Welcome!
It gives me great pleasure to present the
Lavazza Italian Film Festival, now in its 9th
exciting year.
It has been a busy year on the festival
circuit and one of the best years for Italian
film that I can remember. From the vibrant
Rome International Film Festival to the
more established events such as the
prestigious Berlinale and the world-famous
Cannes Film Festival, I have selected the
best contemporary Italian Films as well as
a selection of Italian Classics from the
archives of the Cinecittà Studios in Rome.
The Opening Night Selection, Her Whole
Life Ahead (Tutta La Vita Davanti) is a
comedy I’m sure will delight; Il Divo, by
Cannes favourite Paolo Sorrentino, took
home the Jury Prize this year in Cannes
and is a must-see film; also direct from
Cannes is Francesco Munzi’s The Rest of
the Night (Il Resto Della Notte) a biting
snapshot of Italian middle-class wealth and
immigrant violence; and patrons that loved
Silvio Soldini’s audience favourite Bread
and Tulips (Pane e Tulipani) from IFF2000
shouldn’t miss Soldini’s new film Days and
Clouds (Giorni e Nuvole).
The line-up for this year’s festival is the
best yet, reflecting the widely-reported
resurgence of Italian cinema. Please join
me at the cinemas to indulge in other
Italian experiences: Aperitivi presented
by Peroni, Lavazza coffee or a glass of
fine wine before or after your film!
What is more quintessentially Italian than
great cinema? It’s one of many wonderful
gifts Italy has shared with the world. Once
again, Lavazza is proud to be a major sponsor
of this year’s feast of truly wonderful films
that capture the Italian soul.
In 1895, when Italian cinema was just
beginning to flourish, Luigi Lavazza began
roasting coffee. Four generations later, the
same passion and expertise continues with
this now global family business; matching the
awareness and growth of Italian cinema. Two
wonderful gifts of Italy – coffee and cinema;
we hope you enjoy both!

It is my great pleasure to welcome also
this year the Italian Film Festival, organized
with passion by Palace Cinemas in all the
major cities of Australia.
Both as Ambassador of Italy and a keen
cinema-goer, I am particularly fond of this
yearly event, that has been growing during
the years and has become one of the most
important cultural events on Italy in this
country.
Cinema has always been an immediate
window for people to access the language,
culture and traditions of distant land. And
this is all the more important as more than
900,000 Australian can claim an Italian
background. The Festival connects for
several weeks these two parts of Italy at
the opposite ends of the world.
I invite you to participate in the 2008
Lavazza Italian Film Festival, sharing the
passion, energy and colour of Italy on the
big screen.
Buon divertimento e Viva il Cinema Italiano!

TUTTA LA VITA DAVANTI
Open
in
Night g
!
This year’s acclaimed opening night selection is
this irresistible new film from Paolo Virzi, a sharp and
witty satire that centres on the lives, loves and struggles
of the employees of an Italian call centre.
Marta (Isabella Ragonese in a star-making turn) is a brilliant
philosophy graduate who can’t manage to secure work in her chosen
field. A chance encounter with a young mother (Micaela Ramozzotti)
leads her to a part-time position as a telemarketer. Her new workplace,
led by the outrageous Daniela (Sabrina Ferilli), fosters a distinctly
American style of motivational exercises and cutthroat sales
techniques, but incongruously, Marta takes to her new job like a fish to
water…
“Hands down
one of the BEST
ITALIAN COMEDIES
in recent years.”
Variety
Lavazza Italian Film Festival ‘08
On the surface, with its surreal juxtaposition of motivational
psychology and reality-show feel, Virzì's vision is more whimsical
comedy than biting reportage. But like other masters of the popular
‘commedia all'italiana’ genre, Virzì's underlying critique of Italian
society pulls no punches.

