Following the global success of Past Lives, director Celine Song makes her grand return with the most anticipated romantic comedy of the season, Materialists, starring three exceptional stars: Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans. New York City, today. Lucy is a “matchmaker”: her job is to pair up singles based on certain parameters, which mainly have to do with the socio-economic status and physical attractiveness of the two people involved. During the wedding party of a couple she brought together, Lucy sees John again, the man with whom she shared a great love story but whom she left because, as a penniless actor, he could not give her the comforts she demanded - and in fact, he is still working as a waiter at the wedding. In the same circumstances, sitting at the singles table, Lucy also encounters Harry, who according to her professional standards is a “unicorn”: super rich, charming, polite, witty and looking for a serious relationship. From that moment on, Lucy is torn between two men who represent two opposing possibilities for her future.

Giunti Odeon resumes “The Big Dreamer,” the complete retrospective dedicated to David Lynch, with one of his most famous masterpieces: Blue Velvet. The opening of Lynch's new cinema: thus begins, inside an ear abandoned on the street, the filmmaker's most personal adventure. The American province, as if frozen in the 1950s, contains unspeakable perversions and just as much innocence. The two worlds look at each other and never close their eyes to the horror. Even Isabella Rossellini is overwhelmed by the monstrous. Blue Velvet is an essay on the USA in the form of a nightmarish nightmare: "Blue Velvet is a song by Bobby Vinton written in the 1950s, which I discovered and loved in the 1960s. A song that inspired a certain mood in me. As for velvet, it is an extraordinary material, sensual, rich, heavy... almost organic." (David Lynch)

To mark the release of Paul Thomas Anderson's eagerly awaited new film, One Battle After Another (showing at Giunti Odeon from September 25), we pay tribute to the great American director with a special screening of one of his most famous films, Inherent Vice, which will be presented for the occasion by writer Massimo Carlotto. Both films are based on novels by Thomas Pynchon. Doc Sportello, a crazy hippie who hangs out on Gordita Beach and is a part-time private investigator, is approached by his ex, Shasta Fey, who entrusts him with a complicated case. Suspicious of the intrigues surrounding her new lover, the real estate developer Wolfmann, she wants to prevent him from being forcibly hospitalized. Doc doesn't even have time to start his investigation before he ends up being accused of murder by his friend-enemy Bigfoot, a homicide detective.
