  • Patrice Chéreau. Cineasta Del Corpo Retrospettiva
    Patrice Chéreau. Cineasta del corpo Retrospettiva 16 - 21 febbraio 2010 Cinema Gnomo Milano Iniziativa promossa dal Comune di Milano A cura di Pier Giorgio Carizzoni Organizzata dall’ Associazione Culturale Dioniso Con il patrocinio del Centre Culturel Français de Milan Media partner: Rai Radio Tre Martedì 16 febbraio 2010 si inaugura al Cinema Gnomo di Milano la prima retrospettiva italiana di Patrice Chéreau, celebre regista francese di teatro e di cinema, al quale il Comune di Milano rende omaggio fino a domenica 21 febbraio con la proiezione dei 10 lungometraggi da lui diretti dal 1975 a oggi. L’iniziativa, curata da Pier Giorgio Carizzoni e organizzata dall’Associazione Culturale Dioniso con il patrocinio del Centre Culturel Français de Milan e la collaborazione di Rai RadioTre, si svolge in concomitanza con la presenza a Milano di Chéreau per la regia lirica dell’opera “Da una casa di morti” di Leoš Janá ček, al Teatro alla Scala dal 28 febbraio.

Dalla sua filmografia emerge il profilo di un autore che sa esplorare con notevole vigore espressivo i volti e i corpi dei suoi personaggi, indagando in profondità nei risvolti più intimi e nascosti dell’animo umano, senza compiacimenti né rassicurazioni. Circa la metà dei film in programma, irreperibili in Italia, sono presentati in versione originale con sottotitoli in italiano. La rassegna si inaugura martedi 16 con la proiezione di Persécution (ore 18:30, replica domenica 21 ore 21:15, versione originale con sottotitoli in italiano), ultimo film diretto dal regista, presentato al Festival del cinema di Venezia 2009 e alla “Panoramica” milanese in anteprima assoluta, che racconta l’infelicità di un uomo perseguitato e persecutore, amante geloso e infedele fagocitato dal suo stesso narcisismo.