HER WHOLE LIFE AHEAD

AT A GLANCE
COLPO D'OCCHIO
2008 | 110' | Digital
Director: Sergio Rubini
Cast: Sergio Rubini, Riccardo Scamarcio, Vittoria Puccini
Set in Italy's treacherous art world, popular
actor/writer/director Sergio Rubini’s big-budget box-office
success AT A GLANCE is a game of cat and mouse between a powerful art critic and
the sculptor who steals his girlfriend.
When art critic Pietro Lulli (Rubini) brings his significantly younger companion
Gloria (a luminously beautiful Vittoria Puccini) to an exhibition, he doesn’t realise
that her admiration of the work by struggling sculptor Adrian (Riccardo Scamarcio)
will have such a lasting effect on her. The two immediately hit it off and Gloria soon
becomes Adrian’s companion, his muse and his agent. Thanks to Lulli’s influence,
Adrian has his first taste of success and thus decides to let himself be completely
guided by the critic. But a shadow hangs over the young man’s rise to fame...
In this glamorous portrayal of the Roman art world, Rubini relishes his role as the
scheming critic, and Scamarcio (My Brother is an Only Child) proves he is more than
just a heart-throb. Not screening in Adelaide or Canberra.
BLACK AND WHITE
BIANCO E NERO
2008 | 104' | 35mm
Director: Cristina Comencini
Cast: Fabio Volo, Ambra Angiolini, Aissa Maiga, Eriq Ebouanay,
Katia Ricciarelli, Franco Branciaroli, Anna Bonaiuto.
5
Two years after her Oscar nomination for Don't Tell (IFF2007), Cristina Comencini
has opted for humour rather than melodrama in examining modern problems in her
native Italy. BLACK AND WHITE, her ninth film (and first since the death of her father
Luigi, a beacon of Italian cinema), is a contemporary social comedy in the tradition
of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?".
Elena (from Saturn in Opposition IFF2007) and Carlo (Fabio Volo) seem happily
married, though mismatched. Elena comes from a wealthy family and is dedicated to
her job, while husband Carlo, a computer engineer, comes from a more modest
background. One day Carlo meets Nadine (Aissa Maiga), the dissatisfied wife of one
of Elena's colleagues (Eriq Ebouaney). Their love at first sight wreaks havoc upon their
marriages and, more importantly, brings to light a series of prejudices and clichés from
the betrayed spouses.
Defying political correctness, BLACK AND WHITE is a comic look at infidelity, bigotry
and the beginnings of racial integration.
2007 | 130' | 35mm
Director: Angelo Longoni
Cast: Alessio Boni, Paolo Briguglia, Elena Sofia Ricci,
Jordi Mollà, Claire Kleim, Benjamin Sadler, Paolo Giovannucci.
CARAVAGGIO is a mesmerizing and beguiling new biopic about the master
Renaissance painter that captures the man as well as his work.
CARAVAGGIO
Alessio Boni (best known for his role as the troubled younger brother in The Best of
Youth, IFF 2003) plays Michelangelo “Michele” Merisi, born into a humble family in
the town of Caravaggio (from which the future artist would derive his professional
moniker). Cursed with a violent temper, Michele becomes as well known for his
brawling as for his art, frequenting the seamier side of Rome and using its
prostitutes and thieves as models, even for his religious paintings. Eventually, his art
creates a fervent group of admirers, while his personal life establishes an equally
dedicated battery of enemies…
Director Angelo Longoni (Have No Fear, IFF 2005) sets up a complex and revealing
interplay between the artist and his era, ably assisted by three–time Oscar-winning
cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now), Boni gives a great, full-bodied
performance as the street fighter and father of one of the most remarkable bodies of
work in the entire artistic canon.
CARDIOFITNESS
In this light-hearted romantic comedy based on the novel by Alessandra
Montrucchio, an irrepressible passion blossoms between Stefania (Nicoletta
Romanoff), a college graduate in her twenties in search of work, and Stefano
(Federico Costantini), a teenager and baseball enthusiast, their age difference
evoking bafflement and scepticism among their friends and relatives.
Stefania works out at the gym on a regular basis with her two best girlfriends, Cecilia
and Ilaria. They laugh and joke about life’s frustrations while peddling away their
stress on exercise bicycles. One evening, Stefania spots Stefano as he is being
shown around the gym. He has hurt his knee while playing baseball and needs to
start rehab therapy to repair its strength before an important match.
For Stefania, it is love at first sight and he has feelings for her too but are their
feelings strong enough to withstand their own fears as well as societal pressure?
Not screening in Adelaide or Canberra.

DAYS AND CLOUDS
GIORNO E NUVOLE
Popular writer-director Silvio Soldini (Bread and Tulips IFF2000,
Agatha and the Storm IFF2004) returns with another beautifully made
gem to savour. This thoughtful and absorbing drama brilliantly renders
an increasingly familiar nightmare: an upper middle-class family
whose comfortable lives suddenly disappear.
The day after a lavish birthday party, Elsa (Margherita Buy) discovers
that her husband Michele (Antonio Albanese) was out-manouvered by
his former partners, and pushed out of the company he helped found.
He hasn't worked in months. Soon, the altered circumstances begin to
bite, causing a schism in the marriage, and further strain with their 20year-old daughter (Alba Rohrwacher)…
Buy, one of Italy's greatest actresses, is simply magnificent in the lead
role in this honest and ultimately optimistic film about commitment.
Indeed, the cast is uniformly great.

