On Sunday April 10, 2011 at 6:00 PM (with a rerun at 8:00 PM), the theatre of the Italian Cultural Centre in Zamalek will host the screening of the drama "A JOURNEY CALLED LOVE" (Italy, 2002) directed by Michele Placido and starring Laura Morante, Stefano Accorsi, Katy Saunders, Alessandro Haber, Galatea Ranzi, Dario Bandiera, and Diego Ribon.
Free entry, Italian with English subtitles.
The movie revolves about the life and loves of the poet and writer Sibilla Aleramo. Her life is marked by a long sequence of sentimental relationships as intense as they are brief up to the moment when young Dino Campana - the greatest poet of the period - rises arrogantly, pushing all others into the background.
"Nora is a cultured woman in her forties charming and independent. When she left her home town her name was Rina. She was fleeing a mother that committed suicide when she was only in her teens, and a violent husband who seduced her making her pregnant and desperate.
When young Nora makes the difficult decision to abandon everything, including her son Walter whom she adores, she is a young woman fragile and confused. The Nora that now lives in Florence in the pre-war years, looks a totally different person. Her friends are politicians, painters and writers, and all regard her as a great writer and intellectual."
