Aprile - CINEMA ITALIANO at Victoria Theatre & Cinema Devonport
Aprile - CINEMA ITALIANO
Screening as part of the 9th Cinema Italiano
Friday 10 May @ 6pm
Tuesday 14 May @ 8.15pm
The charm of Aprile is that it remains unflinchingly silly and laugh-out-loud funny. Director Nanni Moretti smuggles in clever personal, political and philosophical ideas without any pretence of seriousness. The backdrop to the story is the birth of Moretti’s child, coinciding with the election of the notorious Silvio Berlusconi. Again, he plays a version of himself, a filmmaker constantly distracted by his son's impending birth and perturbed by Italy’s turn towards a new political movement now described as ‘Populism’. It’s a perfect mix of the personal with the philosophical. Anyone old enough to have lived through the 90s will find it fascinating to see how our present was so shaped by those years. Moretti’s mix of absurd humour, slapstick, autobiography and poignancy, make Nanni Moretti a genuine ‘Auteur’ like no other living Italian Director.
Directed by Nanni Moretti
Starring Nanni Moretti, Silvio Orlando, Silvia Nono, Pietro Moretti
Screening in Italian with English subtitles.
