En parallèle du cycle d’adaptations filmiques des œuvres de Michel Marc Bouchard que nous présentons, nous avons proposé à l’auteur de se prêter au jeu de la carte blanche et de programmer quelques films qui lui tiennent à cœur : c’est ainsi qu’il nous entraîne dans un voyage personnel à travers le cinéma italien, où se croisent films de grands maîtres et œuvres contemporaines, fresques splendides et chroniques intimes.
In Rome, at dawn, when everyone else is asleep, one man is awake. That man is Giulio Andreotti. Calm, ambiguous, inscrutable, Andreotti has been synonymous with power in Italy for over four decades. Without arrogance or humility, he advances towards his 7th term as Prime Minister, unscathed by anything.
