Italian classic films @ JDIFF
The Jameson Dublin International Film Festival will be screening the crème de la crème of Italian cinema as part of the eagerly anticipated Out of The Past Season (17–27 February 2010).
Select titles include Feberico Fellini’s Interview, an enchanting work, a logical extension of all the films that have gone before it and an unequivocal cinematic delight. Another eagerly anticipated title is Chaos by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani – a rigorous and eloquent, effortlessly poetic, the film tells us four separate tales of Sicilian life.
