Bugonia (original version with Italian subtitles)
Regia: Yorgos Lanthimos
Cast: Emma Stone, Aidan Delbis, Alicia Silverstone, Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias
Giunti Odeon presents the highly anticipated new film by visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone: the two collaborate for the fourth time after the extraordinarily successful films The Favourite, Poor Things, and Kinds of Kindness. Presented in competition at the last Venice Film Festival, Bugonia stars Teddy, who works as a bagger in the branch of a large shipping company and lives in a messy house on the outskirts of a big city, where he takes care of bees and his cousin Donald, who has been left alone. But the bees are disappearing, and Teddy is convinced that the same fate is about to befall the human race. What's more, he is convinced that aliens are already among us, and to prove it, he stages the kidnapping of Michelle Fuller, the powerful CEO of a multinational pharmaceutical company.

Diario di un trapezista
Regia: Sigfrido Ranucci
Cast: Sigfrido Ranucci
Diario di un trapezista (Diary of A Trapeze Artist) is a theatrical presentation that reveals a secret side to Sigfrido Ranucci, parallel to the one you are used to seeing on television, who, in order to carry out his investigations, had to make choices, even in a matter of seconds, that have forever changed his life. I have learned that it is not so much a person's qualities that define their destiny, but their choices. Even the ones they don't make. There are people who, with their presence and their choices, while remaining in the shadows, have been instrumental in the realisation of my investigations, people who seem to have come out of a novel.
There is a vagabond who helps me achieve the most important international scoop in the history of Rai, the one on the bombing of Falluja, where the United States used the chemical agent white phosphorus. Then there is a taxi driver who helps me find Tanzi's art gallery, dozens of masterpieces worth millions of euros that had escaped the investigations of two public prosecutors and the world's most important international investigation agency, Krol.
A Swiss producer who spends sleepless nights saving toads, and who saved me from the trap set by a politician who had me spied on to block my investigation into his administration and destroy my career. There is a deputy headmistress of a school who helped me carry out an investigation into arms trafficking and a robber from Puglia who witnessed the mafia's order to kill me. Then there is the teacher who filmed the mysterious meeting between Senator Matteo Renzi and former 007 Marco Mancini in a motorway service station. Finally, there is Lavinia, a bodyguard who helped me foil the plan of some politicians to replace me as host of #Report. I have come to believe that all the people I have met in my life had a purpose, and those who left did so because they had fulfilled that purpose. They all took a piece of me with them and taught me something, some even taught me not to be like them.

The restaurant
Caffè Odeon, a place to nourish mind and body
Open daily: 11:30 AM - 12:00 AM
Caffè Odeon in Florence was born from the encounter with the Giunti publishing house, and from the project to give new life to the historic Odeon cinema, transforming it into a multifunctional cultural center.
The idea is simple and ambitious: to create a space open all day, like the great Mitteleuropean cafés, where you can enjoy dishes from different gastronomic traditions, a varied pastry selection, a carefully curated coffee service, as well as wines, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.
Eating, drinking a coffee or a good glass of wine have much in common with reading a book or watching a film: they are different ways of experiencing stories, through the senses. It is this connection that makes our dream a reality.
A place of history and beauty
Since 1922, the most beautiful films, the most distinguished guests, and the most remarkable events have taken the stage at the magnificent cinema-theatre in Piazza Strozzi, Florence. Come visit us.
Odeon, a century of cinema and culture.
A book filled with images, documents, stories, and curiosities retraces the history of one of Florence's most iconic places, from its origins to the present day. Discover more.
