Allegro non troppo

The film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia, though possibly more of a challenge to Fantasia than parody status would imply. In the context of this film, "Allegro non Troppo" means Not So Fast!, an interjection meaning "slow down" or "think before you act" and refers to the film's pessimistic view of Western progress (as opposed to the optimism of Disney's original).

Master Cats

An example of 1970's Maple Syrup cinema from Quebec, this whimsical and sexy tale revolves around two trickster roommates and the women in their lives who want to see them settle down. The two insatiable male con artists seek to avoid marriage at all costs. The bachelors however seek a housekeeper. Who will they hire? A caricatured middle-aged faggot who will soon be affectionately called Môman. The heroes are understandably hesitant to have a faggot in the house, but it's better than a woman yearning for marriage. However, Môman has another function. The two “straight” heroes are far too intimate—they often sleep together, naked in the same bed, go to the bathroom together, and display a voyeuristic fascination with each other’s sex scenes.

The Tales of Hoffmann - Teatro Regio di Parma, 1988

"Despite the multitude of characters and situations, the plot is simple: the eternal flow of life. It is based on Les contes fantastiques d’Hoffmann, a play by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, who were inspired by some of the stories of the German E.T.A. Hoffmann. On a drunken night in the city, Hoffmann tells how he courted and lost three girls, his impossible loves: Olympia, a mechanical doll that only he believes to be truly human; Giulietta, the courtesan who steals his reflection in a mirror; and Antonia, a young woman who sings until she literally dies."
