Although exceed half an hour the fateful 120 min and deal with this matter difficult of suffering, the viewer leaves the room with a renewed perspective precisely the suffering of the young protagonist. Life lived in a sanatorium incurable playing a microcosm of human characters and despite all the power of love is driving. On the one hand the desperation of hospitalized, on the other the complicity of the attendants and nurses that alleviate the suffering of the first with their humanity. The directorial effort is able to bring to the screen an autobiographical work by Max Blecher worn by the disease only 29 years, of which the last ten past suffering. Help him by the same young author with his reflections on trivial values ​​of earthly life. I believe that for this also deserves the Ecumenical Jury Prize. L’altro film degno

di premio è Ostania Rodina del polacco Jan P. Matuszynski. Well this is a biopic about the famous surrealist painter Zdzislaw Polish Beksinski, who lived in the period of the communist regime, and his family. With manic coldness Beksinski captures with the camera the salient and crucial moments in their family to survive after the end of the regime. The finish is not obvious and reveals some regret the director toward the communist society and the values ​​of a family supported by the female gender represented by his wife Zonja. Hilarious relationship with the extravagant son and the various tributes to world cinema era. Il terzetto di film è completato dall’ironico Slava (Glory) del duo registico

bulgaro composto da Kristina Grozeva e Petar Valchanov their second try directing. The corrupt and self-serving bureaucracy against the last of the last citizens. The story has an unexpected ending and well thought out. The remarkable interpretation of Stefan Denolyubov in Tsanko Petrov cloths that deserves the award. Abbiamo visto anche il film francese La Prunelle

de mes yeux di Axelle Ropert con la bravissima giovane attrice Melanié Bernier nel ruolo della radical chic cieca. The French comedy of errors juggles precisely in amorous relationships between a blind French and a penniless artist greek to underline the universality of feelings that attract two people to love each other, has detestarsi, in short, to interact. There has however disappointed the Argentine Matías Piñeiro with Hermia & HELENA. Director, although not debut, He has built a fluctuating film about a globalized youth who moves from one part of the world and fails to take root. Unfortunately, even the young actors have not contributed to the success of the work.

Nella splendida cornice della Piazza Grande dopo che la coccolatissima

Stefania Sandrelli ha ricevuto il Premio alla carriera, è stato proiettato in anteprima mondiale il seguito di Jason Bourne in una versione adrenalinica. Matt Demon holds the head at all, and for two hours miraculously escapes the pitfalls thesis by the CIA.

Sempre in Piazza Grande è passato l’esordio di Emmanuel Courcol con CESSEZ-LE-FEU. A mannered and well packaged film that reminds us from the point of view of three brothers enlisted in the French army the horror and the catastrophe of the First World War.

But in the picturesque setting of Piazza Grande still have to be screened two films presented at Cannes. The first I, Daniel Blake di Ken Loach Palma d’Oro. Il secondo presentato went Fortnight: Poesia di Alejandro Jodorowsky endless who will receive the Leopard of Honour Swissscom the next Friday evening.

Delle altre sezioni abbiamo assistito al lento MAÑANA A ESTA HORA della regista colombiana Lina Rodríguez (Filmmakers of the Present), ad ASCENT (selezione Sign of Life) Danish Fiona Tan who packed into 80 'thousands of wonderful photographs of Mount Fujj. Come sottolineato dalla stessa regista il film non si sarebbe

potuto fare senza il contributo delle musiche di Leo Anemaet.

Out of competition we liked the long chat with the writer, drammaturgo e attivista politico austriaco degli anni ’60 Peter Handke e la regista Corinna Belz autrice appunto del doc Peter Handke – In the Woods, Might Be Late.

Bello anche nella selezione Panorama Suisse il surrealistico film Aloys di Tobias Nölle , winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at the Berlinale in the Panorama selection, which shows the freshness of Swiss cinema.

Infine un accenno alla sezione autonoma della 27ma Semaine de la Critique con due documentari. The first an autobiographical doc Bezness as Usual del regista olandese Alex Pitstra all

prese con il proprio meticciato culturale tra un padre tunisino e la madre olandese. Subject present in the West confrontation East. The second one Cahier africain the courageous Swiss director Heidi Specogna che svela gli orrori subiti da ragazze e uomini del Centrafrica per mano dei mercenari congolesi

durante il conflitto armato del 2008. Unfortunately, history is repeated during the filming of the documentary.

Abbiamo avuto pure il piacere di assistere alla conversazione tra l’amatissima attrice Stefania Sandrelli con Steve Della Casa, warmly welcomed into space by the Forum Artistic Director Carlo Chatrian Festival. The actress spoke of himself and of the relationship with many directors from which was directed from germs and Bellocchio, but also of the many actors with whom he starred and especially with Marcello Mastroianni.

Currently the actress, with his daughter Amanda, sta proseguendo una tournée

teatrale con la commedia spagnola “Il bagno“. The direction of the show, stripping the friendship of five women in the moment and in the most unexpected place, He is the young Gabriel Olivares. To those who were willing he can listen to the live actress' voice at the following link: Raccontar di Cinema su Facebook
