IL CINEMA DI XAVIER DOLAN > I Workshop di LONG TAKE finalmente a Roma!
A grande richiesta, per la prima volta, i workshop di LongTake sbarcano a Roma! Dopo tanti eventi di successo a Milano, un appuntamento al Cine Detour (via Urbana 107), a pochi passi dal Colosseo e dalla Stazione Termini, con un workshop per conoscere più da vicino il cinema di un autore giovane ma già completamente affermato nel panorama cinematografico mondiale: 28 anni e sei lungometraggi all’attivo per un talento tutto da ammirare (e da scoprire). Un incontro per focalizzarsi sulla filmografia di Xavier Dolan e sviscerare i temi a lui più cari: il rapporto con la madre, la diversità, il disagio giovanile, l’importanza della musica nel suo cinema, tentando di intraprendere un percorso che ci porti ad avvicinarsi al suo pensiero e alla sua poetica.
