Italian Film Festival with Professor Val Franco

2019 marks the sixth year that Professor Val Franco has brought a selection of Italian films to the library for screening and discussion. This year’s set begins tonight with Me, Myself and Her (Io e Lei) (2015-102 min.). Marina and Federica (Sabrina Ferrilli, Margherita Buy) have lived together as a couple for five years in their gorgeous Rome apartment. Beautiful, funny, and independent, Marina has no doubts about her sexuality or her love for Federica. Federica, a respected architect with a marriage behind her and a grown son, has never declared herself a lesbian and is discreet about her relationship with Marina. When Federica runs into Marco (Fausto Maria Sciarappa), a man she once had a crush on, she starts asking what she really wants from life and love. Director Maria Sole Tognazzi scripted with Ivan Controneo and Francesca Marciano. In Italian with English subtitles.
