Description: Italian Film Series - "Nothing Left To Do But Cry" (1984),
7:00 PM on Wednesday, November 1, 2017
Liberal Arts room 117
Join us for our 3rd Annual Italian Film Series at UMass Dartmouth, co-sponsored by the Foreign Literature and Languages Department and the History Department. This semester, we will be delving into various films of the commedia italiana (Italian comedy) that make light of and meddle with the past.
Our second film of this semester will be the Italian Bill and Ted "Nothing Left To Do But Cry (1984):
Saverio, a teacher, and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation in which they find themselves, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fools of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. (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.
