Padre Padrone (Tavianis, 1977): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 3.20pm
This classic, which launched the Tavianis on the international stage and is being shown from a 4K digital restoration, is part of the Taviani Brothers season, and also screens on February 22nd. Full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
Neo-neorealism from the Taviani brothers, who emerged from the obscurity
of Italian television to take the grand prize at Cannes with this 1977
study of a boy growing up under the geographical and familial oppression
of Sardinia. Its sense of loneliness is frighteningly profound, while
its simple, straightforward style depends on a shrewd choice of telling,
sometimes surreal detail.
