E’ stato presentato questa mattina il programma di Locarno 74, che paventa un ritorno alla normalità, compresa la celeberrima Piazza Grande, dove le proposte espanse del Festival elvetico sono sempre esplose sul grande schermo all’aperto.
Si potranno vedere Beckett con John David Washington, Alicia Vikander e Vicky Krieps di Ferdinando Cito Filomarino, prodotto da Netflix, Free Guy con Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer targato Disney, il nuovo film del premio Oscar austriaco Stefan Ruzowitzky, Hinterland, Vortex di Gaspar Noé con Dario Argento e la nuova animazione di Alessandro Rak, Yaya e Lennie.
Tra i classici si vedranno Heat – La Sfida di Michael Mann, Animal House di Landis e Terminator di Cameron.
