#SUMMERTIFF - CINEMA WITH A VIEW 2019

In a cheap Parisian hotel room, Oscar Wilde lies on his deathbed, lost in a vortex of memories. Was he once the most famous man in London? As the former dandy writes the last chapter of his life, he tries to reconcile with the people who worshipped and crucified him. The work of a lifetime by Rupert Everett – who directed, wrote, and stars in this sensual portrait of the artist who established aestheticism – is a love letter to one of the greatest figures in the history of human intellect, but also to those in the gutter who keep looking at the stars.

An old married couple enjoys their second honeymoon when they set off for a road trip in the heart of America on an old VR with the name “Leisure Seeker,” to escape a medical care that would keep them apart forever. An alternative cinematic treatment for the burden of body and soul, which proves that a man can experience surprises in every route, even if he considers that he can see the very end of it.

The life of an overanxious young director searching for success is further complicated when he is forced to raise money for a movie screenplay he detests.

In the dark suburbs of an undefined Italian city, a humble poor devil who makes a living as a dog caretaker and seems to communicate with animals better than he does with humans, gets involved in a vicious circle of violence. The project kept in the drawer of Gomorra’s creator for more than 12 years is a relentless operatic work about the banality of evil and the inner conflict of a man that became a scapegoat and an offender, a martyr and a perpetrator.

Guilty secrets that remained buried deep in the jungle rise to the surface through the research of a young linguist who seeks after the last traces of a dying language. He approaches two elderly peasants who speak this language, but he sadly realizes that the two of them haven’t exchanged a single word in the last 50 years. What is the right moment to find redemption? Where is this this exotic place where it is said that real love long lives? And is the language of the people in love destined to remain untranslatable today?
