Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2017
June 1 - 23, 2017
Edoardo De Angelis’s beautiful and beguiling Neapolitan fable centers around Dasy and Violet, beautiful, musically talented twins conjoined at the hip. After learning that they can be separated, Dasy falls in love and pursues a new life.
At first glance, identical twins Dasy and Violet (newcomers Angela and Marianna Fontana, in powerful debut performances) appear to have it all: they’re beautiful, gifted with captivating singing voices, and they do not want for gigs around Naples. They also happen to be conjoined at the hip, which is shamelessly exploited by their parents and close friends for money. But on the cusp of their 18th birthday, Dasy falls in love and pursues a new life after learning she can be separated from Violet. Balancing the beautiful and the perverse with poise, and featuring a beguiling soundtrack by renowned singer-songwriter Enzo Avitabile, Edoardo De Angelis’s third feature is a moving, eccentric fable about the pains of growing up, and the lengths to which one may go in order to fulfill a dream. Opening Night Film.
