by Pierre Salvadori
With: Catherine Deneuve, Gustave Kervern, Féodor Atkine, Pio Marmaï, Michèle Moretti.
The courtyard (“Dans la cour” is the original title) takes us immediately to the agora, ideal social place, scenic space where the director makes things happen, from the encounter of the troubled hearts of a man and woman and producing a feeling that has nothing to do with desire or attraction, but rather with support.

SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK
by Charlie Kaufman
With: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Samantha Morton, Michelle Williams, Catherine Keener,
Emily Watson.
The synecdoche, rhetorical figure that indicates the part used for the whole. In the film, this part is the theatre, and the whole is life itself, or rather the attempt to understand who we are, putting our behaviour on stage. Life itself, a synecdoche of that death which indistinctly regards all of us.

WINTER SLEEP
by Nuri Bilge Ceylan

A monumental film on existence.
A journey towards the winter of life, when the impetus, passion and desire for the new is replaced by the need for reflection and quiet, and the real adventure becomes that of finding the courage to accept ourselves for what we really are.
25 November
BOYHOOD
by Richard Linklater
With: Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, Ellar Coltrane.
2 December
SALT OF THE EARTH
by Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, Wim Wenders
An incredible voyage round the world seen through the eyes and camera of Salgado. His photos are an event, an experience. For him, the writer’s ink is light, an essential instrument with which he shapes his works. Salgado has visited and immortalised unexplored boundless territories, forests that seem enchanted and remote far-flung regions, but along the way he also witnessed genocide, famine and brutality of every kind.
Wenders has made a collage of Salgado’s photographic experiences, triggering strong and conflicting emotions in the viewer.
9 December
Cinema ODEON 21.30
MODERN TIMES
by Charles Chaplin
(USA 1936)
With: Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman, Tiny Sandford.
Great genius of modernity, anticipating its insanity, Charlie Chaplin in 1936 created one of his great masterpieces “Modern times”, an irresistibly comical film that at the same time captures an image of the future.
“Modern Times” is the film where Chaplin parts from the character of Charlot; in the closing scenes, we hear, for the first time, his voice.
16 December
RETURN TO ITHACA
by Laurent Cantet
With: Isabel Santos, Jorge Perugorría, Fernando Hechevarria, Néstor Jiménez.
Set on a Havana terrace with the Malecon in the background.
The film was written together with the Cuban novelist Padura. Through the medium of cinematographic language he returns to the theme which defines his work: his generation’s place in recent Cuban history and the events which have influenced the individual and collective destiny of these young people.
