Good Folk's Sunday (Majano, 1953): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 8.40pm
This 35mm screening (also being shown on August 2nd) is part of the Sophia Loren season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.
BFI introduction:
This anthology of stories set on the day of a big football match in Rome
is a fine example of ‘pink neorealism’ – a sub-genre of films that
melded working class characters with 1930s-style populist comedy. An
entertaining satirical drama, it features terrific location shooting and
Loren in an early serious role, playing a melancholy widow trying to
chase down her lover, an unfaithful lawyer.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
