SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“Cavalli’s directorial eye is as sharp as her writer’s wit, a combination that makes for an unusually assured debut.”
94 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Carolina Cavalli. In Italian with English subtitles.
Born into an upper-class family with a doting mother who foots the bill for her indolent lifestyle, 24-year-old combative Amanda (emerging talent Benedetta Porcaroli) searches for boyfriends but only finds misfits who are repelled by her intensity. She longs for connection but has never had a friend of her own… until she discovers a long lost childhood bond, spurring a mission to convince another recluse that they are still best friends. A playful, provocative feature debut from writer-director Carolina Cavalli.
