Jacques Rivette
with Sergio Castellitto,
Jane Birkin (Br 2009-84 '- comedy)
in the French countryside, Vittorio, an Italian with no goal, stops for a few days in a small circus, fascinated by eccentricity of the group and from the soul of the troubled owner Kate
a caress. And 'that donated by matter of point of view the French master Jacques Rivette, 81 years and played so easily and still give the film to life. His latest film eschews metaphors and veils, deconstructs the set, raising the curtain on the art chores. Rivette talks about himself and his journey as a filmmaker. Beginning with his actors: Jane Birkin, the model of representation of all his heroines (he has already worked with Love in pieces The beautiful and sullen ), here the role of a tightrope walker who returns after 15 years the circus life and the torments of the past. Prisoner who has committed an error as the star of Suzanne Simonin, the religious (1967), in love with a ghost as Pauline in Out 1: Noli me tangere (1971), suspended on life as a tightrope walker Louise High, low , fragile (1991). The Birkin completes the fate of the characters rivettiani implied that as "all the dragons of our lives are princesses who suffer perhaps asking to be freed." He says the talented Sergio Castellitto in the film, I think the wise Rivette. The art has never been anything else: a liberation. And in a matter of opinion Castellitto is the director / demiurge, who gives order and meaning to a company of theater people lost. But it is also the viewer with which each artist is asked to confront, to understand, to do better.

Ti always love
Philippe Claudel with Kristin Sco tt Thomas, Elisa Zylbe rstein
(F r. / Germ. 2008-115 ' - drama)
Juliette, after 15 years in prison, his sister back home that the teacher Lea at home with her husband, two sons-in-law and silent, but its presence is likely to shake the 'family balance.
Juliette of the spirits, waves of memories the 'wait time and regret. The title combines the French verb in the past (I love you long time), the Italian one tip for the future. And the film is a magnificent example of European cinema, with interior action, very French, psychological analysis and suffering but also refined with two surprises, one after 30 minutes, the 'other harrowing, in the end. A story faded to female charms, but without much feeling. Philippe Claudel wants to pay homage to the strength of women to mend the pieces of life, themselves and others. An amazing Kristin Scott Thomas (Academy Award nomination was' s obligation) runs through the film looking in your eyes icy in which a seething impatience, remorse in the scene revealed mother also gives her answer in silence actress Elsa Zylberstein rare sensitivity, but they also mention all the contributions made by men, different and perfect. Thriller moral justice with mini gaps likely, but a dramatic texture of exceptional strength, capable of turning on a 'fun' emotional intellectual continuous. The Book (night is a comfort on the bed) is at the heart of 'attention and Leopardi quotes Dostoevsky and not random, but they say that Rohmer is our Racine, peeps out from the wall a poster of Lubitsch. A beautiful film that wins on any word in that cinema can be a Silence: trust.

Louise
Michel Benoît Delépine, Gustave Kervern
with Bou them Lanners, R obert Dehoux
(Br 2008-94 '- comedy)
A group of women laid off from a textile factory in northern France, invest groped for their clearance to remove the master, but choose the wrong killer, clumsy and grotesque ...
This story semi-serious (but funny!) of how a handful of customers have become used to a massacre of officials is one of the most genuinely anarchic and surreal films of the year, a true comedy of resistance to the civil and social life which is already pointed at the Rome Film Festival. Everything in it becomes an act of rebellion to an order also, and especially what the two protagonists poor (precisely and Louise Michel) do not mean it as such. The directors Delépine Benoît and Gustave de Kervern support (to anarchists) do not know the technique of cinema and simply to frame what they want to show, but it is absolutely true. They know it and how! There is no image behind the composition of which is not a deep reflection on what element of the scene should be underlined or not you hide behind which a moral evaluation. There is no shopping cart that is not essential (for comic purposes, impressive or narrative) and there is no forcing of the normal story that is a fine diversion useful to tell the world (such as the flashbacks are short of players) . They enjoy a simple but effective comedy, often triggered by the contrast between what is and what stage you can only hear fuoriscena. And even when they put a very short time it's sentimental moments to capture all made with great knowledge of cinema.

The s Pazi or white
Francesca Comencini
M argherita Buy, Antonia Truppo
(It. 2009-96 '- drama)
Alice came into the world too early, he spent only 6 months in the womb of his mother, Mary, who now must stand by, waiting to be born really.
White space is a time suspended, told by the imagination and talent of four women. Valeria Parrella wrote the novel, Francesca Comencini has brought to the cinema with a decisive contribution to the screenplay Federica Pontremoli, Margherita Buy Maria played with incredible skill. It is a film of women, perhaps even "for" women - and mostly it is the woman in couple dynamics, to choose the movie to go see. Good luck. In fact, if we say, see blank space may do very well for us men. Know, exactly, a "space" in which we expected, but where we can give our contribution, however, provided they are discreet. The strong message of the film is that there are situations in which men take a step back. Mary must find within himself the strength to hold out until Alice born in, or perhaps die. The other women are complicit, or examples: like the other mothers in the same situation, or as the magistrate who lives in his palace, always accompanied by the escort (we are in Naples, in the heart of Gomorrah) and away from her husband and children. But they are also warnings: how the patient walks on the hospital roof, and could also decide to take the plunge. It is a world in which women face challenges, fears, loneliness. But we do. Why am I like Valeria, Francesca, Federica and Margaret. Brave. And tough.

