Product Information

That same evening, the grandmother puts in place an extreme plan to resolve the situation: despite suffering from diabetes mellitus, she decides to eat a huge amount of sweets that leads her to her death. Since she is the largest shareholder of the pasta factory, she in her last will leaves it to Antonio, who will thus have to return to the family, and she recommends each member of the family to be himself and to respect the diversity of others. During her funeral, past and present come together in an almost dreamlike scene: her grandmother finds her beloved Nicola, her husband's brother and her only true love; Vincenzo and Antonio seem to make peace, while Tommaso watches Marco and Alba dance and, after hinting at a smile, leaves. This is an endearing, sympathetic movie about an in itself serious topic: the question if you should come-out as gay to your extremely conservative and homophobic parents. Here it's dealt with in a very intelligent way and with much humor, resulting in a rewarding mixture of laughs and tears. Maybe both parents stay a bit too much a caricature, especially the father, but the frustrations of main character Tomasso as the closeted son is very realistically pictured by actor Riccardo Scamarcio.

However, due to the complex themes and dialogue, this film is ideally suited to advanced Italian learners. La vita è bella (“Life Is Beautiful”)

This 1962 cult comedy is considered the apex of commedia all’italiana , one of the most celebrated genres in Italian cinema. In II sorpasso , introverted law student Roberto is taken on an unexpected road trip by the erratic and charismatic Bruno. Lorenzo Cuppi, “ I culti di origine egiziana a Delo: Installazione, permanenza durante la dominazione ateniese (166–69 a.C.) e caratteri peculiari.”Rounding off our list is the Oscar-winning classic La vita è bella by Roberto Benigni. Set in a Nazi labor camp, this bittersweet comedy reflects on themes of love and sacrifice as the protagonist Guido attempts to protect his son from the terror of their reality by pretending the camp is actually just an elaborate game, where they have to follow all the rules to win a tank.

Vitamine vaganti è la rivista ufficiale dell’associazione, registrata presso il Tribunale di Roma il 16 marzo 2019, per dare voce alle associate e agli associati. As usual in his movies, photography, sets and music are highly original and perfectly fitted to the story: if it were a silent movie it would be beautiful just to look at; if it were a radio program it would be delightful just to listen to. This is the first of his movies to integrate a significant amount of comedy into his usually serious but highly imaginative dramas, and he does it expertly; I laughed out loud almost as often as I wept with delight.Unlike some of the other movies on this list, Perfetti sconosciuti is an excellent movie for Italian learners of all abilities. Thanks to heavy use of body language and typical Italian hand gestures, beginners and lower-intermediates (from B1 level) will find the more complex dialogue easy to follow. Meanwhile, advanced learners can gain an insight into the nuances of Italian attitudes towards love, family and unemployment. Il sorpasso This film is struggling to overthrow FACING WINDOWS from the crown of my favorite Ozpetek's work (I do need a fresh re-watch of STEAM though). I do not dare to spoil anything here, one prominent astonishment comes at the near end, when the camera fluidly couples with different times, emanates a wonderful visual and spiritual poignancy which exactly one would love to experience from watching a decent film! Mine vaganti , a 2010 comedy by Ferzan Özpetek, provides a layered and introspective take on the contentious issue of homosexuality in conservative southern Italy. The film follows protagonist Tommaso as his attempts to come out to his family are repeatedly thwarted by a series of unexpected obstacles. The loose cannons of the title are found amongst the Cantone family, the owners of a pasta factory in Puglia, in southern Italy. The father, Vincenzo, has decided that the time has come to hand over responsibilities to his sons, Antonio and Tommaso. His daughter's husband being an imbecile and his daughter being a woman, the brothers are the obvious heirs to the family business.

The cast are all very good, the actress playing the grandmother, is marvelous and the film does present an interesting story. However, because it never seems to know where it's going and there is little in the way of conclusion to many elements this leads to, at times, a very frustrating film experience despite it's potential. In this critically acclaimed drama, a hit-and-run leaves a waiter seriously injured, but an investigation into the incident prompts a frantic scramble to conceal the truth. This film makes a powerful statement about Italy’s deeply entrenched class system, demonstrating how the rich and powerful can exploit their privilege to escape their problems, leaving the poor to pay for them. The striking contrast between traditional family structures and Tommaso’s secret double life not only builds an alluring narrative but also provides a great resource for learners at an intermediate level. With this film, they can learn a wide range of vocabulary relating to family relationships, love and food.