DON'T THINK ABOUT IT
NON PENSARCI
DON'T THINK ABOUT IT is a delightful, warm hearted family drama
about a world-weary prodigal son who returns home to find that he
needs to take care of everyone and everything.
Stefano (embodied with boyish charm by Valerio Mastandrea, last
seen in The Caiman, IFF2007) is a classically trained, former rock ‘n’
roll star, now facing a crumbling career and personal life. At 36, he
decides to take stock, and returns to his family, who run a fruit bottling
plant. Unfortunately the family has many problems of its own and the
son finds himself in the unlikely role of trying to be a stabilising
influence, with chaotic and comic results.
Blessed with performances of real zest and quality, DON’T THINK
ABOUT IT has many beautifully rendered scenes that are perfectly
paced and timed to comic effect. Set largely in and around Rimini, the
film has a pleasantly unfamiliar locale and a cleverly wrought,
enjoyably positive climax.

THE FEAST
L’ABBUFFATA
From Official Selection at the Rome Film Festival comes Mimmo
Calopresti's ensemble charmer, the tale of three young men with a movie
camera who dream of bringing a local Calabrian story to the big screen.
9
The seaside town of Diamante in Calabria is the kind of place where time
seems to stand still. Bored youngster Gabriele (Paolo Briguglia), along
with friends Nicola (Lele Nucera) and Marco (Lorenzo Di Ciaccia),
interview family and neighbors in search of a story good enough to film.
They find it in Aunt Caterina (Lucia Ragni), who fell in love with a distant
cousin when they were teens just before he emigrated to America, and for
whose return she is still waiting. Neri (Diego Abatantuono), a former film
director now living in Diamante is no help, so they decide to travel to
Rome, taking Marco’s sister Elena (Elena Bouryka) with them. They meet
Amelie (Valerie Bruni Tedeschi), who seems to be interested in their film,
and tells them she will mention it to Gerard, her fiance, who actually turns
out to be Gerard Depardieu, the renowned French actor! Could this be the
turning point for them?
Winsomely seductive, and shot in the stunning southern region of Italy
that Calopresti left as a child, this film is a love letter to his roots.

THE GIRL BY THE LAKE
LA RAGAZZA DEL LAGO
In this engrossing thriller that swept this year’s David di Donatello Awards,
an idyllic town in the Italian Dolomites is shocked by the murder of young
and beautiful Anna, her body found naked on the side of a lake with no signs
of sexual assault or a struggle. Inspector Giovanni Sanzio (Toni Servillo) is
called in from the provincial capital to solve the crime, but the victim proves
as mysterious as the crime itself.
Suspicion first falls on village simpleton Mario, then transfers to Anna's layabout boyfriend, Roberto, and even her father, Davide, whose home movies
of his daughter pay more attention to her form than would seem appropriate.
Indeed, the more Inspector Sanzio and local cop Siboldi (Fausto Sciarappa)
dig, the more questions arise.
Not screening in Perth.
WINNER OF 10 DAVID DI DONATELLO AWARDS

WINNER OF 2 VENICE FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS 2007
Critic's Week: Isvema Award (Francesco Pasinetti) & SNGCI Award: Best Actor (Tony Servillo)
Servillo, so terrific in The Consequences
of Love (IFF2006), received a Best Actor
award at the 2007 Venice Film Festival for
his work in the film. He gets completely
under the skin of the inspector, radiating
depth while maintaining a hardened exterior.
This must-see, multi award-winning film will
keep you guessing until the end.

