Overview
The 2009 Italian Film Festival is already well under way at the Palace Cinemas in Sydney. Alongside the great line-up of new releases (including Michael Winterbottom’s much anticipated Genova) the festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary by screening a collection of past favourites.
However the pièce de résistance of this anniversary year has got to be the closing night film, La dolce vita. Federico Fellini’s Palme d’Or winning masterpiece is returning to the silver screen ahead of its own 50th birthday next year.
Experience Marcello Mastroianni’s seven-day romp around Roma as it was meant to be seen. Not to mention that fountain scene: Anita Ekberg’s seductive dip in la Fontana di Trevi is surely one of cinema’s most iconic moments.
Sunday 11th October: sign up for a taste of the sweet life.
