At Giunti Odeon, one of the most captivating films of the year: Michael, a cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known. The film tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the leader of the Jackson Five to becoming a visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless quest to become the world’s greatest performer. Highlighting both his life offstage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film offers audiences a front-row seat to see Michael Jackson like never before. This is where his story begins. 

For the first time ever, in a one-time screening event at Giunti Odeon, Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece as we were always meant to see it: uncut, featuring never-before-seen scenes, and all in one film. Among the highlights of this once-in-a-lifetime cinematic event are the fight against the 88 Madmen in full color and 7½ minutes of previously unreleased footage from the anime flashback depicting O-Ren Ishii’s past. Uma Thurman plays The Bride, believed dead by her former mentor and lover Bill, who ambushes her during her wedding rehearsal, shooting her in the head and taking the life of the child she was carrying. To exact her revenge, she sets out to track down the four remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad before her final showdown with Bill.

Giunti Odeon presents Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Howard Hawks, the second appointment of the MARILYN 100 retrospective, which celebrates Marilyn Monroe on the 100th anniversary of her birth. Guess Esmond, the son of an American millionaire, falls in love with a dancer named Lorelei. But the father of the lanky young heir disapproves of the relationship and forbids his son from traveling to Europe to marry the woman he loves. The girl, however, does not give up on the trip and decides to go to Paris with her colleague and friend Dorothy.

Giunti Odeon presents Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated return with what critics have already hailed as one of the films of the year—and some have even called it “Spielberg’s best film of the past twenty years.” The story centers on a Kansas City meteorologist, played by Emily Blunt. During a live television broadcast, the woman loses her voice and begins to emit a series of sinister, alien “ticks,” leaving the audience and her colleagues in a state of shock. This event is just the beginning of what is known as “Revelation Day.” While the government tries to contain the panic, a group of individuals argues that the truth about extraterrestrial presence belongs to the seven billion people inhabiting the planet and should no longer be a state secret. The film explores what would happen if humanity discovered irrefutable evidence of extraterrestrial life on our planet, bringing Spielberg back to the realm he has done more than anyone else to turn into a popular myth: that of the encounter with aliens.

One of Hayao Miyazaki’s greatest masterpieces and one of the greatest in the history of animated cinema returns to the big screen at Giunti Odeon: Princess Mononoke, in a stunning new 4K version. After a clash with a beast possessed by a demon, Prince Ashitaka is afflicted by a deadly curse. He therefore sets out on a journey to discover its origin and seek a cure from the great Beast God, the only one capable of healing him. Upon arriving in the regions where the beast came from, he discovers a war between humans and a primitive race of forest animals—giants, sentient beings aided by the one they call the Ghost Princess, a girl raised by wolves who has renounced humanity. On the other side, the humans, led by Lady Eboshi — who governs her village of blacksmiths with love, justice, and compassion — want to work the mountain and cut down the trees to extract iron (a source of wealth). In the midst of this, a group of monks tries to incite the humans to kill the Beast God and steal his head because, it is said, it grants eternal youth. Before the screening, all audience members will receive a complimentary reprint of the film’s original poster.
