Original sound movies in Florence in March

A rich planning for Original Sound movies in Florence. In March, in Florence, there will be many Oscar-winner movies, starting with hotly-tipped No Country For Old Men (4 oscar: best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, and best supporting actor for Spain's Javier Bardem), the Coen brothers’ adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel, a hard-hitting and violent tale of a 1980s drug bust and vendetta impeccably told in the brothers’ typical style, with outstanding performances from Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem (Bardem won this year's best supporting actor Oscar for his portrayal of a psychopathic killer).

Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood with Daniel Day-Lewis (best actor Oscar) gives a stunning display as early 20th century Californian prospector turned oilman Daniel Plainview in an intense, innovative and memorable movie destined to be an American classic.

Johnny Depp has a star turn as the legendary demon barber in Tim Burton’s adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd.

Julie Christie is the star of Away From Her, along with Sarah Polley, the writer-director in a story about coping with Alzheimer’s.

In 30 Days of Night vampires attack an Alaskan town in a graphic novel adaptation of a bloodthirsty gorefest, while Roland Emmerich’s 10,000 B.C. is a prehistoric adventure epic in which the ‘first hero’ confronts mammoths, sabre-toothed tigers and rival tribesmen.
