Lascia perdere, Johnny! / 20076.414 voti

Caserta, seconda metà degli anni '70. Il maestro d'orchestra - nonché bidello - Domenico Falasco, è autore di una singolare teoria che confida con sapienza a uno dei suoi giovani più promettenti, il diciottenne Faustino, in attesa di un contratto di lavoro per evitare la chiamata di leva. Più che teoria, in realtà, si tratta di un bizzarro consiglio: far valere il proprio talento e accettare solo "serate" nei luoghi di mare, perché è là che vanno davvero i bravi musicisti. Il giovane Faustino, però, continua a essere il tuttofare di Raffaele Niro, un impresario poco affidabile che un giorno torna nella sua Caserta con un ingaggio davvero straordinario: il famoso maestro Augusto Riverberi, eccezionale pianista ed ex amante di Ornella Vanoni, arriverà in città per esibirsi con la sua "piccola orchestra" di trenta elementi. Per il giovane talento, orfano di padre, è il momento di far sul serio.

Photographer Wang Jiu-liang travels to more than 500 landfills, fearlessly documenting Beijing's unholy cycle of consumption through poignant observational visits with the scavengers who live and work in the dumps.

A Waste of Space / 2020

Osher, Michelle and Eitan were evicted from their homes as children and transferred to foster care. These are supportive and stable families, but with a specified expiration date - when the boy / girl turns 18. The biological families are in a state of dysfunction and are absent. The film accompanies the three towards the end of the last year as part of the foster care and the first year of independence. The personal relationship that develops between them provides them with a supportive, stable and shaky framework at the same time, similar to that between the drowning person and the straw. Without the protective patronage of the foster care framework that has loosened or expired completely, they are exposed and swayed to the wind when past traumas burned into their minds may erupt and crush at once what has been built, or seemed to have been built, with much toil and torment.
