2004/05 Season

ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS

Denmark 2001 (15) - 112 minutes Subtitled Directed by Lone Scherfig

Ipswich Film Theatre - 20 September 2004 - 7.30pm The success of an evening class depends on both the teacher and the students. Compelling performances engage us in each personal story. This untypically light-hearted film from the Danish Dogme stable shows how love can catch us all. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Lovely, warm-hearted film. Makes you realise that the stereotypes of the Danes are just that; The camera work made me feel giddy, but I found the story and characters very endearing; Very Scandanavian humour. Perhaps needed more rigorous editing; So refreshingly un-American; Most boring, tedious film I have ever seen.
