| Palo Alto
|
(2013 Gia Coppola)
An unflinching portrait of adolescent lust, boredom, and self-destruction, "Palo Alto" is an astonishing debut from writer-director Gia Coppola, the latest addition to the legendary Coppola filmmaking dynasty.
The lives of four Californian teens are explored through the dreamy state of youthful recklessness. Amidst the insecurities and fears of wasted youth, April (Emma Roberts) and Teddy (Jack Kilmer) struggle to acknowledge their mutual affection, whilst Teddy's best friend Fred (Nat Wolff) begins his volatile spiral into adolescent chaos. "Palo Alto" perfectly encapsulates suburban youth standing on the cusp of adulthood.

One of the most emotional film experiences of any era, C T Dreyer's 1928 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' is a miracle of the cinema, an enigmatic and profoundly moving work that merges the worlds of the viewer and of saintly loan herself into one shared experience of hushed delirium.

| Patton

(1970 Franklin J Schaffner) 30:-
svensk titel: Patton - Pansargeneralen
A critically acclaimed film that won a total of eight 1970 Academy Awards (including Best Picture), 'Patton' is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses.
One of its Oscars went to George C.
Scott for this triumphant portrayal of George Patton, the only Allied general truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmaneuvered Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was as rebellious as well as brilliant, and as 'Patton' shows with insight and poignancy, his own volatile personality was one enemy he could never defeat.
