) is a delightful movie about some would - be film producers in late 1940s sicily trying to earn a fast post - war lira by making a film about cagliostro. for reasons difficult to fathom, or perhaps best left unexplored, the amazing story of giuseppe balsamo has always appealed to a certain esoteric population intrigued by black magic, the occult and secretive freemasonry .

in their attempt to make a great film, the la marcas encounter all of the typically palermitan charlatans and would - be actors created in the image of the real cagliostro. things get more and more bizarre as the project develops. this is one of the rare motion pictures about making a motion picture that captures the true essence of its subject. it' s a parody of a parody .

cagliostro: and what' s happening to me now is just another one of those trials .
cagliostro: (hah—i knew it all along. there are a bunch of brats here. )
if the catholic church is pungently satirized and the political world derided, it’s nothing compared to the ferocious treatment given the cinema. far from an affectionate portrait of post - war filmmaking, the story of trinacria films is one long tale of stupidity, incompetence and commercial disaster .
in the sicily of the late 1940s, two brother sculptors, tired of selling madonnas to the local churches, finally realize their dream, and set up a sicilian production company, thanks to the help of a local bishop. they start producing one box - office failure z - movie after the other, all with terribly bad local non - pros as actors. covered in debts, they finally have their great chance, when a local nobleman obsessed by magic decides to invest all his wealth in the making of a movie about cagliostro, just one year after orson welles' black magic (1949). they hire a famous american actor (robert englund) and start shooting
the return of cagliostro
.
shortly after arriving, they rescue a young girl from a car full of thugs, only to let her get captured again when lupin is knocked unconscious after tumbling down a cliff. they later discover that she is clarisse, princess of cagliostro and is engaged to be married to the count cagliostro, the country' s ruler. the count wants to recover the ancient treasure of the cagliostro family, and needs the princess' s ring to do so .
called — by its authors — a tribute to people led to ruin by the movies, “the return of cagliostro” is the acidic but amusing story of a declining american star who goes to sicily to shoot a film, with disastrous consequences. co - directors daniele cipri and franco maresco have gone for gentler comedy this time with wider appeal to italian audiences. offshore, the main draw will be robert englund (aka freddy krueger) cast against stereotype as the single normal character in a sea of monsters. it’s not much, but it may attract interest from distribs in search of the offbeat .
:
this is the scroll of thoth. herein are set down the magic words by which isis raised osiris from the dead.' oh! amon - ra - - oh! god of gods - - death is but the doorway to new life - - we live today - - we shall live again - - in many forms shall we return - - oh mighty one.'
a complicated film that was a long time in the making and which would never have seent the light of day if it weren’t for the commitment of a lot of very dedicated individuals. ciprì & maresco cut ...
the party fells the troops like so many dominoes thanks to cagliostro' s help. they then leave the facility without any further incident .
first part of the film is full of surreal invention, such as dancing priests in the cardinal’s antechamber and oversized genitals on the nude statue of a saint. the film’s dark humor lashes out spitefully at everyone, leaving no character to identify with, until a narrator appears out of nowhere midway through the story. by the time american gangsters and lucky luciano turn up, the film has pretty much run out of ideas. they may stand for the takeover of italian cinema by the hollywood model, but it’s a weak metaphor without much conviction .
cagliostro: alchemists go where their curiosity takes them. every secret the world holds is ripe for the plucking !
