Anna (n/c 12+)<br />

Per amor vostro<br />

Valeria Golino invites comparisons with the great<br />

Anna Magnani in a performance that won her the Best<br />

Actress Coppa Volpi at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.<br />

Set in Naples, this largely black and white melodrama<br />

features heartwrenching work from Golino as Anna,<br />

the long-suffering mother of three teenage children and<br />

the wife of Gigi (Massimiliano Gallo), a failed singer who<br />

makes her life hell. Seeking a measure of independence,<br />

Anna finds work with a local television company where<br />

she meets soap star Michele (Adriano Giannini, son<br />

of Giancarlo).<br />

The rare promise of happiness is like a burst of sunshine<br />

in Anna’s gloomy existence as she struggles with domestic<br />

pressures, depression and the unbearable burdens of<br />

her life.<br />

Best known for Festival favourites My Brother Is An Only Child / Mio<br />

fratello è figlio unico and Our Life / La nostra vita, director Daniele<br />

Luchetti tells the early years of the future Pope Francis in Call Me<br />

Francesco.<br />

Opening in Buenos Aires in 1960, it covers the story of Jorge Mario<br />

Bergoglio (Rodrigo De La Serna) from his days as a technician in a<br />

food lab to his time as provincial superior of the Jesuits in Argentina<br />

during the country’s brutal military dictatorship.<br />

No bland hagiography, this is a compelling, thoughtful portrait<br />

of a man of compassion and principle whose faith is defined by the<br />

times in which he lived and the people he encountered, including<br />

human rights lawyer Alicia Oliveira (Muriel Santa Ana).<br />

Cloro<br />

Lamberto Sanfelice’s assured debut feature made a big<br />

splash at Sundance and Berlin. A fresh perspective on<br />

the coming of age drama, it focuses on 17-year-old Jenny<br />

(Sara Serraiocco). Jenny is determined to achieve success<br />

as part of a synchronised swimming team.<br />

Her every waking moment is devoted to training and<br />

the pursuit of her sporting goals. When her mother dies,<br />

Jenny’s father struggles to cope and the family is obliged<br />

to move to an uncle’s holiday chalet in the Abruzzo<br />

Mountains. Forced to become the family breadwinner,<br />

an embittered Jenny tries to juggle adult responsibilities<br />

with the fading promise of her personal ambitions.<br />

A beautifully crafted, tenderly felt tale that marks the<br />

arrival of a promising new talent.<br />

ITALIAN FILM FESTIVAL<br />

Don’t Be Bad (n/c 15+)<br />

Non essere cattivo<br />

A major discovery at the Venice Film Festival, Don’t Be Bad was<br />

also Italy’s Oscar candidate this year. It is the last film from the<br />

late Claudio Caligari, cult director of Toxic Love. There are<br />

echoes of Martin Scorsese and Pier Paolo Pasolini in the story<br />

of two hedonistic best friends, small-time drug dealers from a<br />

working-class suburb in Ostia.<br />

In the middle of the 1990s, their lives are defined by petty<br />

crimes, minor scuffles, boredom, fast cars and ecstasy-fuelled<br />

oblivion. Vittorio decides to break the cycle by committing to<br />

a conventional life of hard graft and a steady relationship but<br />

Cesare is hell-bent on self-destruction.<br />

Their friendship is tested to the limit in a drama distinguished<br />

by its sense of empathy and understanding.<br />

God Willing (n/c 12+)<br />

Se Dio vuole<br />

Edoardo Falcone’s award-winning debut feature<br />

is a witty, thought-provoking comedy on keeping<br />

the faith. Tommaso (Marco Giallini) is a renowned<br />

surgeon, liberal and fierce atheist.<br />

He expects his son Andrea (Enrico Oetiker) to follow<br />

in his footsteps and is shocked when Andrea<br />

confesses that he has decided to become a priest.<br />

Tommaso discovers that the charismatic Catholic<br />

priest Don Pietro (Alessandro Gassman) has played<br />

a big influence on his son’s decision and sets out to<br />

discredit the priest, denounce the church and steer<br />

his son back towards a life in medicine.<br />

The road to hell may be paved with good intentions<br />

but could the path to enlightenment proceed<br />

alongside some misguided deceptions?<br />

The Invisible Boy (12+)<br />

Il ragazzo invisibile<br />

Oscar-winning director Gabriele Salvatores brings an Italian twist<br />

to the superhero movie in this highly entertaining family film.<br />

In the windswept city of Trieste, Michele (an impressive Ludovico<br />

