At Giunti Odeon one of the most most important film of the year: Jacques Audiard's latest masterpiece, Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and winner of 4 Golden Globes, including Best Picture. Rita is a lawyer working for a big firm, more interested in exonerating criminals than in bringing them to justice. One day she receives a completely unexpected offer: to help a powerful Mexican drug cartel boss retire from his shady business and disappear forever. The man plans to implement the project he has been working on for years: to become the woman he has always dreamed of being. Unsatisfied with her job, Rita decides to accept the assignment, unaware that this choice will change the lives of many forever. 

At Giunti Odeon the highly anticipated new film starring Timothée Chalamet.  Directed by James Mangold, A Complete Unknown is set in 1960s New York where a 19-year-old musician from Minnesota, Bob Dylan, is establishing himself as a folk singer. We follow his performances in the concert halls of the Big Apple and witness his meteoric rise to the top of the charts. Thanks to the unmistakable charm of his songs, his popularity soon transcends the borders of North America, giving him worldwide success. His extraordinary artistic journey of those years culminated with his groundbreaking rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

WARNING: ‘A Complete Unknown’ contains several sequences of images and flashing light effects that could be disturbing for people potentially predisposed to photosensitive epilepsy or other forms of photosensitivity.

Giunti Odeon pays tribute to one of the most important writers of the Italian 20th century, Mario Tobino. The documentary film Mario Tobino: per le antiche mura, through the memory of his granddaughter Isabella, recounts the figure of the Tuscan writer (and psychiatrist). A man who lived and worked in Lucca's psychiatric hospital from 1942 until his retirement in 1980. It was within those ancient walls that, thanks to his great ‘therapeutic love’ for ‘his madmen’, his novels, among the truest and most important of 20th century Italian literature, came to life. In particular, the experience of working in an asylum can be read in the pages of: Le libere donne di Magliano (1953); Per le antiche scale (1972); Gli ultimi giorni di Magliano (1982); Il Manicomio di Pechino (1990).

A few days after David Lynch's death, Giunti Odeon pays tribute to one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema with a new special screening of one of his last masterpieces. Released in 2001 and hailed as ‘the most important film of the 21st century’, Mulholland Drive stars Betty, a naive dreamer from deepest Ontario who arrives in Hollywood with dreams of becoming a star. Waiting for roles and glory, she stays in the flat of her aunt, who has returned to Canada. Behind the door she finds Rita, a brunette femme fatale who escaped an accident and two gunmen who wanted her dead. But Rita doesn't know this (anymore) because she has lost her memory behind a curve in Mulholland Drive. Betty and Rita, the name is borrowed from Hayworth, investigate to find her, becoming accomplices and then lovers. The former excels in casting, the latter gradually reconstructs her identity. But the move to the cabaret ‘Silencio’ redistributes names and roles. Betty ‘wakes up’ Diane Selwyn in a miserable flat. Always blonde and always provincial, she tries to be an actress and only gets insignificant roles. She meets and loves Rita, who is now called Camilla Rhodes, is a star of the silver screen and is about to marry a fashionable director. Rejected by her lover and Hollywood, Diane hires a hitman to kill Camilla and then ‘dreams’ to regain her innocence.

After the success of Perfect Blue, Giunti Odeon now brings Paprika  by master Satoshi Kon (1963-2010), one of the most acclaimed masterpieces of Japanese animation cinema. Presented as a world premiere at the 63rd Venice International Film Festival in 2006, Paprika is based on the novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui and represents a milestone in the history of cinematographic art and the collective imagination. First released in Italian theatres in 2007 and internationally awarded, the film is universally recognised as one of the best works of the late Satoshi Kon, an eccentric and visionary cult director, who played a crucial role for all the colleagues of his generation and became known worldwide for masterpieces such as Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers. Thanks to his unique vision and bold style, Paprika has profoundly influenced contemporary cinema, inspiring internationally renowned directors and becoming a reference for works such as Christopher Nolan's Inception. Set in the near future, Paprika tells the story of Dr Atsuko Chiba and her dreamlike alter ego Paprika. Using the DC Mini, a technology that enables the exploration of other people's dreams, the film tackles profound themes such as identity, the subconscious mind and the boundaries between reality and imagination.The work stands out for its innovative storytelling and extraordinary animation, which transports the viewer to an unprecedented dream universe that now appears more contemporary than ever. The soundtrack is by Susumu Hirasawa.
