Company Highlights
GLI ANNI PIU BELLI / THE BEST YEARS 2020
Genre: Drama
Director: Gabriele Muccino
Screenplay: Gabriele Muccino, Paolo Costella
Cast: Pierfrancesco Favino, Kim Rossi Stuart, Micaela Ramazotti
The Best Years is like a trip to Italy with the possibility to revisit the last 40 years of change. For the three best friends, Paolo, Giulio and Riccardo the world is still theirs to conquer when they meet in 1982 at 16. But over the years while their lives intermingle and are driven by their love for Gemma, they experience the many tides of recent Italian society: Mani Puliti, the Berlusconi years, the economic downturn, the birth of Cinque Stelle.
FALLING 2020
Genre: Drama
Director: Viggo Mortensen
Screenplay: Viggo Mortensen
Cast: Lance Henriksen, Viggo Mortensen, Laura Linney
Falling is the first directorial work by the much beloved Viggo Mortensen. In this very personal work we not only follow the strained relationship between a rural father and his modern son, who has married his boyfriend and the couple has adopted a daughter from South America. But the meeting of the two in Los Angeles because of a medical condition unleashes not only two different sets of male values: the strong, silent macho type and the wake, modern man. It also triggers the memories of both characters of living on a farm in the 60ties, watching a marriage fall apart, the wish to leave and still being connected to the earth, the animals and the seasons.
