Add More Movie to your Pizza

You already celebrate Italy's delish culinary offerings -- life just wouldn't be the same without our three-times-a-week pizza habit, and prosciutto, and parmesan, and Prosecco, we could go on -- but perhaps you should broaden your Italian palate, so to speak, with some Italian films. That'll be extra-easy the next few weekends with the Italian Film Festival, held at various venues on the campus of Washington University (Forsyth and Skinker boulevards). At 8 p.m. on Friday, April 11, at Brown Hall, check out The Best Offer, a drama about an art auctioneer and a reclusive collector. Saturday, April 12, brings two film: Teorema Venezia at 5:30 p.m. and Qualche Nuvola, along with its director, Saverio Di Biagio, at 8 p.m. The former is a documentary about the struggles of beautiful, magical Venice, and the latter, a somewhat complicated love story. On Sunday, April 13, there's high-school comedy Il Rosso e il Blu at 5:30 p.m. and reality-TV comedy Reality at 8 p.m., both of which screen at Brown Hall. Tickets to all films, which are presented with subtitles, are free. For the next weekends' schedules and to watch trailers, visit www.italianfilmfestivalstlouis.com.
