Roberta Spagnuolo

A.C.A.B., 1940'larda Birleşik Krallık madencilerinin grevleri sırasında kullanılmış ilk kez. Kısaltma olarak kullanılan şifrenin anlamı sorulduğunda grevciler, Always Carry A Bible (Daima Kutsal Kitabı Taşı) olduğunu söylemişler. Filmde olaylar üç çevik kuvvet polisi (İtalyanlar hızlı polis diyor) etrafında dönüyor ve kendilerini şiddet dolu bir dünyaya orantılı/orantısız tepki verirken görüyoruz. Nefretin ve ümitsizliğin hâkim olduğu bir toplumda, agresyon ölçüsünü yitirirken polisimiz ifade vermek zorunda kaldığında davranışlarına bir şekilde mazeret bulmaya çalışıyor. Otoritesini korku ve kaba kuvvetle resmen empoze etmekte beis görmeyen günümüz devlet ve güvenlik kuvvetlerinin sinsi tavrı göz önüne alınırsa A.C.A.B.'nin dünyada ve Türkiye'de örnekleri bolca görülen polisi sempatik gösterme propagandası girişimlerinden mi, yoksa politik doğruluk konusunda bize ders verebilecek bir eser mi olduğunu bütün filmi görünce anlayacağız.

The 1978 kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro, president of the most important political party in Italy at the time, Democrazia Cristiana, as seen from the perspective of one of his assailants -- a conflicted young woman in the ranks of the Red Brigade.

Three men have been friends since childhood. To win a prize, they steal something from a girl. The girl is not what she seems. Things go downhill for the friends. On a weekend get-away, secrets are revealed, and people end up dead.

Maria married an honest worker at a very young age, works as a part-time beautician and has three children. Her life is like many others in the working-class suburbs of Naples, where the daily struggle to make ends meet makes you get used to everything. When her husband is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Maria accepts the help of Gennaro, a rich owner of a car dealership. She lets him court her until she becomes his lover. One day he suggests that she become a business partner: he will transport a load of cocaine to Switzerland. Once she becomes a widow, her relationship with Gennaro will make her fall into a criminal vortex, which will finally allow her to experience new possibilities and fulfill old dreams. But the path chosen by Maria for her personal revenge will leave its inevitable victims in its wake, just like in a war that does not look anyone in the face.

Giuseppe M. Gaudino made his directorial debut with this experimental film portrait contrasting the ancient Roman empire with poverty in present-day Naples. The film's narrator introduces the ancient town of Pozzuloi, home to Nero, his mother Agrippina, the Sibyl of Cumae, and Christian martyr Artema. This historical drama is intertwined with a modern-day story of a poverty-stricken family, forced by earthquakes during the '70s to move to the country, a devastating blow to the close-knit family. After a 1997 Venice Film Festival screening at 125 minutes, the filmmakers announced their plans to re-edit to a shorter running time. Also known as Moonspins Between Land and Sea.

In a Roman suburb, 14-year-old Martina, a child prostitute, navigates life with her father’s unacknowledged paternity, her mother’s profession, and a younger sister. She forms bonds with a slightly older boy, Sciu, and a fellow petty criminal. However, their lives take a turn when a young police officer becomes interested in protecting them from her superiors. When Martina refuses to become a police informant, tensions escalate, threatening to disrupt their fragile alliance.
