A humane and gently funny comedy
with a melancholy pull.

At last month's Film Night we announced we would be showing the most recent film by the talented young Italian Director Francesca Archibugi. Turns out we could not get a copy of this film formatted for an American audience. So we have decided to go with another one of Archibugi's great films. Please note we are also moving the screening time back to 8:00. We think the light will be better at that time for screening a film than at the originally declared time of 7:30.
The film we are going to show is
Towards Evening a wonderfully warm, humane, and gently funny comedy with a melancholy pull. It stars Italian screen legend Marcello Mastroianni as a cranky old professor who is not prepared to deal with letting his sweet little granddaughter into his life.
