Join us at the Egyptian and Aero Theatres for our annual celebration of Italian cinema! The latest film from acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino, YOUTH, will play at AFI FEST just before our series kicks into gear with Italy’s official Oscar submission for Best Foreign-Language Film, DON’T BE BAD. This final film from writer-director Claudio Caligari looks at two friends pulled in different directions by nightlife and criminal activity in the 1990s on the outskirts of Rome.
The underworld of Milan is the milieu of ITALIAN GANGSTERS, a fascinating docudrama about the city’s most notorious post-WWII figures, intercutting archival footage and actors speaking the gangsters’ actual words. Much of this year’s dramatic fare revolves around family, including Nanni Moretti’s MY MOTHER, a look at a stressed-out filmmaker (Margherita Buy) whose mother is facing her final days. Death also hangs in the air in Piero Messina’s THE WAIT, in which Juliette Binoche cannot bring herself to tell her son’s fiancée that the young man has just died. Awkward communications plague the two couples at THE DINNER, Ivano De Matteo’s piercing examination of how close violence is to all of our lives.
A dinner get-together under happier circumstances drives Francesca Archibugi’s comedy AN ITALIAN NAME, about the question faced by all parents: What should I call my child? Francesco Scianna plays the title character in Cristina Comencini’sLATIN LOVER, whose many ex-wives and daughters gather to hilarious effect to remember his career as an actor. In this year’s Nastro d’Argento winner for Best Comedy, THE LEGENDARY GIULIA isn’t a person but an automobile that comes into play when three friends (including director Edoardo Leo) team to start an agritourism business. Italian box office hit GOD WILLING throws an arrogant atheist father off balance when his son declares his intention to join the priesthood. AndMargherita Buy appears in romantic comedy mode as half (with Sabrina Ferilli) of the female couple in ME, MYSELF AND HER by Maria Sole Tognazzi.
All films are in Italian with English subtitles, unless otherwise noted. Series compiled by Laura Delli Colli and Camilla Cormanni with the assistance of Gwen Deglise. Program notes by John Hagelston.

Double Feature: Los Angeles Premiere! AN ITALIAN NAME (IL NOME DEL FIGLIO), 2015, Films Distribution, 94 min. Dir. Francesca Archibugi. Based on the recent French film WHAT’S IN A NAME?, this boisterous comedy starts simply enough, at a dinner party where soon-to-be parents Alessandro Gassmann and Micaela Ramazzotti (both Nastro d’Argento winners) hope to enjoy an evening with some old friends (Valeria Golino, Luigi Lo Cascio and Rocco Papaleo). But all hell breaks loose when the subject of the child’s name is broached. In Italian with English subtitles.
Los Angeles Premiere! THE DINNER (I NOSTRI RAGAZZI), 2014, Film Movement, 92 min. Dir. Ivano De Matteo. This superb adaptation of Herman Koch’s bestseller will give any parent nightmares. Pediatrician Luigi Lo Cascio and lawyer Alessandro Gassmann dine together every week with their wives; they have a lot to talk about when video surfaces that could implicate their teenage kids in the death of a homeless woman. De Matteo skillfully plays on audience assumptions from start to devastating finish in this look at how close violence remains to even the most placid surface.

Program also includes a short film presented in collaboration with Roma Creative Contest: TWO LEFT FEET (DUE PIEDI SINISTRI) – 2015, Lea Film, 6’ Dir. Isabella Salvetti.

THE WAIT (L’ATTESA), 2015, 100 min. Dir. Piero Messina. In her villa in Sicily, Anna (Juliette Binoche) is mourning her son Giuseppe when his fiancée (Lou de Laâge) arrives to spend Easter weekend with him. Unable to break the news to the young woman, Anna allows her to wait for Giuseppe, getting to know this link to her son a little better before the truth inevitably emerges. Messina earned a Golden Lion nomination at the Venice Film Festival for this stylish feature debut. “Benefiting enormously from its evocative Sicilian setting, this widescreen experience makes bewitching use of space, time and sound, creating an almost meditative atmosphere.” – Peter Debruge, Variety.
In Italian and French with English subtitles.
THE WAIT director Piero Messina will introduce the screening
Saturday, November 14 – 7:30 PM / AERO THEATRE
Double Feature: Los Angeles Premiere! ME, MYSELF AND HER (IO E LEI), 2015, Lucky Red, 97 min. Dir. Maria Sole Tognazzi. Perhaps Italy’s first romantic comedy with a female couple at the center, ME, MYSELF AND HER stars Sabrina Ferilli as happily out restaurateur Marina and Margherita Buy (from Tognazzi’s previous A FIVE STAR LIFE) as Federica, a previously married architect whose fear of what others might think gives her pause about the relationship. With a light tone, this warm look at the everyday struggles of two people to build a life together strikes a universal chord. In Italian with English subtitles.
Los Angeles Premiere! GOD WILLING (SE DIO VUOLE), 2015, Intramovies, 87 min. Edoardo Maria Falcone earned David di Donatello and Nastro d’Argento Best New Director awards for this knowing father-son comedy. Alessandro Gassmann stars as a priest hilariously stalked by arrogant cardiac surgeon Tommaso (Marco Giallini), an avowed atheist who is thrown for a loop by an announcement from his only son (Enrico Oetiker) – the young man wants to become a priest, too. A box office hit in Italy.
In Italian with English subtitles.
ME, MYSELF AND HER director Maria Sole Tognazzi will introduce the first feature. Program also includes a short film presented in collaboration with Roma Creative Contest: DEAR SUSIE – 2015, 3’ Pr.

