OPENing night GALA
Perfetti sconosciuti
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
PERFECT STRANGERS
“Let’s play a game then.
We’ll all put our phones on
the table…”
Not just a box office hit but also
a national phenomenon, Paolo
Genovese’s latest dramedy has got the
whole of Italy asking: How well do we
really know those closest to us?
Fuelled by a fiendishly clever screenplay
and an all-star cast, Perfect Strangers
gathers a group of good friends
around the dining table – three
30-something couples and a bachelor
– where one suggests they make all
SMSs and phone calls public across
the course of the night. The reason: to
prove they have nothing to hide.
What seems like an innocent
experiment results in some eyeopening disclosures – even a swapping
of phones in a desperate concealment
attempt – that shows how performance
dominates our public lives.
As Genovese says, “Smartphones have
become a fundamental object, perhaps
the only one that we always carry with
us – our ‘black box’.” Never has the time
been so ripe to offer such a cinematic
take on a classic morality conundrum.

CLOSing night CLASSIC
Vacanze romane
ROMAN HOLIDAY
NEW DIGITAL RESTORATION
Audiences are invited to fall in love
again with the film that sent Audrey
Hepburn’s star soaring. But far from
just being one of the best romantic
comedies of all time – a claim that can
be confidently made in this case –
Roman Holiday is a giddy valentine to
Rome.
Living a life of privilege and boredom,
Princess Ann (Audrey Hepburn)
skips out on her royal duties to enjoy
some time as an everyday girl. As luck
would have it, she falls into the arms of
journalist Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck)
who, upon learning her identity, sees
an opportunity for an exclusive. But he
doesn’t bet on romance.
Amid the laughs and screwball antics,
Ann and Joe take in all the sights of
Rome – from the Trevi Fountain to the
Colosseum – in “a regal and highly
illegal scoot-around” on the back of a
Vespa.
Only the hardest heart will come out
of the cinema not wearing a grin after
seeing this sublime restoration of a
Hollywood classic.

Rocco e i suoi fratelli
WORLD PREMIERE
ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS
NEW DIGITAL RESTORATION
Thanks to the tireless efforts of film
legend Martin Scorsese in preserving
our cinema history, Visconti’s epic
of gritty social realism and almost
operatic melodrama returns to
celluloid glory at this year’s LIFF.
One of the Big Three of Italian
film releases from 1960 (alongside
Antonioni’s L’avventura and Fellini’s La
dolce vita), Rocco and His Brothers is
a cataclysmic family saga charting the
desperate attempts of impoverished
Southerners to seek a better future
in the Industrial North of Milan. The
stories of the five fratelli as they fall
victim to corrupt forces are elegantly
steered to an explosive finale that is
sure to still leave audiences reeling.
Featuring a score by Nino Rota,
an impossibly handsome cast led
by matinee-idol Alain Delon and
newcomer Claudia Cardinale, Rocco
and His Brothers is nothing short of
a majestic cinema experience. Two
previously censored scenes have been
incorporated into this restoration
offering an opportunity to see the film
like never before.

THE SPACE BETWEEN
Pioneering new ground as the
first Australian-Italian feature coproduction is writer-director Ruth
Borgobello’s touching sensory delight,
The Space Between, making its world
premiere at LIFF.
Marco (Flavio Parenti) is a 35 year-old
ex-chef who has given up his career
and any sense of hope to return to
Udine in Northern Italy to nurse his
ailing father. Even when offered a
job at a restaurant in Melbourne, he
declines using his father as the excuse.
When tragedy strikes, the only
glimmer of joy arrives in the form of
Olivia (Maeve Dermody), a spirited
Australian chasing her dream of
working in design while on a family
mission in Udine. Against the stunning
vineyards, rugged mountains and
blue Adriatic of Friuli-Venezia Giulia,
these two very different people find
themselves at a crossroads that will
change their lives forever.
The Space Between is a celebration
of the Italian spirit of la dolce vita – a
stylistically and emotionally beautiful
film appealing to the romantic in all
of us.

