From the new 'Avatar' to 'No Other Choice', the films to watch during the holidays
An overview of titles to watch during this year's Christmas festivities: from James Cameron's blockbuster to Park Chan-wook's latest work
The Christmas holidays, as we know, are one of the luckiest times of the year for cinemas and box offices. For a Christmas, Boxing Day, or New Year's Eve and Epiphany at the cinema, here is a guide to 10 of the most significant titles
Avatar - Fire and Ashes
There is not much to add to these words: James Cameron has done it again. With his third chapter in the saga set on Pandora, he confirms himself as one of the greatest directors of recent years and signs yet another spectacular and very human film of his career. Not to be missed.
Father Mother Sister Brother
The name of one of the greatest American filmmakers of recent decades is enough to make this a film not to be missed: Jim Jarmusch has returned to episodic cinema with this three-part film focusing on various family relationships. It is not the best work by the director of 'Dead Man' and 'Ghost Dog', but it won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and is just one more reason not to miss this funny and touching work.
My family in Taipei
Little I-Jing's family returns to Taipei after several years. While her single mother copes with debts by running a kiosk in a bustling night market and her older sister helps out with a part-time job, the little girl explores the new city life with wonder: the streets, the stalls, the lights of the metropolis. Director Shih-Ching Tsou, after her long association with Oscar-winner Sean Baker (producer, co-writer and editor of the film), signs a significant debut, an intimate story between tradition and modernity.
Attitudes: none
Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo return to the big screen in a beautiful documentary signed by Sophie Chiarello that shows their 'method', talks about theatre, cinema and above all the relationships within a trio that has made the history of contemporary Italian comedy. For their fans, but not only, this is a film to see, capable of making us discover a different face to the one we knew of the three well-known actors.
