THE 2015 ITALIAN Film Festival USA Metro Detroit recently announced the complete schedule of its 11th edition, which takes place April 1-26 at various locations across the metro area, including Ann Arbor. A trio of the Festival's 14 films will be screened on Apr. 17-18 in Askwith Auditorium in Lorch Hall on the U-M campus. U-M's Romance Languages and Literatures is a sponsor of the Festival. All films will be shown in Italian with English subtitles.
On Friday Apr. 17, "Il giovane favoloso (Leopardi)" will be played at 7:30 p.m. It is a biopic of Giacomo Leopardi, one of Italy's greatest 19th century poets. The next evening at 5:00 p.m. "I nostri ragazzi" ("The Dinner") will play. In the film, two brothers and their wives meet once a month in a fashionable restaurant. Their tradition has continued for years until, one evening, security cameras in a remote part of town record a foolish act committed by their children.
