A free cinema ticket to the first ten readers who, this evening, deliver this page to the cash register of the Astoria multiplex starting from 6.30pm. Back to Black arrives in theaters. The film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, tells the life and career of Amy Winehouse, the English jazz singer who passed away on 23 July 2011, played by Marisa Abela. The film retraces the steps taken by the musician to become a world-famous star and even win a Grammy Award. Also new arrival is Civil War by Alex Garland. The action is set in the near future, in which the United States is fighting an exhausting civil war due to polarization between opposing factions. Hostilities have moved from social media into reality, leading to a real armed conflict. While two candidates fight to sit in the presidential chair of the White House, the armed forces attack civilians and journalists are shot on Capitol Hill. In this war climate, a photojournalist (Kirsten Dunst) travels through war zones and through her eyes we observe this terrible reality.
Among the choices there is also Life as a Cat, by Guillaume Maidatchevsky. The protagonists are Clémence (Capucine Sainson-Fabresse), a ten-year-old girl and Rroû, a kitten who loves to wander around the rooftops of Paris. One day the little girl finds the puppy in the attic of her house and decides to adopt him. When the family goes on holiday to a mountain village in the heart of the Vosges, north-east of France, Rroû finds himself in contact with nature for the first time. For a city cat, used to roofs and smog, it is not easy to deal with the wild forest.
That leaves Ghostbusters: Glacial Menace, the film directed by Gil Kenan, takes place in a torrid summer that is suddenly threatened by an evil force that kills by freezing the blood in the veins. In the middle of July, New York is attacked by a freezing storm and gutted by violent ice spikes. The only ones capable of saving the world are the Ghostbusters. It all picks up where it left off, the iconic firehouse where Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) began their hunt for dark forces forty years earlier .
Also still in theaters is A World Apart, a film directed by Riccardo Milani which tells the story of Michele Cortese (Antonio Albanese), a teacher who, with the help of the vice-principal (Virginia Raffaele), does everything to save a small country school from closure.
Finally, Zamora remains, a film directed by Neri Marcorè. Walter Vismara (Alberto Paradossi) is an old-fashioned engineer who must readapt to a new, more imaginative and ‘smart’ way of working.
