Today’s program
Blonde
One of the most anticipated films of the year will be presented today at the Lido. Based on the successful novel by Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde boldly retraces the life of one of Hollywood’s timeless icons, Marilyn Monroe. From her precarious childhood as Norma Jeane, to her rise to fame and her emotional entanglements, Blonde blurs the lines between reality and fiction to explore the growing divide between her public and private self. The Cuban actress plays the Hollywood diva Ana de Armas.
Drought
It hasn’t rained in Rome for three years and the lack of water changes rules and habits. In the city that is dying of thirst and prohibitions, a chorus of characters moves, young and old, marginalized and successful, victims and profiteers. Their lives are linked in a single design, while each seeks their own redemption. The film is directed by Paolo Virzì and includes in the cast great names of Italian cinema such as Monica Bellucci, Claudia Pandolfi, Valerio Mastandrea And Silvio Orlando.