SPECIAL EVENT
Quo vado?
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
WHERE AM I GOING?
Not many films can boast the near
equivalent of Star Wars: The Force
Awakens’ three-week ticket sales in its
first weekend, but that’s exactly what
Where Am I Going? achieved when it
opened in Italy earlier this year. Indeed
this hilarious comedy now stands as the
highest-grossing film in Italian cinema
history, earning over 60 million Euros.
The story takes a not-so-subtle dig
at the Italian obsession of pursuing a
cushy public service job-for-life, with
a generous pension and the seeming
impossibility of termination, once
secured. Co-writer Luca Medici stars as
his much-celebrated comic character,
Checco Zalone, a middle-aged slacker
from Southern Italy who goes to great
lengths to hold onto his pen-pushing
position – even if it means being sent
to the North Pole or Africa. Love,
however, just might be his undoing…
Striking a delicious balance between
politically incorrect humour and some
very pointed cultural criticism, the
phenomenal success of Where Am
I Going? is proof that 90 minutes of
hilarity is the perfect antidote to the
world’s doom and gloom.

SWEET DREAMS
Sweet Dreams is a touching story
based on Massimo Gramellini’s
autobiographical best-seller of the
same name that explores how the
death of a mother can have a profound
effect on her young son, so profound
that it takes him half a lifetime to fully
come to terms with it.
Young Massimo (Nicolò Cabras, a
great find) is adored by his mother
(Barbara Ronchi), even though her
melancholic stares signal early on
that something’s amiss. One night,
Massimo is woken by his father’s cry,
and his mother is never seen again.
When his family ambiguously explains
that she has died of a heart attack, the
confused young boy refuses to accept
his mother’s disappearance. Cabras’
honest and wide-eyed performance
is heartbreakingly moving and the
film aptly depicts a young boy’s
experience of a life which is suddenly
consumed by this void. The confusion
that abruptly develops from his loss
persists through adulthood and as
his life forces him to deal with old
wounds he must also learn to confront
what exactly happened the night his
mother vanished.

DADDY'S GIRL
Vincenzo is a successful entrepreneur
in Milan. After becoming a widower
and having had to look after his three
children while running his business
he suddenly comes to the realisation
that his children, now in their twenties,
are proving unfit for the realities of
real life and especially unfit to receive
their inheritances. His children,
Andrea, Chiara and Matteo, live a life
of luxury but without a clue about the
responsibilities of earning a living.
Vincenzo therefore goes to great
lengths to give them a reality check by
concocting a scheme that ultimately
sends them to his family home in Puglia
as fugitives running from the law. To
survive, Chiara, Matteo and Andrea will
have to start doing something they've
never done before: work.

Renzo (Raoul Bova, Do You See Me?)
is a down-to-earth farmer; charming,
rational and practical. Working and
living on a farm in the remote village
of Apulia, he meets Guia (Liz Solari),
an elegant journalist at a prestigious
fashion magazine, who has travelled
to see his farm, which she has just
inherited.
Guia drives a convertible, travels by
private jet and lives between Milan
and Paris. Now she finds herself
hopelessly drawn into local town life
and its carousel of unique characters,
including Renzo the farmer, an avantgarde bartender, aspiring priest Pino, a
Latin scholar and notary, a butcher also
involved in real estate, Celestina the
cow and many others.
Falling head-over-heels for Renzo,
Guia realises the only thing that’s
been missing from her life is true
love. Caught between her high-flying
job and the romance that has always
evaded her, Guia is a step away from
happiness but has no idea how to get
there. This diverting romantic comedy,
in Opening Night director Paolo
Genovese’s capable hands, is a heartwarming ensemble piece featuring
many of Italy’s finest actors.

