What does it say this November 13?

This Wednesday, November 13, two billionaires for the price of one with the future appointment of Elon Musk as Donald Trump's minister, and between the highly anticipated “Gladiator II” or the unexpected NBA at the cinema, our choice is made .

“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Wednesday, November 13, the President-elect of the United States Donald Trump confirmed his campaign promise by appointing Elon Musk to head a new, unprecedented Department of Government Effectiveness. The richest man in the world, boss of X, Tesla and SpaceX, will be responsible in particular for “cutting unnecessary spending”. He already promises “entertainment” with the upcoming publication of a “ranking of the most terribly stupid expenses”.

A cult film with a big spectacle comes out this Wednesday in cinemas. Director Ridley Scott won five Oscars for his first Gladiator. 24 years later, we return to ancient Rome with a five-star cast and impressive special effects… but money isn't everything.

Meanwhile, in contemporary Rome, a small arthouse cinema relies more on its inventiveness than on blockbusters to fill its theaters. Three years after its closure, the Troisi has become the busiest venue in Italy… and its NBA nights are not for nothing!
