Movies presented by natives Italian

🎬 Amici miei (1975) A film that defined commedia all’italiana 🇮🇹 Movie will be presented by our friend Paolo aka Italian Paweł and his father. So it will be very Italian! :) Amici miei turns friendship, mischief and fear of growing older into a comedy that is both wildly funny and deeply melancholic. Its characters use jokes, chaos and shared rituals to escape respectability, routine and the passing of time. A zingarata is an improvised prank or absurd adventure undertaken purely for the pleasure of disrupting ordinary life. It has no practical purpose: its value lies in spontaneity, imagination and the feeling of freedom it creates. Why it matters — and why it is worth seeing 😂 It shows how Italian comedy can move effortlessly between laughter, cruelty and sadness. 🤝 It presents friendship as messy, selfish, loyal and emotionally necessary. 🎭 Its humour hides a serious reflection on ageing, disappointment and the fear of becoming ordinary. 🗣️ The idea of the zingarata, along with the film’s expressions and comic rituals, entered Italian popular culture. 🇮🇹 It became a genuine national phenomenon, inspiring sequels and remaining instantly recognisable to generations of Italian viewers. 🍷 A film about laughing together while time quietly catches up.

Initially his knowledge about Polish films was average. But then when he discover how usefull movies are as educational tools to talk about Poland things have changed. He started to focus more on the important movies about Polish history. Then one day in November 2015 he decided to share it not only during his work as a proffesional tour guide, but also to Couchsurfing community and all culturally hungry people, this time totally for free. Since that day in 2015 Paweł joined academy of Polish films academy, attended as many lectures as possible. Constantly reads about Polish cinema and developed his true passion. At one point Paweł did even screen several Polish low-budget productions inviting people who were involved in production. But it was difficult to find movies like that regularly. If you would like to screen yours movie or movie of your friend, let me know! When after almost 90 years Poland finally got first Oscar, (We have only one small category - foreign language film) Paweł organized screening of "Ida" in cinema twice. In his opinion English subtitles well very much cenzored which ... is the key reason why this movie get oscar. Nevertheless first Paweł's impression about the event was terrible. 60 people in the hall, for many of them it was the first Polish film they will ever see, at least half of them eating chips making huge noice with their plastic packages, one person even open yoghurt, take the spoon and start to eat regular supper... Paweł though that that will be huge failer, those people probably expect an easy entertainment, American style shallow action or comedy film, but... At the end of the screening there was about 2 minutes of total silence... and then huge applause after. Paweł thinks that something very important happened that night and those emotions related made this project very valuable! Each movie is followed by Pawel's or his friend introduction. Sometimes they also screen very rare and almost impossible to find online interviews with director. Off course all materials are with English subtitles. Sometimes screening of the movie is connected with the tour in the museum or around the city if the topic is related.
