How is it that a security guy with an impeccable driving record managed to transport huge sums of money for ten years without any problem, and now he suddenly goes missing with more than eleven million euros in his van? Although it was the talk of France in 2009, director Philippe Godeau and François Cluzet, who plays real-life Toni Musulin, are more interested in the man’s motivations than in what happened to all that cash.

Alexander: The Ultimate Cut / Alexander: The Ultimate Cut

Tribute to Oliver Stone
Alexander: The Ultimate Cut

Directed by: Oliver Stone

USA, 2004, 206 min


6P7 - July 3, 2013, 19:00, Pupp


In 2004 Oliver Stone undertook his one excursion into the genre of historical costume dramas. The life of ruler Alexander III of Macedon provided him with a starting point for another cautionary tale about political power concentrated in the hands of one man. In harmony with traditional historical mega-films à la Cecil B. DeMille, Stone turned in a grandiose spectacle featuring Colin Farrell and other bejeweled movie stars. The 206-minute reedit from 2013 (Alexander: The Ultimate Cut) is the director’s fourth and definitive version.

This grand lyrico-epic narrative takes place just after WWII in a small Moravian town where the inhabitants live in friendly solidarity. But, after the communist takeover of February 1948, they are one by one pulled into the meshes of history and no one is left unscathed. Director Jasný’s deep empathy for the lives of his numerous protagonists, as well as Jaroslav Kučera’s emotive and painterly camerawork, render this a rare gem of a film.
