Lupo. Film one. Menachem Golan is a producer, director and screenwriter who has worked on many films of different directions and quality. During his rather long career, he had a hand in both passing and iconic paintings. The filmography of Golan includes two and a half hundred films. Just look through the list of movies and you will realize that many of them, if not seen, at least heard about them. The lesser-known headlines also hide a lot of interesting pictures for those who found video rentals and are nostalgic about the time. But this picture from an earlier period Golan, as I understand it, on the media we did not come out. Almost half a century has passed since the release of the film, and then it suddenly surfaced on TV, with a translation.
Movies about peculiar characters are not uncommon, "Lupo" it is from this category, but do not expect that you will show someone who looks like already beloved and popular heroes. Here the authors rather have a different idea and it does not spoil the film, and shot decently. More than once you catch yourself thinking that if the writers developed this or that topic touched upon by them, it would be much more interesting, but it would not be quite "Lupo". The editing looks odd in a couple of places, but that’s the fault of more significant films. The acting is fine, almost. There was one not very convincing episode, but it quite fits into this film, corresponds to his mood. Everything else is harmonious. The music was chosen wisely, not a single superfluous composition was noticed, but there is nothing to take from the soundtrack to the collection.
"Lupo" can hardly be called a masterpiece, but after watching it today, almost 50 years after its release, you do not regret watching it. The film looks easy, but there is no special delight. I can only recommend the film to those who are interested in films of those years. Especially rare and passed by. Good to see you!
