Power, pathos and the cinema. The selection of films for this ninth edition of “Tuesday at the Movies with Palazzo Strozzi” looks at the different artistic pathways that marked the ways in which the 20th century revisited the myths and legends of Classical civilisation, a “model” to which moviemakers turned as a source of inspiration for building major epic tales but also as a prompt to reflect on the numerous inconsistencies of the modern world. From Pasolini’s poetic exploration of the origins of civilisation to Fellini’s grand frescoes, and from Kubrick’s disturbing take on history to the powerfully ideological spectacularity of contemporary Hollywood productions, the retrospective takes cinemagoers on an adventurous ride through spell-binding stories, images, sounds and vision.
