Italian auteur Marco Tullio Giordana, best known internationally for sweeping terrorism-themed epic “The Best of Youth” (2003) is set to soon return behind the camera on “La Vita Accanto” a psychological drama about a talented young woman contending with profound rejection due to her looks.
Shooting is set to start on June 5 in Vicenza, Northern Italy, on “Vita Accanto,” (the title can be translated as “the life beside”) which is co-written and produced by Marco Bellocchio – the Italian master who is currently competing for a Cannes Palm d’Or with “Kidnapped.”
Italy’s Intramovies has started launching pre-sales on “Vita Accanto” in Cannes.
Giordana’s new project is based on an eponymous prizewinning novel by Italian writer Mariapia Veladiano about a girl named Rebecca who from the very moment of birth becomes ostracized by her family and the world around her “because she does not conform to aesthetic canons [of beauty],” Giordana told Variety.

In an effort to be more transparent about the viewership of its top series and movies, Netflix will begin releasing weekly Top 10 reports for the streamer’s original and acquired content. The charts will track total minutes viewed for Netflix’s most-watched English and non-English-language movies and TV shows.
As of today, Netflix has launched Top10.Netflix.com, a website that it will update every Tuesday based on hours titles were watched the previous Monday through Sunday. The four main global lists are film and film (non-English) and TV & TV (non-English). Last week’s winners are “Red Notice,” starring Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot (148.72 million hours viewed), true-crime Italian movie “Yara” (17.95 million hours), the third season of “Narcos: Mexico” (50.29 million hours) and the still insanely buzzy dystopic K-drama “Squid Game” (42.79 million hours).
These charts follow the streaming giant’s recent promise to be more transparent about viewership data.

In the wake of redefining the measurement of binge-watching on streaming, Netflix’s new top 10 film chart for the week of Nov. 8-14 lists Rawson Marshall Thurber’s $200M action feature Red Notice as the No. 1 film for the period with 148.7M hours watched since Nov. 12; easily the most watched movie ever on Netflix for a pic in its first weekend.
We reported yesterday that Samba TV clocked 4.2M U.S. households who tuned into the Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, Ryan Reynolds movie for at least five minutes, more than any Disney+ movie to date and HBO Max theatrical titles in their respective weekend debuts.
There was also some Johnson spillover in the top 10 from Red Notice with the first weekend of Sony’s Jumanji: The Next Level on Netflix which notched 10th place with 6.76M hours watched.
Also breaking into the top 10 were the streamer’s British comedy holiday...

Measurement replaces previous system reporting who watched at least two minutes of content in first 28 days.
Netflix has launched top 10 lists reporting its most popular films and shows around the world based on its new metric measuring hours viewed.
Starting today (November 16) the metric on Top10.netflix replaces the streamer’s previous measurement which recorded the number of accounts that watched at least two minutes of a piece of content in its first 28 days on the platform.
That system was frequently criticised for failing to reveal a meaningful picture of viewership, cherry picking highlights and not reporting who watched shows in their entirety.
