Eventi / Talking Pictures

Ogni mercoledi viene proiettato un film generalmente in lingua originale su un argomento specifico o su una personalità del mondo del cinema. Gli incontri, pensati come un'occasione per discutere di cinema in senso più ampio, iniziano con una breve introduzione cui seguono la proiezione del film e un dibattito informale.

Film: The Pickwick Papers

"All real gentlemen are a little off".

'What can one reasonably expect of a movie of "Pickwick Papers" to be? A muster of personality sketches and humorous escapades? An amiable take-off on an era, done in a freely flowing style? That is the sum of the original. And that is what Mr Langley has contrived in a loose and farcical fashion within a limited motion-picture frame.' (New York Times). Dickens's (rather Boz's) sketches of Victorian gentlemen embarked on a mission to study human nature receives suitable comic/farcical treatment. 'As welcome as the sun in the morning and as British as a cup of tea" (The Daily Mirror).
