SD Italian Film Festival Presents: Euforia

The San Diego Italian Film Festival Presents: Euforia Directed by Valeria Golino | 120 minutes Acclaimed leading actors Riccardo Scamarcio and Valerio Mastandrea play Matteo and Ettore, two adult brothers living drastically different lives, in actor-director Valeria Golino’s quietly wrenching new drama. When Ettore, a public-school teacher and father of modest means, is diagnosed with a serious illness, he goes to stay with cosmopolitan Matteo in his sprawling Roman bachelor pad, and Matteo takes charge of overseeing his brother’s medical care. Between appointments with doctors and visits from Ettore’s wife and his lover, the brothers reckon with long-unresolved tensions and resentments, and face the implications of Ettore’s failing health, against the backdrop of the sunny Roman cityscape. Premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival as “Un Certain Regard.” Attendees will also enjoy a screening of the short film Postcard (7 minutes) by Giulio Guerrieri.

SD Italian Film Festival Presents: Comandante

The San Diego Italian Film Festival Presents: Comandante Directed by Francesco Maisto | 72 minutes Francesco Maisto, the director of this film’s father, was a supervising judge in Milan’s San Vittore prison during the Seventies, the years marked by political terrorism in Italy. Felice was a mechanic and has always called himself a Communist, an activist of the far-left movement LottaContinua. What is the link between two characters so distant and different?Humanity is the common thread of this intimate and personal documentary. Its deep meaning is the research carried by the young director: his need and urge to question himself incessantly about two key figures of his childhood, on the meaning of friendship, and the image a son has of his own father. Attendees will also enjoy the screening of the film short Butterflies in Berlin (30 minutes) by Monica Manganelli. The short is one of the twenty finalists of our new Short Film Competition.

Her daughter Delia is saddened by the news, yet she is not surprised.She considers her mother to be a disgrace even before she hears of the sordid circumstances of her death.