but the reason she volunteered to find the kidnappers has more to do with another part of her past .
starting with the scene where strange uses the eye of agamotto to turn back time and read the stolen pages from the book of cagliostro, the rest of the movie appears to take place continuously, without any big jumps in time. during this sequence of scenes, he' s confronted by mordo and wong, the london sanctum is destroyed, strange is blown into the new york sanctum, he explores it and fights kaecilius there, and on it goes right up through to the climax in hong kong .
cagliostro: it' s no surprise they came after a beautiful genius of an alchemist like me .
cagliostro: even the secrets better left alone... the mysteries better left uncovered. an alchemist brings them into the light ...
cagliostro: so i transmuted myself outside of the physical plane, created a new body, and then put myself right back in .
sure, the political wrangling of films like captain america: the winter soldier or iron man 2 are outside of their purview. but the world could seriously have used the help of someone as powerful as the ancient one during all these planet - sized threats. why has she been holding back ?
cagliostro: i was really planning on just lifting the seal on my old body .
but cagliostro pays no heed to the danger. a smile dances upon her lips .
shuffling stealthily away from the man, cagliostro makes her way toward a lone girl .
cagliostro: you crave it with every ounce of your being, don' t you—the truth that i alone have attained; the truth that you will never know .
cagliostro, who happens to be in the neighborhood, listens to ladiva' s plight with the kidnapped children. cagliostro lures out one of the kidnappers and uses him to lead her right to their hideout. after she and ladiva rescue the children, the two realize they are alike in more ways than one .
some time prior to the war between the sky dwellers and the astrals, cagliostro lived as a sickly boy close to death. with the aid of his younger sister, he pursued methods to avoid his early demise regardless of how the people in village thought. after many failures, cagliostro was able to create a new female body and transferred his soul into it. that wasn’t the end. she refined the technique and kept at her research, coining the term “alchemy, ” thus becoming the founder of the practice. word spread as cagliostro made her art grow, garnering awe and even disciples wishing to learn from her .
after chasing out the imperial soldiers from the village, the party goes to a nearby cave. inside they find the research documents that the erste empire seeks—except those documents turn out to be cagliostro' s diary .
lupin and clarisse, who have safely landed in the lake, watch the lake around the castle drains to reveal exquisite ruins. lupin and his friends take their leave of clarisse, now ruler of cagliostro, as zenigata chases after them again and fujiko makes off with the printing plates from the counterfeit money presses .
cagliostro: interpret it any way you wish. after all, this can only end with the lot of you in ouroboros' belly .
where most of the items on this list could be explained away with the proper application of magic, this one' s just a big, fat, glaring oversight in terms of logic. in the library at kamar - taj there is a section of books dubbed' the ancient one' s private collection, containing dark knowledge that no one but she could be trusted with. one of these books had the incantation for accessing dormammu' s dark dimension and the power of eternal life .
but if the second half of the film takes place over the course of a single day and night, that was quite a hike up the totem pole. he started the day as a student, and was practically (but not quite) the sorcerer supreme before he went to bed .
new to the film will be the ability for yo - kai to transform into
lightside
and
shadowside
forms. in these forms, yo - kai show different personalities, abilities, and appearances. jibanyan, komasan, whisper, nurarihyon, lord enma, and slimamander will return in the film .

