SCREENING OF “THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THE MOON” (L’UOMO CHE COMPRO’ LA LUNA) BY PAOLO ZUCCA (2018, 102 MIN)
Wednesday, August 21 at 6:30pm
Chicago Cultural Center
78 E Washington St, 2nd Floor
Presented by Cinema/Chicago with the collaboration of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago, on the occasion of Summer Screenings Program 2019.
In this absurdist, feel-good comedy, undercover Italian operative Kevin Pirelli is sent to his ancestral island to track down a Sardinian fisherman who has laid claim to the moon. In spite of his extensive training, nothing can quite prepare Kevin for the real Sardinia. At the heart of this time-honored tale of the clash between cultures is a story of love, honor, and homegoing. Italian and Sardinian with subtitles.
Dr. Veronica Vegna, University of Chicago, will lead a post-screening discussion.
Free and open to the public. Seats available on a first-come, first-served basis.
