Now in its 5th edition – but still as popular as the first one - SOME LIKE IT CLASSIC is here again: a program full of masterpieces of Cinema that has been pleasing every film buff in Rome for four years now. Just like the past editions, audiences will rediscover milestones in the history of the seventh art. All projections will be strictly in 35mm, a film format that is still the best way to experience the greatness of the Cinema of the past. The program begins with one of the wildest screwball comedies of all times: The Awful Truth by Leo McCarey, starring an amazing screen couple - Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. The Golden Age of Hollywood is represented also by masters like John Ford (The Prisoner of Shark Island), Joseph L. Mankiewicz (A Letter to Three Wives), Rouben Mamoulian (The Mark of Zorro), Charlie Chaplin (Limelight), and, last but not least, the young Orson Welles starring along with Joan Fontaine in Jane Eyre, based on the novel by Charlotte Brontë. This year, on the world map of great Cinema you will find Spain with the legendary The Spirit of the Beehive, by Víctor Erice; Russia, with Solaris, one of Tarkovsky's paramount masterpieces (here presented in a subtitled uncut version); and Hungary, with Silence and Cry, one of the highest peaks of Miklós Jancsó's art. From England here come Sons and Lovers by Jack Cardiff and The Draughtsman's Contract, Peter Greenaway's resounding first feature, and also Cul-de-sac, from the stateless genius of Roman Polanski. An unusual Melville (Leon Morin Priest) and a vintage Resnais (Mon oncle d’Amerique, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes) will wave the French flag, while Italy will be represented by Umberto D., the sensible masterpiece by De Sica, thus completing an exhilarating journey that any film lover can't afford to miss.