GOOD MORNING, HEARTACHE
(RIPRENDIMI)
2008 | 93' | 35mm
Director: Anna Negri
Cast: Alba Caterina Rohrwacher, Marco Foschi, Valentina
Lodovini, Alessandro Averone, Leonardo Bono, Damiano Bono
Anna Negri’s amusing and bittersweet drama premiered at Sundance earlier this year
and features hot new acting talents Alba Rohrwacher and Marco Foschi.
The action centres on a documentary team who set out to capture the effects being
a ‘temp actor’ has on personal lives. Their focus is on a young couple, actor Giovanni
(Foschi) and freelance film-editor Lucia (a radiant Rohrwacher) who live together in
Central Rome with their one-year-old son. What these documentarians don’t expect
is to stumble headlong into a crisis situation, as Giovanni, with cameras rolling,
announces over a romantic dinner that he’s leaving Lucia… And as the filmmakers
continue to follow the separated couple around, they find themselves increasingly
drawn into the messy & raw emotional drama being played out before them – soon
finding themselves in the middle and in over their heads.
GOOD MORNING, HEARTACHE is a lot of fun, with much to say about the fickleness
of young men and women today, and is ultimately an affecting tale about how a
couple’s break-up affects the lives of those around them.
HOTEL MEINA
2007 | 110' | 35mm
Director: Carlo Lizzani
Cast: Benjamin Sadler, Federico Costantini, Ursula Buschhorn.
11
Based on a book by Marco Nozza, HOTEL MEINA is the
story of a group of Jewish families who were among holidaymakers at a luxury resort
when Italy signed its armistice with the Allied Forces.
Sudden joy that the war is over is quashed when an SS unit led by Commandant
Krassler (Benjamin Sadler) marches in, takes over the Jewish owned hotel where
they are staying and orders them to be quartered on the fourth floor. The non-Jewish
guests are allowed to continue their vacations and many do so rationalizing that they
have already paid and the war is over so surely everything will be all right. So begins
a week of waiting, terror and hope, and whilst an anti-Nazi sympathizer attempts to
orchestrate an escape for the Jewish families, Krassler smilingly imposes his
ruthless authority…
Veteran director Carlo Lizzani fills proceedings with considerable suspense and his
masterful imagery leaves a powerful and lasting impression.

IL DIVO
Direct from winning the Grand Jury prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival,
IL DIVO is a masterpiece for maverick auteur Sorrentino (The
Consequences of Love, IFF2004) and is a true festival highlight.
Eighty-nine-year-old Giulio Andreotti is synonymous with Italian politics
(2008 marks his uninterrupted 62nd year as a parliamentarian!). Though
less of a topical figure in Italy than current prime minister Silvio Berlusconi,
Andreotti is even more deeply branded on the nation's consciousness.
WINNER - Jury Prize
Cannes Film Festival 2008
NOMINEE - Golden Palm
Award-winning film maker Paolo Sorrentino's original and witty political
opera tries to anatomise the character and explain the longevity of a man
who has been prime minister three times and has emerged unscathed from
no less than 26 separate court cases on charges that include corruption
and Mafia involvement. The film’s focal point is Toni Servillo's delicious
take on Andreotti, grotesque and subtly powerful at the same time. Around
him revolve a series of enjoyable minor characters, from Carlo
Buccirosso's frisky Paolo Cirino Pomicino (a fellow DC politician and
member of Andreotti's inner circle) to Andreotti's wife Giulia – a small role
that is leant tremendous depth by Anna Bonaiuto's nuanced performance.
Moments of laugh-out-loud humour abound – mostly associated with
authentic Andreotti one-liners.

LESSONS IN CHOCOLATE
LEZIONI DI CIOCCOLATO
2007 | 98' | Digital
Directed by: Claudio Cupellini
Cast: Luca Argentero, Violante Placido, Neri Marcorè, Hassan
Shapi, Josefia Forlì, Monica Scattini, Francesco Pannofino.
Winner of Best Comedy and Best Actress (Violante Placido) at the 2007 Monte Carlo
Comedy Film Festival, LESSONS IN CHOCOLATE is a fresh and delightful comedy
where humour and pathos are mixed in the right proportions.
Mattia (Luca Argentero), a building contractor in Perugia on a promising career path,
is about to close the biggest deal of his professional life when his illegally-hired
worker Kamal (Hassani Shapi) is badly injured when he falls off some scaffolding.
Karim threatens to sue him unless Mattia takes his place in an advanced chocolate
making course! There, Mattia meets the model student Cecilia (Placido), who for her
part, is anything but indifferent to his charm.
Among laughs, misunderstandings and mouth-watering recipes, Mattia will discover
a way to bring his and Kamal's disparate cultures together while finding love and life
at the same time. Not screening in Adelaide or Canberra.

