Italian for Beginners
2000/12/07 (US) | Comedy, Drama, Romance
Attendance optional. Passion required.
Several lonely hearts in a semi-provincial suburb of a town in Denmark use a beginner's course in Italian as the platform to meet the romance of their lives. The film, which unspools the connections and family drama shared between the students, complies with several aesthetic principles of Dogme 95 movement.
