Behold the history of a film so scandalous, so outrageous, so explosive it disappeared from print for more than a quarter century! A film so dangerous half its cast and crew met their demise bringing it, eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes’ final cinematic vision, to life! Starring all-American legend John Wayne in full Fu Manchu makeup as Mongol madman Genghis Khan and sultry seductress Susan Hayward as his lover, The Conqueror is possibly the worst movie ever made.

Packed with interviews from director John Carpenter, screenwriter Bill Phillips, producer Richard Kobritz, stars Keith Gordon and Alexandra Paul, plus various members of the cast and crew including co-composer Alan Howarth and SFX artist Roy Arbogast, Hell Hath No Fury: The Making of Christine is a definitive look at the 1983 cinematic adaptation of Stephen King’s terrifying novel about the eponymous demonic Plymouth Fury and the obsessive teenage boy who loves her.

Jonathan Taplin’s extraordinary journey has put him at the crest of every major cultural wave in the past half century. His is a lifetime marked not only by good timing but by impeccable instincts - from the folk scene of Woodstock, to Hollywood’s rebellious film movement and beyond, Taplin is not just a witness but a lifelong producer, the right-hand man to some of the greatest talents of both pop culture and the underground. The Magic Years is both a rock memoir and a work of cultural criticism from a key player who watched a nation turn from idealism to nihilism.

È il 9 gennaio 1956 quando Oriana Fallaci, inviata de "L'Europeo", giunge per la prima volta a Hollywood per comprenderne i meccanismi nascosti e raccontare senza filtri il mondo del cinema e i suoi segreti. Negli anni seguenti Oriana torna nuovamente negli Stati Uniti, va a visitare le dimore degli attori, entra negli studios e partecipa a feste esclusive, illuminando ipocrisie, ambizioni e rimpianti delle star in interviste appassionate e franche. Seguendo il filo dei sette peccati capitali, la Fallaci conduce la sua inchiesta con ironia e profonda comprensione umana.

Lontano dalla grande distribuzione cinematografica, c'è un mondo di registi indipendenti che lavorano in silenzio, senza pretendere nulla, ostacolati dalla burocrazia e dalla mancanza di appoggi che non gli consentono di dedicarsi alla loro arte in santa pace. Tra loro c'è Marco Pollini, un regista indipendente veronese, proprietario di una piccola società di distribuzione, Ahora!, uno che i film li vuole fare comunque, nonostante tutto e tutti, persino contro il parere di sua moglie.

Aneddoti, curiosità, segreti e retroscena di una delle commedie più famose, rappresentative e ironicamente dissacranti del cinema italiano. Con la prefazione di Max Tortora. La voce narrante è quella di Giorgio Gobbi, l'immortale "Ricciotto", l'aiutante del "sor marchese" nell'orchestrare scherzi e tiri mancini nella Roma ottocentesca insidiata dall'avanzare delle truppe napoleoniche. Ed è una voce ironica, a volte velata di malinconia, quella che racconta la genesi, i dietro le quinte, le vicissitudini che caratterizzarono il set de "Il marchese del Grillo".

Una serie TV può cambiare la percezione di intere nazioni su tematiche sociali, scientifiche, politiche, relazionali, dando voce a persone che nella nostra società sono ancora invisibili, a cui non viene mai data la parola. Il merito di Marina Pierri è la capacità di mettere insieme mondi che fanno fatica a parlarsi: quello del femminismo intersezionale e quello della psicologia del profondo. In "Eroine", Marina Pierri prende il testimone da una vasta letteratura filosofica, cinematografica e psicologica, e compie un'operazione ancora inedita.

Il cinema è da sempre il mezzo di comunicazione più audace e irriverente, sa sfidare la società e misurarne i limiti. Tra gli anni Trenta e il 1968, l'anno in cui tutto cambia, il cinema, sia in Italia che a Hollywood, non esita ad affrontare temi considerati tabù - l'adulterio, il sesso, l'omosessualità - con uno sguardo disincantato e provocatorio. Dalla censura imposta agli Studios al fascino dirompente di Brigitte Bardot e Sophia Loren, dalla retorica di epoca fascista a Tinto Brass e Pasolini, fino alle polemiche dei giorni nostri riguardo al movimento #MeToo.

Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, a classic film noir and also a damning dissection of the Hollywood dream factory, evokes the glamour and ruin of the stars who subsist on that dream. It’s also one long in-joke about the movie industry and those who made it great - and who were, in turn, destroyed by it. One of the most critically admired films of the 20th century, Sunset Boulevard is also famous as silent-star Gloria Swanson’s comeback picture.
