Italian Movie Night at Gallery 40
November 6, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Buongiorno, notte (Good Morning, Night) is an Italian film released in 2003 and directed by Marco Bellocchio. The title of the feature film, Good Morning, Night, is taken from a poem by Emily Dickinson.
The movie relates to an important fact in the modern Italian history: the 1978 kidnapping of Aldo Moro former prime minister of Italy and leader of the Democrazia Cristiana party by the Red Brigades and the consequences on the political and social life in Italy.
In Italy the 1970s were defined as the Anni di Piombo, Years of Lead because of the darkness of the political scene. For this reason, it seems appropriate to accompany the movie with Negroamaro, meaning “black and bitter”). A red wine grape that can produce wines very deep in color. Wines made from Negroamaro tend to be very rustic in character, combining perfume with an earthy bitterness.
Movie in Italian with English subtitles: $5 suggested donation to support the program and the Pirandello School of Italian.
