Looking back to the 1980's at the celebrities in the press and on television for all the wrong reasons doing all the wrong things. It doesn't matter whether what they did was embarrassing, stupid, ridiculous, career ruining (or sometimes boosting), dangerous or illegal, they were all caught and filmed or photographed, and we will never forget them. Narrated by Isla Blair, with contributions by Simon Donald, Russell Grant, Christine Hamilton, Lauren Harries (also as James Harries), James King, and Michael Winner. These moments included It's a Royal Knockout, Rob Lowe's sex tape, Boy George's heroin problems, Drew Barrymore's childhood meltdown (including taking drugs at a very young age), the many mistakes at The Brits 1989 and many more. Good!
From popular piety to blockbuster, from musical to social criticism - Jesus Christ has many faces in film history. And the Italian city of Matera has often served as the backdrop for the Holy Land. Both Pier Paolo Pasolini's early masterpiece “Il Vangelo secondo Matteo” and Mel Gibson's controversial interpretation “The Passion of Christ” were filmed here. Gibson's film and Martin Scorsese's “The Last Temptation of Christ” caused a stir and scandal in 1988 and 2004 respectively. Milo Rau's interpretation also goes beyond the traditional. In “The New Gospel”, the Swiss director links the story of Jesus with current social struggles and presents a revolutionary Christ.
The private Joan Crawford fought as hard to create a normal family life as she did to establish her career. She forged her own path and to that end became a single parent, eventually adopting and raising four children. Like many parents, she picked up a 16mm camera and began filming both the special and the ordinary events of her family’s life. These home movies (ca. 1940–42) present that which one rarely gets to see: a larger-than-life personality at home, unadorned, just being herself—and often in color, at a time when her feature films were black and white. Crawford filmed most of the home movies herself; when she is on camera, it is unclear who is behind it.
