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 />

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 />

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 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 />

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 />

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

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 />

maestro and titled Luchino Visconti:<br />
The Art of Decadence will be on on the<br />

students of Edinburgh College of Art and<br />
has been organised by Carlo Pirozzi and<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 />
