Herald News: “The Operation” – Starring Mark Ruffalo – HBO Max Drama Coming Up on Mondays.

Mare of Eastown, which starred Kate Winsletwas as a small-town Pennsylvania police detective, a terrific crime drama. A detective story, made the most of both its characters and its locations.

Writer-creator Brad Ingelsby leaned into the miniseries, or limited series. And was a one-time story, even the most central characters might die at any point, raising the tension considerably. With its settings, its accents, and its deeply drawn, deeply flawed people, Mare of Easttown was a very memorable HBO drama. But now Ingelsby is back with The Task, a new drama set in Pennsylvania. Once again, we get references to Wawa and Scrapple, visits to Rita’s Water Ice, and lots of Delaware County — or “Delco” — back roads and thick accents. It’s a seven-part drama starring Mark Ruffalo.

Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo), a former priest turned FBI agent turns out, is a lot more complicated than it seems. Robbie Prendergrast (Tom Pelphrey), a thief turned garbage collector, come from two different worlds but face similar internal struggles. As the case unfolds, a clash is inevitable.

Task has a lot of tension, and action, and conflict … but it also has a lot of heart, and deeper meaning. The drama headlines faith and death, love and duty, family and responsibility, and deeper meaning, outweighing the mystery and its actions.

Worthwhile to watch the entire seven-part drama, get into the ideas and the emotions in Task end up outweighing the mystery and the action, and they linger.

The series arrives every Monday with a new episode on HBO Max and HBO, in the original language with Hungarian subtitles and dubbing.

David Gilmour Live at the Circus Maximus @ Rome 

Most probably … I’m not alone thrilled to announce the live film of 2024 Rome concert at the Circus Maximus is shortly coming to selected cinemas nationwide this year Wednesday, 17th of September.

Pink Floyd fans will find it worthwhile to check out the national cinema program, as a recording of one of his performances in Rome last year will be released in Hungary.

Live at the Circus Maximus may be the best chance for fans around the world to experience David’s art on the big screen through images from fresh footage.

One of the stops on Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour’s 2024 Luck and Strange tour was at the famous Circus Maximus in Rome. Returning to touring after nearly a decade thanks to the latest album of the same name. Against the backdrop of the ancient ruins of Rome, the album’s songs will obviously resonate, such as a new cover of “Between Two Points”, but of course there will also be real Pink Floyd classics such as “Sorrow”, “High Hopes”, “Breathe (In the Air)”, “Time”, “Wish You Were Here” and “Comfortably Numb”. The Luck and Strange 23 concert quickly sold out, and with no new event on the horizon in Gilmour’s calendar at the moment.

The work was directed by Gavin Elder, who has worked with Duran Duran on music videos and concert recordings since 2004 and with Gilmour since 2006, so the motion picture recordings of the tours held in the mid-2010s were also made under his direction. The two and a half hour Roman evening featured 23 songs in total, of which the aforementioned “Between Two Points” was performed in a duet with his daughter. The movie version stored 22 tracks for eternity in 142 minutes. The performance and its soundtrack will also be released as a double CD edition 1 month after the movie premiere (with the song missing from the film included), so those who may miss the extras provided by the movie experience won’t have to wait long for it.

The tour first warmed up with two shows in Brighton, then followed by a 6-day trip to Rome, which was then followed by the legendary Royal Albert Hall in London, then the equally iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and finally the equally emblematic Madison Square Garden in New York.

During last October music release, the 23 tracks will be released as a selection, so not all of them will be from the filmed Roman evening, so it may also contain some new material for those lucky enough to catch a movie screening.

Don’ miss your chance to experience.

The concert film is for a limited time only, so it is recommended to find and book tickets for your preferred screening A.S.A.P.

The film distributed by Pannónia Entertainment.