IO, L’ALTRO
2007 | 80' | 35mm
Director: Mohsen Melliti
Cast: Raoul Bova, Giovanni Martorana, Mario Pupella,
Samia Zibidi, Lina Besrat Assefa, Davide Lo Verde.
Moshen Melliti's astounding feature, a definite product of the post-9/11 era, seems at first
to be a buddy flick about two simple fishermen but soon evolves into a gripping thriller.
ME, THE OTHER
Youssef (Giovanni Martorana) arrived in Sicily twenty years ago to take a job on the
same fishing boat as local boy Giuseppe (Raoul Bova), the two have been friends,
and are now business partners who spend their days working the waters of the
southern Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunisia together. One day, after setting
sail, Giuseppe hears on the radio that a search has launched for a terrorist with the
same name as Youssef – and inexplicably - suspicion immediately takes hold. They
suddenly detect in each other something sinister, and what once seemed like minor
character differences begin to develop into powerful opposing forces.
Well acted and tightly directed, ME, THE OTHER crosses the divide between drama
and thriller with ease. Despite all the action occurring within the confines of a boat,
the film-canvas moves far beyond the sea's horizon.
PIANO SOLO
Based on a novel by Walter Veltroni, the perceptive new
film from award-winning director Riccardo Milani tells the passionate and haunting
true story of jazz pianist Luca Flores.
One of the brightest musical talents to emerge in Italy in the past few decades,
PIANO SOLO follows Luca (Kim Rossi Stuart, The Keys to the House IFF2005) from
his boyhood in Africa to his years playing with such greats such as Chet Baker &
Dave Holland. But sadly, as he develops his prodigious, spellbinding talent at music
school in Florence and discovers jazz, his loved ones watch helplessly as he retreats
further and further into his personal darkness.
Rossi Stuart is masterful as Luca, capturing not just his artistry, loves, anxieties and
madness, but also, the essential enigma that defined this great artist and that continues
to fuel his popularity as a cult figure in Italy more than ten years after his death.

THE REST OF THE NIGHT
IL RESTO DELLA NOTTE
From ‘Directors’ Fortnight’ at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival , THE REST OF
THE NIGHT, is a biting and poignant drama from Francesco Munzi, who
displays a level of deft sophistication and power only hinted at with his
debut prize-winner Saimir.
15
In the wealthy industrialized north, Silvana Bourin (Sandra Ceccarelli), the
depressed wife of a provincial industrialist, persuades herself that Maria
(Laura Vasiliu from 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days), their young Romanian
maid, is stealing valuable objects around the villa. With no proof and
against her husband’s wishes, Silvana decides to fire Maria without notice.
Maria finds shelter with her
former boyfriend, Ionut
(Constantin Lupescu). The
young man has just been
released from prison and
now shares a hovel with his
younger teenaged brother,
Victor (Victor Cosma) who is
not happy to see her.
Beautifully understated, and building to a tremendously tense conclusion,
Munzi tells his story of Romanians struggling to get ahead in northern Italy,
playing with the image of an immigrant community, gradually uncovering
the roots of the stereotype while here also stripping bare the parallel world
of the hypocritical hosts.

This taut new film from award-winning director Vincenzo Marra

origins has enormous ambition that isolates him from his colleagues
and his background. Initially aspiring to climb the career ladder, once
he has come face to face with corruption he realises that he can set his
sights much higher. In his unstoppable social climbing, he is helped by
Caterina (Fanny Ardant), a beautiful, cultured and well-connected
gallery owner. Before long, Fillipo is mingling in high society and
rubbing shoulders with the mighty. But will his reach exceed his
grasp?

SORRY IF I CALL YOU LOVE
SCUSA MA TI CHIAMO AMORE
This number-one smash-hit romantic comedy from writer/director
Federico Moccia stars heart-throb Raoul Bova (Facing Windows,
IFF2003) as a young-at-heart, thirty-something man who becomes
entangled with a young brunette.
Alex (Bova) has just been left by Elena (Veronica Logan), his longtime girlfriend, without a word of explanation. He works as a
copywriter at an advertising agency and is also under threat there by
an ambitious new colleague. On the same day he meets Niki
(Michelle Quattrociocche), a 17-year-old girl who is beautiful, funny
and intelligent. She is the girl of his dreams but is he ready?
17
Based on Moccio’s own bestselling novel (which sold over 800,000
copies in Italy), SORRY IF I CALL YOU LOVE is ultimately about
finding the courage to follow your heart.

