"Well, if they're big and you're small, then you're mobile and they're slow. You're hidden and they're exposed. You only fight battles you know you can win. That's the way the Vietcong did it. You capture their weapons and you use them against them the next time."

August: Osage County (2013, John Wells)

28/02/2024

August: Osage County is a 2013 film directed by John Wells, based on Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play August: Osage County.

Violet Weston is an elderly woman who lives in Osage County, Oklahoma with her husband Beverly. Harsh and corrosive, the woman suffers from a tumor in her mouth: nevertheless her husband remained by her side.

Steve immediately tries to become close to Jean, discovering that she uses illegal substances such as marijuana.

Following this, Karen has an argument not with Steve but with Barbara, accusing her of being insensitive and cynical, who, in tears, returns to Florida with the man, aware that her relationship with Steve, who in those days she had continued to magnify everyone, it would not be his last mistake; the following morning Jean also abandons her mother to leave for Colorado, with Bill.

Ivy therefore leaves her mother's house, deciding to stay with "Little" Charles since, due to a previous hysterectomy, she could not have children to whom she could possibly pass on hereditary defects.

The direction is by John Wells, while George Clooney, Jean Doumanian, Harvey Weinstein, Steve Traxler, Grant Heslov produce the film, which was distributed by The Weinstein Company.

Renée Zellweger and Andrea Riseborough were considered, but Riseborough was forced to withdraw due to prior commitments, and was replaced by Juliette Lewis.

Chloë Grace Moretz auditioned for the role of Jean Fordham, but the part was given to Abigail Breslin.

Filming occurred in Bartlesville and Pawhuska, Oklahoma and Los Angeles between October 16 and December 8, 2012.

In Italian cinemas, however, it was distributed starting from 30 January 2014.

L'uomo che fissa le capre (2009).

Trama: un giornalista, cercando di perdere se stesso in una storia di guerra dopo il fallimento del suo matrimonio, ottiene di più di quello che ha concordato quando incontra un'agente delle forze speciali che rivela l'esistenza di un segreto.

Nel 2003 fu pubblicata un'indagine che rivelava che l'esercito americano stava reclutando specialisti nel paranormale. Il regista Grant Heslov ne fece un film, raccontando l'incontro tra un giornalista e uno strano personaggio che affermava di avere poteri psichici usati da un esercito segreto di spie psichiche.  I due si ritrovano in Iraq.

Commedia stravagante e sovversiva, in cui George Clooney e Jeff Bridges interpretano gli esilaranti medium, mentre Ewan McGregor è un giornalista perdutosi in un'avventura surreale.
