Piranha

It was 1978, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) was a smash hit at the box office and Hollywood wanted something similar. Enters Piranha, the first in a series of B-movies to capitalise on the lode of deadly aquatic animals. Between horror, sci-fi and comedy, Piranha has gained cult film status. The plot involves, of course, genetically altered and deadly piranhas terrorising a summer resort.

Red Wood Pigeon

A 1989 comedy that works as political satire. Michele Apicella (Nanni Moretti) heads the Communist Party, but he’s also a water polo player and has to take part in an intense game that will last a day and part of the night. During the game, in conversations with different people, he will try to find himself again after an accident in which he lost his memory. With references such as Doctor Zhivago or Bruce Springsteen, this pool game has never been so exciting.