Girardello) is a typical 13-year-old worried about school bullies,<br />

embarrassed by his mother being a police officer and determined<br />

to impress his classmate Stella (Noa Zatta).<br />

One disastrously humiliating Halloween party has a silver lining<br />

in the discovery that he can become invisible.<br />

Michele’s status as the confident new superhero in town fills<br />

him with thoughts of revenge on the bullies and winning his<br />

girl but great powers are accompanied by a growing sense of<br />

responsibility in this utterly charming coming-of-age adventure.<br />

Latin Lover (12+)<br />

Anyone who longs for the glory days of Marcello Mastroianni and Vittorio De Sica will love this delightful ensemble<br />

comedy that has become one of the biggest successes in the career of writer and director Cristina Comencini.<br />

A hot Southern town in Apulia is world famous as the birthplace of adored Italian movie idol Saverio Crispo<br />

(Francesco Scianna).<br />

Ten years after his death, his first wife Rita (the late Virna Lisi) is preparing for a memorial service that mushrooms<br />

into a vast family reunion involving Saverio’s Spanish wife Ramona (Marisa Paredes) and his neurotic French<br />

daughter Stephanie (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi).<br />

A comic treat filled with nostalgic moments of spot-on pastiche celebrating the glories of Italian cinema.<br />

The Legendary Giulia<br />

and Other Miracles (n/c 12+)<br />

Noi e la Giulia<br />

Winner of the Nastro D’Argento and Italian Golden Globe<br />

as comedy of the year, The Legendary Giulia is a smart,<br />

endearing romp in which a group of friends decide to<br />

abandon the rat race of urban life and pursue their collective<br />

Plan B by entering the world of agri-tourism.<br />

They decide to open a rustic bed and breakfast in the<br />

sun-kissed hinterland east of Naples. The previous owners<br />

seem eager to sell up and they soon discover why when a<br />

member of the camorra drives up in a Giulia 1300 Alfa Romeo<br />

demanding protection money. Is a threat from organised<br />

crime about to destroy their dream?<br />

The answer is the basis of a film that slips effortless between<br />

slapstick comedy, broad farce and some thoughtful reflection<br />

on life in modern Italy.<br />

Forget Deadpool or Captain America and savour a superhero<br />

Inspired by the 1970s cartoon series Steel Jeeg, They Call Me Jeeg is<br />

a real discovery as it combines well-handled special-effects with<br />

a superhero story that also comments on the social and political<br />

ills of Italy. It is a hugely appealing combination that marks<br />

Gabriele Mainetti as a talent to watch.<br />

We first met thief Enzo (Claudio Santamaria) as he tries to evade<br />

the police. Tumbling into toxic waste, he emerges imbued with<br />

Sworn Virgin (n/c 12+)<br />

Vergine giurata<br />

Laura Bispuri’s award-winning debut feature manages<br />

to be both highly topical and utterly timeless in the way<br />

it addresses issues of gender and identity.<br />

In a remote village in northern Albania, Hana<br />

(Alba Rohrwacher) has followed the ancient tradition<br />

of burmesha (sworn virgin), renouncing her female<br />

identity to live as a man. She has taken a lifelong vow<br />

of chastity but in return she is liberated from the servile<br />

role assigned to women. Leaving home for the first time,<br />

she visits her estranged sister Lila (Flonja Kodheli) who<br />

escaped to their home for Italy and a life as a wife and<br />

mother.<br />

Their reunion encourages Hana to confront the choices<br />

she made and the regrets that haunt her in a film of<br />

immense beauty and tender feeling.<br />

Castellitto. Delia (Jasmine Trinca) and Gaetano (Riccardo<br />

Scamarcio) meet to discuss holiday arrangements for their<br />

two sons.<br />

The couple are separated and the dinner soon becomes<br />

emotionally charged as they pick over the wreckage of their<br />

ten year marriage. Flashbacks capture the rise and fall of their<br />

relationship from the early passion to all the misunderstandings<br />

and lost opportunities that signalled its demise.<br />

Based on the novel by Margaret Mazzantini (Castellitto’s wife),<br />

You Can’t Save Yourself Alone is a a perceptive, bittersweet<br />

account of modern love with stand-out performances from<br />

REMEMBERING VISCONTI<br />

Luchino Visconti whose films are considered to be among the most stylistically and intellectually influential films of Italian post-war cinema.<br />

