Kindar the Invulnerable

Directed by Osvaldo Civirani, 1965

Starring Mark Forest, Mimmo Palmara, Rosalba Neri, Dea Flowers, Howard Ross, Giulio Tomasini, Hussein Kandil, Omar Zolficar and Sherifa Maher.

A walled city built around an everflowing river in the desert is impregnable until the king's invulnerable son, Kindar, is taken hostage and raised by the ambitious Seymuth (Mimmo Palmara). He says that the desert gives nothing but what one takes. He is obsessed with the idea of taking over the city and keeping it for himself. He comes so close after deceiving Kindar by turning him into a warrior at the age of 20. However, Kindar (Mark Forest) falls in love with his slave, Kira (Rosalba Neri), who turns out to be his real brother's fiance - who then comes to rescue her, which leads to a fight in which Kindar is mysteriously halted and finds himself unable to go through with the act of killing his opponent.

When Kindar then sneaks behind the city walls to retrieve his lost love she explains that he must be the one prophesied in ancient times. The Sultan's son, born of lightning from the god Horus, destined to successfully defend his people from any threat. He was believed to be born invulnerable to all scourges save the 'red flower' and tested with daggers during infancy to make that the priest's claim was true. The evil bandit is turned away just when he expects his fake son to ram the city gates for him and his men to charge through. A battle ensues and the desert bandit is wounded. He is then struck by the revelation that the red flower symbolises fire. Fortunately, once he has rescued the love of his life, Kindar is saved by his brother Siro (Howard Ross). While all of this is going on, Kindar, luckily, is assisted by a submissive admirer named Nefer (Dea Flowers). And Kidar does actually fulfil the prophecy by becoming Utor's champion.

The CIA smuggles Coleman out of the country to Geneva with Fleming taking his place to discover who is behind the murders. This opportunity arises when Coleman has plastic surgery to alter his face for his protection. The major stumbling block to the scheme is Coleman's wife. Fleming contacts the wife in Casablanca explaining the scheme but she demands proof by speaking to her husband by telephone.

I'm Not The Man I Used To Be

Fine Young Cannibals, 1988







When I'm in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there's a feeling I can't accept
There's one thing, helps me to forget
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
If life were easy and didn't ask
Didn't tease me or take things back
I could start to understand
What makes me the man I am
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I'm not the man I used to be
I've lost dreams that won't come back
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones I have
What's the use? 
Most of them are bad
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I can't explain
But I'm not the man I used to be
It's a shame, don't know my name
I can't explain
I'm not the man I used to be
Do you know my name? 
Do you, do you need me? 
But I'm not the man...

Driftwood

Aggie Hsieh feat. William Wei, 2013

The last song from the soundtrack of the film Upside Down









English Translation

Where was I planning to go?
Which direction was I originally facing?
How did I end up here?
Holding on with my last breath, my bedraggled appearance,
Lying with you on the beach.
The lighthouse still lights up the scene.

The clouds scatter, the wave recedes.
The dream awakes, but the fever has not broken.
I didn’t even know you were stranded.
But you still have my embrace.

I was going to go to many places,
I was going to go with the flow to see many scenes far away.
How would I know that leaving the earth,
Leaving home, would mean being burned by the ocean waves?

Lying with you on the beach.
The lighthouse still lights up the scene.

The clouds scatter, the wave recedes.
The dream awakes, but the fever has not broken.
I didn’t even know you were stranded.
But you still have my embrace.

The clouds scatter, the wave recedes.
The dream awakes, but the fever has not broken.
I didn’t even know you were stranded.
But you still have my embrace.
You still have my embrace.

Chinese Lyrics

本来要去什么地方
本来要往什么方向 眺望
怎么沦落这个地方
苟延残喘狼狈不堪 模样
陪着你躺在沙滩上
灯塔还兀自照亮

云散了 浪退潮
梦醒了 却没退烧
就连你搁浅了也不知道
但你还有我的拥抱

本来要去很多地方
本来顺着憧憬看向远方
怎么知道离开土壤
离开家乡却被海浪灼伤

陪着你躺在沙滩上
灯塔还兀自照亮

云散了 浪退潮
梦醒了 却没退烧
就连你搁浅了也不知道
但你还有我的拥抱

云散了 浪退潮
梦醒了 却没退烧
就连你搁浅了也不知道
但你还有我的拥抱
你还有我的拥抱

Recommended



"Blood and Black Lace is a celebratory proto-giallo that, despite its many imitators, is still fresh and perilously glamorous."


The score, composed by Carlo Rustichelli, is outstanding, particularly the main theme, 'Atelier.'
