Story
No art form is as instantly and continuously gratifying as film. When the houselights go down and the lion roars, we settle in to be shocked, frightened, elated, moved, and thrilled. We expect magic. While we're being exhilarated and terrified, our minds are also processing data of all sorts - visual, linguistic, auditory, spatial - to collaborate in the construction of meaning. Thomas C. Foster's Reading the Silver Screen will show movie buffs, students of film, and even aspiring screenwriters and directors how to become accomplished readers of this great medium.

Story
La guida in audio al capolavoro di Giuseppe De Santis! "Riso amaro" è un capolavoro del neorealismo italiano del dopoguerra. Racconta una storia d'amore dai risvolti oscuri, apparentemente semplice. Una trama lineare fatta di tradimenti, sensualità e lavoro, che però traduce su pellicola molti temi importanti: come la donna eroina, che lotta al pari di un uomo ed è disposta a tutto pur di ottenere quello che vuole, un esempio di grande spregiudicatezza e sensualità nella figura di Silvana Mangano.

Story
Il film di Germi del 1962 dipinge un'Italia e una Sicilia molto reali, immerse nella povertà del Dopoguerra. Il Barone interpretato da un grande Mastroianni è una delle figure più controverse e brillanti tra gli omicidi della storia del cinema e, allo stesso, tempo uno dei più pasticcioni. Si potrebbe dire che riesce nei suoi intenti nonostante se stesso!

Story
Una trentina d'anni fa negli Stati Uniti si scopriva che spingendo una DeLorean a 88 miglia orarie, senza dimenticare di azionare il flusso canalizzatore, si poteva coronare un vecchio sogno dell'uomo mai tramontato, quello del viaggio nel tempo. Il 3 luglio 1985 era infatti arrivato nelle sale americane il primo capitolo della saga Back to the Future, una delle trilogie cinematografiche più amate degli ultimi anni.

Ombre Rosse rappresenta nella storia del cinema l'esempio più noto del western classico, in cui si ritrovano tutti gli elementi fondamentali del genere: dai grandi spazi (la Monument Valley viene resa leggendaria proprio da questo film) al tema del viaggio, dal clima di minaccia incombente per la presenza degli indiani all'intervento della cavalleria, dall'eroe ingiustamente accusato che supera una prova impossibile alla punizione dei colpevoli.

Quarto Potere è il capolavoro del regista americano Orson Welles. Il film è una riflessione sul potere nella società capitalistica americana e, in par-ticolare, sul potere svolto dalla stampa e dell'informazione incarnato nella pelli-cola dal magnate Kane. Il titolo originale infatti è Citizen Kane, che fa esplicito riferimento all'ingombrante figura del protagonista, il magnate dell'editoria poi approdato in politica Charles Foster Kane, interpretato dallo stesso Welles nelle diverse stagioni della sua vita.
