Fellini, Federico

La dolce vita - DVD / regia: Federico Fellini ; principali interpreti: Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimée, Yvonne Fourneaux, Alain Cuny, Annibale Ninchi, Adriano Celentano

[S.l.] : Medusa Home Entertainment, 2003

Abstract: Personaggio centrale è il giornalista Marcello Rubini, testimone e complice di un mondo caotico e volgare, cinico, privo di valori e soprattutto minato da un’insopportabile noia di vivere. Il film si apre con l’immagine di un Cristo di gesso trasportato in elicottero nel cielo di Roma e si chiude a Fregene, davanti al mare, dove i pescatori hanno portato a riva un pesce mostruoso e dove una ragazza, giovane e dagli occhi innocenti (simbolo di quella grazia che gli uomini persi nei loro piccoli e grandi fallimenti non sanno più vedere), tenta invano di parlare con il protagonista, che non la riconosce e non riesce a sentire le sue parole. In mezzo, tanti episodi a volte tragici e a volte grotteschi: i paparazzi di Via Veneto e le cittadine di provincia dove accadono miracoli, le orge notturne nelle ville dei nuovi ricchi e le serate intellettuali che si concludono in drammatici suicidi. L’intento è di mettere in scena la disperata impotenza di una civiltà ormai allo sbando e di tanti individui incapaci di vivere sentimenti autentici. La scelta stilistica è però diametralmente opposta. Invece di raffreddare lo sguardo, Fellini lo colora di ironia e di sarcasmo. Il regista riminese accumula fatti, azioni e movimenti in un carosello sfrenato che compone un affresco composito, colorito, a tratti disordinato ma sempre appassionante.

Gilbert, Elizabeth

Eat, pray, love : one woman's search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia / Elizabeth Gilbert.

New York : Penguin Book, 2006.

Abstract: It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't want any of it. A divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance. So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains twenty-five pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.

Plath, Sylvia.

The bell jar / by Sylvia Plath.

London : Faber and Faber, 1966.

Abstract: Esther Greenwood is at college and is fighting two battles, one against her own desire for perfection in all things - grades, boyfriend, looks, career - and the other against remorseless mental illness. As her depression deepens she finds herself encased in it, bell-jarred away from the rest of the world. This is the story of her journey back into reality. Highly readable, witty and disturbing, The Bell Jar is Sylvia Plath's only novel and was originally published under a pseudonym in 1963. What it has to say about what women expect of themselves, and what society expects of women, is as sharply relevant today as it has always been.

Fellini, Federico.

Fellini 8 1/2 / directed by Federico Fellini.

[U.K.] : Nouveaux Pictures, 2001.

Abstract: Fresh off of the international success of La Dolce Vita, master director Federico Fellini moved into the realm of self-reflexive autobiography with what is widely believed to be his finest and most personal work. Marcello Mastroianni delivers a brilliant performance as Fellini's alter ego Guido Anselmi, a film director overwhelmed by the large-scale production he has undertaken. He finds himself harangued by producers, his wife, and his mistress while he struggles to find the inspiration to finish his film. The stress plunges Guido into an interior world where fantasy and memory impinge on reality. Fellini jumbles narrative logic by freely cutting from flashbacks to dream sequences to the present until it becomes impossible to pry them apart, creating both a psychological portrait of Guido's interior world and the surrealistic, circus-like exterior world that came to be known as "Felliniesque." 8 1/2 won an Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film, as well as the grand prize at the Moscow Film Festival, and was one of the most influential and commercially successful European art movies of the 1960s, inspiring such later films as Bob Fosse's All That Jazz (1979), Woody Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), and even Lucio Fulci's Italian splatter film Un Gatto nel Cervello (1990).

The Private Palladio / Guido Beltramini ; translated by Irena Murray and Eric Ormsby

Abstract: Andrea Palladio's villa architecture is still admired for its elegance and harmony, but little is known about the person behind the buildings. Experienced Palladio researcher Guido Beltramini has worked meticulously on material from historical documents about Palladio's person and life, and assembled a full picture of the architect. Palladio in Private follows his career, his rise from being the ordinary miller's son Pietro della Gondola to become the architect Andrea Palladio. Beltramini does not just explore Palladio's origins, his training as a stonemason, and his complex relationship with powerful clients and scholars, but also his private life: his jovial character, his life as a married man with five children, and not least his profound conviction that architecture can and must enrich life. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations.

Rivette, Jacques

Paris nous appartient = Paris belongs to us / un film de Jacques Rivette

Abstract: Anne, an innocent student, is sucked into a mystery involving an American political refugee (a victim of McCarthyism), a self-destructive femme fatale and a Spanish activist who may or may not have committed suicide. Gradually Anne becomes convinced of the existence of a vast, malign conspiracy. Rivette's disquieting film, suffused with sexual and political tension, is as much about its setting - a long-vanished Paris full of fleabag hotels and corduroy-clad intellectuals - as its story.
