In Gandolfini, critic and historian Jason Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played. Gandolfini’s roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn’t until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen.

Il 1963 è stato l’anno di Fellini e di Visconti. Un anno decisivo per il cinema italiano, che ha visto la nascita di Otto e mezzo e Il Gattopardo. Ma prima di diventare i capolavori che ben sappiamo erano due incredibili scommesse, nonché il campo di battaglia tra due artisti rivali e profondamente diversi: mentre Claudia Cardinale cambiava il colore dei capelli secondo il capriccio di chi la dirigeva, l’intero contesto culturale italiano si stava preparando a sposare l’una o l’altra visione del cinema e del mondo.

When a major Hollywood studio released Five Fingers of Death to thrill-seeking Times Square moviegoers on March 21, 1973, only a handful of Black and Asian American audience members knew the difference between an Iron Fist and an Eagle's Claw. That changed overnight as kung fu movies kicked off a craze that would earn millions at the box office, send TV ratings soaring, sell hundreds of thousands of video tapes, influence the birth of hip hop, reshape the style of action we see in movies today, and introduce America to some of the biggest non-White stars.

Women have been instrumental in the success of American cinema since its very beginning.
