Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2017
June 1 - 23, 2017
Exquisitely blending tragedy with quiet joy, Daniele Vicari’s vividly realistic ode to urban living follows lifelong friends Eli and Vale, working women caught up in life’s unrelenting demands.
In this tragic ode to urban living from writer-director Daniele Vicari, Eli (Isabella Ragonese) puts herself through a crushing daily grind—a two-hour commute from the outskirts of Rome that’s slowly taking a toll on her health—in order to support her unemployed, loving husband and their children. Meanwhile her lifelong best friend Vale (Eva Grieco in her debut role), a dancer living on her own, is faced with her own struggles after taking in a coworker who was beaten by her boyfriend. Beautifully blending melancholy with quiet joy, Vicari’s latest is a sorrowful, sensitively observed study of straphangers caught up in life’s unrelenting demands.
