Good news for Italian movie lovers! The Tribeca Film Festival announced 47 of the 87 films that will screen during its 13th edition, running April 16-27 and Italy will be represented by Paolo Virzì with his newest, Il Capitale Umano (Human Capital).
Il Capitale Umano stars Valeria Golino, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Luigi Lo Cascio, and Fabrizio Bentivoglio and is based on a wonderful book, Human Capital, written by Stephen Amidon. Let’s hope we see Virzì and all the rest in New York in April!
Human Capital (Il capitale umano)
Directed and written by Paolo Virzì, co-written by Francesco Bruni and Francesco Piccolo
(Italy, France) – International Premiere
In Paolo Virzì’s refined three-chapter tale, we begin at the end. Approaching a snowy night from three vastly different perspectives, the lives of two generations overlap as they tumble toward an ill-fated event that inextricably links them. Starring two of Italy’s leading actresses, Valeria Golino and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Human Capital twists love, class, and ambition into a singular, true-life story that exposes the consequences of valuing certain human lives over others. In Italian with subtitles.
“Variously inspired by individual interests and experience and driven by an intense sensibility of style, the array of new filmmaking voices in this year’s competition is especially impressive and I think memorable,” Frederic Boyer, the fest’s artistic director, promised.
