Aneddoti, curiosità, segreti e retroscena di una delle commedie più famose, rappresentative e ironicamente dissacranti del cinema italiano. Con la prefazione di Max Tortora. La voce narrante è quella di Giorgio Gobbi, l'immortale "Ricciotto", l'aiutante del "sor marchese" nell'orchestrare scherzi e tiri mancini nella Roma ottocentesca insidiata dall'avanzare delle truppe napoleoniche. Ed è una voce ironica, a volte velata di malinconia, quella che racconta la genesi, i dietro le quinte, le vicissitudini che caratterizzarono il set de "Il marchese del Grillo".

Una serie TV può cambiare la percezione di intere nazioni su tematiche sociali, scientifiche, politiche, relazionali, dando voce a persone che nella nostra società sono ancora invisibili, a cui non viene mai data la parola. Il merito di Marina Pierri è la capacità di mettere insieme mondi che fanno fatica a parlarsi: quello del femminismo intersezionale e quello della psicologia del profondo. In "Eroine", Marina Pierri prende il testimone da una vasta letteratura filosofica, cinematografica e psicologica, e compie un'operazione ancora inedita.

Il cinema è da sempre il mezzo di comunicazione più audace e irriverente, sa sfidare la società e misurarne i limiti. Tra gli anni Trenta e il 1968, l'anno in cui tutto cambia, il cinema, sia in Italia che a Hollywood, non esita ad affrontare temi considerati tabù - l'adulterio, il sesso, l'omosessualità - con uno sguardo disincantato e provocatorio. Dalla censura imposta agli Studios al fascino dirompente di Brigitte Bardot e Sophia Loren, dalla retorica di epoca fascista a Tinto Brass e Pasolini, fino alle polemiche dei giorni nostri riguardo al movimento #MeToo.

Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, a classic film noir and also a damning dissection of the Hollywood dream factory, evokes the glamour and ruin of the stars who subsist on that dream. It’s also one long in-joke about the movie industry and those who made it great - and who were, in turn, destroyed by it. One of the most critically admired films of the 20th century, Sunset Boulevard is also famous as silent-star Gloria Swanson’s comeback picture.

Despite increasing corporate mergers and bottom-line thinking, the entertainment business will never function like a bank or an insurance company because it is an industry rooted in imagination. Rules are meant to be broken. The best work is often produced in an environment where plans change by the minute and nothing seems to make sense. To wit, those who choose this profession must alter preconceived notions of work itself, sometimes discovering that fantasy and horror describe both movie genres and life on the job.
