THE SALT OF LIFE
(NR) 90min
[in Italian with subtitles]
May 29 - 31, 5:30 and 7:45
From the director-star of the delightful Mid-August Lunch comes another small gem. This gentle comedy again stars director Gionni DiGregorio who feels invisible to all the women in his life. His aristocratic mother is spending his inheritance while his unaffectionate wife spends his pension. He spends more time talking to his daughter’s slacker boyfriend than to his daughter. He flirts with his wild young neighbor but she’s only glad he walks her dog. His best friend tells him to be a good Italian and get a mistress and Gionni tries his best to generate an extracurricular love-life with hilarious and poignant results.