SPEAK TO ME OF LOVE
PARLAMI D’AMORE
Following older brother Gabriele's lead, Silvio Muccino makes the leap
to directing with SPEAK TO ME OF LOVE, a new romance based on his
own novel, and a huge, number one box office success in Italy earlier
this year.
Sasha (Muccino), the charming 20 year-old son of drug addicts, meets
Nicole (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón), a married, dissatisfied older French
woman who lives in Rome with her husband, when they’re both
involved in a car accident. They feel a mutual platonic attraction and
exchange phone numbers. But Sasha only has eyes for the spoiled,
unresponsive Benedetta (Carolina Crescentini), who’s a bad influence
on him, and in trying to woo her, he’s soon set for a fall…
Muccino’s directorial debut won the Young David Award at the 2008
David Di Donatello Awards. His story of love and life ultimately shows
that sometimes no matter how hard you try, you end up right back at
the beginning.

THE SWEET AND THE BITTER
IL DOLCE E L’AMARO
Luigi Lo Cascio (One Hundred Steps, IFF2000), one of the defining
actors of contemporary Italian cinema, gives one of his finest
performances in this revealing portrait of a young man’s seduction by
the Mafia that begins in the early 1980s and spans 20 years.
Gaetano Butera (Tony Gambino) sets his sights on young Saro (Lo
Cascio) when he’s just a boy, sure that he’ll make a great recruit for his
organization. Soon Saro is part of the mob’s day-to-day operations,
quickly moving up the ranks as he demonstrates his talents and gets
richly rewarded for his work. But when he’s given one brutal
assignment too many, something in him snaps - even knowing that his
‘colleagues’ don’t take such treachery lightly…
19
Director Porporati creates a disturbing study of the extent of Mafia
involvement in everyday Italian society and the normalization of a
regime of violence and corruption. Premiering at the Venice Film
Festival, THE SWEET AND THE BITTER sees the Mafia film come of
age.

THE VICEROYS
I VICERÉ
2007 | 120' | 35mm
Director: Roberto Faenza
Cast: Lucia Bosè, Alessandro Preziosi, Cristiana Capotondi,
Lando Buzzanca, Guido Caprino, Larissa Volpentesta, Franco
Branciaroli, Assumpta Serna, Sebastiano Lo Monaco
From Roberto Faenza (In The Light of the Sun, IFF2005) ‘The Viceroys’ is based on
the controversial, long-censored novel by Federico De Roberto.
In the mid 1800's, in the last years of the House of Bourbon reign in Sicily, and on
the eve of Italian reunification, the funeral of Princess Teresa brings together the
members of the Uzeda family, descendents of the Viceroys of Spain. Through the
eyes of a boy, Consalvo (Alessandro Preziosi), the last heir to the Uzeda dynasty, the
mysteries, intrigues and complex personalities of the other family members are
brought to light as they fight over the Princess’s inheritance.
Nominated for seven David Di Donatello awards, including Best Actor for veteran
Lando Buzzanca, THE VICEROYS emerges as a deeply satisfying and overtly political
film, with many contemporary resonances.
THE WALTZ
VALZER
2007 | 90' | 35mm
Director: Salvatore Maira
Cast: Valeria Solarino, Maurizio Micheli, Graziano Piazza,
Marina Rocco, Eugenio Allegri, Giuseppe Moretti
21
Salvatore Maira’s THE WALTZ is an ultra-contemporary satirical drama about
multifaceted events taking place within a ritzy Turin hotel over the course of one day.
Different stories all link back to the emotional experience of a maid who is confronted
by an ex-con she has been writing to for years, posing as his daughter. As this drama
is played out, there are shenanigans going on in the conference suite, where a group
of football team supporters are preparing to rig the results of the championship;
meanwhile, television and technology experts discuss how they can brainwash and
manipulate viewers using football coverage.
This wickedly arresting mixture of dramatic action, barbed political comment and
comic irony is made more fascinating by the director’s ambitious decision to shoot
the film in a continuous take, using cameras that literally follow the characters in and
out of rooms and from door to door, accompanied by the music of a waltz being
played by a small band in the hotel.

