February 17, 2022
The inaugural film of our Staging Injustice Film Series, Novecento (1976) is directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and features Robert De Niro, Gérad Depardieu, and Dominique Sanda.
Synopsis (via Wikipedia): Set in Bertolucci’s ancestral region of Emilia, the film chronicles the lives and friendship of two men – the landowning Alfredo Berlinghieri (De Niro) and the peasant Olmo Dalcò (Depardieu) – as they witness and participate in the political conflicts between fascism and communism that took place in Italy in the first half of the 20th century. The film premiered out of competition at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival.
*Please note: the film is divided into two parts. The first part will be screened on Feb. 17 at 6pm, and the second part will be screened the following day at 6pm.
