- Description: Italian Film Series - "Mafioso" (1962)
7:00 PM on Wednesday, February 1, 2017
Liberal Arts room 117
Join us for our 2nd Annual Italian Film Series at UMass Dartmouth, co-sponsored by the Foreign Literature and Languages Department and the History Department. Following last semester's topic on the Years of Lead, a period of socio-political turmoil and political terrorism between the 1960s and 1980s in Italy, we will be showing films regarding organized crime this semester.
To begin this semester's film series we will show "Mafioso(1962):
Antonio is a jolly and precise guy working for an auto factory in northern Italy. He decides to take his wife and two daughters on vacation to Sicily, so that they can finally see his hometown and meet his family. He's excited to show them around and dispel many of their negative stereotypes about Sicilians. He even dispels stereotypes about the mafia, saying that being a mafioso as a teen amounted to just being a messenger boy. But as Antonio reconnects with his past in Sicily, he finds out that there are more sides to being a Sicilian than he remembers (IMDB).
Free admission. All films have English subtitles.
Any questions may be directed to Prof. Rose Facchini at rose.facchini@umassd.edu or Prof. Matthew Sneider at msneider@umassd.edu.
