Il venditore di medicine (The Medicine Seller)
Director: Antonio Morabito, 2013
This festival favorite is, according to Variety, “more than just a topical issue movie cashing in on recent scandals, but a taut, stylish drama that addresses shady practices in the pharmaceutical industry. (It is) enriched by standout performances, a tight script and editing that expertly drive the tension forward.” Director Morabito was nominated for a Nastro d’Argento award for Best Story, 2014. 110 minutes/Free

La vita in comune (The Ark of Disperata)
Director: Edoardo Winspeare, 2017
Pati and his brother Angiolino dreamed of becoming the Mafia bosses of Capo di Leuca, when Pati discovers his love of poetry while doing jail time. His teacher, mentor and inspiration, Filippo (also the beleaguered mayor of Disperata) and the brothers use the encounter with art to change the town’s direction. A sweet and funny film, in which writer/director Winspeare employs his pugliesi friends and neighbors as actors for an authentic and genuine feel. 110 minutes/Admission charge NOTE SCREENING LOCATION, NOT AT CABRILLO!

Buon giorno papa (Out of the Blue)
Director: Edoardo Leo, 2013
Andrea (played by handsome Raul Bova) enjoys his never-ending string of one-night stands, and his career in product placement for films and TV is skyrocketing. Everything changes, though, when a non-standard teenager shows up and claims to be his daughter. Dante Alighieri Film Series favorite Edoardo Leo not only wrote and directed this comedic and touching film, but plays veteran lead actor Bova’s roommate and underachieving side kick. The film was nominated for several prestigious awards, including best comedy, best original song, and received two best actor nominations. 109 minutes/Free

Dangerous Beauty is fantastic, based on a true story. Prevented from marrying her nobleman lover because of her commoner status, real life historical heroine Veronica Franco is left with two choices: join a convent, or become a courtesan. Following her her mothers’s footsteps, she chooses the latter. Set in the 16th century Venice, this biographical drama follows Franco as she rises to power and fearlessly fights off accusations of witchcraft.
This one please!!
Light Years Away, by director Alain Tanner
A short clip:
If you haven’t seen “The Handmaid,” a Korean/Japanese erotic period thriller, you’ve got an amazing treat in store!

After 3+ years of being stuck on the mainland, I finally had a genuine imaginary Cinemetiki experience while alone at home on my couch thanks to one of my top favorite directors, Roman Polanski and his 2013 film Venus In Fur. This one produced lively discussions in my head as it progresses from phase to phase of fascinating human interaction. I hope I can be there for the live-and-in-person discussion.
Yes Paul, that’s a superb film recommendation and we’ll show it when you come back to visit us…Let us know a couple of weeks before your arrival…

I would like to see “Dirty Wars” by Jeremy Scahill. This is a new film about the covert wars in which the US is engaging. At the Sundance Film Festival it won Best Cinematography for an American film for “…elevating the art of observational cinema through sophisticated lensing and an electric-color palette.” To learn more about this film, please go to: http://dirtywars.org/
The Red Violin:most life-changing film I’ve seen (as a mathematician).
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
My favorite film forever (tied with 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Wizard of Oz): Les Enfants du Paradis; Marcel Carne’; 1945; 163 min.
The Battle of Algiers
is this Noah’s dad Stephen Levine?
No. I’m the other one.
Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Secret World of Arietty
Muy recomendable!!” Como plaga de Langosta” ,film año 1975.filmada en EEUU.
Final inesperado.
Recomiendo como director a Kitano, y en particular entre sus obras a Zatoichi.
Quien quiera disfrutar de una verdadera obra de arte desde el argumento, la fotografia , la pintura, la musica y el conocimiento de algunos aspectos de la cultura japonesa, debe ver esta obra de Kitano, donde se incluye como actor, en la pelicula que el mismo dirige.
(Si fuera posible subtitulada….lo agradecere ;0))

Aloha: I highly recommend “Life Tastes Good” by Philip Kan Gotanda.
For film buffs who have experienced Japanese cinema since the 50’s, the
filmic allusions to “Woman In the Dunes” and “Tampopo” are there. There’s also a touch of Theater of the Absurd. Beautifully filmed, good dialogue and character development for the main character,
Perhaps we could screen Luis Buñuel’s silent short surrealist film, Un Chien Andalou. I’m sure the discussion would be mighty lively ^_^
dear danny…
Thank you for your suggestion…
you are absolutely right…
the discussion after Luis Bunuel ” Un chien Andalou” (an andalusian dog) WAS mighty lively…
” An Chien Andalou”it was our 73rd. film…
it happened last year (2010) during our FIRST 100 FILMS, as we showed a cycle of Bunuels films= Belle de Jour, Viridiana, the obscure object of desire, L’age d’or, etc…
and there are more Bunuel films waiting in the shadows…
BECAUSE…only the SHADOW knows …

I highly recommend Bab Aziz; The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul.
It is a Moroccan/French production. The cinematography is superb, the story is completely enchanting, the music is DIVINE and the acting by one very young girl is exquisite!
