(2006) Italy. Director: Emanuele Crialese. Rated PG-13.
An unexpected love blossoms between a Sicilian widower and a mystery-shrouded Englishwoman during their steamship journey to the "new world." They vow to reach the America of their dreams, whatever the cost. Crialese's novel imagining of the journey between two worlds, from a past left behind to a family transformed, makes for a fascinating reinvention of the emigrant saga and its themes of hope, sacrifice and forgetting. In Italian with English subtitles. 35mm. 112 minutes.

Introduction and post-screening discussion facilitation provided by Andrea Mirabile, Assistant Professor, Department of French & Italian.
