On the big screen of Giunti Odeon arrives one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year: Queer, directed by Luca Guadagnino with Daniel Craig, adapted from the novel of the same name by William S. Burroughs and already in competition at the last Venice Film Festival, is set in 1950. William Lee is an American in his forties expatriate in Mexico City. He spends his days almost entirely alone, apart from his few relationships with other members of the small American community. His encounter with Eugene Allerton, a young student who has just arrived in the city, deludes him for the first time of the possibility of finally establishing an intimate connection with someone. 

Back on the big screen at Giunti Odeon is the definitive final cut of one of the most celebrated films in film history, the cult film directed by Ridley Scott, with expanded scenes and special effects never before seen in the 1982 version. In November 2019, in Los Angeles, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former Blade Runner, is called out of retirement when four dangerous replicants return to Earth with their leader, Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer). Designed to do difficult and dangerous work, the lab-created humans are stronger, faster and smarter than unmodified humans. They feel no pain or remorse; they are almost indistinguishable from other humans... and they are killing people. Deckard must stop them before they kill again.

At Giunti Odeon the film that won the Oscar for Best Documentary. No Other Land, made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-created during the region's darkest times as an act of creative resistance to apartheid and a search for a path to equality and justice. Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting since childhood against the mass expulsion of his community by the Israeli occupation. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta as soldiers destroy families' homes, the largest single act of forced relocation ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. She meets Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins her struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion, growing closer and closer. Their complex bond, however, is affected by the extreme inequality between their living conditions: Basel, who lives under brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free to move around.

"Films can be pure fiction or pure truth. My life as long as it happens is pure truth. I took off my mask because I no longer want to be misunderstood. This is my home, my life made of edges, stumbles, books, wood, climbing. Come in, if you want'. At Giunti Odeon the documentary film on one of today's best-loved Italian writers, Mauro Corona: an intimate portrait of the Friulian writer, sculptor and mountaineer. Through monologues, voice-overs and conversations with friends such as Piero Pelù, Erri De Luca and Davide Van De Sfroos, the film explores Mauro Corona's philosophy of life, touching on themes such as his rebellious youth, his difficult relationship with his parents, his fight against alcoholism and his passion for writing and mountaineering. Literary quotations, taken from the book “The Swings” and interpreted by the narrator Giancarlo Giannini, enrich the narrative, while the majestic mountain peaks provide a backdrop for the protagonist's reflections.

At Giunti Odeon an important documentary about our eating habits and the way we treat animals, and the effects this has on our planet and our care. Filmmaker Thomas Pickering has never eaten meat. Born in the 1980s and raised vegetarian, he later switched to a vegan diet. Tom has always believed in doing the right thing for animals, for his health and, more recently, for the planet. Despite this, not a day goes by without someone telling him ‘I could never go vegan’ From ‘where do you get your protein’ and ‘soya is destroying the rainforests’ to ‘vegan food is expensive’ and ‘climate change doesn't exist’, he has heard it all. So Tom decides to embark on a journey to investigate the many reasons he has heard over the years, to see if they are well-founded or if his upbringing has been one big plant-based scam. On his way, Tom meets several top athletes, witnessing world records, championship successes and an 84-year-old competing in his sixth ultramarathon. He talks to doctors, environmental scientists, psychologists and chefs. He follows investigative journalists and activists as they infiltrate intensive livestock farms, where he discovers that the A grade awarded to the UK for its farming practices is not what it seems...

Twenty years after its theatrical release, one of Tim Burton's and international animation cinema's masterpieces returns to the big screen at Giunti Odeon. 19th century. The young and insecure Victor is about to marry his peer Victoria in a marriage arranged by his parents. The two meet for the first time during the rehearsal of the ceremony and, fortunately for them, there is an immediate spark. To their misfortune, however, Victor is so nervous that he is terribly clumsy, leading to the postponement of the wedding. Dismayed by what has happened, he takes refuge in the nearby forest to practise pronouncing the wedding oath. To make sure he performs each step perfectly, he even slips his wedding ring into a branch peeping out of the ground. Suddenly, however, the skeleton of a woman dressed as a bride emerges from the ground: she says her name is Emily and she intends to make Victor fulfil his involuntary promise of love. The film will be presented by a special guest: Carlos Grangel, who created the film's characters for Tim Burton and is one of today's leading Character Designer (his work has been exhibited in some of the world's most important cultural institutions, including the MoMa in New York and the Cinématheque Francais in Paris).
