Historia

Ermanno Olmi (born July 24, 1931 in Bergamo, Lombardy) was a renowned Italian film director. Olmi's films have been described as "humanistic and reflective, portraying everyday people in particular landscapes and locations, while at the same time being charged with social comment and poetic flashes." His films fit into the artistic mold of Italian neorealism, though Olmi argued, in an interview found on the Criterion Edition DVD of his 1961 film, Il Posto, that this was the artistic tradition he was responding against because he used non-actors in authentic locations whereas neorealism, he claimed, used professional actors. However, many neorealist directors also used non-professional actors for secondary and sometimes even primary roles. His films, like most of those considered to be products of the neorealist movement, are shot in long, slow takes, and generally contain some sort of social commentary.

Extraído de la novela de Beppe Fenoglio, Un asunto privado sigue la historia del joven partidista Milton (Luca Marinelli), enamorado de la bella Fulvia, perdiendo el hilo durante la guerra de resistencia en las Langhe. En el contexto de la batalla partidista, el protagonista emprende un viaje heroico en busca del amor perdido y de la verdad que gira en torno a él.

Vedete, sono uno di voi
(voice)
The film is the personal story of a protagonist of our times and traces Carlo Martini's actions and thoughts, as he has remained faithful to its vocation and ideals. Through dramatic events (terrorism, Tangentopoli, labor crisis, conflict, loneliness) Carlo Martini interpreted losses and concerns of the people, who saw a free man and a non dogmatic prince of the Gospel Church. Thanks to the authenticity of his testimony he has been a reference point for believers and non-believers, a prophet of hope, a forerunner of Pope Francis.

Estamos en el frente noreste, tras los recientes enfrentamientos de 1917 en las mesetas. La historia se desarrolla durante una sola noche. Los acontecimientos se suceden de modo impredecible: a veces largas esperas donde el miedo te hace confiar, momento a momento, hasta que te toca a ti. Tanto es así, que la paz de la montaña es un lugar donde morir.

El Oficio de las Armas
Writer
En los albores del siglo XVI, el joven Giovanni de Médici era capitán del ejército papal en la campaña contra los lansquenetes del emperador Carlos V de Alemania. En vida, ya era un mito, pues se lo disputaban los príncipes por su gran experiencia en el oficio de la guerra. Amaba la vida. La diosa Fortuna y las mujeres le sonreían. Ni un pensamiento sobre la muerte cruzaba su mente. Su ruina fue la aparición de las armas de fuego: una bala de cañón le alcanzó una pierna, la gangrena se extendió y hubo que amputarla. Aún así, la necrosis fue inevitable y el feroz guerrero falleció el 29 de noviembre de 1526.
