OSCARS 2024: HISTORY NEVER TEACHES

The 2024 Oscars highlighted a recurring message: history's lessons remain unheeded, with top awards going to historical films like "Oppenheimer" and "The Zone of Interest." These films spotlight the indifference to global conflicts. Amidst the backdrop of Hollywood glamour, introspective narratives on human suffering and societal issues were overshadowed. Standout performances, including a colorful turn by Ryan Gosling in "Barbie," punctuated the night. The event leaves us yearning for future cinema that not only entertains but deeply moves us.

"Haunting of The Queen Mary" Review: An Unforgettable Journey Through History, Love, and Suspense

Director Gary Shore's chilling masterpiece, "Haunting of The Queen Mary," takes audiences on an unforgettable voyage, seamlessly weaving together three interlocking tales of past and present. With a deft touch, Shore immerses us in the opulent world of the RMS Queen Mary, expertly conjuring its historical significance and eerie ambiance. The carefully chosen music amplifies every emotion, while the absence of breaks keeps us on the edge of our seats, craving resolution until the final heart-pounding moments. As the film explores interconnected worlds of tarot cards, folk beliefs, and the enduring ties that span generations, it resonates deeply, serving up food for thought. Anchored by outstanding performances, especially from Alice Eve and Joel Fry, and enhanced by captivating cinematography and authentic costumes, this film is a spine-tingling experience that beautifully captures the powerful love a mother holds for her children.

TWO

“Two” is a tribute to love, which takes life in so many different and amazing ways. Ray and the models Miriam and Federica, also a couple in the daily life, gave shape, through the camera, to images that highlight the pureness of the feelings, typical of the relationships of love. One of Ray’s priorities is to give us images where everything goes beyond the locations, the models or the moments captured in the shots. And in this collection, we can see Miriam and Federica, but at the same time we see what invisible line lives in them and in all of us, as well as in all the human beings who will be born in future or ever had life in past.

As probably each and everyone of you are probably aware, since the first ever fashion shows the importance of choosing the right models to present the collections is fundamental.

MY VOICE

La storia ci insegna quanto sia difficile raggiungere, in ogni campo, la parità di diritti e la sconfitta di discriminazioni e abusi. Poeti, scrittori, combattenti di ogni tipo, sono ricordati per aver provato a migliorare le cose, alzando più o meno la voce. Ricordiamo qui il testo della celebre canzone Strange Fruit, interpretata da tanti autori nel corso della storia, quali Billie Holiday e Nina Simone, che recitava queste parole e invitava, toccandoci dentro, a riflettere sul dramma vissuto tanti esseri umani.