the ring turns out to be a practical joke left by lupin. infuriated, the count flushes him deeper into the cellars, which are full of bodies of spies who attempted to learn the secrets of cagliostro and the goat bills. while down there, lupin bumps into inspector zenigata, who was accidentally thrown down earlier. the two reluctantly form a pact to help escape. using two aqualungs dropped by elite soldiers, the pair escape .

the world being destroyed or absorbed or whatever dormammu was going to do is antithetical to the notion of never dying .
cagliostro: well, why not try? you' re burning with curiosity, aren' t you? you wish to know the deeper truths of the world ...
when the party shows concern over cagliostro' s condition, she tells them of her past and expresses her conviction to push past it all .
the man stands stolid, every fiber of his body brimming with hostility laid bare .
alchemist: i should have known better than to underestimate the legendary founder of alchemy .
though her body may be tiny, cagliostro sports an incredibly huge ego. the primary source of praise for her intellect, beauty, and power is herself. many times, the millennia old alchemist points out the perfectness of herself to the main character and their crew in an almost sickly sweet manner often appealing to the captain .
to match with the appearance of her youthful artificial body, cagliostro raises the tone of her voice and acts the part of an adorable little girl. she even adds to it with items such as dolls or stuffed animals, aiming to fluster and beguile her audience. cagliostro’s narcissism often shines through, jumping to the conclusion that a stranger approached her to ask her to be their poster girl in one instance .
cagliostro launches an attack on the erste empire alchemical labs, overrunning the imperial troops. yet slowly but surely, the seal continues to eat away at her .
when doctor strange snuck into the kamar - taj library and used the eye of agamotto to read the missing pages from the book of cagliostro, it wasn' t long before mordo and wong caught him red - handed. they launched into a stern lecture about the dangers of messing with time (which we' ll come back to in a minute), and wong put the evil volume back where it belonged .
the second animated lupin iii movie and arguably the most famous, castle of cagliostro was written and directed by hayao miyazaki (who also co - directed the first lupin iii tv series and directed two episodes of the second) before he formed studio ghibli. cagliostro features gentleman thief lupin iii, grandson to maurice leblanc' s french literary master thief arsène lupin .
by cagliostro' s wishes the party heads to a certain island. however, monsters block their path on the way there .
the ambitious la marca brothers establish trinacria films, seeking to make sicily, and particularly palermo, a centre of film production to rival rome. to achieve this they need the support of a cardinal, a politician and a local aristocrat. the baron, enchanted by the historical cagliostro, goes bankrupt trying to finance the doomed production. erroll douglas, an american actor well past his prime, and well into the grip of alcohol, accepts the title role .
cagliostro: i don' t know how they began to mistake it as some sort of research journal ...
cagliostro: i declined of course. and they thought they' d be able to force my obedience ...
but to align the story better with the recent tutankhamen discovery, the following story was crafted, with the name of tut' s queen ankh - es - en - amon serving as that of im - ho - tep' s forbidden lover .
making trouble with her trusty partner, ouroboros, cagliostro is attacked by the imperial soldiers. however, their reckless assault only further stimulates cagliostro' s sadism .
katalina: hm? now that i think about it, i' m pretty sure the founder of alchemy, cagliostro, was a man ...
the imbecility of the director (pietro giordano again), producers and gaffers who can’t agree on how to position a mattress for a stunt leap out of a window brings douglas to an end that few of freddy krueger’s victims would envy .
sandra hebron, the artistic director of the 47th london film festival (lff) has just announced the complete programme of this year' s event, which will be taking place from october 22 to november ...
the true cagliostro is quick to insult, very forceful, and enjoys using violence to solve problems, to punish, or just uses it as an outlet for her easily lit temper. when she first meets the main character’s crew, her innocent façade quickly faded and cagliostro attempted to feed the crew to her pet, ouroboros, for no dire reason. what stopped cagliostro was seeing convenience in joining the crew for protection and to have a means of travel. outside of the crew, cagliostro tends to talk down to the general populace and is annoyed by their low intellect .
after a series of flops, the la marca brothers come up with the idea of shooting a cheap rip - off of a successful cape - and - sword costumer about an 18th - century magician called cagliostro. erroll douglas (englund), an actor well down the road to sunset boulevard, is brought over from hollywood to play the lead. he’s the only professional on the set, but he can’t communicate because no one speaks english .
the party destroys the so - called adversa reborn, but by that time the man is already gone .
cagliostro: it was a hell of a long time ago... and i' m not talking metaphorically either .
cagliostro: and if they got their hands on a corrupted sort of alchemy geared toward decomposition, toward destruction ...
cagliostro: hehe. they' re welcome to try. in fact that would make quick work of this little job .
cagliostro: that' s right. and it was lyria' s power that obliterated the seal .
cagliostro: yeah... there' s a reason i' m the strongest after all .
arsene lupin iii and daisuke jigen are escaping on a fiat 500 pursuit after robbing the casino of monaco, only to discover that their entire haul is counterfeit. when lupin was just getting started as a professional thief, he was almost killed while searching for the source of these so - called goat bills. he decides that it is time to take another chance, and lupin, with jigen, heads off to the purported source of the bills, the principality of cagliostro .

