Free movie ticket for the first ten readers who bring this page to the Astoria multiplex box office today starting at 6:30 p.m. For those who missed them, three films that have already been shown in recent days, as well as a new film, are available.

Let’s start with the last one, “Say It Like a Woman”, a co-production between Italy and the USA with choral direction: the film – directors Silvia Carobbio, Catherine Hardwicke, Taraji P. Henson, Meepo O, Lucia Puenso, Maria Sole Tognazzi, Lina Yadav – consists of seven stories, all with female protagonists living in different parts of the world, from Italy to Japan, from India to the USA. Although each of them is different from the others, they all have one thing in common: they have to face a difficult challenge in their lives. This moment of confrontation with oneself deserves to be overcome decisively and courageously, making it even stronger and, above all, becoming more self-aware. The film’s cast included Cara Delevingne, Eva Longoria and Margarita Bai.

So, confirmed films. Let’s start with the film of the year, Oppenheimer, by Christopher Nolan. The story it tells is set in the 1940s and focuses on the historical figure of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy, considered the father of the atomic bomb. In 1942, at the height of World War II, convinced that Nazi Germany was developing nuclear weapons, the United States began the Manhattan Project in great secrecy to develop the first atomic bomb in history. The American government decides to entrust the project to the brilliant physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Born in New York in 1904 to a family of German and Jewish descent, the scientist at just under forty years old had already made major contributions to the development of modern physics. Thus, in the top-secret laboratories of Los Alamos, in the New Mexico desert, Oppenheimer and his team of experts begin to develop a revolutionary weapon, the terrible consequences of which, once used against Japan, will be felt to this day.

Maiwenn’s period film Joan du Barry – The King’s Favorite, starring a tormented Johnny Depp as King Louis XV, has been confirmed for release in cinemas. The plot centers on the life of Jeanne Vaubernier (played by the director himself), the illegitimate daughter of a poor seamstress who, despite her modest fortune, is endowed with enormous charm and intelligence – qualities that will bring her the favor of the king. She will become his official mistress and receive the title of Countess du Barry. The love story between them will cause a real scandal. The film opened the Cannes Film Festival.

Finally, The Order of Time by Liliana Cavani, which just won the Award of Excellence at the Venice International Film Festival, remains on the program: her work tells the story of a group of friends who get together every year to celebrate a birthday. one of them. While celebrating, the group learns terrible news: the world as we know it could collapse in a matter of hours. The period of time between them and the apocalypse seems to pass in different ways, sometimes quickly and sometimes forever, as a group of friends face their final hours on a summer night that will change their lives forever.
