Malena

Drama

Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore

12-year-old Renato experiences three significant events on the same day: the beginning of the Second World War, getting a bike, and witnessing the arrival of the gorgeous Malèna. Through his eyes, we see the curse of beauty and loneliness of Malena, whose husband is presumed dead, and, through his soul, we see his love for her. From TMDB

    Lying to smear a role model is uncivil, as is whataboutism. Not that it's going to stop you from spreading disinformation to suit your agenda, but just to set the record straight: > Contrary to the rampant online rumors, Greta Thunberg’s net worth is estimated to be **$100,000** as of 2025. Unlike many public figures, Thunberg does not profit from her activism. She has made it clear multiple times that any earnings from her book sales or speeches go directly to charity. > One particularly…

    Watching Melania ramble on during her presser today... I was reminded of the amazing actress, Monica Bellucci in the movie, Malena. If you've not seen it, I won't spoil it. If you have seen it, may Melania be subject to the same treatment. Traitorous hag.

    Malena 2000 I was in the mood for something different last night and this came up. It is a World War 2 Italian movie. Once again they prove that it is not Dracula or the Wolfman but people who are the real monsters. Very well done and worth the watch for sure :)

    The Wailing (2024, dir Pedro Martín-Calero). Original title (ES): *El llanto* (The Crying) Everything begins with a distant, waning cry. After Andrea first hears it, she feels a terrifying presence chasing her. A presence she cannot see, understand, or fight back. Twenty years before and thousands of miles away, Marie was haunted by the same harrowing force. Something stalks them, and provokes unthinkable acts of violence with one eerie thing in common: that disturbing sound of a wailing. When…

    [Here](https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=1808831215) is a sample of the scene from Pornhub. It belongs to [We Live Together](https://www.realitykings.com/scene/7893/licking-and-kissing) from Reality Kings. If you like this kind of performance, you can not go wrong with any scenes with Malena.

    The Fifth Seal: The Wheel of Fortune. Excerpt: **The Fifth Seal – Chapter VI THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE The Revelation of Saint Michael** The Institute of Saint Michael stood on the outskirts of the town, surrounded by vast stretches of land used for wheat cultivation, bordered by long rows of leafy oak trees, in a rural area with few nearby homes. Endless plains adorned the horizon beneath the sky. The school itself occupied what had once been a three-story hacienda, decorated with tall pillars…

    Pure European cinema nostalgia. Monica Bellucci in Malèna (2000) is a timeless masterpiece of beauty and heartbreak. The sun-drenched Sicilian squares and that iconic lighting scene perfectly defined an era of passion. 🚬🌹 What movie always evokes deep nostalgia for you? #Malena #Cinema #Vintage

    Monica Bellucci in Malena. A film about a gorgeous woman in a small town that tries to destroy her cuz they’re so jealous, told from the perspective of the boy that love her. It rocked my world a bit tbh. A grim (yet somehow romantic?) look at how folks actually respond to beautiful women.

    When I lived in NY we had an international movie channel and a kung fu channel, and they were the only two I watched. Some of my favorites were Valentin, The Italian (a Russian movie), Malena (with Monica Belluci), and another one I can't of the name of. I'll try to look it up.

    The new Malena Szlam film is insanely good. I could tell this even on a screener with the light glaring on my computer screen in the middle of the Scotiabank Theater. I’m guessing on projected film it was mind blowing.

    I browse IMDb's "Most popular" chart quite a lot and there's some films I genuinely wonder if their audience is being continually replenished by people discovering the nude scenes. I have never once heard a single person mention the Monica Belucci film "Malena". I know exactly two things about it.

    And before you think I’m idly tagging #NeilGaiman, this man was INCREDIBLY kind to me in my early journalistic career, when I wrote for Cinefantastique. Not to mention his assistants at the time, Lorraine and Malena, gave me a song to use in my vampire film. So there’s some legitimacy, darn it!

    This movie is a masterpiece of storytelling. It explores the themes of loss, grief, and growing up in a captivating way that resonates with anyone who has faced challenges in life. It balances the drama with moments of humor, especially in the interactions between the young boy and his father, who have a realistic and touching bond. The ending was satisfying and emotional.
