Come and join us to watch another great movie: Facing Windows (Italy, 2003) (La Finestra di Fronte)

This is a really beautifully made film - not to be missed! - Movie has important Awards and Nominations and one of the most beautiful sound tracks of the last few years !

"Beautiful to look at and acted with full and tempestuous conviction, it still seems to be taking place in an apartment far across the way" (The Boston Globe)

"This lush, surreally flavored immersion in voyeurism and romantic dreams muses on many of the same themes as Alfred Hitchcockīs Read Window and Vertigo..." (The New York Times)

"Poignant and carefully observed..." (The San Francisco Chronicle)


We will have our exclusive PRIVATE MOVIE SHOW in a very nice venue in Midtown, with excellent image quality in a large screen, great sound system

IN ITALIAN (WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
