Menter the fate of cinemas animatedly, If we wish to participate in the debate actively And we do not want fundamental cultural places for the community to turn into supermarkets We have to go to the cinema.
I know, it is not easy to overcome laziness fueled by the super offer that arrives directly at home Spaparanziati on the sofa. But it is when the game becomes tough that the hard must start playing and we do not miss the choice.
For example now you will find in the room We and themthe film based on the beautiful novel by Laurent Petitmanangin What you need at night (Mondadori), directed by Delphine and Muriel Coulin.

How can you refrain from the long -standing controversy “Is the film better or the book better?”, Cross and delight of every discussion with friends? There are those who prefer to see the film first and read the book after and who vice versa He wants to get prepared in the room to grasp all the differences as the most sadistic of cinematographic critics.
In my opinion this time the two works are on par Because – among other things – to give the face to the Father railway workers, the protagonist is an actor like Vincent Lindon Which has already conquered the Volpi Cup for the best male interpretation at the last Venice Film Festival. But they are all good and the story, who read it knows, is simple and compelling until the last line.
“What you need at night” by Laurent Petitmanangin (Mondadori)
The book faces a tremendously contemporary family drama who sees a widowed father to take care of the education of his two childrenFus and Gillou, inspired by his common sense and a historic socialist faith.

But something goes wrong, Fus escapes him and begins to attend a tour of violent boys of the far right. The father is annihilated, he does not know how to react, he wonders where he was wrong and an abyss is created between the two.
One night Fus is beaten by a far left boy and is forced into a pharmacological coma. When he restores himself he only seeks revengean obsession that will lead him to perform an extreme act.
I do not say more out of respect for those who still do not know the story but the strength is all in the story more than in the plot that slowly and with a style without frills makes us enter the head of the Father torn by a thousand questions. It is a poignant story in which we can all identify with, because it faces our relationship with children and our limits as parents.
Sometimes it is impossible to make sense of what happens to us and reality escapes us from handnot only in our family relationships, but also with respect to the world in which we have lived, never as now as dark and full of contradictions.
