Cineforum Italiano: I baci mai dati (Lost Kisses)Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 4pm
Price: $10.00 for members or $15.00 for non-members (cash only)Manuela is a 13-year-old girl form the sprawling, dilapidated suburb of Librino in southern Sicily. She lives with her dysfunctional family and works sweeping floors in a hair salon. After the head of a Virgin Mary statue dissapears, Manuela announces one morning that the Madonna appeared to her in a dream - and told her the whereabouts of the statue's head! As news of the vision spreads, Manuela's quixotic mother realizes there's good money in miracles. But was it a miracle, or was Manuela just bored?A playful satire, LOST KISSES feels like the collision of a moral tale and a fairy tale. Director Roberta Torre, whose prior work includes a musical about the Mafia, strikes a clever tone, mixing drab realism with sardonic humor, splashes of vibrant color, and fabulist flourishes (it's an exceedingly bizzare hair salon). While the film plays with the idea of miracles in our image-obsessed material world, it is grounded emotionally in the relationship between mother and daughter.For more infomation and to RSVP go to meetup . com/passatempoSponsored by Passatempo, LLCPassatempo, LLC is a large, fast growing, very active and welcomming community of "amici"!
