Eastern Reels Live by Southern Docs Love, Die by Sword Rock the Gondola

ot nearly as beautiful as Malena, but far more piercing in its social critique of Sicilian society, “I Cento Passi” is an anti-mafia story with a cinematic salute to N mafia films. “I Cento Passi” (one hundred steps) is a true to life film of Italian leftist hero Giuseppe Impastato, born into a mafia family but resentful of its crimes. Struggling against the codes of honor instilled in him — respect thy father, and respect thy mafia — Impastato never comes to terms with the conditions of his southern life. Instead, he elevates his personal grief into a public war, broadcasting streams of conscious derision against the mafia, publicly humiliating il capo and his father. In the film, moments of death become part of the Sicilian landscape, and as it gor- geously and darkly captures the years in which Italian life was engrained with mafia crimes. (JG)

ho knew such a great religious film could come from a Marxist, homosexual atheist? Mel Gibson ain’t got shit (excuse my non-sacred Italian) on Pier Paolo W Pasolini; his minimalist — and most literal — portrayal of the Greatest Story Ever Told doesn’t stray from the text, focusing on Christ’s revolutionary social message, from nativity to resurrection. Pasolini never denies the divinity or humanity of the purported son of God, and seamlessly substitutes Matera, a town of virtual caves, for the Holy Land, giving it a more realistic ruggedness than the plastic-thatched roofs and cardboard stables of Hollywood. Though a non-believer himself, Pasolini deals with the life of Christ (whom he called “the greatest hero of all time”) without a political soapbox, and gives a firm testa- ment of faith in — if not the almighty — the hope of the common man.

It hurts still if there is a real hard ball shot at me, but I played through the pain with a splint and took one for the team. It’s a running joke on the team that I don’t have a backup.” The Tritons only had a few precious days of rest before they squared off on Oct. 10 against Cal State Dominguez Hills, back home at the Triton Soccer Stadium. Unfortunately for the Tritons, the No. 25 Toros punched in a last minute goal to send UCSD home with its first league loss. Further information was not available as of press time. Following the Tritons’ test against the Toros, UCSD will trek to Cal State Los Angeles to play the Golden Eagles, who have gone 2-0-1 and have allowed no goals since falling to UCSD on Sept. 23. UCSD will hope to regain its composure after the disap- pointing loss to Cal State Dominguez Hills, and the squad will undoubtedly be hoping to make a statement as it gears up for the postseason.
