On Mondays on TV there are not only talk shows and reality shows, but also many films. Among the films we would like to highlight is L’ultima notte di Amore, a noir premiered by Pierfrancesco Favino.
If you love Italian cinema, we think you should also check out Predators, Pietro Castellitto’s first feature (while waiting to see his second feature, Aenea, in cinemas in the next few months).
And again: “The Emperor’s Club” with Kevin Kline and Emile Hirsch and “Two Paths of Fate” with Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman.

It is always early in the morning when, a few days later, the young philosophy assistant is excluded from the group organized to exhume Nietzsche’s body. Two grievances were suffered, two clearly distant and different families: Pavone and Vismara. The first is bourgeois and intellectual, the second is proletarian and fascist. Both move to Rome, which seems like a jungle, and an accident causes their realities to collide.
