La lucida follia di Marco Ferreri
Selma Dell'Olio
Marco Ferreri, Isabelle Huppert
Marco Ferreri: Dangerous But Necessary is a trip through the auteur's singular cosmos - at once supernatural and earthbound. He dropped out of his studies to become a veterinarian, choosing instead to concern himself principally with the human animal, in our corporeal and yearning essence.

The Voyage of Captain Fracassa
Ettore Scola
Massimo Troisi, Ornella Muti
Serafina, Pulcinella and Isabella are three lusty, beautiful members of a traveling theatrical troupe touring the French countryside in the 17th century, leaving in their wake a crop of broken hearts. This picaresque romantic comedy is based on the 1863 novel Le Capitaine Fracasse by Theophile Gauthier. In the story, the company stops at a castle owned by the scruffy young Baron de Sigognac, who is deeply smitten with the charms of the middle-aged (and somewhat morose) beauty Serafina. He decides to travel with the company, and Serafina perversely tries to get him to woo the youngest of the company, the newly bereaved Isabella.

The documentary focuses on Marco Ferreri and shows an unconventional man, extreme, provocative in ways, always a step ahead in its work, and often considered a visionary and experimental.

A Season of Giants
Jerry London
F. Murray Abraham, Mark Frankel
Микеланджело Буонарроти (1475 — 1564), гений, чье имя стало символом эпохи Возрождения. Его жизнь была полна взлетов и падений, трагедий и любви. Он знал, что такое нищета, отчаяние, одиночество. И что такое — медные трубы всеобщего восхищения. Никчемный каменотес, как называл его родной отец, не понимавший одержимого стремления юного Микеланджело посвятить себя искусству, стал величайшим скульптором и живописцем (а еще — архитектором, поэтом и мыслителем). Давид, Пьета в соборе святого Петра в Ватикане, фрески Сикстинской капеллы… Разве можно представить нашу жизнь без этих удивительных и прекрасных произведений? Этот фильм переносит нас в Рим и Флоренцию конца XV — начала XVI веков и погружает в драматичнейший период истории Италии.

Madly in Love
Giuseppe Moccia, Franco Castellano
Adriano Celentano, Ornella Muti
Cristina is a rich, spoiled princess visiting Rome with her royal parents. The mission of their visit is to marry her off to a super-wealthy corporate type and thereby start to turn around the losses their small kingdom is experiencing in its casino business. These less-than-noble intentions get derailed when Barnaba, a zany bus driver enters their lives and falls madly in love with the gorgeous Cristina. He is nuts enough to succeed in this romantic chase after royalty, as love seems to fuel his determination to rid Cristina of her elitism and to make her see his own irrepressible attractions.