FIORE
Claudio Giovannesi’s Italian prison
drama follows the story of young
and conflicted Daphne (mesmerising
newcomer Daphne Scoccia) who,
after being criminally convicted for
robbery, must adapt to a new lifestyle
in a juvenile prison. In prison Daphne
is mainly ostracised by the other girls
but she soon finds comfort through
her secret relationship with Josh,
whom she meets across a fence in the
separate male ward. Their relationship
is not allowed in the prison so they
exchange clandestine letters, brief
glances and conversations through the
fence that separates them. Through
her romantic relationship with Josh and
her new life in prison Daphne is finally
able to discover herself, but can her
relationship with Josh survive beyond
prison life?
Fiore’s hard-hitting social commentary
and the socio-realism that resonates
throughout is likely attributed to the
filmmakers spending four months at a
juvenile prison in Rome and the film’s
use of several non-professional actors,
many who were previously imprisoned.

LIKE CRAZY
Filmmaker Paolo Virzì’s enviable talent
for dialogue shines brightly in this
excellent ‘dramedy’ about two very
different women who go on a road-trip
of Thelma and Louise proportions.
Beatrice (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) and
Donatella (Micaela Ramazzotti) meet in
a psychiatric institution. While Beatrice
is a brash, unhinged chatterbox; the
institute’s newcomer, Donatella, is
fragile and withdrawn. Still, Beatrice
seeks out friendship with this punkish
introvert and, during day release
at a nursery, they board a bus and
commence their girls-only adventure.
Steeped in saturated visuals that
perfectly reflect the warmth of a
Tuscan summer sun, Like Crazy
avoids the pitfalls of other films of its
ilk, carefully retaining its tonal and
thematic balance. The chuckles and
tears keep coming in equal measures
from start right through to finish.
Like Crazy, which was unveiled at
Cannes in May this year, was the
most-awarded film at the 2016 Nastro
d’Argento Awards (Italian National
Syndicate of Journalists Awards) where
it collected five Silver Ribbons.

Lorenzo, Blu and Antonio are three
teenagers in a small town. For three
unique reasons, they are all outsiders.
Antonio is a key player for his basketball
team, but off the court he is excluded
by his teammates and bullied by his
peers. Blu has just moved back to

she gets a reminder that her sexual
exploits are known and condemned
by all thanks to vulgar graffiti on the
walls. Then there’s Lorenzo who joins
the class halfway through the academic
year. He’s 15, gay and has recently been
adopted. He goes against the grain in
every way but most noticeably in how
he dresses: eccentric and colourful.
In his imagination he sees himself as a
star despite the homophobic insults he
receives from the moment he arrives
at his new school. Antonio, Blu and
Lorenzo quickly become best friends
and find in their friendship the strength
to fend off insults from the school bullies.
Reminiscent of 1960s New Wave

Kiss - as based on writer/director Ivan

imagination, and the consequence of
honesty.

OPPOSITES ATTRACT
Reminding us never to forget about
the romantic side of life is Max Croci’s
rom-com set in Rome and oozing with
Italian passion.
Somewhat of a modern-day Cary
Grant, Stefano (Luca Argentero, The
Legendary Giulia, LIFF 15) is also a
couples’ therapist. On the other hand,
Claudia (Sarah Felberbaum, Viva Italy,
LIFF 13) is a divorce lawyer, single
mum of a pre-adolescent boy and very
much the strong, independent woman.
They both live and work in the same
building, on the same floor.
Immediately apparent is the mutual
feeling of aversion and attraction
between the two. On top of that, there
is a professional rivalry as they start
seeing each other’s clients. Against
all predictions, these polar opposites
feel that unmistakable plucking of oldfashioned heartstrings whether they
like it or not.

