CineclubDante class - 26 March
Dear members,
we would like to remind you of our cineclub class. This month we celebrate the Oscar winning film "La grande bellezza" watching another great Italian movie that won three Oscars and broke the box-office record for profits by a foreign film in the American market: La vita è bella (Life is Beautiful) directed by Roberto Benigni in 1997. Wednesday 26th of March at 1.30pm - Dante's room - in Freeman's Bay Community Centre.
Roberto Benigni plays Guido, a Jewish book seller in the Tuscan city of Arezzo in 1939.
Whit the beginning of the World War II, he and his family have to cope with racial laws against Jews that Mussolini's regime had passed.
Soon the family are placed into a concentration camp and the mood of the film changes abruptly.
Roberto Benigni, as a kind of modern Chaplin, does something really special in this film:
to protect his son, he turns the horrors of the camp into a child's fable, a fabulous world of play, inhabited at least by one benign clown.
This is a language class, a fascinating way to improve your Italian watching and talking about the most beautiful movies of il Cinema Italiano.
There is no need to book for this class – just turn up to watch and discuss the film with Flavia Berucci.
CineclubDante class - 26 March - 1.30pm - Freeman's Bay Community Centre.

CineClubDante: Two Women (in Italian La ciociara)
CineClubDante returns Wednesday the 19th of September at2.15pm.
After the short break in August, we will watch another of De Sica’s most intense and less known movies: Two Women (in Italian La ciociara).
Shot in 1960, Two Women tells the story of a woman trying to protect her young daughter from the horrors of war. It was adapted by De Sica and Cesare Zavattini from the novel of the same name written by Alberto Moravia. It stars Sophia Loren, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Eleonora Brown, Carlo Ninchi and Andrea Checchi.
The movie won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Sophia Loren. This was the first time an acting Oscar had been given for a non-English speaking performance. Loren also won the Award for Best Actress at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival. Loren won 22 international awards for Two Women.
Come and watch the movie, and talk about it with our teacher Matteo Telara
We remind you CineDanteClub is a language class, an unusual way to go deeper into the Italian culture and improve your language skills.

Italiano e ... mozzarella!
| Massimiliano talking about cheese |
Last week the Wednesday beginner' class said goodbye to two students leaving for Puglia, and we all celebrated by recreating a bit of the magic of this beautiful Italian region by hosting one of its cheese makers. Il Casaro Massimiliano made a huge mozzarella for us to taste, and gave a little talk about cheese making in Puglia and in Auckland.

| Look at the size of this mozzarella! |
Grazie a tutti per la bella serata, e arrivederci Jennie and Paul!

FELLINI'S "NIGHTS OF CABIRIA".
Ciao a tutti,
After “Miracolo a Milano” and “Ieri oggi e domani”,
we will this time watch and talk about Fellini’s “Nights of Cabiria”, a 1957
romantic drama which won many awards, including a Oscar Best Foreign Language
Film in 1958.
Come and watch the movie, and talk about it with our
teacher Matteo Telara.
Based on a story by Fellini, the film is about a
waifish prostitute (Giulietta Masina, Fellini’s wife and muse) who wanders the
streets of Rome looking for true love but finds only heartbreak.
This is a language class, a
fascinating way to improve your language skills through the history of Italian
Cinema, from the Neorealismo’s masterpieces to today.
Please
let us know if you will come, so that we can arrange the room.
$5
for students
$10
for everybody else.
Coffee
included.
Ci vediamo giovedì 14 alle 1.30pm.
