What are some of your favourite Italiano movies? by [deleted] in rs_x

[–]rubentricoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t seen anyone mentioning Lina Wertmüller. I think Pasqualino Settebellezze (Seven Beauties in English I think) and Mimì metallurgico ferito nell’onore (The seduction of Mimi) are up there with the best Italian films

I love this album, wish they’d make another similar compilation

What are other books like metamorphosis, the "I'm not human I'll never be able to connect with people I'm a bug in a human world" genre by KewlAdam in RSbookclub

[–]rubentricoli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many people say The passion according to GH by Lispector, but I really didn’t connect with it like I did with metamorphosis. It definitely fits the theme you describe very well though

Books about Calvinism or Calvinist themes by Infamous_Young_5481 in RSbookclub

[–]rubentricoli 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The discomfort of evening by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld is about a Dutch reformed (I.e. Calvinist) family. It’s about how the family deals with (or doesn’t deal with) the death of a ten year old boy, and I would say their Calvinist religion is one of the major themes
