    Hammamet, the Last Craxi

    Monica Straniero(January 13, 2020)
    Gianni Amelio’s latest film tells the story of Bettino Craxi in the final months of his life. It’s not a partisan film, there are no absolutions, no condemnations, it’s the human drama of a king who has lost his scepter and now has to face himself. Pierfrancesco Favino transcends all limits in terms of presence, acting abilities and in replicating the voice and movements of the former Prime Minister.

    Hammamet, l'ultimo Craxi

    Monica Straniero(January 10, 2020)
    Il nuovo film di Gianni Amelio racconta Bettino Craxi negli ultimi mesi di vita. Non è un film di parte, niente assoluzioni, niente condanne, ma un racconto di un dramma umano di un re che ha perso il suo scettro e si ritrova solo con se stesso. Un Pierfrancesco Favino oltre ogni limite di resa scenica ed attoriale per mimica e cadenza della voce, nel ruolo dell’allora Presidente del Consiglio.

    Ancora un'opera su Napoli

    Emanuela Medoro(May 01, 2017)
    "La Tenerezza", l’ultimo film di Gianni Amelio, liberamente tratto dal romanzo “La tentazione di essere felice” di Lorenzo Marone, ha nel titolo una parola usata anche da Papa Francesco. Mi sembra opportuno ricordare che secondo Lui la tenerezza non è debolezza, ma è fortezza, se unita a solidarietà e umiltà, perché il potere fa male a chi lo esercita e a chi lo subisce se non lo si mette insieme a umiltà e tenerezza. Concetti utilissimi per spiegare i sentimenti più o meno espressi che muovono i protagonisti di questo film.

    Italian Cinema. If It’s June, It Must Be Open Roads

    George De Stefano(May 27, 2013)
    Antonio Monda, festival co-curator, talks about this year’s festival of new Italian films. He is gratified by the track record of Open Roads. “I am happy because in 13 years we have shown 12 to 15 films every year, so 180 films more or less, and at least 20 released theatrically [in the U.S.]. We pack our theaters every evening and do a very good business in the afternoon, too.” We also talked about Paolo Sorrentino's latest film. His success would “help Italian cinema very much,” says Monda. “La Grande Bellezza” did not win any major awards at Cannes, but critics and audiences praised the film, and its star Toni Servillo, virtually ensuring a run on the festival circuit and a theatrical release"
