Carolina Cavalli | Italy | 2022 | 95m | Italian with English subtitles
with Benedetta Porcaroli, Galatea Bellugi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Michele Bravi

Born into an upper-class family with a doting mother who foots the bill for her indolent lifestyle, 24-year-old, combative Amanda (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.

"A refreshingly unconventional and acidic deadpan comic portrait of an offbeat female friendship." -Wendy Ide, Screen International

"It is a film of style and surface, and these are cleverly created and maintained." -Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Amanda is absurd and abrasive, but also sympathetic thanks to Porcaroli’s performance. She’s a flaming narcissist with a gooey core of vulnerability, a being forged by the fear of making herself known. - Critic's Pick" -Beatrice Loayza, New York Times

Tickets $8.75 ($8 cash at the door if available).