Los Angeles Premiere! LATIN LOVER, 2015, Rai Com, 104 min. Dir. Cristina Comencini. Italian actor Saverio (a charismatic Francesco Scianna) personified the Latin lover of the title, portraying a legion of romantic leads onscreen and fathering five daughters (each with a different woman). Ten years after Saverio’s death, his hometown of Apulia stages a memorial, bringing ex-wives, children and former associates together to regrind old axes. Beginning with this ensemble comedy setup, LATIN LOVER ultimately emerges as a love letter to the glory days of Italian film. With Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Marisa Paredes and Virna Lisi (in her final performance).
In Italian with English subtitles.
Sunday, November 15 – 7:30 PM / AERO THEATRE
Double Feature: Los Angeles Premiere! THE LEGENDARY GIULIA AND OTHER MIRACLES (NOI E LA GIULIA), 2015, Intramovies, 115 min. Dir. Edoardo Leo.

A Nastro d’Argento winner for Best Comedy and Supporting Actor Claudio Amendola. In Italian with English subtitles.
Los Angeles Premiere! ITALIAN GANGSTERS, 2015, Minerva Pictures, 87 min. Dir. Renato De Maria. This unusual docudrama presents a rogue’s gallery of criminals from postwar Milan, painting multifaceted portraits of such notorious underworld figures as Enzo Barbieri and Paolo Casaroli. Cut together in rat-a-tat style, archival footage, scenes from films and actors speaking the gangsters’ own words resurrect both these larger-than life characters and a freewheeling (if dangerous) era of Italian history. “The mastery and excitement that Italian cinema was once known for springs to life again in ITALIAN GANGSTERS.” – Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter.
In Italian with English subtitles.
Program also includes a short film presented in collaboration with Roma Creative Contest: SHARON’S NUMBER (IL NUMERO DI SHARON) – 2015, 5’,Pr: Associazione Culturale Premio Solinas, Dir: Roberto Gagnor.

Monday, November 16 – 7:30 PM / AERO THEATRE
Los Angeles Premiere! MY MOTHER (MIA MADRE), 2015, Alchemy, 106 min. Filmmaker Nanni Moretti’s latest may have a touch of autobiography to it; the film profiles a director (David di Donatello Award winner Margherita Buy) under both personal and professional duress. As her mother (Giulia Lazzarini) lies in a hospital bed nearing the end of her life, Margherita’s current production hits a snag in the person of its difficult lead actor (John Turturro, providing some nice comic relief). This moving new drama took home the Ecumenical Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. In Italian and English with English subtitles.
Director Nanni Moretti and actor John Turturro will introduce the screening

| Runtime: | 62 min. |
| Production: | Andrea Sisti Productions |
| Synopsis: | Right In the courtyard of a roman palace, just next to the Spanish Steps, lies an old and unique restaurant. Immediately after WWII, a group of young filmmakers took on the habit of meeting there: their names were Ettore (Scola), Mario (Monicelli), Gillo (Pontecorvo), Furio (Scarpelli) and many others. The kitchen of Nora and Otello, the owners of the restaurant, soon became their own home kitchen, and in the years to come among those very tables they would conceive and write down some of the most beautiful pages of that cinema genre better known as “Commedia all’italiana”. “Otello’s secret” remembers and celebrates that particular season of cinema through the personal recollections of actors, directors, producers, screenwriters and musicians who have contributed to “Otello’s” international fame with their own special craft. |

WITHOUT LUCIO (SENZA LUCIO) – 2014
| Directed by: | Mario Sesti |
|---|---|
| Runtime: | 86 min. |
| Production: | I Wonder Pictures |
| Synopsis: | The singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla seen through the eyes of the person closest to him in the last twenty years: Marco Alemanno. The tale of how they met and how he grew on a human, professional, and artistic level standing by Dalla’s side. And much more: daily and deeper aspects of his life, his love for Southern Italy, his passion for cinema, his relationship with music, his bulimic curiosity of launching himself into new artistic adventures, his mercurial energy and his boundless sense of humor. “It’s especially the inner story (what did Dalla thought of himself, of his talent, of his success?) and the more secluded moments (contemplating the world, his endless curiosity for other people, the distant pain from his childhood) that shed light on Lucio Dalla in a way that very few people had the chance to see before. Marco Alemanno’s tale brings back feelings we all know better than we think: we’ve all […] felt it, that feeling of loss when he passed away.” (Source: TFF). |

|---|---|
| Runtime: | 103 min. |
| Production: | Lumière & Co. |
| Synopsis: | Milan 2015 is a “collective fresco” which listens to and investigates the soul of this city in a year in which the gaze of the whole world rests upon Italy. From the subsoil all the way up to the heavens, a heartfelt account – with echoes of the past and the urgency of modern everyday reality – via apparently far‐off worlds: from the suburbs to the country’s highest skyscraper, from closed theatres to the excellence of La Scala, from second‐generation children to perceptions of the city from a closed order of nuns. A tale in which six directors, with their different sensibilities, have pounded the streets, lingering on faces and drawing out words to offer an interpretation of the varied citizenry. |
