At a certain point in the film it is said that the word trauma, which comes from the Greek and means wound, has the same root as the German word traum which instead means dream. With Shutter Island Martin Scorsese creates a masterful psychological thriller that talks about trauma, wounds of the soul and the subtle and confused relationship that exists between reality and dreams. The story is that of Teddy Daniels, a U.S. Marshal who is ferried to anโฆ

Hugo 2011
Martin Scorsese's Hugo is a formidable sleight of hand, a fantastic trick, exactly like those that the illusionist Georges Mรฉliรจs - to whom the film is dedicated - proposed to his audience in the theater, before becoming the greatest director of the early 1900s.

Rosemary's Baby 1968
The story told is that of a young couple - brilliantly played by Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes - who move into a New York apartment where they discover they are the targets of a satanic cult conspiring against the baby the woman is carrying.
