CINEMA SOTTO LE STELLE 2020
✨ L'Arte di Arrangiarsi - The Art of Getting Along✨
Join Us For Our Annual Tuesday Night Outdoor Italian Film Festival
This Summer's Theme: Celebrating 100 years of Alberto Sordi, the famous Italian actor who depicted Italy's virtues and vices in more than 160 movies and contributed to making Italian comedy famous worldwide.
L'Arte di Arrangiarsi - The Art of Getting Along 1955, by Luigi Zampa
In this movie Alberto Sordi plays a young Sicilian born at the end of the 19th century who survives the first half of the 20th century by sniffing out power dynamics and adapting accordingly: He becomes a socialist after falling in love with a young comrade; when Mussolini comes to power, he switches sides, climbing the ranks of the fascist government in Sicily; after the island is invaded halfway through World War II, he disguises himself as a communist, narrowly escaping the Americans and fleeing to Rome; finally, when their party wins big in the 1948 Italian elections, he joins the Christian Democrats.
