End Game. La fine del gioco
Will Robie e Jessica Reel sono due degli agenti più letali al mondo. Il governo si affida a loro quando è necessaria la massima segretezza per eliminare chi trama violenza e distruzione di massa contro gli Stati Uniti. E in ogni missione, un uomo li ha sempre sostenuti: il loro supervisore, nome in codice, Uomo in Blu. Ma non questa volta. Avvistato per l’ultima volta nelle campagne del Colorado, si era preso una rara vacanza per andare a pescare nella sua città natale, quando è sparito dalla circolazione. Inviati a indagare, Robie e Reel arrivano a Grand, una cittadina dall’economia locale stagnante e dalle forze dell’ordine talmente sottorganico da aver reso questa piccola comunità una calamita per la criminalità organizzata e un numero crescente di gruppi militanti marginali. Ma a Grand è in agguato una minaccia ancora più insidiosa e terrificante, che potrebbe scuotere il cuore dell’America. E quando si troveranno ad affrontare un avversario con una potenza di fuoco superiore e il vantaggio di giocare in casa, Robie e Reel saranno già fortunati se riusciranno a uscirne vivi, con o senza l’Uomo in Blu...
Contemporary Italian Filmmaking

Contemporary Italian Filmmaking is an innovative critique of Italian filmmaking in the aftermath of World War II - as it moves beyond traditional categories such as genre film and auteur cinema. Manuela Gieri demonstrates that Luigi Pirandello's revolutionary concept of humour was integral to the development of a counter-tradition in Italian filmmaking that she defines `humoristic'. She delineates a `Pirandellian genealogy' in Italian cinema, literature, and culture through her examination of the works of Federico Fellini, Ettore Scola, and many directors of the `new generation, ' such as Nanni Moretti, Gabriele Salvatores, Maurizio Nichetti, and Giuseppe Tornatore. A celebrated figure of the theatrical world, Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) is little known beyond Italy for his critical and theoretical writings on cinema and for his screenplays. Gieri brings to her reading of Pirandello's work the critical parameters offered by psychoanalysis, poststructuralism, and postmodernism to develop a syncretic and transcultural vision of the history of Italian cinema. She identifies two fundamental trends of development in this tradition: the `melodramatic imagination' and the `humoristic, ' or comic, imagination. With her focus on the humoristic imagination, Gieri describes a `Pirandellian mode' derived from his revolutionary utterances on the cinema and narrative, and specifically, from his essay on humour, L'umorismo (On Humour, 1908). She traces a history of the Pirandellian mode in cinema and investigates its characteristics, demonstrating the original nature of Italian filmmaking that is particularly indebted to Pirandello's interpretation of humour.
