Toy Story 4, Xavier Dolan's new film, and Wolf Call hit Italian cinemas

This week in Italian cinemas, three major releases debut: Xavier Dolan's 'La mia vita con John F. Donovan', the French submarine thriller 'Wolf Call – Minaccia in alto mare', and Disney Pixar's 'Toy Story 4'. Dolan's film, distributed by Lucky Red, features an English-language script and an international cast including Natalie Portman, Kathy Bates, Susan Sarandon, and Kit Harington. It explores a correspondence between an 11-year-old boy and a rising star embroiled in a scandal about his presumed homosexuality. 'Wolf Call', the directorial debut of former diplomat Antonin Baudry, follows a Gold Ear sonar technician aboard a French submarine facing an unidentified threat. Distributed by Adler Entertainment, the film uses high-level visual effects and CGI. 'Toy Story 4', released by Disney Pixar, marks the first film in the franchise without Fabrizio Frizzi as the voice of Woody, replaced by Angelo Maggi. The story continues with Bonnie and introduces Forky, a plastic fork in identity crisis. The film addresses themes of female empowerment, growing up, and abandonment.