cagliostro: i can change a lot with my alchemy, you know—like a child into an adult. or the masculine into the feminine .
by the time (captain)' s party destroys adversa, the alchemist has already run away. cagliostro tells the crew about the sort of foe who' d pose a threat to her, holding on to a faint hope to one day meet such a person .
one day, cagliostro was approached by the astrals and was promised great power in exchange for following their commands. it is unclear whether this happened before her sister’s death but cagliostro declined and soundly trounced the astrals when they tried to force the matter. that was not the last time cagliostro had come to odds with others due to her infamy .
even at the end of the movie, after strange saved loads of lives by rewinding things a few minutes, mordo was still all doom - and - gloom .
the bill always comes due ,
he liked to say. the implication being: screw around with time, and there will always be a price to pay. he' s so uptight about strange using the eye to undo the whole dormammu thing that you' d be forgiven for thinking mordo' s actually arguing for the end of the world. (we think it was more in the neighborhood of
the ends don' t justify the means .
)
cagliostro: their primal strength was a joke. so what exactly do you plan to do with that sham of a weapon ?
cagliostro loses her life in the search for alchemical materials. the crew stands dumbfounded as she rises again, a fearless smile on her face as she dispatches the troops with ease .
cagliostro ignores ladiva' s call and leaves with the man, a sincere smile plastered on her face .
cagliostro: hey there! isn' t this place so much fun? i love all the candy .
cagliostro: by the way... do you ever feel like you want to be something else ?
during the final fight in hong kong, stephen strange uses the eye of agamotto to reverse time to undo most or all of the damage kaecilius had unleashed. by turning time back far enough, he' s able to restore the hong kong sanctum, bring wong (and presumably other sorcerers and civilians) back to life, and undo a ton of damage to the city .
cagliostro: not much of a surprise there. if i were to die, you scum would have a lot to answer for .
cagliostro: you said you were a duelist before, right? sounds like this kind of job' s not up your alley .
for the first time ever, fathom events and eleven arts bring legendary director hayao miyazaki’s directorial debut film, lupin the 3rd: the castle of cagliostro, to u. s. cinemas nationwide for a special two - day event on september 14 and 19 only! lupin and jigen successfully rob a casino of millions, but only to find that the money is counterfeit. lupin notices how well the money is forged and decides to make his next target the possible source of the forgery, cagliostro. they enter the country and run into a car chase between a group of men after a girl in a wedding dress. lupin, who loves girls, decides to abruptly make a detour to assist the bride in her escape. they successfully outrun the men but have an accident. lupin goes unconscious but wakes up to find a ring with the royal crest of cagliostro in a white glove from the bride. this exciting two - night event also features never before seen special footage with creator comments
cagliostro: think of it as a bad turn of fate. i' m a nice person, so i' ll have him swallow you whole and make sure you don' t suffer .
strange man: ma' am... what would you say if i told you... that you look just like master cagliostro, the founder of alchemy ?
their escape leads them to the printing presses, where lupin and zenigata finally discover the source of the goat bills. zenigata wants to find evidence, but lupin points out they must escape first. they set the money and presses on fire as a distraction and steal the count' s autogyro. however, when they attempt to return to rescue clarisse, lupin is shot and critically wounded. clarisse offers her ring to the count in exchange for lupin' s life; the count' s attempt at betrayal is foiled when fujiko' s quick actions lead to an escape for her, lupin, and zenigata .
cagliostro: you people... i see. so that' s why the seal lifted ...
cagliostro: ugh... just remembering the crap i used to go through pisses me off ...
doctor strange uses several
time jumps
in its storytelling. we know it starts during the events of captain america: civil war, because war machine' s spinal injury was one of the cases offered to strange while he was driving his lamborghini before it crashed. we also know it ends shortly before next year' s thor: ragnarok. but the path it takes to get there is full of fits and starts. the first half of the film fast - forwards through several months of time from the car accident, strange' s recovery, multiple attempts to regain the use of his hands, to finally his training at kamar - taj. then the movie shifts into a different mode .
in rare instances, cagliostro can become flustered with those she is close to. the main character can get options that allow them to carry cagliostro or pat her head, resulting in the alchemist becoming embarrassed. clarisse can achieve at making her blush as well by calling cagliostro her mentor. she tries to cover with the fake adorable girl act or with cold words, though it’s obvious that cagliostro was affected .
hurricane matthew may have done a number on your roof, but it' s nothing compared to the chaos it wreaked on spooky empire. the annual horror convention had the bad luck to be scheduled for the very weekend that matthew hit the area, and ended up having to cancel with barely any notice. many attendees from out of town were stuck in their non - refundable hotel rooms, deprived of their planned photo ops, zombie walks and parties. it was a big blow to spooky, which is a labor of love run by a small cabal of horror fans who lack the deep pockets of, say, informa, the multinational corporation that owns megacon. luckily, most of the biggest names for the canceled october con are returning for this make - up date, including the

