Itaca, the Italian Student Association of the American University in Cairo presented the 2010 program of the Italian Film Forum. The first movie of the series will be "Nuovomondo" (The Golden Door) by Emanuele Crialese (2006) that will be screened tomorrow Tuesday, February 23 at 7:00 PM in Room 209 of the Main Building in Tahrir Campus with a special introduction by the writer Vincenzo Mattei.
Nuovomondo, 'The New World', is the story of a poor Italian family migrating to America at the beginning of the XXth century. Their dream of endless prosperity, tastefully portrayed by Crialese through the intermission of surrealist scenes in seas of milk and giant vegetables, has its darker counterpart in the strict examinations each family member undergoes once arrived. Through the story of this family the movie portrays the irreducible dignity of past and present migrants.
The movie will be in Italian language with English subtitles. Free Entry.
