The world would be a far better place with more melodrama in it. Cinematically speaking, at least.
Take the debut film from director Piero Messina for example. Entitled L’Attesa, the former assistant director to Paolo Sorrentino on The Great Beauty takes the viewer to Sicily and introduces them to Anna, mother to Giuseppe, as she awaits his girlfriend’s arrival. Meeting one another for the first time, Anna and the beautiful Jeanne (Lou de Laage) are planning on sharing a few days before Easter together as they await the arrival of Guiseppe. However, as one would expect with any melodrama worth its weight in heightened emotions, things aren’t quite as they seem as both parties have secrets being hidden, making the connection the two make all the more powerful and all the more emotionally devastating. What starts out as a seemingly standard melodrama evolves into a moving meditation...

A total of 24 co-production projects and sections devoted to China, digital and remakes help make up Rome’s industry events.
The 8th Rome Film Festival (Nov 8-17) has revealed details of its International Film Market ahead of its launch next week.
Rome’s key industry initiatives – the informal The Business Street (TBS) screenings market and the New Cinema Network (Ncn) co-production market – will run from Nov 13-17.
Organisers are expecting distributors and producers from 45 countries and 700 accredited visitors as well as 24 selected projects, a China Day and a new initiative dedicated to remakes as well as meetings, panel discussions and conferences.
Single venue; digital focus
For its eighth edition, TBS will take place once again in Via Veneto, the street famously featured in Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita.
But for the first time both TBS and Ncn will be held in a single venue, the Hotel Bernini Bristol.
