Director: CARLO VERDONE

Reigning Italian comic Carlo Verdone and rising young star Silvio Muccino are paired together in this “light laugher with a serious underbelly,” writes veteran Variety critic Deborah Young. “The chemistry works just fine in a fluidly told, cross-generational tale about the destructiveness of making enemies and the importance of family.  With winning thesps and nothing provincial about it, this is one Italian comedy that could travel…”

This bright, vividly drawn family drama involves two radically different brothers taking divergent paths in the tumultuous ‘60s; younger Accio takes up with a Fascist organization while his brother Manrico is a dedicated leftist. With the aid of fellow screenwriters Sandro Petraglia and Stefano Rulli (the team behind 2003’s critical hit The Best of Youth), director Daniele Luchetti has crafted a touching and comedic political coming-of-age tale.

A hearty blend of dark humor and heartbreak, Prague divulges the secrets of a disintegrating marriage with both empathy and brutal honesty.

For Christoffer, abandoned 25 years earlier despite his outward stoicism, it’s only a question of getting him packed into a coffin, and back to the family grave site so he can return to everyday life with his wife and their 12-year-old son.

The Rest is Silence comes like a breath of fresh air, writes Variety critic Derek Elley, at a time when it’s easy to assume, from fests’ picks, that (currently “hot”) Romanian cinema is all grungy drama. This lively, witty widescreen costumer, about the making of the country’s first feature-length movie, is an intelligent crowd-pleaser made with affection for its characters and era.
