Mickey 17 (original version with Italian subtitles)

Director : Bong Joon-ho

Cast : Robert Pattinson, Mark Ruffalo, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette

Durata : 02:17

Arriving at Giunti Odeon is the new film by Bong Joon-ho, the Korean master director of the cult film Parasite, winner of 4 Academy Awards. Starring a stellar cast (Robert Pattinson, Mark Ruffallo, Toni Collette) and just presented at the Berlin Film Festival, the film is set in 2054: the lack of opportunities on Earth drives the masses to interstellar pilgrimage, which inevitably means exploitation by the powerful demagogues at the helm of these expeditions. One of them is Kenneth Marshall, a failed politician seeking a new era for humanity on an inhospitable planet inhabited by strange creatures. In order to escape dangerous moneylenders, Mickey Barnes agrees to board the spaceship by signing a contract as an expendable, a handyman destined to die repeatedly thanks to a technology that allows a body to be ‘reprinted’ indefinitely while maintaining its consciousness.

Tribute to Gene Hackman: The Conversation 4K (restored original version with Italian subtitles)

Director : Francis Ford Coppola

Cast : Gene Hackman, Allen Garfield, Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest, John Cazale

Durata : 01:54

A few days after Gene Hackman's death, Giunti Odeon pays tribute to one of the greatest actors in film history with one of his most extraordinary films, directed by a master like Francis Ford Coppola. Golden Palme winner at the Cannes Film Festival in 1974, The Conversation is a psychological thriller that over time has become a true cult film. On the notes of the evocative soundtrack composed by David Shire and with extraordinary sound editing by Walter Murch, an unforgettable Gene Hackman - alienated face, moustache, mackintosh and saxophone - plays the role of the paranoid Harry Caul, an expert in electronic surveillance grappling with a case that could have dramatic consequences and that plunges him into a profound crisis of conscience. It is a fierce document against the absurdities of technical progress, which annihilates man's personality without making him more efficient. When the film was released, the Watergate case had just broken out in America.

Taxi Driver 4K (Italian version)

Director : Martin Scorsese

Cast : Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Jodie Foster

Durata : 01:54

Almost fifty years after its theatrical release, Martin Scorsese's masterpiece starring Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver, returns to the big screen at Giunti Odeon in an extraordinary 4K restored version (in Italian), to relive the great visual and narrative power of a film that has forever marked the history of cinema. Taxi Driver recounts the descent into madness of Travis Bickle, a former marine and night taxi driver, alienated from a corrupt and violent New York. Between insomnia, loneliness and a growing obsession with violence, Travis falls into a spiral of madness that leads him to plan an extreme act. Featuring Paul Schrader as screenplay and accompanied by Bernard Herrmann's score, the film explores themes of alienation, violence and redemption in a dark and suffocating metropolis. A Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, Taxi Driver has become a cultural icon thanks to Scorsese's visionary direction and the extraordinary performance of Robert De Niro, flanked by a very young Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel. This 4K restored edition offers an unprecedented visual and sound experience, allowing audiences to rediscover every detail of a film that defined an era.

The ‘Pinocchio’ exhibition curated by Fabio De Poli

To coincide with the opening of the Pinocchio Museum (Via Ricasoli, Florence), the 'Pinocchio' exhibition curated by Fabio De Poli can be visited on the first floor of Giunti Odeon. ‘Fabio De Poli declares, at the beginning, his prejudiced and obstinate dislike for Pinocchio and pinocchios. Except that he then ‘repented’ and recreated, fascinated by paper, colour, scissors, and the ‘poor’ materials of a skilful painting, a kind of tale by silhouettes, where the memory of Mazzanti, but also of Mattioli, is pushed forward, and transforms each character into a coloured cutout, as in a game of children who have learnt, and well, the lesson of Matisse. De Poli stands at the extreme edge of contact between the illustration of the book and the painting of the work. His work is both. (...) De Poli's most significant plates are however those where Pinocchio takes revenge on the artist's declared antipathy and occupies space in a total manner, with his edges, his lines, his dynamic twists, dividing the collage space with them, becoming shadow and backlight, optical effect and material and tactile reality.’ (Valentino Baldacci and Andrea Rauch, Pinocchio e la sua immagine, Giunti 2006, p.44).
