SOME LIKE IT CLASSIC is back. The annual program in Palazzo delle Esposizioni - presenting a selection of the greatest film in Cinema history in 35mm - is now in its 6th edition and has become one of the most anticipated events for film lovers in Rome. Promoted by Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia – Cineteca Nazionale, Azienda Speciale Palaexpo and La Farfalla sul Mirino, it will open on Tuesday, October 25th 2016, h 9:00pm, with Nosferatu the Vampyre, a re-imagining of the myth of Dracula directed by Werner Herzog and starring an unforgettable Klaus Kinski. The 35mm original language copy (with Italian subtitles) provided by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino is the original cut of the film. Like all the shows of the program, the entrance is free while seats last. But this is just the first of the many events of this year's program, which will run until May 30th 2017. You'll see the restored version of Lola Montès, Max Ophuls' artistic and spiritual legacy, the precious director's cut of Renato Castellani's Nella città l’inferno, preserved by the Cineteca Nazionale, starring an amazing Anna Magnani. And there's more: a homage to Andrzej Wajda (with his landmark work Ashes and Diamonds), the Polish director who recently passed away, to David Bowie (the "protective deity" of Christiane F., cult film of an entire generation) and to David Cronenberg's The Fly, originally released exactly thirty years ago. There will be also classics from Hollywood like The Hustler, starring Paul Newman, the comedic masterpiece The Philadelphia Story, starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, noirs like Douglas Sirk's Sleep, My love, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Dragonwyck and Nunnally Johnson's The Three Faces of Eve, starring a sensational Joanne Woodward, who won an Acadamy Award for this role. You'll see also the silent classic City Lights, one of the heights in Charlie Chaplin's career. As for the European Cinema, you'll see The Round-Up, a prime example of Hungarian director Miklós Jancsó's work, and Gone to Earth, by the British duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. The last show will be Amadeus by Miloš Forman, an exhilarating and spectacular summary of American and European Cinema.
