You Laugh (Taviani, 1998): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 6.10pm
This 35mm presentation, part of the Taviani Brothers season, also screens on February 28th. You can find the full details here.
BFI introduction:
Some 15 years after the creative success of Kaos, the Tavianis returned
to one of their literary touchstones, adapting two contrasting stories
by Pirandello. A 1930s-set, musically themed satire opens the film. It
is followed by the tougher, but no less involving, story of two
kidnappings that take place a century apart. A stunning and richly
emotional film: what makes You Laugh so compelling is the way the
Tavianis find a common ground between these very different tales.
Here (and above) is an extract.
