#VE76 COMPETITION

Of the infinite (ABOUT ENDLESSNESS) The ROY Andersson Jane con-Ege Ferling, Martin Serner, Bengt Bergius, Tatiana Delaunay, Anders J:-tellstréim, Thore piano / Svezia, Germany, Norway / 73′

Andersson once again the inimitable style. The scenes are paintings that follow slow but sharp, forcing the viewer reflections on life.

Director's Statement: The cornucopia is the mythical horn of a goat, and it is full of symbols of wealth and abundance. It is usually shown overflowing with products and all kinds of fruit: generous abundance that, according to myth, It never decreases, because real infinite dell'inesauribilità representation. It was the greek myth to inspire me to combine all these scenes, all these issues in the same film. I want to emphasize the beauty of being alive and human, but it wants to prove a contrast, It must also reveal the worst side. This film is on the infinity of existence signs.

EMA di Pablo Larrain Mariana Di Girolamo, Garcia Bemal available / Chile / 102′

Obscene in all senses Ema is a initerrotta sequence of lesbo and hetero relationships by the protagonist always stops at the same expression. A tale of a failed adoption and a thousand tricks to rebuild a family that was actually non-existent with only five minutes to understand but at the same time compressed simplistically.

Director's Statement: A meditation on the human body, about dance and about motherhood.

EDEN MARTIN PIETRO MARCELLO Luca Marinelli, Jessica Cressy, Denise Sardisco, Vincenzo Nemolato, Marco Leonardi, Autilia Ranieri / Italy, France / 125′

It 'a film that needs to be judged decant. Pietro Marcello puts us anything and everything so much from music to ideologies. The temperature of a tale of London in an uncertain era Napoli is not an easy task and protagonisa Luca Marinelli not the greatest.

Director's Statement: Martin Eden tells our story, the story of who was trained not in the family or at school, but by the rules along the way culture. It is the novel self-taught, of those who believed in culture as an instrument of emancipation and it was, partly, disappointed. A book of great political relevance, which reveals the Jack London's ability to see the gloomy shades of the future, perversions and the torments of the twentieth century. We imagined our Martin cross the twentieth century, or rather a 'portmanteau', a dreamy transposition of the century, free from temporal coordinates, set not in the novel California but in a Naples that could be any port city (not only) of Italy.

THE MAYOR OF THE DISTRICT HEALTH MARIO MARTONE Francesco Di Leva, , Massimiliano Gallo, Roberto De Francesco, Adriano Pantaleo, Daniel passage, Giuseppe Gaudino / Italy / 115′

Successful film adaptation of a novel by Martone, a play by Eduardo. Interpreters and not just the main protagonists, are the result of choices happy and guess.

Director's Statement: The Mayor of Eduardo De Filippo, Antonio Barracano, He is a seventy-five year old man, my it has half. Such a definite shift of age of the protagonist in this film allows to put the great Eduardo text to the test of contemporaneity (Today bosses are very young) or to look like new. Do not expect the illusions of the old Barracano born in the nineteenth century, which still allowed to draw moral boundaries: Here emerges a humanity fierce, ambiguous and sore, in which good and evil are compared in each character and the two cities that always speaks in Naples (the law-abiding and criminal) They collide in an amazing game.

Joaquin Phoenix

JOKER di TODD PHILLIPS con Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro / USA / 118′

Precious Darkfilm for Batman enthusiasts who find a well-built with a prequel starring Arthur Fleck magistarlmente in his crazy laugh from a wonderful Joaquin Phoenix.

He deserves the award for best actor, and if the beats with Adam Driver (ed).

Director's Statement: He has always been drawn to the complexity of the Joker, and I thought it would be interesting to explore its origins as no one had done it yet. Part of the mystery was right in not having an origin defined, Silver then Scott and I sat down to write a version of how it could be before everyone knew. We have preserved certain canonical elements and we set the story in a dilapidated Gotham City at the turn of the seventies and eighties, era in which some great personality studies of cinema that I love. We wrote it thinking about Joaquin Phoenix because when states are able to transform and always goes all the way. We hope we have created a character for which excited, why take sides, to the point where you can no longer.

THE LAUNDROMAT di STEVEN SODERBERGH con Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, Jeffrey Wright, Schoenaerts, James Cromwell, Sharon Stone / USA / 95′

The film brought in Laguna Star the most anticipated and the director has created a work that combines seriousness and gravity of the facts (Panama duck scandal) with stories of individuals affected in the affections. Almost cheerful inopitatamente Oldman and Banderas as a guide for sore and stubborn Meryl Streep fighting international intrigue. In short, the usual American film of denunciation (ed)

#VENEZIA76 OUT OF COMPETITION FICTION

FRANCESCA ARCHIBUGI LIVING Micaela Ramazzotti, Adriano Giannini, Massimo Ghini, Marcello source, Roisin O’Donovan, Andrea Calligari / Italy / 103’

A disappointing that with Archibugi Living, story of a family in very credible snoodi of the story and style of interpretation of the monotonously repetitive Ramazzotti. It saves only the small interpreter but nothing remains of the preciousness of it Mignon gently started.

Commentary by director: My ambition is to cancel the camera: the story must seem as told by herself. Pressed by a greater quality television, it seems that cinema, to have the legitimacy to exist, should magnify the screen size with extra-ordinary images. More and more rarely seen film of great simplicity, which release the complexity of existence without seeming to. With a little 'stubbornness defend this idea of ​​cinema. No robbery, anyone kills, no flies, no one dies of overdose. Yet life does not hurt.
