In the room on August 9, in collaboration with Music Pool, the tribute to Pier Paolo Pasolini, on the hundredth anniversary of his birth: an exclusive interview with Ascanio Celestini, master of storytelling theater, edited by Stefano Fabbri, authoritative signature of Florentine journalism. Celestini has carried out a careful research with testimonies and documents to recover the most important moments of that often forgotten piece of history, and narrate them in his show “Museo Pasolini”. Following the screening of the film “Centoventi contro Novecento”: in the football field of the Citadel of Parma to face each other are the teams of two films that are being shot simultaneously in the area: “Novecento” and “Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma”. In front of each other there are two great film stars: Bernardo Bertolucci and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In the film the director Alessandro Scillitani tells the ‘partitella’ organized to reconcile the two directors, dedicating a wider space to Pasolini, in telling his passion for sport and attention to the urban and existential suburbs.

The film program, curated by Spazio Alfieri, includes the best auteur films of the season, begins with “Nostalgia” by Mario Martone with Pierfrancecso Favino, winner of four Nastri d’Argento films, where Martone’s visceral love for Naples, and Ermanno Rea, who wrote the novel on which the film is based, permeates every frame.

The journey ends at the old and grumpy Howard’s secluded farm, from which Wayne has rented a rather shabby outbuilding that, unbeknownst to the old man, will be the set of the porn, titled The Farmer’s Daughters. Everything seems perfect and the enthusiasm in the crew is not lacking as filming begins. But Howard’s elderly wife is on guard and has strange ideas.

di Wes Anderson
con Benicio Del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand
Genere commedia, drammatico durata 108 minuti. Produzione Usa 2021.

Anderson è riuscito ancora una volta ad unire follia, sogno e umorismo in una pellicola variopinta e stratificata. Un film da vedere e rivedere, un vero e proprio percorso tra i mezzi d’espressione più potenti del XX Secolo: il cinema e la carta stampata. In occasione della morte del suo amato direttore Arthur Howitzer, Jr., la redazione del French Dispatch, una rivista americana a larga diffusione che ha sede nella città francese di Ennui-sur-Blasé, si riunisce per scrivere il suo necrologio. I ricordi legati a Howitzer confluiscono nella creazione di quattro articoli: un diario di viaggio dei quartieri più malfamati della città, firmato dal Cronista in Bicicletta; “Il Capolavoro di Cemento”, la storia di un pittore squilibrato rinchiuso in carcere, della sua guardia e musa, e degli ingordi mercanti d’arte che vogliono le sue opere; “Revisioni a un Manifesto”, una cronaca d’amore e morte sulle barricate all’apice della rivolta studentesca; e “La Sala da Pranzo Privata del Commissario di Polizia”, una storia di droghe, rapimenti e alta cucina piena di suspense.

Thursday September, 1 Surprise ending

di Mariano Cohn, Gastón Duprat
con Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, Oscar Martínez, José Luis Gómez, Manolo Solo
genere commedia, durata 114 minuti, Spagna 2021

Una commedia sulla feroce rivalità tra due attori con un talento enorme ma un ego ancora più grande. Giunto ad una veneranda età ma ancora assetato di gloria, l’imprenditore Humberto Suarez vorrebbe legare il proprio nome ad un’opera destinata a restare nella storia. Subito ha pensato ad un ponte, poi è stato attraversato da un’idea migliore: un film. Un capolavoro cinematografico. Finanzierà ogni cosa, ma esige il meglio: il romanzo di un premio Nobel, la regista più in auge del momento, gli interpreti più bravi. L’eccentrica, elegantissima, visionaria Lola Cueva dirigerà dunque Félix Rivero e Ivàn Torres nel ruolo di Manuel e Pedro, fratelli di sangue e rivali in amore, in una tragedia che non risparmia colpi di scena.
