But Cursed would not become a classic. Instead, it would go down in history as one of the most troubled film productions of the 21st century. How and why did this happen? Is the resulting movie any good? Do Jesse Eisenberg and Milo Ventimiglia kiss in it? Find out the answers to all of these questions and more in my CURSED deep dive into CURSED.More...

2023-03-23While much of the world struggles to keep the planet going, a frighteningly large group of American fundamentalist Christians are working to promote the apocalypse. The evangelical movement is convinced that they will be saved when Jesus appears in the state of Israel on horseback and, with a sword raised to heaven, kills the infidels so that the blood reaches the horses’ bridles. Natural fires, corona, wars and crises are evidence that the time is nigh. But for the prophecies to be realized, the state of Israel has to grow stronger, so they provide huge financial support and are so far inside the White House that they help influence US foreign policy.Rok stalinské epochy

The documentary features interviews with art historian Sister Wendy Beckett and Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum.Inchiodato

2010-03-17Cruelty, psychological and sexual violence, humiliations: reality television seems to have gone mad. His debut in the early 2000s inaugurated a new era in the history of the audio-visual. Fifty years of archives trace the evolution of entertainment: how the staging of intimacy during the 80s opened new territories, how the privatization of the biggest channels has changed the relationship with the spectator. With the contribution of specialists, including philosopher Bernard Stiegler, this documentary demonstrates how emotion has made way for the exacerbation of the most destructive impulses.Words From Home
