Support Italian indie films!!


From August 27-30 there will be the national premiere of the Italian indie movie “La Patente” (The License) by a young Roman director, Alessandro Palazzi, at Nuovo Cinema Aquila.
On Wednesday, August 29th, there will be two special screenings (20:30 and 22:30) with ENGLISH subtitles. 


via l’Aquila #68    
Rome 


PLOT:
“The License” is a modern-day ensemble comedy revolving around the lives of two Roman slackers.
Rolando, thirty-something and perpetually unsatisfied, works at his future father-in-law’s driving school, and Sergio is a waiter at the corner café as well as a small-time drug dealer.
Thanks to the unexpected death of the elderly owner, they end up taking control of the driving school during the pivotal week before the final driving test.
Characters of all ages and from all walks of life, future drivers and their unlikely instructors, come together to create a reality that borders on grotesque, yet feels incredibly familiar. It touches on important issues like integration in present-day Italy, and gender roles, while never losing its comic tone.

I enjoyed the film. Kind of a Rome flavored Woody Allen type thing. Thanks for the heads-up!

You are VERY welcome! Thanks so much for going to see it. Small, self-financed films need all the attention they can get, I'm hoping this one goes far :)
