We're delighted to be working with Sony Home Entertainment, to give away two bundles of newly released Blu-rays from The Criterion Collection's exceptional series of classic and contemporary cinema each month. October's releases include:
La Dolce Vita (1960) - Federico Fellini's most popular feature offers a damning critique on the rich and famous. A look under the surface of the glamour and stardom. Providing a prescient glimpse of just how gossip and fame-obsessed our society would become.
Love & Basketball (2000) - Stellar performances from an iconic on-screen couple (Omar Epps & Sanaa Lathan) and an eclectic soundtrack in this ground-breaking feature debut from director Gina Prince-Bythewood. This film shows an honest expression to the challenges female athletes face in a world that doesn’t see them as equal.
The Damned (1969) - Descend into a self-destructive spiral of decadence, greed, perversion, and all-consuming hatred in the most savagely subversive film by the iconoclastic auteur Luchino Visconti. Heightened performances and Visconti’s luridly expressionistic use of Technicolor conjure a garish world of decaying opulence.
For a chance to win October's new releases, answer the following question: What is the name of the iconic fountain in Rome featured in La Dolce Vita?
Please email answers to leeds.film@leeds.gov.uk by midnight on Thursday 28 October 2021.
The competition is open to UK residents only.
