He attends chic dinners and parties, where his sparkling wit and refined company are always welcome.

Written and directed by Alice Rohrwacher and i t was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Best Screenplay Award. His first time in the big city, Lazzaro is like a fragment of the past lost in the modern world. A friendship so precious that it will travel in time and transport Lazzaro in search of Tancredi. This strange and improbable alliance is a revelation for Lazzaro. A loyal bond is sealed when Tancredi asks Lazzaro to help him orchestrate his own kidnapping. Life in their isolated pastoral village Inviolata is dominated by the terrible Marchesa Alfonsina de Luna, the queen of cigarettes. This is the tale of a meeting between Lazzaro, a young peasant so good that he is often mistaken for simple-minded, and Tancredi, a young nobleman cursed by his imagination. Starring: Adriano Tardiolo, Agnese Graziani, Luca Chikovani, Alba Rohrwacher, Sergi López This comedy of manners from Paolo Genovese is a fiendishly clever take on decorum in the age of modern technology, and poses the question: how well do we really know those close to us? The film has gone on to be remade in Mexico, South Korea, Germany, China, France, Turkey, Spain, Greece and Poland with another in pre-production in Egypt/Lebanon. But what seems at first like an innocent and playful distraction between friends quickly turns into something more, as the messages start to reveal some eye-opening secrets and how little they may truly know about each other. Instead, in a communal fit of ‘we have nothing to hide’ bravado, they place their devices on the table, and all incoming calls and texts are shared with the group. Seven long-time friends gather one night for a dinner party and agree that no private calls or messages will disrupt their evening. Starring: Valerio Mastandrea, Kasia Smutniak, Marco Giallini, Alba Rohrwacher, Anna Foglietta, Giuseppe Battiston, Edoardo Leo, Benedetta Porcaroli, Elisabetta De Palo, Tommaso Tatafiore, Noemi Pagotto Joined by their bizarre friends Benedetta and Donato, the two fiancées start to prepare the ceremony, but will Paolo’s conservative mother, Vincenza, attend the wedding? And, above all, will Roberto support his son?
His mother, Anna, immediately accepts their intentions, as long as all traditions are respected: the future mother-in-law will have to attend the wedding, a famous wedding planner will be in charge of the organisation and the marriage will be celebrated by her husband, Roberto, the mayor of the town, who has based all his politics on hospitality and integration. Even if still not sure about their families’ reactions, they decide to get married in Italy, in the small village from where Antonio’s parents live. Starring: Diego Abatantuono, Monica Guerritore, Cristiano Caccamo, Salvatore Esposito, Dino Abbrescia, Diana Del BufaloĪntonio has finally found the love of his life, Paolo, with whom he lives happily in Berlin.
