Sky has released the official first look trailer for brand new Sky Original drama, ‘The Great Game.’
Exploring the high stakes of the golden yet merciless football transfer market, the eight-part series is an Italian production from Sky Studios and Èliseo Entertainment. The series will launch on Sky Atlantic and streaming service Now in the UK this November.
Billionaire deals, ruthless characters, dream locations and nail-biting negotiations, the football transfer market is one of the most exciting moments in the entire football season and this dramatization delves behind the scenes of the dark and glamorous market through the eyes of the protagonist, Corso Manni.
Discredited by false accusations, Corso (Francesco Montanari) has gone from being the golden boy of Isg, Italy’s most prominent football agents’ company, to a pariah. With the help of young agent Marco Assari (Lorenzo Aloi), Corso begins to rebuild his career by competing against his...

At the height of his career, Czech-born composer Josef Mysliveček was the most prolific and sought-after figure in Italian opera, bound for immortal celebrity. Nearly three centuries later, his name isn’t forgotten to classical music scholars, but neither does it have anything approaching household status; the facts and records of his personal life, meanwhile, have largely been lost to history. Via a blend of free narrative speculation and exacting musical presentation, Petr Vaclav’s stately, sumptuous biopic “Il Boemo” seeks to restore a degree of iconic status to a talent latterly overshadowed by relative 18th-century contemporaries, albeit not with much swagger or modernity of its own: This is costume drama of a traditional, ornately brocaded stripe, a classical music lesson for classicists.
That’s not likely to do “Il Boemo” any harm as it further travels the festival circuit following its world premiere in San Sebastian’s main competition,...

Italian sales company True Colours has secured a seven-title slate of pics premiering in Venice across various sections, including Mario Martone’s competition entry “The King of Laughter” and high-profile doc “Django and Django: Sergio Corbucci Unchained,” in which Quentin Tarantino talks about the influential Spaghetti Westerns director.
Martone (“Capri Revolution”), who is a Lido aficionado, will once again vye for the Golden Lion with “King of Laughter,” a drama about Neapolitan theatre luminary Edoardo Scarpetta, played by Toni Servillo (“The Great Beauty”). Italy’s 01 Distribution will release the film in Italian theaters in September.
Another Venice competition title that True Colours is handling –– in this case in tandem with Rai Com –– is “Freaks Out,” the new genre-bender by Gabriele Mainetti, known for off-kilter 2016 superhero pic “They Call Me Jeeg.” Mainetti’s latest is set in 1943 Rome where four “freaks” who work in a circus are left to their...

The desire to have the world disappear overnight, leaving one alone with a devoted lover, undergirds many a melodrama, from All That Heaven Allows (1955) to The Bridges of Madison County (1995). It is also the bold, rather literal inspiration of Ulrich Köhler’s In My Room—an astonishingly protean film that begins as a minor-key character study of sad-sack, forty-something Berliner Armin (Hans Löw), before arriving at a place of strange, apocalyptic wonderment. Given the German director’s typically dogged, process-oriented realism, explicit references to Sirk’s Technicolor romance and Eastwood’s passionate two-hander—both of which emerge in the film’s later half—might seem misplaced. But it is this very tension between and union of opposites that will come to define Köhler’s fourth feature.When the film opens, though, we are faced with a reversal of a more banal sort. Armin, who works as a TV cameraman, makes...

You can’t call a film “In My Room” if you don’t want Brian Wilson’s spare, melancholic verses for the Beach Boys song of the same title to spring to mind: “Now it’s dark and I’m alone/But I won’t be afraid/In my room.” That indeed captures the mood of Ulrich Köhler’s disquieting, wonderfully imagined survivalist drama — the catch is that the room in question turns out to be the entire world, uncannily depopulated and sprawling with possibility, yet often made to feel as small as the loneliest studio apartment. Tracing the uncertain course-correction of a nowhere-bound Berlin manchild after he finds himself, suddenly and inexplicably, the last man on earth, “In My Room” presents and accepts its partial apocalypse with unquestioning calm — an extreme contrivance that merely enables an elegant, exacting character study.

Ulrich Köhler’s feature films Bungalow (Berlinale Panorama 2002) and Windows On Monday (Berlinale Forum 2006) were shown at numerous festivals and received prizes at home and abroad. Sleeping Sickness had its world premiere in the Competition of the 2011 Berlinale and Köhler won the Silver Bear for Best Director. His new feature film, In My Room, brings him to Cannes for the first time. It centers on Armin, in his forties, a freelancer with lots of time and little money. He’s not really happy, but can’t picture living a different life. One day everyone around him has disappeared and he isn’t sure what happened. As in his 2002 debut Bungalow,...
