Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2017
June 1 - 23, 2017
Irene Dionisio’s debut feature is a gripping moral drama that interlaces three storylines around a pawn shop in Turin.
Irene Dionisio’s debut feature is a gripping moral drama that weaves together the plights of three people connected to a pawn shop in Turin. Stefano (Fabrizio Falco) is torn between doing the right thing and keeping his new job as a pawnbroker after catching his morally bankrupt manager (Roberto De Francesco) deceiving customers, one of whom is Sandra (Christina Rosamilia), a transgender woman at odds with her past. Outside the pawn shop, Michele (Alfonso Santagata), a kindhearted family man, gets in too deep with some deceitful street hagglers who illegally buy up receipts from the shop’s customers. Lensed by César-winning DP Caroline Champetier (Holy Motors, I Can No Longer Hear the Guitar), Pawn Street tackles complex themes of shame and redemption with naked emotion and vivid realism.
