With or without you

Alice and Tommaso have been together for fifteen years; they don’t have children, he‘s a musician, she’s an actress. Invited to dinner for an announcement, their friends think it’s going to be a marriage announcement, but instead discover that decided to break up: but without drama or emotional rifts, staying friends with each other. A legitimate but naive ambition. Love stories end, because people change. And no change is, nor can it be, painless.

Blackout Love

Valeria has her life completely figured out. She goes through men one after the other, without ever looking back. She coaches a female volleyball team, and her coaching go well beyond the rules of the game, teaching her girls how to be independent and to avoid pain when dealing with love. The only man she’s ever lowered her guard for is her ex-boyfriend Marco who split up with her about one year before, breaking her heart. When after a very unusual accident, he suddenly comes back into her life, Valeria decides the time has come to exact her revenge on him. But it won’t be as easy as she thinks…

Carosone

Renato Carosone is one of the most renowned and unique Italian musicians ever. But, although everyone around the world is able to immediately recognize his songs, his story has not been told yet. From 1930s Naples to the Italian colonies in Africa, the Dolce Vita of 1950s Rome, Carosone and his many bands find a perfect, compelling mix of swing, Neapolitan song writing and North-African rhythm, peppered by a caustic, still modern sense of humour. The film portrays Carosone from his humble beginnings as a theatre player, to the worldwide, chart-topping success – thanks to smash hits such as Tu vuo’ fa’ l’americano, Torero, O’ Sarracino among many others – and the astonishing farewell to the stage on live TV. All the major steps in the life of a towering figure in music, who loved his music and his audience more than his own success.

My body will bury you

One of the many reasons for immersing myself in this story was the tenacity demonstrated by the brigands showed in the face of the occupation of Sabaudia as well as my amazement as I came to know more about the women. These women were raw and wild, just like the land of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies of the end of the 19th century which in many ways brings to mind the American frontier of the Westerns. This film is a mixture between Western and pulp.

The bad poet

1936. Giovanni Comini has just been promoted to Federal, the youngest in Italy. That is all according to what his mentor Achille Starace, secretary of the Fascist Party and second-in-command of the regime, wanted. Comini immediately gets summoned to Rome for a delicate mission: in surveillance of Gabriele D’Annunzio and making sure he does not do any harm… that is because the Prophet, a nationally respected poet, has in recent times appeared upset and Mussolini fears he could damage the alliance with Nazi Germany.

However at the Vittoriale, where D’Annunzio resides, Comini is but a small cog in the political wheel that begins to unravel and the young federal, finds himself divided between his loyalty to the Party and his fascination with the poet, which will put his blooming career at great risk.

Nato Raro

Rome and its inhabitants wake up. Ale trains, running along the Tiber. Jane is about to visit a museum. Carla, a florist, is about to open her shop. A driver is making a delivery. Irene and Giulio search desperately for the keys of their apartment, as Giacomo, their child, plays with his tablet, ready to go out.

In the simple daily routine, the voice of a child will make us think, reminding us that every day is a conquest for everybody and even more so for some. To really and truly keep others in one’s mind is the way.
