Italian for Beginners (2000)
Directed by Lone Scherfig
“Attendance optional. Passion required.”
Comedy, Drama, Romance · 1h 58m
Several lonely hearts in a semi-provincial suburb of a town in Denmark use a beginner's course in Italian as the platform to meet the romance of their lives. The film, which unspools the connections and family drama shared between the students, complies with several aesthetic principles of Dogme 95 movement.
