Giovanni Pastrone, ovvero la nascita del cinema in Italia. Una figura eclettica, innovativa, visionaria che, grazie ad un superlativo utilizzo del mezzo cinematografico, riuscì ad imporre la settima arte anche fuori dai confini nazionali. E a regalare al pubblico uno dei capolavori della nascente industria: Cabiria.
L'affascinante e fiammeggiante vita dell’attrice che inventò il divismo, imponendo il suo fascino da femme fatale in un Paese ancora al guado fra modernità e retaggi del passato. Una figura mitica, idolatrata dalle folle, capace di dettare mode e tendenze, e di ammantare la sua vita di autentico mistero.
Luis Buñuel: A Life in Letters provides access for the first time to an annotated English-language version of around 750 of the most important and most widely relevant of these letters. Buñuel (1900-1983) came to international attention with his first films, Un Chien Andalou (with Dalí, 1929) and L'Âge d'Or (1930): two surprisingly avant-garde productions that established his position as the undisputed master of Surrealist filmmaking. He went on to make 30 full-length features in France, the US and Mexico, and consolidated his international reputation with a Palme d'Or for Viridiana in 1961, and an Academy Award in 1973 for The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. He corresponded with some of the most famous writers, directors, actors and artists of his generation and the list of these correspondents reads like a roll call of major twentieth-century cultural icons: Fellini, Truffaut, Vigo, Aragon, Dalí, Unik - and yet none of this material has been accessible outside specialist archives and a very small number of publications in Spanish and French.
Un grande innovatore del cinema italiano, capace di gestire con talento e creatività il passaggio dal muto al sonoro e di cimentarsi con quasi tutti i generi, aggirando le rigide maglie della censura fascista.
