Den tynne røde linjen
En kraftig rollebesetning på frontlinjen - inkludert Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Woody Harrelson og George Clooney - eksploderer i action i dette dramatiske og realistiske synet på militært og moralsk kaos i Stillehavet under andre verdenskrig.
The Thin Red Line
Based on the graphic novel by James Jones, The Thin Red Line tells the story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who change, suffer, and ultimately make essential discoveries about themselves during the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal. It follows their journey, from the surprise of an unopposed landing, through the bloody and exhausting battles that follow, to the ultimate departure of those who survived. A powerful frontline cast - including Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Woody Harrelson and George Clooney - explodes into action in this hauntingly realistic view of military and moral chaos in the Pacific during World War II.
Looking for Richard
This is a fascinating documentary-style film about Academy Award-winning actor Al Pacino's staging of Richard; and his simultaneous exploration of the relevance of Shakespeare to people in every walk of life. Every scene of the play is dissected by actors and scholars prior to us seeing it performed, thus bringing the play brilliantly to life. Pacino's directorial debut takes the audience on a fascinating journey through the actor's process, preparing the audience for classical drama in its highest form. Richard schemes murderously for the throne at the expense of his brother Clarence (Alec Baldwin), his wife Lady Anne (Winona Ryder), his sidekick Buckingham (Kevin Spacey), and just about everyone else who crosses his path. The film also stars Aidan Quinn as Richmond, and includes interviews with F. Murray Abraham, Gil Bellows, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Kline, James Earl Jones, John Gielgud and Vanessa Redgrave, among dozens of others. The film won numerous awards, including the 1997 Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Documentary.
Het ettermiddag
Det er en het ettermiddag i Brooklyn. To optimistiske dåsemikler bestemmer seg for å rane en bank. Sonny (Al Pacino) er hjernen bak, Sal (John Cazale) er hans protesjé, og resultatet er katastrofe. For ikke bare politiet og en stor folkmengde, men til og med pizzabudet er der for å se på. Pacino og regissør Sidney Lumet (som også jobbet sammen i Serpico) slår seg sammen igjen i denne støyende thrillerkomedien, som ble nominert til seks Oscar®-priser (inkludert for Beste film) og vant én – for Frank Piersons manus.* Dog Day Afternoon er basert på en sann historie, og er «en av de virkelig store – full av energi, spenning og drama» (Gene Shalit, Today/NBC-TV).
Fugleskremsel
Oscar-winning superstars Gene Hackman (Unforgiven, The Firm) and Al Pacino (Carlito's Way, Scent of a Woman) star as two born losers —— one a gruff ex-con who dreams of owning his own car wash and the other, a clowning, likable ex-seaman. They team up on a cross-country hitchhiking trip and develop a unique bond of communication that teaches them both something about life, loving and caring.
