The beginning of March saw the annual London Italian Film Festival at the Cine Lumiere as part of a week showcasing 10 new and exciting works from Italy. Last week, we wrote about five films we thought deserve wider recognition and support.
Two of them, especially, were absolute knockouts. Michele Placido’s forthcoming Angels of Evil and Matteo Brotugno and Daniele Coluccini’s poetic-realist look at life on a Roman council estate, the beautifully titled, Et In Terra Pax (And Peace On Earth).
As Placido’s film is released in the UK on 27th May we’re seriously hoping Brotugno and Coluccini’s film gets picked up for distribution because it’s a marvellous film and deserves to be seen. Brotugno and Coluccini kindly accepted my request for an interview to discuss their exploration of Roman life on a vast council estate in the suburbs of the Eternal City.

Last week saw the annual London Italian Film Festival showcase a week of exciting new Italian cinema at Ciné Lumière. This year’s raft of 10 titles was picked by Irene Bignardi and two Film London’s Adrian Wootton. They chose well. Very well, indeed. The festival continues throughout March at the Italian Cultural Institute with an homage to Federico Fellini and Mario Monicelli and a series of screenings focused on film and food.
Film-goers were treated to Passion (dir: Jon Turturro), We Believed (dir. Mario Martone), And Peace On Earth (dirs: Matteo Botrugno & Daniele Coluccini), Lost Kisses (dir. Roberta Torre), Basilicata Coast To Coast (dir. Rocco Papaleo), Angels of Evil (dir. Michele Placido), Sorelle Mai (dir. Marco Bellocchio), The Passion (dir. Carlo Mazzacurati), A Quiet Life (dir. Claudio Cupellini) and Gorbaciof (dir. Stefano Incerti).
One thing is for sure, all the films shown deserve to be seen and distributed in the UK.
