Max von Sydow

One of the greatest actors of the twentieth century, von Sydow is best known for his long creative partnership with director Ingmar Bergman, whose psychologically probing dramas—including their most famous collaboration, THE SEVENTH SEAL—gave the actor freedom to bare his soul and showcase his unfailingly commanding screen presence. In addition to the string of masterpieces he made with the Swedish auteur, von Sydow embodied a wide range of characters in films by art-house titans such as Jan Troell, Lars von Trier, and Wim Wenders, leaving behind a body of work that spans more than six decades and a dozen different countries. He appeared in more than one hundred and fifty films and television series in multiple languages. Max von Sydow received his French citizenship in 2002 and lived in France for the last two decades of his life.

Nascidos em Bordéis

Este ganhador do Oscar® mostra a vida das crianças do bairro da Luz Vermelha, em Calcutá. O aparente enriquecimento da Índia deixa de lado os menos favorecidos. Neste contexto, os menos privilegiados são as crianças filhas de prostitutas do bairro mais pobre da cidade. Porém, ainda há esperanças. Os documentaristas Zana Briski e Ross Kauffman procuram essas crianças e munidos de câmeras fotográficas pedem para eles fazerem retratos de tudo que lhes chama a atenção. Os resultados são emocionantes. E enquanto as crianças vão descobrindo essa nova forma de se expressar, os cineastas lutam para poder dar mais esperança e uma vida melhor a essas crianças, para as quais a pobreza é a maior ameaça à realização dos sonhos.
