Cinema Insieme Presents "Lamerica" March 28, 2011

Hello Fellow Film Lovers,

Please join us for Cinema Insieme's presentation of Lamerica (1994) on Monday March 28th at 7pm at the Pearl Company.

Two Italian racketeers come to Albania just after the fall of the communists to set up a fictive firm and pocket the grants. They need a stooge. They choose an old one in a jail : Spiro. But the youngest Italian, Gino, once alone with Spiro, encounters a few problems. Far from his roots, losing his identity in deep Albania, he begins to change.

"Lamerica" takes the audience through the devastation of post-communist Albania as it follows the odyssey of a young Italian man who has come to make some easy money but finds himself caught up in the same curious mix of hopeful despair etched into the faces of people he's come to swindle.

Directed by: Gianni Amelio ( Le chiavi di casa )

Presented by: Professor Ernesto Virgulti

Admission: $10 ( includes wine and cheese reception after the film)
