| ITALIAN FOR BEGINNER (2000) | |
|
|
Italian for Beginners is shot in the Dogme 95 style, which brings the audience a crude, yet delicate story that surrounds a number of characters that are attending an Italian evening class. There is a young pastor who recently has lost his wife, a lonely middle-aged man, a hostile restaurant manager, an insecure and clumsy bakery assistant, a longing hairdresser, a young and attractive Italian woman wishing for a husband, and three older women who have been given a second chance. The students of the class all get to know each other through a number of emotional experiences that tie there lives together along with the Italian class. Italians for Beginners deals with a number of powerful issues such as death, love, hope, solitude, and forgiveness. These issues are cleverly tied together as the audience witnesses the raw cinematography of Dogma 95, which enhances the realism of each scene. The realism further enhances understanding for each issue addressed in the film as it leaves the audience with a terrific cinematic experience. |
