Il giovane tipografo Mario si trasferisce nel quartiere di Santa Croce, in via del Corno, per stare più vicino alla sua innamorata, Bianca, diventando così a sua volta un "cornacchiaio" e ritrovandosi a condividere le vicende quotidiane degli abitanti di quel piccolo mondo popolare negli anni foschi dell'ascesa del fascismo.

The film follows Chloe, a Canadian obstetrician transplanted to a West Bank clinic. While Chloe works with patients with high-risk pregnancies, she encounters all of the glorious absurdities of war.

Glamorous leading man turned idiosyncratic auteur Cornel Wilde created in the sixties and seventies a handful of gritty, violent explorations of the nature of man, none more memorable than The Naked Prey. In the early nineteenth century, after an ivory-hunting safari offends an African tribe, the colonialists are captured and hideously tortured. Only Wilde’s marksman is released, without clothes or weapons, to be hunted for sport, and he embarks on a harrowing journey through savanna and jungle, back to a primitive state. Distinguished by vivid widescreen camera work and the unflinching depiction of savagery, The Naked Prey is both a propulsive, stripped-to-the-bone narrative and a meditation on the notion of civilization.

Delusional revolutionary Malcolm Scrawdyke (a mesmerising John Hurt) leads his Party of Dynamic Erection - Wick (John McEnery), Irwin (Raymond Platt) and Nipple (David Warner) - in an enraged battle against an unseen nemesis in this chilling dark comedy.

It won the Silver Bear at the 1974 Berlin Film Festival.

After the phenomenal box office success of Cape No. 7, it sure didn't take long for leads Van Fan and Tanaka Chie to be starring in the same movie again, albeit not exactly opposite each other, because L-O-V-E. is an anthology of four short films by directors Chen Yi-xian, Vincent Fang, Huang Tzi-chiao, and Jiu Ba Dao, who each were at the helm of their own stories, delivering their own brand of what it means to be in love.

Ingrid (Christina Lindberg), a Swedish girl, goes to Japan to deliver a package, and while there she also plans to stay a while to experience something other than the boring country she comes from. As she arrives, she accidently enters the wrong car.