Countdown (2012). Opposites
Attract is his debut feature.
Giulia's world is an ancient one,
suspended in time and built on rigour
and sacred texts, which fiercely
excludes anyone who doesn't belong
to it. Libero's world is that which is
inhabited by everyone else: by those
who make mistakes, those who make
do as they seek other prospects, and
those who love unconditionally.
When Giulia (played by Sara
Serraiocco, Salvo LIFF13, Chlorine
LIFF15), meets Libero (played by
Michele Riondino, Wondrous Bocaccio
LIFF15), she discovers there may be
another destiny awaiting her, one she
can choose for herself. Theirs is a pure
and inevitable love story, as the two
young people embark on an intense
period in their lives together, a choice
that leads to Giulia being completely
cut off from the religious world she
belongs to.
This deeply moving film from Marco

ANTONIA
A sumptuous cinematic portrait of an
under-appreciated artist, Antonia takes
us to 1930s Fascist Italy, specifically
Milan, and puts us in the shoes of poet
Antonia Pozzi (1912–1938) – a woman at
odds with the bourgeois world in which
she lived. Despite her brilliance, she
would not be published in her lifetime.
From the affair with her former high
school teacher to the passes made
at her best female friend, this film
introduces us to the people who
touched or hurt her most. Her poems
record her inability to adapt to social
norms, as well as her desire to live fully,
functioning as an escape from reality
and her own complex soul.
Produced by Luca Guadagnino
(I Am Love, A Bigger Splash), directed
by Ferdinando Cito Filomarino and
impressionistically shot by Palme
D’Or winner Sayombhu Mukdeeprom,
Antonia is as lyrical and poetic as the

Per amor vostro
Giuseppe Gaudino’s first fiction feature
in nearly 20 years is a mesmerising
tale of an ordinary life told in an
extraordinary way. Shot in contrasting
turns of pale black and white and rich
colour, this is the story of Anna, a wife
and mother in Naples who works as a
television prompter. Locals know her
as a ‘capascaqua’ (featherbrain), but
this masks a much darker state of mind.
She sees visions of apocalyptic clouds
rolling over the bay of Naples, her bus
to work is flooded with sea water and
her fellow commuters jabber at her
incessantly.
Her comfortable existence and
loving children are overridden by her
husband Gigi. An unscrupulous loan
shark, he spends his days screaming
abuse at her and their deaf-mute son
Arturo. But when she meets Michele,
a kind man who sees beyond her
eccentricities, she sees the chance of
a new and better life.

Based on the remarkable real-life
story of Lea Garofalo, the latest film
from Marco Tullio Giordana received
a 5-minute standing ovation at Rome’s

has grown up around the ‘Ndràngheta
(Calabrian mafia). Her own family, and
the father of her daughter Denise are
members, but she wants a different life
for them.
When she decides to cooperate with
the police in order to escape the cycle
of crime and violence, she and Denise
are placed in a witness protection
scheme. But when things go wrong
Lea is forced to turn to her family and
Denise’s father sees a chance to take
his revenge and win Denise back.
If You Tell Me (also known as Lea) is a
fascinating insight into the workings
of the country’s most powerful mafia
organisation and Vanessa Scalera
(Vincere LIFF 2010, Mia madre LIFF

Manuela is an Army commander
stationed in Afghanistan who
reluctantly returns to her seaside home
town near Rome to convalesce from a
near-fatal attack. For Manuela coming
back to this picturesque town means a
return to all the things that drove her
to join the army.
There she has built the life she always
dreamed of, and her recuperation
forces her to fight a different battle:
against the memories, disappointment
and pain of her youth. She unexpectedly
finds a confidante in Mattia, a man
seemingly without a past, and like her,
suspended in the limbo of his hopes
and dreams for the future.

