18 October 2019After The theory of everything, the couple Eddie Redmayne reunites - Felicity Jones, with a stronger accent this time on the female character, Amelia Wren, who in 1862 left for an incredible journey in a hot-air balloon with the meterologist James Glaisher: the result is The Aeronauts, by Tom Harper, here in the Official Selection, which gives the thrill of the ups and downs at high altitude and the certainty of a solid commercial film for the general public.

Ron Howard presents his documentary on Pavarotti, after the one on the Beatles, made with unpublished videos and rare interviews made available by the family. The greatness, the charisma, the great humanity and honesty of a unique character emerge. Not the classic film with repertoire already seen, but a treasure chest from another era.

The afternoon meeting with the public, the second close encounter is with Ed Norton, who yesterday opened the party, speaking at a conference of Trump and the political depth given to his neo noir Motherless Brooklyn, and which today will tell his favorite movies and his models also in Italian cinema.
