The events of this movie take place in the concluding stages of World War One, depicting how the reality of war demoralizes soldiers through the tale of a young German soldier. Simultaneously, we follow the journey of a diplomat who attempts to stop the mayhem and rescue some lives along the way.

Paul Bäumer and his friends are eager to fight on the front lines, seize French territory, and triumphantly head back home. Sadly, once Paul finds himself inside a trench, unprepared and wearing another soldier’s outfit, things get worse.

On the website Rotten Tomatoes it has an average rating of 8.1/10. The website’s consensus reads, “Both timely and timeless… retains the power of its classic source material by focusing on the futility of war.” and also “An outstanding update to an all-time classic, All Quiet on the Western Front puts you right there on the battlefield — and reminds you once again that war is truly hell”.

Mark James Kermode, the chief film critic for The Observer, says it is “visually very, very impressive, overwhelming, and grueling.” “It is harrowing of course … and it should be.”

The post “ELVIS” ROCKS ‘CAPRI HOLLYWOOD FEST WITH EIGHT AWARDS INCLUDING BEST PICTURE AND BEST DIRECTOR first appeared on Capri Film Festival.

Jerry Calà tells “Capri, Hollywood,” which presents him with a lifetime achievement award on Dec. 30.

“I have already made inspections in Monte di Procida, which is an extraordinary place, but I will also set the story in Ischia because I want people to return to this beautiful island as a place of cinema, famous for it since the 1960s. At the center of the story will be the kidnapping of a star, I cannot say more, it will be with a Neapolitan production company and with Neapolitan actors.”

He was the face of the 1980s, a decade for which people are beginning to feel nostalgia, not only in the movies. “A lot,” says the actor, “Even today’s kids like those movies because it’s clear that we had a lot more fun back then, there was more enthusiasm. We can consider them as sharp photographs of those years, from the boors of Christmas Vacation to the upstarts of Yuppis. Today economic conditions have changed: a boy could no longer ‘move out on his own’ especially with the prices in Milan! And anyway, if they stay at home, I don’t think it’s the fault of what they call bamboccioni, but of over-protective parents.”

In Capri, a career that started with the success of Gatti di Vicolo Miracoli, passed through iconic comedies but also a more committed cinema, will also be told in music. “I worked with Marco Ferreri, in Diary of a Vice, earning me the Italian critics’ prize in Berlin. Too bad then that we were not able to make a second project together again. Then with Avati, Marco Risi, understood that I could also do something else. Let’s say, however, that my comic side got the upper hand, and the audience then you have to respect it. I still do more than a hundred nights a year and play Maracaibo. But I’m a 70-year-old who is still young. And ready for other roles as well!”.

The post GRAZIANO SCARABICCHI AND MAX GIGLIUCCI RECEIVED 2022 CAPRI PEOPLE AWARD first appeared on Capri Film Festival.

The award intended for artistic excellence between theater and cinema was given by the board of the Capri in the World Institute “to two protagonists of the season, Mastelloni whose partnership with Patroni Griffi wrote in the 1970s and 1980s pages of theater history, and who 50 years after his debut is back on the big screen with Pupi Avati’s Dante’ – reads the motivation – and to Tommaso Ragno, a great Italian talent between stage, film, and series also international, in the extraordinary cast of Mario Martone’s Nostalgia with the unforgettable role of Malommo.”

The golden roll of the award is named after the playwright and director also Ben Gazzara, Roberto Andò, Michael Radford, Mario Martone, Massimo Ranieri, and Michele Placido. And still in the sign of Dante (in the film Mastelloni is Pope Boniface VIII), the exhibition “In Dante’s Clothes,” the latest work by costume designer Andrea Sorrentino made for Pupi Avati, opens tomorrow at the Certosa di San Giacomo. On display will be 10 of the most important costumes and hairstyles recreated both through the study of literary and iconographic sources and through creative dialogue with the director. The exhibition guides the viewer to discover, through sketches, set photos, costumes, and hairstyles, the process through which the costume designer builds to the characterization of the character, which for Sorrentino always includes makeup and hair design.
