George (Alessandro Nivola) seems easy enough to read. At a Chicago art gallery opening, surrounded by people dressed in sleek black, he spots the owner, Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz). He meets her in front of a simple-seeming painting of deer in snow, exchange shy smiles. “It makes me happy,” he says of the artwork. And with that, the film’s credits begin, as George and Madeline kiss, playfully and earnestly. She laughs. He makes her happy.Read More »

Andrei, a 13-year-old teenager living at the outskirts of Bucharest, decides one day to steal a bus in order to impress Marilena, a prostitute he fell in love with. Things you do for love… “Marilena from P7 plunges into the universe of teenage emotions that we all remember. It is a study on the – sometimes small, sometimes big – reasons that make us turn from children into teenagers. The story takes place in the “exotic” outskirts of Bucharest, and the background is peopled with many authentically racy characters. Besides telling the story, the film also makes a cross-section of the life in the suburbs of Bucharest at the beginning of the 21st century, with no intervention whatsoever on most of the locations and extras. The hand held camera shooting style offers the opportunity to capture details and genuine background elements that enforce the “documentary” atmosphere of the movie”.Read More »

1963: The Mondo Libero newsreel by Gastone Ferranti and other material found in Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and England became, for Pier Paolo Pasolini, the basis for a lyrical and polemical analysis of the social phenomena and conflicts affecting the modern world, from the Cold War to the Economic Boom, with commentary consisting of a “poetical voice” (Giorgio Bassani) and a “prosaic voice” (Renato Guttuso).
While Pasolini was working on editing “La Rabbia”, the producer, with either political and/or commercial motives, decided to turn the movie into a four-handed work, and entrusted Giovannino Guareschi with a part of it, following the well known journalist-like scheme “seen by right, seen by left.”
Pasolini reacted with irritation to this forced co-habitation, but in the end he acquiesced, giving up the first part of his movie to make room for Guareschi’s segment.Read More »

‘Me and You and Everyone We Know’ is a poetic and penetrating observation of how people struggle to connect with one another in an isolating and contemporary world. Christine Jesperson is a lonely artist and “Eldercab” driver who uses her fantastical artistic visions to draw her aspirations and objects of desire closer to her. Richard Swersey, a newly single shoe salesman and father of two boys, is prepared for amazing things to happen. But when he meets the captivating Christine, he panics. Life is not so oblique for Richard’s six-year-old Robby, who is having a risqué Internet romance with a stranger, and his fourteen-year-old brother Peter who becomes the guinea pig for neighborhood girls — practicing for their future of romance and marriage.Read More »
