Cronaca di una morte annunciata/Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Film 1987-ENG SUB)
Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Italian: Cronaca di una morte annunciata, Spanish: Crónica de una muerte anunciada) is a drama film directed by Francesco Rosi. Audio in Italian with English subtitles.
The film was adapted by Tonino Guerra from the eponymous novella by the Colombian Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez. It tells, in the form of a pseudo-journalistic reconstruction, the story of the murder of Santiago Nasar by the Vicario twins. It stars Rupert Everett, Ornella Muti, Anthony Delon, Gian Maria Volonté and Irene Papas. The film premiered at Cannes film festival in May 1987.
While many of the actors are unknown to American audiences, Chronicle of a Death Foretold has a cast of international European stars: the film displays the talent of the veterans Irene Papas and Gian Maria Volonté. However, the casting was notable for its use of upcoming young European actors: Ornella Muti, as the beautiful and mysterious Angela Vicario who motivates the drama, Anthony Delon (son of Alain Delon) as the man she blames, and Rupert Everett.

Ornella Muti ... Angela Vicario
Rupert Everett ... Bayardo San Román

For the sequence where Sméagol confronts Gollum, Peter Jackson instructed his team of animators to follow closely the on-set footage of Andy Serkis. Andy's performance of these two alternate personalities became the live-action reference that helped the Animators bring this scene to life.
In this comparison, you will be able to view Andy's original performance and how that was interpreted by the Animators in the final film.

La Piovra 2 (TV Series 1986 - Episode 1 - ENG SUB)
The second season, again having 6 episodes of 60 minutes each, was directed by Florestano Vancini. Tt was broadcast for the first time from 13 January to 20 January 1986 on Rai 1. Audio in Italian with English subtitles.
The fact that there was a second season at all was controversial, and previous director Damiano Damiani thought it was a mistake to shoot sequels so he withdrew from the project. Screenwriter Ennio De Concini had to be persuaded by producer Sergio Silva to return, and finally Florestano Vancini was hired to direct. Legendary composer Ennio Morricone joined the project and composed the soundtrack. Shooting again took place at several locations in Italy and Switzerland.
Among the interpreters: Michele Placido, Florinda Bolkan, Martin Balsam, Paul Guers, Sergio Fantoni, Renato Mori, Renato Cecchetto, Nicole Jamet, Cariddi Nardulli, François Périer, Jacques Dacqmine, Geoffrey Copleston, Daniel Ceccaldi, Lara Wendel e Dagmar Lassander.
In this season, the focus increasingly shifts to the international business dealings of the Sicilian Mafia. The emphasis is on American connections and contacts with the Italian government. The story showcases the intrigues and violent pressure of a secret society called Itala in Sicily. The first two episodes pick up the thread of the first season.
Episode 1: Corrado Cattani tries to reassure his daughter, whose stability was rocked after her Mafia kidnapping.

Danton (Film 1983-ENG SUB)
Danton is a 1983 French-Polish film depicting the last weeks of Georges Danton, one of the leaders of the French Revolution. It is an adaptation of the 1929 play The Danton Case by Stanisława Przybyszewska. Audio in French with English subtitles.
Danton takes place in the spring of 1794, almost five years after the fall of the Bastille and immediately following a period when the revolutionary government, facing internal enemies, conspirators, and the advance of foreign armies on French territory, created the Committee of Public Safety and the Revolutionary Tribunal to repress its enemies and raise additional military forces. Robespierre and Danton became the Revolution’s leading figures, and huge numbers of suspects were arrested and executed, including Marie Antoinette and the liberal-thinking Duc d’Orléans, during what became known as the Reign of Terror.
But the Revolution began to turn on itself, with Robespierre gradually gaining ascendancy over Danton and establishing dictatorial control through the tribunal and the committee. Robespierre believed that “terror is nothing other than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible,” while Danton and his faction gradually turned against the Terror and the dictatorship. Soon after the committee had eliminated the extremists under Jacques-René Hébert (an atheist and proponent of the working class), it turned on Danton and his faction, the Indulgents.
The film barely touches on these historical facts, however, except for Danton’s execution, focusing instead on the conflict between Robespierre and Danton.
The film stars Gérard Depardieu in the title role, with Wojciech Pszoniak as Maximilien Robespierre, and Patrice Chéreau as Camille Desmoulins. It was directed by the Polish director Andrzej Wajda and was an international co-production between companies in France, Poland and West Germany. All supporters of Danton (with the exception of Bourdon, who would later betray him) are played by French actors, while Robespierre's allies are played by Poles.
Principal Cast & Characters:
Gérard Depardieu as Georges Danton
Wojciech Pszoniak as Maximilien Robespierre
Patrice Chéreau as Camille Desmoulins

Emma (TV Series 1972 - Episode 1)
Emma is a six-part TV serial adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma by BBC Television that was broadcast in 1972. It was directed by John Glenister. Audio in English with English subtitles (Click on CC).
This dramatisation brings to life the wit and humour of Jane Austen's novel Emma, recreating the female character of whom she wrote "no one but myself could like."
Emma presides over the small provincial world of Highbury with enthusiasm, but she finds that it is all too easy to confuse good intentions with self-gratification. Often insensitive, well-meaning and incorrigible, having engineered the marriage of her governess, companion and friend Miss Taylor, she now turns her attention towards making a match for the local vicar Mr Elton and her new protégée Harriet Smith. Her one voice of reason and restraint is Mr Knightley, who has known her since she was a child and who watches her behaviour with wry amusement but sometimes with real anger. Alongside, the lives of other characters proceed in ways not always understood by Emma, and she has many lessons to learn before the end of the story.
Episode 1: Emma Woodhouse has just attended the marriage of a dear friend and now fears that her own life will become boring & dull.

Doran Godwin – Emma Woodhouse
John Carson – George Knightley

Casanova (TV Series 1971) | Steed in the Stable (Episode 1)
Casanova is a British television drama serial, written by television playwright Dennis Potter. Directed by Mark Cullingham and John Glenister, the serial was made by the BBC and screened on the BBC2 network in November and December 1971. It is loosely based on Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova's Histoire de ma vie (Story of My Life; 1780–1792). It was Dennis Potter's first television serial, having previously written single plays for the BBC's The Wednesday Play and Play for Today series. Frank Finlay starred in the title role and was nominated for the best actor award at the 1972 BAFTA ceremony.
Episode 1: After being arrested and charged with "foul atheism" and fornication, Casanova is sentenced to five years imprisonment at "The Leads": the most notorious of Venetian gaols. Brutalised by Lorenzo the gaoler and devoid of hope under the harsh prison regime, Casanova's mind wanders back to his past loves and adventures. He finds himself haunted by the memory of Christina, a simple country girl he gave to another rather than marry her himself.
