In 1893, H.G. Wells was showing off his Time Machine that he had constructed to a small group of select friends. What he didn’t realize was that one of the friends was actually Jack the Ripper. When the police came close to capturing the murderer, the killer used Wells’ machine to escape to 1979.(Time After Time, Flm)

The Don Is Dead (1973)
"You know when I'll settle down, Vince? Get a wife, kids? When I can get up in the morning knowing I got a fifty-fifty chance of coming home alive."

RACCONTAMI SHAKESPEARE allo Spazio Teatro No'hma - Milano il 17 & 18/01
La stagione di prosa 2023/2024 dello Spazio Teatro No'hma prosegue mercoledì 17 e giovedì 18 gennaio con un spettacolo dedicato a Charles e Mary Lamb, i famosi fratelli inglesi che nel 1807 pubblicarono il volume "Racconti da Shakespeare", che conquistò subito il posto tra i più affermati classici per l'infanzia.
Andrea Cioffi e Sara Guardascione della compagnia Cercamond portano in scena con "Raccontami Shakespeare" la vita tragica di questi due giovani ispirati scrittori, segnati da una terribile vicenda familiare (Mary accoltellò la madre in seguito a un raptus di follia) e le cui esistenze sembrano uscite da una tragedia del Bardo.
Uniti da un vincolo profondo, Charles e Mary Lamb condivisero amicizie e interessi letterari fino a ricevere dall'editore William Godwin – padre di Mary Shelley - l'incarico di adattare alcune opere di Shakespeare in racconti per l'infanzia.
"Abbiamo scelto di fare un lavoro di ricerca su due personaggi storici realmente esistiti perché partendo dalla loro opera abbiamo tratteggiato due caratteri moderni e affascinanti, le cui battaglie sociali e artistiche risultano ancora oggi attuali e necessarie" – spiegano i due interpreti.
"Raccontami Shakespeare" è costruito su un dialogo evocativo e ironico che alterna momenti di narrazione nei quali alcuni dei più celebri personaggi shakesperiani vivono grazie alla voce e ai sentimenti dei due autori. Il racconto diventa così una storia spietata e comica, dalle tinte gotiche, capace di trasformarsi anche in occasione di denuncia contro un sistema educativo antiquato, un teatro autoreferenziato e una deriva sociale che ha come suo stesso motore la discriminazione del più debole e del diverso.
"Questi due fratelli sono stati capaci di evadere da uno scenario macabro come quello del loro vissuto, e dall'isolamento che ne conseguì, attraverso l'amore e la dedizione al teatro, alla letteratura e alla scrittura. La Bellezza li ha salvati e sono diventati tra gli scrittori più importanti della letteratura per l'infanzia. La loro è un'opera sicuramente sovversiva e allo stesso tempo appassionata" – spiega Livia Pomodoro, presidente dello Spazio Teatro No'hma Teresa Pomodoro.
Le date di mercoledì 17 e giovedì 18 gennaio saranno trasmesse in streaming sui canali del teatro.
L'ingresso è gratuito con prenotazione obbligatoria. Per informazioni consultare il sito www.nohma.org o scrivere a [email protected].

Jack the Ripper escaped the past in a time machine built by H.G. Wells and ended up trapped in 1979. Wells followed the murderer from the past and a game of cat and mouse began in the future world… at least to them. (Time After Time, Flm)

THE MARTYR SALVADOR ALLENDE
Salvador Allende is an Iconic "Mártir" (martyr) who is in the heart and is a symbol to all Latín American patriot struggling against the USA oligarch nazi-capitalist terrorist government.
Missing is a 1982 American biographical thriller drama film directed by Costa-Gavras from a screenplay written by Gavras and Donald E. Stewart, adapted from the book The Execution of Charles Horman: An American Sacrifice (1978) by Thomas Hauser (later republished under the title Missing in 1982), based on the disappearance of American journalist Charles Horman, in the aftermath of the United States-backed Chilean coup of 1973, which deposed the democratically elected socialist President Salvador Allende.
It stars Jack Lemmon, Sissy Spacek, Melanie Mayron, John Shea, Janice Rule and Charles Cioffi. Set largely during the days and weeks following Horman's disappearance, the film examines the relationship between Horman's wife Beth and his father Edmund and their subsequent quest to find Horman.
It received four nominations at the 55th Academy Awards; Best Picture, Best Actor (for Lemmon), Best Actress (for Spacek) and won Best Adapted Screenplay. The film created significant controversy in Chile and was banned during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship; neither Chile nor Pinochet is mentioned by name, although the Chilean cities of Viña del Mar and Santiago are.

"It's just so silly to think that somebody else can help anybody, isn't it?"
I liked the part with the cat food.
With a solid mix of cold cynicism and hopeful romanticism, Klute kept me well entertained. The strength of its writing for characters and dialogue more than made up for the somewhat subdued plot.��
Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland's performances were both excellent; Their characters felt grounded and believable, and the relationship between them that made up the core of the movie was compelling. Charles Cioffi's character was quite undeveloped for someone with such a significant role in the latter half of the movie, which was certainly an odd decision.
Nice camerawork throughout, with paranoia-inducing shots and some great uses of light and shadow. The scene with Klute pursuing the suspect through the abandoned apartment had an incredibly tense, creepy tone. There were a couple of unsettling bird's eye shots, of an industrial elevator ascending in complete silence, that were particularly effective.
Michael Small's score worked really well with the material, giving it plenty of breathing space, but coming in strong during emotional and tense moments. There was a bit of an issue with pacing, particularly with the interspersed psychiatrist conversations, and the ending was pretty anti-climactic all things considered. I think I liked the idea of Klute just a little more than the actual implementation, which was a shame.
A moody neo-noir thriller with great atmosphere. Very good.
