The first in a regular programme of specially-curated films showcasing the brilliant diversity of Italian cinema. Stretching across twenty-five years, this first programme includes a hugely influential heist comedy, a tender romantic drama, a dazzlingly inventive giallo and an underrated late classic from il maestro Fellini.
The screening will be introduced by season curator Dr. Pasquale Iannone.
Aida, a young show girl in search of work, is smitten by the charming philanderer Marcello, which, in a little while, leaves her. Aida decides to track him down, but he sends his sixteen year old brother, Lorenzo, to get rid of her. But the kind hearted Lorenzo listens to Aida’s story and disapproves of brother’s behaviour. The two become friends and Lorenzo dreams up countless contrivances to keep Aida with him.