a group of actors and actresses gather in a remote northeastern town to rehearse for a mysterious stage production, only to be plunged into a hellish world where their real lives mirror the grisly story of the play .
the creator of alchemy in the skydoms, cagliostro sought to achieve immortality, and in turn, discovered a way to swap out her body at regular intervals. an extreme narcissist capable of creating her ideal body at will, she created her current self in the pursuit of idealized cuteness. however, her attempts at matching it with an equally cute voice often leave something to be desired. cagliostro is supremely confident, which causes her to view others as incompetent buffoons. forever greedy in the ever - changing world around her, cagliostro pursues alchemic research with single - minded stoicism .
― five years ago, i wrote a column about some of the works of nobuyuki fukumoto, a manga artist sometimes affectionately called fkmt by his fans. it was a celebration of milestones like akagi and kaiji, and several ...

one of the subtle messages of this movie seems to be that today' s palermo is not much different from the palermo of 1947. in many ways, of course, sicily has changed since 1947. this movie offers some keen social commentary about the catholic church, the italian political establishment and the declining nobility as they then existed and, in a more updated guise, still do. in fact, there are some not - so - subtle references to living sicilians .
the most help he received in the sanctum was from the cloak of levitation, a magic cape that allowed him to fly but also seemed to have a mind of its own. not only did it protect him from kaecilius' attacks, it directed him to that cage thing that immobilized the villain .

dropping into the roles of douglas / cagliostro like a tailor - made suit, englund uses his foreignness to distance douglas from the sicilian characters and his charisma to ironically bring the magician to life. only two other members of the cast, the amusingly well - cast burruano and scaldati, are professional actors, and it shows. as in their previous films, the directors prefer quick, satiric sketches to developed characters, a rather limiting carryover from their tv work .
( captain) and company manage to chase out the imperial soldiers occupying the village .
( captain) and company repel the agents and prepare to face the strange man .
she had the unfortunate experience of watching the empire steal away her sisters from her orphanage. so now she is determined to prevent other children from suffering .
imperial soldier: do whatever it takes to find it! there' s record of the founder staying here .
the party arrives at the village and finds imperial soldiers seeking research materials that cagliostro may have left behind in her heyday. she shouts obscenities at the imperial soldiers, angering them and causing them to attack .
cagliostro: what do you expect me to do but laugh? dignity... for alchemists? what sort of dignity can an alchemist have !
cagliostro: so there you have it. i' m kinda done with the whole being - sealed - away thing .
cagliostro: i' m not hiding anything from you. this is precisely how the world' s cutest girl acts .

holding on to yourself and not letting yourself become food is the primary life - denying negative act. you' re stopping the flow! and a yielding to the flow is the great mystery experience... . you, too, will be given in time .
at the root of this myth, then, is the demonstration that denial of death is an even worse death .

doctor strange is the fourteenth movie produced by marvel studios, and in several of the thirteen that came before, we' ve seen threats to the earth of a mystical nature. both thor films featured attacks on earth from other dimensions. a mystical being (loki) attacked earth with an alien army. then there are those pesky infinity stones that keep popping up; including the one in doctor strange, we' ve now encountered five of the six — and four of them have actually been on earth. and that doesn' t even get into all of the supernatural stuff that regularly turns up on agents of s. h. i. e. l. d. , like ghost rider or the darkhold book .

