, Sydne Rome (DVD)
...Polanski's 'What?' is the closest you will ever see to one of his books translated onto film. I've never read it mentioned anywhere, but I would be willing to bet that Manara saw the film when it was originally released and has been drawing variations on it ever since. Not only does it contain a lecherous Marcello Mastroianni (who has been drawn into a number of Manara adventures), the absolutely breathtaking Sydne Rome is the living embodiment of the 'Manara girl', and the surreal Alice-In-Wonderland-with-no-clothes-on script has exactly the same feel as the sweeter natured of Manara's confections. Polanski fans may find 'What?' bewildering, but Manara fans will be absolutely and utterly at home. I can't recommend it more highly.