Visconti: Maestro<br />

on an epic canvas<br />

One of the greats of Italian Cinema, Luchino Visconti died 40 yeares ago on 17<br />

<strong>March</strong>. We pay tribute on this anniversary with the screening of one of his classic<br />

films in a newly restored version. Emmerick West traces his life and works.<br />

Luchino Visconti is one of the most illustrious<br />

names in Italian film history). His 40-year career<br />

was peppered with landmarks of international<br />

cinema from the groundbreaking naturalism of<br />

his James M Cain adaptation Ossessione to the<br />

seductive richness and heightened emotions of<br />

the period romance Senso, the family saga Rocco<br />

and his Brothers (the choice in this year’s Festival<br />

to mark the 40th anniversary of his death on<br />

17 <strong>March</strong>) and the elegant, operatic adaptation<br />

of Thomas Mann’s Death In Venice.<br />

An aristocrat by birth and a Marxist by conviction,<br />

Visconti was born Count Don Luchino Visconti Di<br />

Modrone in Milan on 2 November, 1906. His best<br />

films are a fascinating exploration of the<br />

contradictory tensions between his political<br />

beliefs, his family roots and the artistic instincts<br />

drawn from his privileged upbringing and<br />

homosexuality.<br />

Educated at private schools in Milan and Como,<br />

he served in the cavalry regiment Reggimento<br />

Savoia Cavalleria between 1926 and 1928. He<br />

then followed his interest in the arts, acting<br />

and designing for the theatre before moving to<br />

France and working as an assistant to Jean Renoir.<br />

He made his directorial debut with Ossessione<br />

in 1942.<br />

He became one of the fathers of Italian neorealism,<br />

the movement that grew out of the political<br />

turmoil and the desperate economic conditions<br />

in Italy at the end of the Second World War.<br />

REMEMBERING VISCONTI<br />

Alain Delon and Annie Girardot in Rocco and his Brothers<br />

Alain Delon in Rocco and his Brothers<br />

Although frequently drawn to more modest<br />

literary adaptations, his style and subject matter<br />

demanded an epic canvas. He found the perfect<br />

material in Lampedusa’s novel The Leopard (1963).<br />

He returned to the key historical period of the<br />

Risorgimento, in Senso (1954), again with<br />

Lancaster as Prince Fabrizio.<br />

Visconti was reunited with Lancaster for the<br />

more intimate Conversation Piece (1974) and<br />

found another worthy collaborator in Dirk<br />

Bogarde who appeared in his wallow in Nazi<br />

decadence The Damned (1969) and gave<br />

the performance of his career in Death In<br />

Venice (1971).<br />

Rocco and his Brothers (listed more fully on<br />

Page 12) starring Alain Delon, Annie Girardot<br />

and Claudia Cardinale, has been described as a<br />

modern-day Greek tragedy, especially in its<br />

depiction of the relationship between the<br />

saint-like Rocco and his brutal brother Simone,<br />

who has a promising career as a boxer, but<br />

whose life spirals out of control.<br />

Throughout his career, Visconti also directed<br />

ballet, opera and theatre productions of Camus<br />

and Tennessee Williams. Battling ill health in<br />

his final years, Visconti’s later films became<br />

increasingly decorative and operatic.<br />

VISCONTI ON SHOW<br />

An exhibition devoted to the work of the<br />

maestro and titled Luchino Visconti:<br />

The Art of Decadence will be on on the<br />

walls of Filmhouse café-bar during<br />

the Festival. It showcases the work of the<br />

students of Edinburgh College of Art and<br />

has been organised by Carlo Pirozzi and<br />

Pasquale Iannone.<br />

CLASSIC REVIVALS<br />

Rocco and His Brothers (15)<br />

Rocco e i suoi fratelli<br />

Luchino Visconti’s masterpiece follows a mother and her five sons as they abandon the poverty of southern<br />

Italy to seek a better life in Milan.<br />

The ties of blood are challenged by the struggles for work, dignity and acceptance. Matters are further<br />

complicated when the young Rocco (Alain Delon) falls in love with the same woman as his boorish,<br />

viciously possessive brother Simone (Renato Salvatori).<br />

Memorably described as “ like an opera without the arias”, this sweeping melodrama is further<br />

distinguished by the lustrous black and white cinematography of Giuseppe Rotunno who sculpts with<br />

light in a way that would influence Scorsese’s Raging Bull. A recent restoration by Cineteca di Bologna<br />

allows the film to glow with a fresh intensity.<br />
