From his sundrenched garden in Miami, Iggy Pop reads from Michel Houellebecq’s “To Stay Alive.” In 1991, Houellebecq wrote this thought-provoking essay on insanity, survival and art, describing it as “a weak but clear signal to those on the point of giving up.” Houellebecq urges poets who are weary of life to “return to the origin; that is, to suffering.” A poet should put his finger on society’s wounds and press down hard, he says.
IGGY POP & MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ: “TO STAY ALIVE: A METHOD”. Again!
Hundreds of thousands of Turkish cats roam the metropolis of Istanbul freely. For thousands of years they’ve wandered in and out of people’s lives, becoming an essential part of the communities that make the city so rich. Claiming no owners, the cats of Istanbul live between two worlds, neither wild nor tame –and they bring joy and purpose to those people they choose to adopt. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to the people, allowing them to reflect on their lives in ways nothing else could.

LE JEUNE KARL MARX. Di Raoul Peck candidato all’Oscar e vincitore di BAFTA e César con “I’M Not Your Negro”
Marx and Engels meet cute in this intense, fervent film about the early development of communism from I Am Not Your Negro director Raoul Peck. It’s a sinewy and intensely focused, uncompromisingly cerebral period drama, co-written with Pascal Bonitzer, about the birth of communism in the mid-19th century. It gives you a real sense of what radical politics was about: talk. There is talk, talk and more talk. It should be dull, but it isn’t. Somehow the spectacle of fiercely angry people talking about ideas becomes absorbing and even gripping.

APRÈS LA GUERRE. Di Annarita Zambrano
The tranquil life of a former left-wing terrorist from Italy who started anew in France is upended when the law preventing his extradition is unexpectedly lifted in the captivating drama After the War (Dopo la guerra). Moving back and forth between the man hiding out in the southern boondocks with his moody, France-raised teenage daughter and the morose mother and sister he left behind in Italy — and with both families clearly impacted by the actions stemming from the lead’s radical idealism several decades earlier — this is intelligent and emotionally accessible fare that fuses the individual and the political while plumbing questions of personal morality and state responsibility.

Il cinema di DAVID LYNCH > I Workshop di LONG TAKE – Rome Edition
Dopo tanti eventi di successo a Milano, un appuntamento al Detour di Roma con un workshop per conoscere più da vicino il cinema di un autore di culto assoluto.
Durante gli incontri verrà analizzata la filmografia di David Lynch, da capolavori quali Eraserhead – La mente che cancella, Velluto blu, Mullholland Drive e Inland Empire fino alla recente terza serie di Twin Peaks, individuandone i temi principali e le scelte stilistiche più ricorrenti, provando a decifrare l’alone misterioso che lo circonda e che contribuisce a rendere lui e il suo cinema ancor più affascinanti.
Tenuto dal direttore di LongTake e critico de IlSole24Ore Andrea Chimento e dal critico di LongTake Davide Stanzione, il workshop è pensato per i fan di David Lynch e, più in generale, per gli amanti del grande cinema. Al termine dell’incontro ogni partecipante potrà analizzare un elemento emblematico dell’arte di Lynch (una sequenza, un brano musicale, una scelta, un dialogo, un fotogramma), elaborando un’analisi scritta che verrà pubblicata sul blog di LongTake.