ladiva: (no. calm down first. if you take this man on right now, you might not find out the location of the children. )
cagliostro: heh... spoken like an adorable little tyke ...
lyria: but you' re pretty well off now, cagliostro ...
cagliostro: hehe... you speak if you actually had any dignity .
cagliostro: if those rivaling me in strength are really out there ...
cagliostro masks a quick glance around her surroundings behind an affected but gleeful expression .
cagliostro: oh no... don' t tell me ...
cagliostro: seems like this one' s not interested in separating those lips .
cagliostro: but it' s just supposition. you don' t have to—
emotionally, in the heat of the moment, it' s understandable that he' d want to take responsibility for her life himself. but not only does the notion of strange doing surgery at this time defy logic, it' s probably illegal. consider the extent of his injuries after the car crash, and the many months of surgeries and healing that were required. add months of his searching for experimental cures. finally, we have to assume that he studied under the ancient one for another period of several months, although the astral plane and the mirror dimension and all that could have helped to condense his training time. even though it was mentioned that he was picking up sorcery remarkably fast, it was all told probably more than a year since he' d last performed surgery. possibly a lot more .
katalina: this is surprising... i suppose your title as the founder of alchemy is no mere compliment .

ladiva was once a famed duelist who fought in the arena aboard the jewel resort casino .
cagliostro: now that you know my seal' s been lifted, i' m afraid all of you will have to bid farewell to this world .
his agents dispatched by (captain)' s party, the strange man reveals that he, too, is an alchemist. anxious to bind cagliostro, the alchemist summons a golem and sends it against the party .
cagliostro: but this power would come at a cost. the day would come when i would have to follow their orders .
alchemist: yes, bonds and all they entail... we alchemists seek to preserve the dignity of the art and will stop at nothing to do so .
cagliostro: hehe! course i did; don' t make me laugh! but first i kind of want some proof that he' s our guy .
cagliostro: sigh... i was only a little too late ...
cagliostro: i' ll punish you dearly now for underestimating me. prepare yourself !
cagliostro: wait, never mind that... yes! here it is !
cagliostro: i was born terribly sick in a small village with no doctors around .
cagliostro: heh heh heh... some hopeless little brats just never learn .
cagliostro: if you want, i could theoretically make that happen for you too .
studio trigger enlists the help of inferno cop director akira amemiya to reboot tokusatsu series ssss gridman (known to the us as superhuman samurai syber - squad !), and they showed the first episode at anime expo 2018 .
cagliostro: heck if i know what they want... but they' ve got another thing coming if they think the cutest girl in the world is gonna stand for this !
: originally, the story (by nina wilcox putnam; screenplay by richard schayer) was to have involved boris karloff playing cagliostro, an egyptian magician whose immortality comes from his self - injections of nitrates and who kills all women who remind him of one who betrayed him, using even radio and television rays. the film would have been called
despite cagliostro’s often depraved behavior and immoral means of feeding her ever present hunger for knowledge, there is a caring and fiercely loyal side to her. after traveling with the crew for some time, cagliostro is willing to throw herself into harm’s way when lyria is in danger. when it comes to the main character, cagliostro also shields them from danger and threatens others with death should they betray them. those being only a couple examples of that behavior, cagliostro either doesn’t mention anything regarding it or plays it off by saying that she had an ulterior motive. it can be unclear whether this is the truth but as time goes on, cagliostro herself admits that she has grown soft and aids the crew when she doesn’t stand to gain anything. along those lines cagliostro holds deep affection for her family. she became enraged when the helmuth guild created lies about her sister, and is a strict but patient mentor to her niece, clarisse .
so why were those cities chosen? we think it' s likely they' re built on lay lines, aka veins of mystical energy running beneath the earth. whether the cities already existed when agamotto built the sanctums, or the cities sprung up around the sanctums, is never explained, but either explanation could logically fit .
cagliostro: well then i' ll look into it and tell you everything i learn .
cagliostro: hehehe... as if you' d stand a chance against me.