The Rea der - A loud
Stephen Daldry
with Ralph Fiennes, Kate Winslet
(USA / Germ 2008-124 '- drama)
In the post-war Berlin, the young Michael has an affair with an older woman with whom he is also reading classics. Become adult and lawyer, Michael remembers the mysterious woman who had discovered its dramatic past.
Stephen Daldry gives us an attempt at a synthesis of his previous films. For a look back attention to a crucial phase of growth as a teenager in Billy Elliot and the other the desire to experiment with a story that moves across multiple scenarios narrative as it was in The Hours . Why The Reader (which English preserves the intriguing assignment both male and female) is a story divided into two. In the first part combines with a lively look, and while searching, the male protagonist's sexual initiation with a hunger for literary culture of the woman who is offered with full availability. The language of the body together and that becomes the voice of the written word, with all the shades of meaning that implies, absorbs the viewer's attention. Almost suddenly, however, the film is exempt from this size to move the focus on the theme of guilt to the community that ends with reverb interpersonal dynamics bringing the narrative on track already visited the cinema more about the Holocaust. Having said that the interpretation of Kate Winslet is masterful though one wonders if it deserved an Oscar nomination for the most psychologically nuanced performance offered in Revolutionary Road.

is a New York ethnic, archaic, from the coarse and shadows deep one that likes to tell James Gray, a city of families, interiors, endless twilight and nights even longer. Returning to the neighborhood of its debut (the film was Little Odessa, 1995), Gray moves to a love story, a double triangle played comfortably in the maze and back of a musty old building near the sea. More or less inspired Dostoevsky's White Nights , Two Lovers moves almost entirely in a dimension of dreams, the abstract from real time (we are in this location but most evoke the '40s or '50s). It 'just that being so "other" that determines the charm of his research, his localism stubborn, the discretion in the observation of affection, attention to detail that tells the microcosm (Rossellini, to make sure she's all right, watches the children through the crack under the door ...). In his third with Gray, Joaquin Phoenix is \u200b\u200bthe central character but also a real function of the eye (in fact, Leonard's hobby is photography). His watch the two women and intermittent intertwined with them, is contemplating his future life, torn between romantic adventure and the unknown with no guarantees and feeling the warmth of a more discrete, anchored in a comfort zone without danger.

After film school in California, is in fact the departure of those with a bang: his first film Little Odessa shot just 25 he won the Silver Lion in Venice as well as winning the Volpi Cup for Best Actress went to Vanessa Redgrave. Thanks only to the quality screenplay manages to have its budget reduced despite an exceptional cast for a debut by an unknown author: Tim Roth, Vanessa Redgrave, Maximilian Schell and Edward Furlong in the service of a story focusing very hard on the Russian mafia in America. The great success allows the young director to gain immediate attention of the studios who snubs him to pursue his own idea of \u200b\u200bcinema. Six years after the first film comes his second film, produced by Miramax, The Yards, films in competition at the Cannes Film Festival with the young Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix and Charlize Theron and a budget in spite of all that Hollywood does not repeat the success of His feature film debut. In 2007, Gray realizes His third film, We Own the Night, an epic 80 years in New York also focused on stories of the Russian mafia ties and a family conflict in New York.

Que question of heart
Francesca Archibugi
Antonio with Albanian, Kim Rossi Stuart
(It. 2009-104 '- comedy)
Angelo is a young bodybuilder who accumulate assets, Alberto a successful writer who wastes words. Struck at the heart of a heart attack and life, are hospitalized in the same night and at the same clinic.
Life struck to the heart reduces the ratio of social asymmetry, determines a change in the release or how the "at risk" relate to the world: the air as a star of Albert, who uses his big apartment in the last remnants of faded un'ormai comfort, practicality and the proletarian Angelo, who raised two children and will lovingly front of his ineptitude. Although the company has built an insurmountable barrier between them, the necrosis of the heart has joined them, releasing the roles, opening the possibility to look in a different way and progressing towards a mutual understanding. If Archibugi is certainly adept at describing the nuances of his characters' behavior, the refinement of matter of heart is due in large measurement and interpretation of Antonio Albanian Kim Rossi Stuart. The first shows the vulnerability that lies beneath the surface of caustic, while the second a more discrete and separate, but equally capable of arousing feelings of intense veining. The story of Albert Angelo and invites the viewer to contemplate, in the context of two lives (right) regular, the paradoxes of friendship, the bond of necessity and sincere affection that cardiovascular disease and illness are existential established.