Lesbian protagonists are far from

a trailblazer of sorts, albeit one that

charmingly humorous and universally
watchable fashion.
Having spent five years together,
Marina (Sabrina Ferilli, The Great

(Margherita Buy, Mia Madre, LIFF
15) are, basically, like an old married
couple. But whereas former actressturned-restaurateur Marina is totally
at ease with her sexuality, architect
Federica can’t ignore her heterosexual
past or the opinion of others.
Consequently, the bounds of their
relationship get properly tested when
a man enters the equation.
With its travel-brochure depiction
of Italy and this attractive couple’s
aspirational lifestyle, Me, Myself and
Her creates a cinematic world that is

Multi-talented veteran of the European

Woody Allen style film about a middleaged woman who sets out to reclaim
her life.
The ever-luminous Morante also takes
the lead role of Flavia in this snappy
relationship comedy of words. Flavia
is a bonafide psychological mess, still
emotionally dependent on her two
remarried ex-husbands and a human
doormat to her so-called friends. With
the help of a no-nonsense therapist –
and a dog – Flavia negotiates loneliness
and insecurities to finally stand on her
own two feet.
Integrating surreal fantasy sequences
and directly addressing the camera at
times, Solo is a sharp and entertaining
examination of neuroses that showcases
Laura Morante at her very best.

ARIANNA
In Carlo Lavagna’s critically acclaimed
debut, Arianna, we follow the
eponymous character in a belated
coming-of-age when her stunted
development as a woman at age 19
does not add up.
Only when Arianna’s parents take her
to their lake house for the summer
do the pieces of the puzzle slowly fall
into place. Born intersex, Arianna was
transitioned from boy to girl at the age
of three; a decision made by her doctor
and parents, and then buried.
With a notable absence of melodrama,
filmmaker Carlo Lavagna has created
a refreshing perspective on gender
identity that is pleasingly frank about
the unhinged libido of developing
sexual beings, regardless of their sex.
Not surprisingly, the unbridled lead
performance by newcomer Ondina
Quadri is central to the film’s emotional
punch, as reflected by her swag of
awards and nominations.

Enrico Giusti (Valerio Mastandrea)
has a unique yet incredibly useful
occupation and he’s brilliant at it.
His job consists of approaching
incompetent senior executives who
are running their businesses to the

he uses his influence to convince
them to leave in order to appoint
new CEOs that successfully turn the
companies around, thereby avoiding
bankruptcy and the loss of thousands
of jobs.
But when a famous husband-andwife entrepreneurial team die in
a tragic car accident, everything
changes. Enrico is suddenly charged
with the task of preventing the two
teenage heirs from taking the helm
of an industrial group of national
importance. It should be the easiest
case, the culmination of his brilliant
career, but things soon become
difficult as the orphans make him
question his choices. The unexpected
arrival of his younger brother’s

Roché is found dead the next morning,
Salus becomes the main suspect, but he

with real life master sommelier, the so

playing himself, who, having famously
lost his palate during the shooting of
the earlier film, has left the world of
wine in disgrace and is now working
as a taxi driver in Miami, where he

Pandora.
But when Pandora is approached by
rising star sommelier Luca Gardini
(also playing himself) to manage him all
the way to the world championship of
sommeliers, The Duel of Wine, Charlie
(having regained his palate) feels
compelled to regain his reputation
and win Pandora back. Using his friend
Lino as a front man at tastings around
Europe Charlie manages to make his
way to the final where he faces Luca

Matteo Rovere’s new film mixes action
and emotion and plunges the viewer
into the world of GT (Gran Turismo)
racing; into the training, preparation
and visceral passion that goes into a
race, and tells a true story of survival,
pride, redemption and the unparalleled
bond between siblings.
Giulia De Martino (newcomer Matilda
De Angelis), is 17-years-old and already
carries the weight of her family on her
shoulders. Her mother has left, and
when her father dies, it is up to her to
look after her little brother, and the
family garage, which has been turning
out rally champions for generations.
Overwhelmed with debt, Giulia, who is
a promising racing driver herself, must
win the GT championships at any cost.
She reaches out to her older brother
Loris (brilliantly played by Stefano
Accorsi), a former champion driver who
has fallen into the spiral of drugs.
Based on a true story, Italian Race
portrays talent and deterioration,