WILD BLOOD
SANGUEPAZZO
In WILD BLOOD – which premiered to a ten-minute standing ovation
at Cannes – Marco Tullio Giordana (The Best of Youth, IFF2003) uses
modern-day stars Monica Bellucci and Luca Zingaretti (the detective of
the hit TV series ‘Inspector Montalbano’) to portray the renowned
actors of Fascist cinema, Luisa Ferida and Osvaldo Valenti.
The heart of this film is Luisa (Bellucci), ambitious, principled and in
love with two men: seducer and gambler Osvaldo (Zingaretti), and
Golfiero (Alessio Boni), the gay director who makes her a star. With
Golfiero unattainable, Luisa and Osvaldo soon become inseparable
companions. Eventually, Golfiero joins the Resistance movement as
Osvaldo -- addicted as much to fame and his self-importance as he is
to drugs -- opportunistically allies himself with the Fascists.
François Chalais
Award
Official Selection
Giordana strikes several universal, timeless notes here: the proximity
of show business to power and the fact that celebrities are equally
loved and loathed for the very excesses that bring them fame - talent,
fearlessness or recklessness.

A
APERITIVO
PERONI
Aperitivo is a long standing Italian tradition which
brings friends together for a pre-dinner drink, simply
to sip something good, enjoy each other’s company, and
chat about the night ahead.
Served with antipasti, ranging from prosciutto to
olives, bruschette, fresh pizza and seasonal vegetables,
Aperitivo is designed to whet the appetite for the
upcoming meal. Indeed, the word “aperitivo” comes
from the Latin term “aperire” meaning opening, in this
case signifying stimulating one’s hunger.
Italy’s fashion capital, Milan, is said to be the home of
Aperitivo and the most sophisticated bars feature an
“Aperitivo time” between 6 and 8 in the evening. Here
you’ll find a vibrant crowd enjoying “la dolce vita” as
only the Italians can.
The authentically Italian beer’s crisp and refreshing
character, coupled with its delicate flavour, make it the
perfect accompaniment for Aperitivo.
Peroni is hosting Aperitivo Peroni in select bars around
Australia and you can experience it during the Italian
Film Festival.
Come and enjoy Aperitivo Peroni just like Italians do
everyday between 6 and 8 during the Italian Film Festival.

