Actresses Valerie Bruni Tedeschi and Micaela Ramozzotti are at the height of their games as comically mismatched escapees from a mental institution. The story begins in a stately Tuscan villa converted into a retreat for unstable women. Beatrice (Tedeschi) is an entitled, manically motor-mouthed\u00a0compulsive liar. Donatella is a withdrawn depressive, deeply damaged by life. As much as Donatella dwells on the past, Beatrice lives for the moment, so when she sees an opportunity to get away from hospital staff, she seizes it, with Donatella in tow. The two hit the road on an outlaw odyssey that includes sexy cars, expensive dinners, fortunetellers, an ex-this and a former-that, and any manner of self-medicating, all without a Euro to scrounge between them. They aim to find happiness, but that turns out to be a tricky thing to nail down. Even a lighthearted jaunt in the Tuscan sun can take you to a deeper, more emotionally resonant destination.<\/p>\n

Known for comedies built around unhappy situations, writer\/director\u00a0Paolo Virzi<\/strong>\u00a0is a latter day torch-bearer for the\u00a0Commedia all’italiana<\/em>\u00a0tradition. Virzi got his start as a screenwriter for features and television, often teaming up with childhood friend Francesco Bruni. The pair wrote Virzi\u2019s debut feature,\u00a0La bella vita<\/em>,<\/em>\u00a0in 1994, which took the David di Donatello Award for Best New Director.\u00a0 Virzi has worked with both of his leading ladies before. Ramozzotti was awarded a Best Actress Donatello for her performance in Virzi\u2019s\u00a0The First Beautiful Thing<\/em>\u00a0(2010). The film would go on to be Italy\u2019s entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2011 Academy Awards. Valerie Bruni Tedeschi played a high-society housewife in\u00a0Human Capital<\/em>\u00a0(2014), Virzi\u2019s adaptation of the Stephen Amidon novel about the 2008 financial crisis. Virzi\u2019s first English language film,\u00a0The Leisure Seeker,<\/em>\u00a0starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland, is set for completion in 2017.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”http:\/\/dev.theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/world_cinema.jpg” image_size=”full”][mk_image src=”http:\/\/dev.theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/like-crazy.jpg” image_size=”full”][mk_image heading_title=”In Association with” src=”http:\/\/dev.theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/strand_releasing.jpg” image_size=”full”][mk_image src=”http:\/\/dev.theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bac-films.jpg” image_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
