LA NOTTE DEL 12 – un grande noir femminista di Dominik Moll – Cannes 2022

Posted on by cinedetour

In the corridors of the criminal police, it is said that all the investigators have a crime that haunts them. One day or another, they come across a case hurting them more than the others, without always knowing why. It starts spinning in their heads to the point of obsession. Young and ambitious Captain Vivés has just been appointed group leader at the Grenoble Criminal Squad when Clara’s murder case lands on his desk. Vivés and his team investigate Clara’s complex life and relations, but what starts as a professional and methodical immersion into the victim’s life soon turns into a haunting obsession.

Posted on by cinedetour

Along a polluted waterway near Shanghai, Mardar (Jia Hongsheng) rides his motorcycle each day, transporting Moudan (Zhou Xun), the teenage daughter of a local criminal. Despite his secret love for the young girl, he gets caught up in a scheme to kidnap her and hold her for ransom. The plan goes awry, however, and Moudan throws herself into the river and drowns. Mardar emerges from prison years later and encounters a nightclub entertainer who looks exactly like his lost love.
A strong but gentle film about identity, neediness, and desire, as well as our ability to re-invent the world to suit ourselves.

MIRACLE – STORIA DI DESTINI INCROCIATI

Posted on by cinedetour

Divided into two chapters, director Bogdan George Apetri’s MIRACLE begins with the young, beautiful Cristina Tofan (Ioana Bugarin) sneaking away from an isolated convent. Working in the style of the Romanian New Wave, Apetri withholds key information about her motives as we follow her enigmatic journey, allowing tension to steadily build to a wavering precipice. The film’s second part follows Marius Preda (Emanuel Pârvu), a determined inspector retracing Cristina’s steps days after her departure. Here, the narrative opens into both gripping police thriller and devastating social commentary, as Marius gradually uncovers clues and revelations leading not only to the unfathomable truth behind Cristina’s mysterious actions, but possibly, to an actual miracle as well.

25 ANNI DI DETOUR… E ORA CERCHIAMO CASA!

Posted on by cinedetour

Il mese di novembre segna 25 anni esatti di presenza e attività continuativa del Cine Detour nel rione Monti, prima nel leggendario covo “clandestino” al civico 47 della via, poi in un’originale coabitazione con la bottega equosolidale, infine nella saletta amichevole e accogliente che molte e molti di voi hanno bazzicato negli ultimi anni.

In questo tempo abbiamo alimentato l’immaginario di due o tre generazioni di spettatrici e spettatori e riempito un vuoto di proposta culturale nel centro cittadino, proponendo cinema indipendente di qualità in lingua originale, festival, arti visive, musica dal vivo, teatro, formazione ai linguaggi audiovisivi, didattica del cinema a tanto tanto altro ancora. Lo abbiamo fatto sempre a modo nostro, con passione, creatività e spirito di condivisione, sempre senza spocchia ma fieri della nostra indipendenza, senza tappeti rossi e celebrità da ostentare, ma con tante vere amiche e veri amici che ci hanno dimostrato la loro stima nel corso degli anni. 

A chi tra voi ci accompagna con più assiduità l’annuncio della prossima chiusura potrà non giungere inaspettato. Ad aprire la breccia, come immaginerete, più di un anno e mezzo di emergenza covid, con ripercussioni disastrose sulle disponibilità finanziarie già limitate dell’associazione.
