Versione inglese a cura del Master in Traduzione per il Cinema, la Televisione e l’Editoria Multimediale

Article by: Lucia Grosso

Translation by: Valeria Alfieri

Entirely assembled from archive materials, The Reagan Show is a documentary that wants to showcase the president/actor during his “performance” in the White House, with all his contradictions and aspects. Not without irony, the movie makes us reflect on one of the most influential people during the Cold War, on his glory days and on the sudden halts experienced during his presidency.

Riccardo va all’inferno (literally, “Richard goes to hell”) by Roberta Torre is a modern retelling of Richard III by William Shakespeare.

“LET THE SUMMER NEVER COME AGAIN” by ALEXANDRE KOBERDIZE

Versione inglese a cura del Master in Traduzione per il Cinema, la Televisione e l’Editoria Multimediale

Article by: Maria Cagnazzo

Translation by: Melissa Borgnino

A wind instrument played with uncertainty takes us into a blurred and just as uncertain world.

Let the Summer Never Come Again is entirely filmed with an old mobile phone, and the low quality of the images hits us with astounding force from the very beginning. The director is intentionally vague, forcing us to stay in the dark without clearly showing what is really going on. But we do not need to see well in order to understand the distress that pours out from every single sequence. This is the style of the author, which pervades the entire movie.

Article by: Vanessa Mangiavacca

Translation by: Federica Franzosi

The theatre fills up with ears of wheat, but they are not those of the wheat fields in Cotignola (a town in Romagna, on the banks of the Senio river) that are seen on screen during the screening of the film, but they are being distributed to cinema-goers while they are waiting to get in. “It’s a documentary, but it’s not a documentary”. Ten minutes are enough for us to understand: the rural atmosphere will very soon change into a surreal and dreamlike vibe.

Article by: Dora Bugatti

Translation by: Valeria Alfieri

A series of young beautiful women who are being filmed – spied on – during their everyday life in the crowded streets of New York. This is the opening scene, during which the camera, that represents our gaze, suggests than any one of them could be the main character of the story. Any one of them could be subjected to what the future holds, instead, for Luciana, a Spanish immigrant living in the city where dreams come true. Or at least they should, according to the “American Dream”.

The 35th edition of TFF has finally opened its doors to visitors with the showing of the film that was chosen as the unfortunate inaugural movie. It is unfortunate because, as it is always the case, this film had the responsibility of leading the way for the other ones the festival has in store, as usual drawing from a very disparate pool of genres.
