L'Europeo Magazine № 90 | The Great Films (that no one saw) | April/May 2024
Elephant Bookstore has the honour of being the sole distributor of L’Europeo magazine in the Bulgarian digital space.
It is time to dream of Orson Welles and Salvador Dalí in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s unmade Dune; to hear Pink Floyd’s soundtrack playing in our minds for that film; to imagine how Don Quixote and Sancho Panza would have behaved according to Orson Welles the director; to take a mental stroll with Marcello Mastroianni through the actually built ghost city in Fellini’s The Journey of G. Mastorna; to fantasise about walking in Napoleon’s footsteps as envisioned by Stanley Kubrick or Charlie Chaplin, instead of being irritated by Ridley Scott’s megalomaniacal mediocrity in his oppressive interpretation…
In dreams, there is no censorship, and their bluish transparency whispers of the only true greatness a human being can attain.
