Regia: Luca Barbareschi
Cast: Luca Barbareschi, Catherine McCormack, Adam James, Adrian Lester, Robert Steiner
Luca Barbareschi brings to the big screen a theatre text by David Mamet, inspired by a true story. New York: a psychiatrist sees his career and private life derailed after refusing to testify on behalf of a violent and unstable former patient who caused the death of several people. The young patient's membership of the LGBT community, the doctor's Jewish beliefs, the press's hunger for news and the law's harsh judgement, compounded by a newspaper editor's misprint, seem to be the elements that set off an explosive chain reaction. The media pillorying and the doggedness of the judicial system add up to the moral dilemma in the professional who entrenches himself behind the Hippocratic oath to defend himself against the interrogations, pressures and betrayals of all in search of the truth. So who is the monster? The boy? The doctor? The press? Justice? Who is innocent?

The restaurant
Il Caffè Odeon di Firenze nasce da un incontro e da un sogno. L’incontro è quello con la casa editrice Giunti e col progetto sulla nuova vita da dare allo storico cinema Odeon di Firenze, come centro culturale polifunzionale. Il sogno era quello di poter avere uno spazio, aperto tutto il giorno come i grandi caffè mitteleuropei, in cui proporre piatti provenienti da diverse tradizioni gastronomiche, insieme ad una pasticceria altrettanto ricca e ad una caffetteria di grande qualità, senza trascurare bevande analcoliche sofisticate, vini e cocktail.Assaporare un cibo, bere un caffè fumante o sorseggiare un buon vino sono cose che hanno molto in comune con il leggere un libro o guardare un film: si tratta sempre di usare i nostri sensi per vivere delle storie, che ci riguardino direttamente o ci portino in altri mondi, ed è proprio questo che ha fatto sì che l’incontro permettesse al nostro sogno di avverarsi.
