Hôtel Paradiso, une maison sérieuse
6.138
Le "Paradiso" est le pire des hôtels que l'on puisse trouver. Ses extérieurs lui donnent des allures de ruine : façade terne, murs et fenêtres vermoulus, les gouttières claquent au moindre souffle de vent.L'intérieur est pire encore : les cafards pullulent, la poussière s'accumule, la cuisine n'est plus qu'un amas d'immondices où évolue un cuisinier crasseux et saoul à longueur de journée. Comble de l'horreur, le "Paradiso" se situe à moins d'une centaine de mètres d'une centrale nucléaire qui crache, nuit et jour, une abominable fumée toxique…Au milieu de ce capharnaüm, Richie Twat et son acolyte Eddie Elizabeth Ndingombaba s'unissent et se désunissent. Les deux inséparables se frappent, s'injurient mais ne peuvent se séparer… Burlesque au rendez-vous…

Dan y Wenallt

Jun 20, 2015
Two versions of Dylan Thomas' classic play "Under Milk Wood" were shot, with the same cast, one in Welsh, "Dan y Wenallt", and one in English. Directed by Kevin Allen, narrated by and starring Rhys Ifans, the films were shot largely in the Pembrokeshire village of Solfa during the summer of 2014. This surreal and erotic interpretation of Dylan Thomas' work is the first theatrical production of the brilliant, haunting radio play since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's 1972 film. Certain to astonish and excite in equal measures, this production reunites director Kevin Allen with actor Rhys Ifans over 15 years after the release of their cult classic "Twin Town". An ensemble Welsh speaking cast of familiar faces is led by Ifans as First Voice and Captain Cat, with Charlotte Church as Polly Garter.