2008 Retrospective
The Cinecittà Selection

Not screening in Adelaide. Canberra or Perth.
ALL THE FAULT OF PARADISE
TUTTA COLPA DEL PARADISO
Director: Francesco Nuti 1985 | 91’ | 35mm
Francesco Nuti stars as Romeo Casamonica, a thief just released
from a five-year prison sentence who returns to his old haunts to look for his
wife and son. The neighbourhood has changed beyond recognition, his wife is
nowhere to be seen, and only after outsmarting a social worker does he find out the
truth about his son.
AMARCORD (M) Director: Federico Fellini - 1974 | 125' | 35mm
Fellini remembers his home town of Rimini in the fascist pre WWII
days. This coming of age tale exhibits all the comedy, magic,
foolishness and grotesque behavior that you could expect. Fellini
clearly has deep affection for the people of this seaside village,
warts and all, and communicates it through episodic visual anecdotes which are
seen as if through the mists of a favourite dream.
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1974.
THE ANONYMOUS VENETIAN ANONIMO VENEZIANO
Director: Enrico Maria Salerno 1970 | 91’| 35mm
25
Winner of the 1970 David di Donatello for Best Actress (Florinda
Bolkan) and the ‘Special David’ Award. Enrico Maria Salerno’s
directorial debut enjoyed great success on its Italian release. The
story revolves around a Venetian musician affected by an incurable
disease who has a rendezvous with his ex-wife who is now living
with another man in another city. Set in the stunning canals of Venice, this film is
one for the romantics.
BANDITS OF ORGOSOLO BANDITI A ORGOSOLO
Director: Vittorio De Seta 1961 | 98' | 35mm
Vittorio De Seta's first feature film, hailed as a masterpiece on its
release, was acted entirely by an amateur cast of Sardinian peasants. It
tells the story of a shepherd who is wrongfully accused of criminal behavior. He runs
away, taking his flock with him but in a self-fulfilling prophecy, the untimely death of
his sheep pushes him into a real life of crime. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see it
in all its glory on 35mm print.
LA VIACCIA 1961 | 103' | 35mm Director: Mauro Bolognini
Nominated for a Golden Palm at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival,
this film is the story of the death of a wealthy patriarch in 1885
that sets off an inter-family power struggle. Son Ferdinando buys
out his other relatives in order to gain full control over the dead
man's property but Ferdinando's country-bumpkin nephew
Amerigo holds out. Amerigo's stance is weakened when he heads for the city and
meets prostitute Bianca (Claudia Cardinale). To support her in the manner in
which she is accustomed, Amerigo steals from his uncle. Disgraced in the eyes of
his family, Amerigo decides to stay near his beloved Bianca by becoming a
bouncer in her brothel.
THE MAGNIFICENT CUCKOLD
THE LOVERS
IL MAGNIFICO CORNUTO
Director: Antonio Pietrangeli 1965 | 117' | 35mm
This uninhibited Italian comedy follows a philandering businessman
Andrea (Ugo Tognazzi) who is inordinately proud of his hyperactive
libido. Claudia Cardinale is his sexy wife, which makes one wonder why
he would ever want to stray. Be that as it may, Cardinale decides to take
revenge on her roving hubby by launching an affair of her own.
MARRIAGE ITALIAN-STYLE (M) MATRIMONIO ALL'ITALIANA
SERAFINO
Director: Pietro Germi 1969 | 96’ | 35mm
From veteran filmmaker Pietro Germi comes Serafino, a comic
romance about a young shepherd who finds joy in the simple,
pleasures of life and finds modern society unnecessary. Serafino
(Adriano Celentano) takes frequent and amorous forays into the
village below where he experiences all the pleasures his solitude
cannot offer until he is drafted into the military. This proves difficult for this nonadaptive protagonist who is dismissed just as fast as he was signed up when he
fails to adapt to the rigid discipline and urban surroundings.
Director: Vittorio De Sica 1964 | 102' | 35mm
Vittorio De Sica's fourth collaboration with Sophia Loren, in which she
plays a lusty prostitute. Soon to be married, Marcello learns that his
long time mistress is on her deathbed. He rushes to her side, where in
a series of flashbacks, we see the couple's twenty year relationship in
detail. He offers to marry her but when she recovers miraculously he
realises that her illness was only a ruse--forcing Filomena to pull deeper from her box
of tricks to catch her man. Loren's great comic timing in the zippy script plus the
charm of co-star Marcello Mastroianni lifts it from titillation to deft and amusing farce.
26
THE STOLEN CHILDREN (M)
IL LADRO DI BAMBINI
Director: Gianni Amelio 1992 | 108' | 35mm
Director Gianni Amelio utilised non-professional actors and
authentic locations to create this uncompromising look at modern
Italy. Sicilian siblings Rosetta (Valentina Scalici), 11, and Luciano
(Giuseppe Ieracitano), 9, live with their destitute mother who is
arrested for prostituting Rosetta. Carabiniere Antonio Criaco
(Enrico Lo Verso) is assigned to escort them to a foster home in a mission that
appears to be simple, yet, years of abuse forbid the siblings to trust or obey Antonio.
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival.
THEY CALL ME TRINITY
LO CHIAMAVANO TRINITÀ
Director: E.B. Clucher 1970 | 109' | 35mm
See Terence Hill as the drifting Trinity and Bud Spencer as the
horse-thieving, sheriff-pretending Bambino. Here is the obvious
inspiration and the film that allowed Mel Brooks to make Blazing
Saddles. Enzo Barboni's classic spaghetti western spoof features
one of the weirdest scores to feature in an Italian Western by
Franco Micalizzi. And how can one go past the tag line: He Was On the Side of
the Law and Order. He Was On the Side of Crime and Chaos. He Was On Any
Side That Would Have Him.
THREE BROTHERS
TRE FRATELLI
Director: Francesco Rosi 1981 | 113' | 35mm
27
When the matriarch of an Italian family dies, the husband brings
his three boys back to their farmhouse. Raffaele (Philippe Noiret)
is a judge who fears being executed over the politically unsettling
case over which he is presiding. Rocco (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) is
quite religious and dreams of helping troubled teenagers. Nicola
(Michele Placido) is a worker involved in a labour dispute as well as a failed
marriage. Each of the men grieves in his own way, while also wrestling with the
other emotional issues that are pressing on them.
WE ALL LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH
C'ERAVAMO TANTO AMATI Director: Ettore Scola 1975 | 136' | 35mm
Stefania Sandrelli stars in this comedy as the longtime object of
three friends' affections. The film traces the interrelationships of
those friends over a period of thirty years, beginning with their
involvement in the wartime Resistance. In addition to freely
quoting from La Dolce Vita, director Ettore Scola evokes memories
of Fellini's I Vitteloni. As a bonus, the film offers affectionate homages to several
other neorealist filmmakers, including Rossellini and De Sica.
Winner the 1975 Cesar (French Oscar) for Best Foreign Language Film.
