Show Notes
I’m back from the 31st Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival! I wanted to provide an overview of the seven Italian films I got to see, all of which were featured in the Focus on Italy program of this year’s festival:
- Croce e delizia (An Almost Ordinary Summer) by Simone Godano
- Martin Eden by Pietro Marcello
- Simple Women by Chiara Malta
- Storia di B. – La scomparsa di mia madre (The Disappearance of My Mother) by Beniamino Barrese
- Il campione (The Champion) by Leonardo D’Agostini
- Il traditore (The Traitor) by Marco Bellocchio
- Sole by Carlo Sironi
These films were a great window into contemporary Italian life, and with many first-time filmmakers, represent an exciting future for what’s to come in Cinema Italiano.
