Two 20 year olds on the toughest day of their young lives. Matteo and his terrible plan: he wants to practice euthanasia on his mother who is terminally ill. Juliette and her big test: she has to decide whether to have an abortion or not. In this seemingly endless day, Matteo and Juliette meet each other, they get close to each other and they find themselves. Between them, they spark off their unstoppable "desire for truth" against the adult world which is made up of compromises and hypocrisy. Matteo and Juliette show the state of their souls "live" as if they were being followed by the camera...
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
