Tenet di C. Nolan - Supereroe alla 007 in un mondo fantascientifico: un gioco di specchi temporale che si rivela solo fine a se stesso Sono vogliosamente tornato al cinema dopo mesi di astinenza a vedere il primo film post Covid: quale a...

Non c'è fine agli effetti collaterali del capitalismo post-moderno. Quando andrà in pensione, signor Loach, sicuramente ci mancherà Director Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty have come storming back to Cannes with another tactlessl...
