    Just days after the Cannes 2023 line-up was announced, revisiting Nanni Moretti’s Palme d’Or-winning The Son’s Room (La stanza del figlio) from 2001! This moving drama set in Ancona explores what happens to a happy family when tragedy strikes, as they shift from a singular unit to separate individuals. This film explores vastly different expressions of grief, as well as what role, if any, psychoanalysis can play when facing loss, manifesting the gap between objectivity and emotion into physical spaces.

    Shownotes

    Celebrating Alice Rohrwacher’s first Oscar nomination with a special episode on Le pupille (The Pupils)! Set at Christmastime during World War II, an all-girls school run by nuns is shaken by the prospect of a beautiful cake – an extravagant, tempting indulgence before them in an era of rationing and sacrifice. In addition to a few distinct formal elements, unique from Rohrwacher’s other works, this film explores religion (a favorite theme of the director’s) and a humorous, poignant take on vision (including the formidable presence of Santa Lucia).

The supermodels of a Roman fashion house are terrorized by a faceless killer in this endlessly stylish, thrilling midcentury mystery.

    Shownotes

    Ingrid Bergman experiences the land of God in Roberto Rossellini’s 1950 film Stromboli. A young woman, Karin, and her new husband move to his homeland of Stromboli, where she struggles to adapt to life in a small town on a volcanic island. This deeply layered work explores isolation and the relationship between man and nature; and even the volcano itself plays a variety of roles: as a mother and provider; a geological manifestation of hell, as the landscape of Karin’s own Divine Comedy; and an encounter with God, full of terror and wonder.

    Shownotes

    A 19th-century novel is re-contextualized to the postwar era in Luchino Visconti’s second feature La terra trema (1948). This story follows a Sicilian fishing family as they strive to rise up out of poverty, but face obstacles and hardships at every turn. The theme of destiny, and staying trapped in a lower economic standing, is reinforced through rhythmic, recurring sounds & images, and staged through powerful mise-en-scene of the geography & geology of the film’s Aci Trezza setting. This neorealist marvel is an important entry during a defining moment of Italian cinematic history.

    To celebrate the month of Valentine’s Day, taking a look at two love stories by Pietro Germi, both set in Sicily: Divorce Italian Style (1961) and Seduced and Abandoned (1964).
