At War with Love
Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2017
June 1 - 23, 2017
Something like Forrest Gump by way of Mel Brooks, the latest by Pierfrancesco Diliberto (a.k.a. Pif, renowned TV host and political comedian) is a tender yet irreverent comedy set against the backdrop of World War II.
The latest by Pierfrancesco Diliberto (a.k.a. Pif, Italy’s renowned TV host and political comedian) is a tender comedy set against the backdrop of World War II. Sicilian emigrant Arturo (Pif) is in love with Flora (Miriam Leone), but she’s betrothed to the son of a New York mafia boss. Arturo’s only option is to ask Flora’s father for her hand—however, he still lives in Sicily. Penniless but determined, Arturo takes a “free” passage to Italy by enlisting in the U.S. military at the start of the Allied invasion. Mixing history with outrageous comedy and political satire, At War with Love is like Forrest Gump by way of Mel Brooks—equal parts funny, charming, and irreverent.
