Farinelli -- 1994 Golden Globe(r) Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The true story of castrato opera singer Carlo Broschi, who enthralled 18th century European audiences under his stage name Farinelli.

In the 18th century, no man was more famous, more beloved, or more celebrated than the man called Farinelli. The amazing true story of the world famous castrato comes brilliantly to life in a sumptuous and sexy drama of high notes and even higher passions. With all the charisma, talent, drive and success of a modern-day rock star, Farinelli had everything: money, talent, fame, women... and the voice of an angel.

Primo Levi's bittersweet memoir (&NFi;The Reawakening&NFi_;) of his Herculean trek home to Italy after being liberated from Auschwitz by the Russian Army gets a respectful mounting. Levi (John Turturro), along with survivors of various nationalities, is taken to a transition camp run by Soviet medical personnel. Here, the survivors recover from their ordeal, rebuilding their strength for the long picaresque journey home.
