Suburra o las entrañas de Roma Luigi CARMELITANO Título: Suburra Director: Stefano Sollima Guión: Giancarlo De Cataldo, Carlo Bonini, Stefano Rulli y Sandro Petraglia. Intérpretes: Pierfrancesco Favino, Greta Scarano, Elio Germano, Claudio Amendola, Alessandro Borghi, Jean-Hugues Anglade. Género: drama Año: 2015 Duración: 130 minutos Idioma: italiano Si la película de Paolo Sorrentino La grande bellezza (2013) ofrecía una imagen de la ciudad eterna entre la decadencia y el desencanto, proporcionando al espectador un conocimiento superficial de la verdadera alma romana contemporánea, con Suburra de Stefano Sollima descubrimos las entrañas profundas de Roma. Bajo un aspecto de ciudad durmiente, cansada de sobrevivir en el siglo XXI gracias a las herencias de un pasado glorioso, Roma oculta en realidad unas dinámicas muy activas que se entretejen entre los fuertes poderes que componen la realidad italiana. El mundo político, los aparatos eclesiásticos y, sobre todo, la mafia animan el escenario romano convirtiéndolo en el lugar privilegiado de una lucha donde cada uno de ellos persigue su propio objetivo. En el caso de los dos primeros, se trata de mantener el statu quo, es decir, evitar cualquier cambio que pueda poner en riesgo la conservación de privilegios adquiridos a lo largo del tiempo. Por todo ello, todo acontecimiento capaz de tambalear el precario equilibrio

    kvarter Volume 22. Spring 2021 • on the web akademiskacademic quarter “ROMA(nzo) criminale” Portrayals of Rome in Third-millennium Crime Genre Screenwriting Livio Lepratto received his Ph.D. in History of Visual and Performance Arts from the University of Parma in 2017. From 2016 to 2019 he was a member of a SIR research group, studying Italian film criticism in post-war cultural and popular magazines. From 2017 he has been a Research Assistant at the Department of Humanities, Social and Cultural Enterprises (DUSIC) of the University of Parma. Abstract In recent years, the city of Rome continues to be ‘read’ by Italian cinema as a privileged habitat for the setting of crime narratives. Some emblematic examples are such recent Italian films as Suburra (Id., Stefano Sollima, 2015), Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot (They Call Me Jeeg, Gabriele Mainetti, 2015), Non essere cattivo (Don’t Be Bad, Clau- dio Caligari, 2015) and Dogman (Id., Matteo Garrone, 2018), which offer the opportunity to explore the creative processes behind the adaptation of successful cross over into television crime narratives and trans/cross-mediated crime narratives such as adaptations, since they are stories and creative processes that transcend the bor- ders between countries and media. My contribution seeks to engage with scholarly debates about Italian crime narratives, investigating how the case study of the representation of “criminal Rome” provides its own individual contribution to the distinct imagery of contemporary Italian noir. Keywords: Rome, crime, suburb, non-place, contemporary Italian cinema. Volume 22 96 “ROMA(nzo) criminale” kvarter Livio Lepratto akademiskacademic quarter As highlighted elsewhere in this special issue (Re and Coviello 2021), in recent years Italian crime screenwriting has been gradu- ally shifting farther away from setting its narrative locations in the symbolic and productive centre of the country, i.e.

    CUSTODY a XAVIER LEGRAND picture US PRESS COVERAGE EW REVIEWS Xavier Legrand's Custody is a harrowing, heartbreaking French import: EW review KINO LORBER CHRIS NASHAWATY July 06, 2018 at 03:23 PM EDT Custody TYPE Movie GENRE Drama RELEASE DATE 06/29/18 PERFORMER Denis Ménochet, Léa Drucker DIRECTOR Xavier Legrand MPAA Unrated E GAVE IT AN A- Xavier Legrand’s French import, Custody, isn’t technically a horror movie. But it’s as harrowing and stressful as Hereditary or A Quiet Place. In a way, it’s even more terrifying because its monster is a father who, at first, seems like a tragic figure deprived of the right to see his children only to reveal himself as the unrelenting brute his wife claims he is. We’ve all seen these sorts of domestic bogeymen before in any number of Lifetime movies. But rarely are they presented with the matter-of-fact naturalism that Legrand brings to his Venice Silver Lion winner. It’s not a pleasant film to sit through by any means – you engage with it at your own risk. Still, it is undeniably powerful. And, more than that, exquisitely acted thanks to a set of performances that don’t feel like performances at all. You feel its horror in your bones so deeply that it’s impossible to shake it off when it’s over. The film opens in the drab bureaucratic chambers of a French civil-court judge who’s hearing both sides of a custody dispute between a warring pair of exes. Miriam (Lea Drucker) claims that she should be the sole guardian of her two children – 18-year-old Joséphine (Mathilde Auneveux) and 11-year-old Julien (Thomas Gioria).

  • Sicario Script Pdf
    Sicario script pdf Continue Both Sicario and Sicario: Day Of The Soldado - stories that follow drug trafficking and people respectively across the U.S.-Mexico border - were written by Taylor Sheridan, and star Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin starring. The first production received outstanding critical praise, and Wolski was set to take on the film for the franchise. The first film was really beautifully made by a film of very talented people, says Wolski, who is no stranger to sequels that with the filming of all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies except the latter, and Stranger: Covenant. With this was an opportunity to do it with another director, with a different look and a different temperament. It was a big challenge. Although it is difficult for Wolski to determine what is said in the first meetings with the new director, he bases many of his ideas on how working relationships begin to build during this time. Details were discussed as they were going to honor the first film, but with some specific changes. Making my own statement was my biggest challenge, says Wolski, who started shooting music videos for artists such as Sting, Paula Abdul and a host of other great acts throughout the 1980s and 90s. Roger (Dickins) is just so specific about photography and very thorough in his work, which is always beautifully decorated. However, we decided to go a little more gritty, a little more realistic. The full interview can be found in the July issue of The Cinematographer magazine for the July 2018 issue (88).
