  • Analisi e commento delle principali notizie provenienti dal mondo del cinema e della televisione

  • In 2021, two journalists started an investigation to answer what seemed like a simple question: Why does the actor Amy Adams do so many bathing scenes? From the beginning, we suspected a conspiracy — Is Amy, who has never won an Oscar, doing all these bathtub scenes because they offer the opportunity for the kind of dramatic acting that earns the biggest, goldest prizes? This is the story of how Brandon R. Reynolds and Gabby Lombardo opened the tap on the secret history of bathtubs in cinema. They could not imagine what would come bubbling up.

    From Grab Bag Collab and Because It's True Productions, the 6-part series "Why Is Amy in the Bath?" looks at the deeper meaning of bathing across 1,500 films. We talk to the writers, actors, and set designers that bring bathing scenes to life onscreen, and the film wonks who will help us unpack the conspiracy. It takes us into some very weird places: wellness and Calgon commercials, hit thriller novels, consumer trends, sex in America, and the way nostalgia traps us in an endless now. Alternately a warm soak and a bracing blast of cold, "Why Is Amy in the Bath?" will leave us all a little cleaner in heart and mind.

  • David Lynch's five-decade exploration of sound and music represents a unique journey through the possibilities of sonic expression in both film and recorded music. Beginning with his early experimental sound designs for "Eraserhead," Lynch developed innovative approaches to integrating sound and image that would influence generations of filmmakers and musicians. His legendary collaboration with composer Angelo Badalamenti produced some of cinema's most memorable soundtracks, particularly their work on "Twin Peaks," which demonstrated how film music could transcend its traditional supporting role to become an integral part of storytelling. Lynch's evolution as a recording artist, including his albums "BlueBOB," "Crazy Clown Time," and "The Big Dream," revealed new dimensions of his artistic vision while maintaining his characteristic attention to sonic detail. Throughout his career, Lynch consistently pushed the boundaries of how sound and music could be used to create immersive artistic experiences, influencing contemporary approaches to sound design, film scoring, and music production.
