Giunti Odeon pays tribute to the dark universe of Tim Burton, one of the creative geniuses of world cinema and one of the most versatile and fascinating artists of our time, thanks to his ability to shape a unique and unmistakable poetic universe. We celebrate the great American director and artist with a selection of his most famous films, all in original version with Italian subtitles.
Giunti Odeon celebrates female cinema, proposing three cult films, one from the past and two from the present, with women as the absolute protagonists. Tenacious and passionate, torn between difficult choices and passionate loves, those told in these two films are the women who stop at nothing and who are not afraid to face the pitfalls of life, without giving up their own identity.
An extraordinary journey through the myths, masterpieces and legends of Hollywood cinema. From Keaton to Kubrick, from Welles to Coppola and Scorsese, at Giunti Odeon a series of documentaries, rich in footage and testimonials, on a century and more of American cinema: a compelling account of the greatest and most dazzling industry of dreams.
The films of two immense masters of the history of cinema offered at Giunti Odeon in splendid and extremely rare restored versions. We start with the 34 comedies interpreted and shot by Charlie Chaplin for the Keystone Company between 2 February and 7 December 1914. In less than twelve months Chaplin went from being an almost unknown vaudeville actor to a film star. He learnt to conceive, direct and edit his own films: just one year of whirlwind activity and a world taking shape, a character gradually taking possession of his own suit, a filmmaker conquering his place in front of and behind the camera. The Keystone comedies record, in real time, and with a dynamism, vitality and energy that are unrepeatable, the birth and evolution of one of the 20th century's most universal characters. It continues with three overwhelming masterpieces by Buster Keaton: ‘Cops’ (1922), ‘The High Sign’ (1921), ‘Neighbours’ (1921).
A book that analyzes the concept of the "gang" in modern society, highlighting how it shapes young people, fosters conformity, loneliness, and violence, and reflects the dynamics of the digital world. Silvio Ciappi will present his book Il branco (Giunti Psicologia.io) in conversation with artist Tommaso Daliana, known as Tommy Dali.
The Book:
Welcome to the age of the pack. But what is the pack? And why does it speak to today’s youth? The pack is also the new dimension of contemporary society—a horizontal world that demands happiness and success, conformity, and compliance, where even violence and pain are turned into spectacle. The pack desires what others already desire and counts: likes, connections, achievements. It watches, types, and urges individuals to correct themselves, to adjust their image within the emptiness of the digital realm. The pack fuels loneliness and violent behavior, forming the foundation of senseless, cynical violence that erupts without apparent cause, often hiding behind the face of the good boy next door. It is the union of enraged and disillusioned beings who feel the weight of social failure, inadequacy, boredom, and shame. Is there a way out of all this?
