In Person: Italian Film with English Subtitles: Mia Madre

Each second Wednesday at 4:00, an Italian film with English subtitles is shown at the Library. This month's selection is "Mia Madre."

"Love, death, cinema — they’re all there in “Mia Madre,” bumping up against one another beautifully. It’s the story of a movie director, Margherita (Margherita Buy), who, while shooting a difficult movie about labor strife, learns that her mother, Ada (Giulia Lazzarini), may be dying. Yet even as tragedy surges, flooding scenes and tear ducts, Margherita’s featured performer, an outsize American star named Barry (John Turturro), enters laughing, bellowing, acting. The Italian director Nanni Moretti knows how to turn on the waterworks, but he also knows about that burlesque called life." -Manohla Dargis, New York Times Review
