Plot summary
The gripping and thought-provoking new documentary from Academy Award® winner Kevin Macdonald (Whitney, Marley), High & Low: John Galliano tells the rise-and-fall story of influential and controversial fashion designer John Galliano. Galliano dressed some of the most beautiful and prominent men and women in the world for almost 15 years at Givenchy and Dior, and was widely recognized as one of the most successful fashion designers of the 1990s and 2000s. However, his career abruptly ended when he was caught on camera in 2011 hurling antisemitic and racist insults at bystanders outside Paris's Café La Perle. Macdonald's compelling documentary traces Galliano's career from fashion student at Central Saint Martins to creative director of some of the world's largest fashion houses, candidly investigating his struggles with addiction and the industry pressure he faced along the way. Showcasing archive footage of the breathtaking haute couture and high-fashion runways of the period, this nuanced look at Galliano confronts the toxic work culture behind-the-scenes of the fashion industry. Featuring conversations with Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Penélope Cruz, Charlize Theron, Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful and more.

Whitney
From Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald ("Munich, 1972: One Day in September"), this documentary is essential for music fans. Selected for the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, "Whitney" explores the singer's career through never-before-seen footage, recordings, and a cappella performances. The documentary also features interviews with ex-partner Bobby Brown and co-star Kevin Costner from "The Bodyguard." To find out more about the person behind the myth.
State of Play
One of the most exciting political thrillers of the 2010s, 'State of Play' has all the formulas of the genre. As the name itself suggests, there are plenty of intrigues, constant pursuits and a script that is complex yet simpler than it seems. However, it's hard not to feel like getting up from the couch at some moments, especially due to the top-notch performance of a cast featuring names such as Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, Viola Davis, Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright and Jason Bateman. An essential late night blockbuster for those who enjoy investigations, espionage and good action movies.
Life in a Day 2020
Sequel to the feature film released in 2011, 'Life in a Day 2020' seeks to bring snippets of everyday life and reality. To do this, director Kevin Macdonald assembles a mosaic of videos made by people on July 25th, 2020. People like you and me, ordinary people, showing what they did on that specific day. Thus, 'Life in a Day 2020' is both moving and exciting, becoming a window into the world in a year when the new coronavirus pandemic has taken hold of people's minds and hearts. The most interesting thing, however, lies in the complexity of themes that arise throughout the 90 minutes: there are marriage proposals, breakups, moments of mourning, joy, cute animals, people facing the pandemic and more. It's too beautiful. It's as if the universe gave us the chance to look a little bit at what life is out there.
The Mauritanian
'The Mauritanian' is an intense political thriller, based on a true story, about a prisoner convicted of a crime and thrown into the American prison of Guantanamo, considered one of the worst in the world, without the right to trial, evidence or even a concrete case against him. Two lawyers then decide to represent him and, little by little, unravel the truths behind his conviction, and the absurdities and atrocities committed by the American government in the name of a patriotic and nationalist feeling of finding a culprit, of putting a “name to the bulls” and having a scapegoat to blame for a terrifying crime. The movie is not about the convict being innocent, but about the right to defense and equal judgement before the law that everyone deserves, justice must be impartial and transparent so that there are no judgments based on hatred and personal retaliation.