Tribute to Clint Eastwood
seems that Sergio Leone told him: "He has only two expressions, with and without the cigar." Yet it was he who removed from around Clint Eastwood's appearances and the TV series and make it a star. Born in San Francisco, California, May 31, 1930, Clint Eastwood found only in Italy, thanks to the spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone, the popularity that he could not win at home. Thanks to For a Few Dollars More (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), its form becomes a kind of symbol, icon indelible imagery collettivo.Quando back United States continues to grapple with the Western genre, and to collect success stories, like that achieved by Hang 'Em High (1968). Meanwhile, he meets Don Siegel, his other great teacher along with Sergio Leone. From their collaboration born film as The Man in the tie Leather (1968) and Mules for Sister Sara (1969). In 1971, with Dirty Harry: Scorpio is the case with yours, was born the character of Dirty Harry, the policeman toughest ever seen a movie, which revitalizes the detective genre and offers a huge success in Eastwood. In the same year, Clint made his debut behind the camera even with the psychoanalytical thriller Play Misty for Me. Then for many years, the simple alternative interpretations, often with rookie directors like Michael Cimino's a 20 gauge for the specialist, to work as a director and author of his films. Notable in this regard is particularly his Bronco Bill (1980), a beautiful western twilight in which Eastwood also provides one of his best performances. After received a slating by the critics for Honkytonk Man (1982), Clint took refuge for a while 'in the commercial cinema, until redemption in 1988 with Bird, who was welcomed with great enthusiasm and won two awards at Cannes. In 1986, meanwhile, won election as mayor of the town of Caramel, California, and maintains the position until 1992. In the same year his film Unforgiven won four Oscars, including best film and best director, and a definitive confirmation Eastwood, not only as one of the greatest American actors, but also as one of the most important directors in Hollywood. With The Bridges of Madison County (1995) Eastwood film also explores the emotional and intimate and get back a great success. This is followed Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and Absolute Power in 1997, until the contrary in 1999, Space Cowboys in 2000. In the same year, she received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement and the Venice Film Festival dedicates a comprehensive retrospective. With the documentary The Blues: Piano Blues - which is part of a larger series coordinated by Martin Scorsese, made more directors and dedicated to the rediscovery of the roots of the blues - Eastwood back in 2002, after "Bird", a work strongly steeped in music, his passion never hidden that, in recent years has meant that compose the trust Lennie Niehaus also the soundtracks of his films. And there's still Blood (2002, Eastwood also interpreter), Mystic River (2003, six nominations and two Oscars, for Best Actor to Sean Penn, Tim Robbins best supporting role), poignant fresco of a childhood lost and broken. Later, Million Dollar Baby, in 2004 (receiving 7 nominations overall and 4 Oscars), and on Iwo Jima diptych of 2006: Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, which then leads to his tenth nomination Eastwood staff at the Oscars.

Francis Ford Coppola
with Vincent Gallo, Alden Ehrenreich
(U.S. 2009-127 '- drama)
Benjamin, who is about to turn 18 years old, goes looking for his brother Tetro in Buenos Aires , which long broken ties with the family. In the past, when he fled from his father's house, Tetro had left a letter to Benjamin in return for promising to take away with them.
Francis Ford Coppola realizes fully his third feature (in the sense that subject and also wrote the script) after The Rain People and The Conversation . One senses from the first shot in a beautiful black and white in this film there is a desire by the director to look inside himself and his life. That's what makes almost brazenly offering a summary of his conception of cinema. On a personal level this affair, in which the bonds families end up be stronger than any attempt to alienate, not without direct references to the life of the director. Father and uncle as musicians in the film, the family always followed everywhere, and of course, his own father figure / master dominant. But what is even more important is the way in which Coppola declares his love for a film that has its roots in the classic melodrama. We had already shown it The Godfather. Part Three and reminds us now with a story in which the twist is still there and classical music plays a significant role. But there are also children of Rumble Fish in Tetro with their troubled teens. In closing a suggestion that sometimes it becomes necessary: \u200b\u200bdo not try to tell you the hub of the story. Would end the practice of viewing the moth on the wrong side.

My vic ino Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki
(Japan 1988-93 '- animation)
Satsuki and her younger sister Mei move with his father in a house in the countryside where they await the return of her sick mother. Here Mei senses the presence of a huge animal, which gives the name of Totoro.
Built in 1988, My Neighbor Totoro is the film in which Miyazaki's narrative takes a height of a child, especially evident in the register and in the physical vocabulary of the two protagonists, which express the concepts using emphatic gestures , shouting their joy and creating a symphony of sounds that the film vitalistic this course as their own. Although it is already included the idea of \u200b\u200b"threshold to be crossed" (as in the future Away ) to enter the lair of Totoro, the film subjectivized fantastic experience, but makes organic cycle of life and nature , in deference to the animist component that will find its apogee in the masterpiece Princess Mononoke . The fantastic creatures of the film, then, do not live any further away, but normally live around us and the only possible boundary can be drawn is that our domestic capacity to perceive its presence. Like the Dark Neri who tend to flee in the presence of light to inhabit interstices of the houses, so the characters that the film shows tend to preserve their own autonomy, however, may need to be open sharing of intent: the register is made in this case, ironic (the expectation of Totoro with his umbrella to bus stop), fable (the scene of the flight, a must in any Miyazaki film) when not directly covertly adventurous and dramatic (the running of Satsuki aboard Gattobus looking for Mei, or even one to the hospital).