Three generations of men are lost
in the ‘jungle’ of Bagnoli, a worldweary and degraded working class
neighbourhood of Naples.
Giggino is a 50-something poet at a
restaurant and a petty thief on the
streets. His octogenarian father,
Antonio, was once employed by a large
Naples steel mill but now lives a life
of nostalgia telling stories about local
mafia and Maradona’s football feats.
Marco, at age 18, is a street-savvy
deli delivery boy who struggles with
concepts of his future and the road to
get him there.
The travails of these three very human
characters get told across separate
chapters, captured by a fly-on-the-wall
handheld camera that smudges the
line between documentary and fiction.
Raw and gritty, Napoli Jungle
doesn’t hold back in its depiction of a
community aimless and defeated – the
abandoned factory of Antonio’s past
looming over the film as a silent witness
to failure.

Era d’estate
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
ONCE IN SUMMER
Screened recently in Italy to
coincide with the 24th anniversary
commemorations of the Capaci and
Via D’Amelio massacres is filmmaker
Fiorella Infascelli’s character study of
two very different men on the same
date with destiny.
Judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo
Borsellino would eventually fall at the
hands of Italy’s Cosa Nostra in 1992.
However, before that, in 1985, they
were preparing for the ‘Mafia Maxi
Trial’ when a tip-off of a planned attack
against their families sees them taken
to an island in Sardinia to wait out
the threat. This situation, somewhere
between a forced vacation and witness
protection, sees the men delve further
into their work, the retreat allowing
them to hone their case. Fate, however,
is not to be escaped, and all too soon
danger returns.
Infascelli’s engrossing film depicts the
remarkable friendship that developed
between two men who were the exact
opposites on the political and spiritual
spectrum yet were so firmly united in
an indisputably worthy cause.

“Era d’estate is not a
classic ‘mafia’ film, it’s
the intimate story of the
forced retreat of two
judges in 1985.”
CINEUROPA
DIRECTOR:
FIORELLA
INFASCELLI
Born in Rome
in 1952, Fiorella
Infascelli worked as
an assistant director for Luchino
Visconti, Bernardo Bertolucci
and Pier Paolo Pasolini before
debuting with the TV movie
Ritratto di donna distesa (1980).
Her films include The Mask
(1988), Zuppa di pesce (1992)
and The Wedding Dress (2003).
She is the daughter of producer
Carlo Infascelli and sister of
producers Roberto and Paolo
Infascelli.
Set in the heady summer of 1975, with
the Communist Party seemingly on
the verge of taking power through
the upcoming general election,
controversial Italian director, poet
and intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini is
editing his most audacious film yet, the
now notorious “Salò, or the 120 days
of Sodom” when the negative is stolen
from the film laboratory.
Pasolini, a well-known communist
who is openly gay, is also in the
midst of writing a book condemning
Italy’s political elite; and he is seeing
a young man, Pino Pelosi, from the
working class suburbs of Rome that
are renown for organised crime.
When Pasolini arranges a meeting to
retrieve the negative, little does he
know that he is walking into a trap that
has many authors.
One of the most mysterious and
controversial crimes in Italian history,
the murder of Pasolini is treated as a
thriller, highlighting the monstrosity
of those who physically murdered
Pasolini, those who ordered the crime,
and those who covered it up.

88 DAYS
This local documentary follows the
stories of various young Italian migrant
workers as they work in farms across
rural Australia in order to obtain a
further year in their working holiday
visa. Under reciprocal agreements with
nineteen countries, Australia allows
travellers aged between eighteen and
thirty to live and work here for up to a
year, with the possibility of a second
twelve-month visa if they undertake
at least eighty-eight days of “specified
work” (in agriculture, forestry, fishing,
mining or construction) in a regional
area. This film explores the work and
life of young migrant Italians who have
chosen this path and their lives after
the experience.
Please join screenwriter Michele
Grigoletti and researcher Silvia Pianelli
for a spirited discussion about the
emigration of young Italians to Australia.
