Article by: Alessia Durante

Translation by: Federica Betti, Ilaria Loiacono

“Imagination is able to transform an idea coming from a theoretical lesson into an upsetting emotional experience. For that reason, we’ve decided to tell We Are The Tide as a modern sci-fi feature film”. Those are Sebastian Higle’s words, the director of Wir sind die Flut, running for the 34° edition of the Torino Film Festival.

Article by: Silvia Villani

Translation by: Andreea Catana, Francesca Sala

Antiparos Island, at the height of tourist season, is a small oasis made just for youth. The beaches are crowded of young people who live in the moment and enjoy the summer spree. Toned, tanned and naked bodies. Just like Anna’s. The amount of work in town has increased for retailers and for Kostis, the general practitioner, as well. He’s in his fortys, he’s pale and a little overweight. Anna accidentally fell from her moped and as she floods the clinic with her intense sensuality, Kostis falls for her and can’t get her out of his head.

“Slam – Tutto per una ragazza” by Andrea Molaioli

Article by: Sofia Nadalini

Translation by: Riccardo Abba, Barbara Lisè

The term slam can have different meanings: it can refer to the abrupt onomatopoeic sound of a door being shut, or of a slap on the face; but it is also a specific slang term used by skaters. For this reason, it is also very similar to the protagonist’s nickname in the latest film by Andrea Molaioli (La ragazza del lago, Il gioiellino), a very accurate cinematographic adaptation of Nick Hornby’s novel Slam.

Translation by: Silvia Cometti, Miriam Todesco

Demon Seed is a 1977 movie directed by Donald Cammell, based on a sci-fi novel by Dean R. Koontz.

Alex Harris (Fritz Weaver) is a scientist who creates a super-computer, Proteus, with its own intelligence, and its task is to find a way to extract metals from the bottom of the sea. But Proteus hasn’t the slightest interest in doing that, so it makes clear to his creator that its interest is a research on the humankind. The scientist, worried, declines this proposal, denying the existence of a free server.

“Marie et les naufragés” by Sébastien Betbeder

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

Article by: Giorgia Bertino

Translation by: Elisa Grattarola, Elena Salama

A funny comedy with a bittersweet aftertaste that tells the story of a Wes Anderson-like love triangle, with extravagant implications, but also with the typical French light-comedy. This is the exquisite recipe proposed by Sébastien Betbeder in Marie et les naufragés: a film deliciously unconventional, starting from the comedy to become something more complex. There is a lot of laughing, that is for sure, but the comedy of each situation leads always to a deeper consideration about life and human relationships.

Article by: Camilla Lasiu

Translation by: Silvia Restelli, Chiara Tomasetta

1998 is the year of a couple of apocalyptic films: Armageddon and Deep Impact. In the same year, however, Last Night, Don McKellar’s first full-length film was presented at Cannes and has been introduced in this year’s edition of the Torino Film Festival in the Things to come section.

The countdown to the end of the world has just started and everybody is striving to realise their last wishes or to organise a Christmas dinner with their loved ones. Patrick Wheeler (played by McKellar himself) just wants to be left alone, waiting for the world to end. All is ready and time is running out fast when on Patrick’s last day Sandra arrives (played by Sandra Oh). Love has never been so close and it will not leave him until the end. Sandra and Patrick are wandering in the desperate look for a car, ignoring the truth: instead of being almost over, as they seem to believe, their time has actually just started. None of them has ever been so close to somebody else’s soul. They both feel the need to be together, with their guns loaded but looking straight into each other’s eyes.

Article by: Andrea Bagnasco

Translation by: Silvia Cometti, Miriam Todesco

When watching an eight-hour movie, the story starts vanishing in one’s mind, what one remembers of the past gets blurred, preventing him from linking all the points, what one may think about the future becomes little by little unsure and one finds himself lost, tightly attached to the present and to this monumental film by Lav Diaz.

Article by: Matteo Ambrosino

Translation by: Riccardo Abba, Barbara Lisè

 

Ilegitim is a film directed by the Romanian filmmaker Adrian Sitaru, it was presented at Berlin Film Festival and won the Golden Duke at Odessa Film Festival. The film portrays with great sensitivity the subject of incest between twin brother and sister.

The movie, a collective and domestic drama, revolves around Victor, a widowed doctor with a lumbering past as an antiabortionist whistle-blower during the dictatorship. A severe guilt that breaks the family apart when, during a dinner, the truth emerges: Victor allegedly impeded many abortions in order to uphold both the law and personal ethical beliefs.

Article by: Sofia Nadalini

Translation by: Silvia Restelli, Chiara Tomasetta

In my experience as spectator, in general, French films are either really serious or not serious at all (in both cases in a positive way, according to my point of view). La loi de la jungle belongs to the second category, not only because it is a really funny screwball comedy (and more), but also because it becomes really parodistic and satiric to a world, the one of the political and economic European laws, that is extremely bureaucratic, absurd and crazy, without any touch with reality.

“I wanted to be a musician but since I wasn’t fast enough as a guitarist, I dedicated myself to the cinema”. Clever as always, Gabriele Salvatores introduces himself with these words at the event held on Monday 21st of November, entitled A talk about cinema and music.

The meeting unravels as a chat between friends who love cinema, and this set up is widely appreciated by the audience in the room.

Article by: Silvia Villani

Translation by: Andreea Catana, Francesca Sala

“I am the monolith. I’m a block of black, cold rock, standing in the middle of the desert. We are a forest of eucalyptus. Those who look at us from afar can see us one next to the other, but when the observer comes closer, he will realize that we’re far more apart than he thought”. That’s how the stream of consciousness of Tião’s bovine ends, at the end of a surreal journey full of unsolved questions, to which, maybe, there’s no answer.

Pyromanian is a movie by the Norwegian director Erik Skjoldbjærg, who was already well-known for Insomnia (1997), which Christopher Nolan signed to remake.

The film is set in 1981 in Finsland, Norway. Son of a fireman, Dag is a reserved young man, who, after the military service, goes back home to his family. From the very beginning, he clearly appears to be a weird character, as he is morbidly attracted by the fire. As a matter of fact, the viewer knows for the whole time that it is him who sets the neighbors’ houses on fire Continua la lettura di Pyromanian by Erik Skjoldbjærg →

Translation by: Riccardo Abba, Barbara Lisè

There are only two male dancers that have really set a turning point in the history of classical ballet. They have been great innovators, men that have been able to set the foundation for a new era. The first one is Rudolf Nureyev. The other, Roberto Bolle. It is very rare for a dancer to be compared to Nureyev, who is almost unanimously considered one of the greatest of the 20th century. But Bolle and Nureyev share a common characteristic besides, needless to say, a superhuman talent: they tore down the boundaries of classical ballet, reaching a larger audience and rewriting the rules forever.

Thanks to what they have learnt in yoga class, two young girls fight against a würstel-looking Nazi army with a bad copy of Jason from “Friday the 13th”. After having turned the terrible creature into cheddar paste, the only thing the girls worry about is not having their smartphones with them to immortalize the event. This is Yoga Hosers by Kevin Smith. It is the standard-bearer of the new Z-movies: a fair budget, a carefully chosen cast with some relevant names from the American movie industry and a specific attention to the filmed material both before and after the shooting.
