Vittorio recherche une femme qui correspond à son idéal. Grâce à une petite annonce, il rencontre Sonia, une jeune fille douce, agréable et intelligente. Cependant, elle pèse 125 livres, ce qui, selon Vittorio, est bien trop. Orfèvre de formation, Vittorio est obsédé par le désir de façonner le corps et l'esprit de Sonia comme le fait un feu avec de l'or. Presque imperceptiblement, Sonia devient une participante passive et la relation se transforme en un jeu masochiste réciproque. Lorsque les deux amoureux s'isolent dans une maison de campagne sur les collines de Vénétie, ils perdent dangereusement contact avec la réalité et avec le reste du monde.

Sound City Studios was located in the San Fernando Valley, amidst rows of dilapidated warehouses. The little-known recording studio housed a unique analog Neve recording console and a reputation for recording drums. Artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Kyuss, Slipknot and Nirvana recorded groundbreaking music at the studio. The film tells the story of the studio from its early days in 1969 until its closing in 2011. It then follows Dave Grohl's purchase of the studio's custom analog Neve console, which he moved to his personal studio, Studio 606. Rupert Neve is an English engineer who founded Neve Electronics in 1961, designed and manufactured the Neve 8028, "one of four in the world", and is interviewed by Grohl in the film. Famous musicians who recorded at Sound City reunite at Studio 606 for a jam session and to make an album of "all-new all-original songs, each one composed and recorded exclusively for the film within its own 24-hour session on that console." It also shows album covers by some bands: Red Hot Chili Peppers's One Hot Minute, Nirvana's Incesticide and Nevermind, Rage Against The Machine's self-titled album and many others.

Koch
Koch (2013)
, 1h35
Origin USA
Genres Documentary, Historical
Themes Documentary films about historical events, Documentaire sur une personnalité, Documentary films about politics, Documentary films about cities, Political films
Actors Ronald Reagan

First-time filmmaker and former Wall Street Journal reporter Neil Barsky’s 2012 documentary film Koch explores the origins, career, and legacy of Edward Irving “Ed” Koch, who served as Mayor of New York City for three consecutive terms from 1978 to 1989. With candid interviews and rare archival footage, the film offers a close look at a man known for being intensely private in spite of his dynamic public persona, and chronicles the tumultuous events which marked his time in office – a fiercely competitive 1977 election, the 1980 transit strike, the burgeoning AIDS epidemic, landmark housing renewal initiatives, and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Poignant and often humorous, Koch is a portrait not only of one of New York’s most iconic political figures, but of New York City itself at a time of radical upheaval and transformation.
