The fashion of the film-event that takes place in the first days of the week and aims at targeted audiences without entering into competition with the blockbusters of the weekend is now rampant: this week 5 have come out (and are preparing to disappear from the big screen), including we highlight the highly promoted documentaries FRIDA KAHLO and CLIMBING IRAN, the strange docu-thriller JAZZ NOIR, an investigation into the mysterious death of the great musician Chet Baker. But above all the film of a lifetime WATER, TEACHES THIRST – CLASS HISTORY in which Valerio Jalongo stalks the memory of a group of students from Professor Lopez’s class. Once they have rediscovered their old themes and an album of memories and notes, he sets off in search of his former students and reconstructs with them, in front of the camera, their hopes, failures, rebirths and projects. A film as unusual as it is exemplary and not to be missed.
– IT WAS THE HAND OF GOD by Paolo Sorrentino with Filippo Scotti, Toni Servillo, Teresa Saponangelo, Luisa Ranieri, Renato Carpentieri, Massimiliano Gallo, Betti Pedrazzi, Ciro Capano, Enzo Decaro, Carmen Pommella, Biagio Manna, Lino Musella, Marlon Joubert , Alfonso Perugini, Sofya Gershevich, Paolo Spezzaferri, Rossella Di Lucca, Antonio Speranza. Fresh from the success (with prize) at the Film Festival and on the launching pad towards the Oscar, the leanest and most personal film by the director of “La grande Bellezza” arrives in the cinema. Since it is a Netflix production it will remain there for a limited period (then it will be on the platform) and there is already great excitement among the exhibitors who would like to have it on the bill. Meanwhile, we know that the narrative inspiration comes from a painful page in the director’s life (the death of his parents), but in truth the story unfolds with a bittersweet breath and many even hilarious moments to portray the Naples of the 80s, bewitched by the myth by Diego Maradona, full of excitement and desire for cinema that will infect the young protagonist forever. To remain in the Fellini area that has always inspired Sorrentino, we could say that this film is his very personal “Amarcord” and is destined to be enjoyed without reserve.
– ENCANTO by Jared Bush, Charise Castro Smith, Byron Howard. The new chapter of the Disney saga for the Christmas holidays is once again touched by the magic of the fairy tale. We are from the parts of the Colombian mountain range, in the imaginary city of Encanto where all the inhabitants have magical powers. All but one, the young Mirabela of the Madrigal family. It is precisely the girl’s normality that makes her feel different and useless, until the day when the magic touch of Encanto does not risk disappearing forever. It is precisely then that Mirabela, the girl without gifts, will feel she can do something for her community.
He will travel to avert the danger and look for the magic key… – UNDER THE STARS OF PARIS by Claus Drexel with Catherine Frot, Mahamadou Yaffa, Dominique Frot, Jean-Henri Compere, Richna Louvet, Raphael Thiery, Farida Rahouadj. Here is one of those films that are good for the heart and that would be promoted with more means to reach a wider audience. Those who enter the room will be enchanted by the story of Christine, a woman with no fixed abode, an inhabitant of the banks of the Seine, surrounded only by her memories and inhabited by a profound skepticism towards the world. Yet when one night the little Suli, a migrant who has lost his mother and cannot communicate in the local language, appears in front of her, Christine will feel compelled to help those who are even poorer than her. The journey of the two into the Parisian night will give both of them a reason to live.
– A MONSTER FAMILY by Volfango De Biasi with Cristiano Caccamo, Emanuela Rei, Massimo Ghini, Lillo, Lucia Ocone, Ilaria Spada, Sara Ciocca, Paolo Calabresi, Barbara Bouchet, Pippo Franco. Take the model of “Twilight”, turn it into a comedy in the style of “The Addams Family”, add a Mediterranean vein of Italian comedy and you will have this hilarious story that revolves around the contrasted love of Luna and Adalbert. Unfortunately, his family is made up only of witches, vampires, zombies and ghosts. And even in her house not everyone is presentable. What will happen when the two young people have to explain that they are expecting a child? – RESIDENT EVIL: WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY by Johannes Roberts with Kaya Scodelario, Robbie Amell, Hannah John-Kamen, Avan Jogia, Tom Hopper, Neal McDonough, Donal Logue, Josh Cruddas, Lily Gao, Janet Porter. The famous horror franchise from the popular video game goes back to its origins to revitalize the formula: thus a group of survivors of the disaster of the pharmaceutical multinational that was based here and some unsuspecting tourists who happened to be in the Midwest have to face the Evil that for years had remained silent. underground. The protagonists of the story make their entrance into the ghostly Spencer Mansion one night and do not know what mortal destiny they are facing. Thrills for teenagers guaranteed.
– THE SILENT PARTY by Diego Fried with Jazmín Stuart, Esteban Bigliardi, Gerardo Romano, Lautaro Bettoni, Gastón Cocchiarale, Hudson Gomes de Oliveira Santana. For the day against violence against women comes this revenge thriller (now a well-known genre between “The bride in black” and “Kill Bill”) which has as its protagonist the melancholy Laura, now close to her wedding. Arriving at her father’s country house, she gets lost in a solitary walk in the woods but ends up in a truly unusual party in which music and joy seem to prevail. Until she discovers the horrible secret that will involve her father and also the man she is supposed to marry the next day.
With the cadence of the thriller and the feminist activism of its protagonist, this Argentine film does not go unnoticed for its unambiguous message against machismo. (HANDLE).
