Strangeness (La stranezza) at Lumiere Cinemas
Strangeness (La stranezza)
La Stranezza (Strangeness) follows Sicilian duo Salvatore Ficarra and Valentino Picone are comic legends in Italy; here, they join forces with the majestic Toni Servillo. This beautifully crafted period piece takes the legendary playwright Luigi Pirandello’s (Servillo) trip to Sicily as its inspiration. It imagines the improbable meeting between the playwright and a couple of Sicilian gravediggers who happen to do amateur theatre in their spare time. A clever, comical set up that might have inspired the Nobel Prize-winning play Six Characters in Search of an Author. Pirandello is drawn into a charming world of colourful personalities, ghostly apparitions, and amateur theatre. Will the great artist help the feckless thespians? Will the lovable dreamers take the opportunity of their lives? La Stranezza is hugely entertaining as it moves between fiction and reality. You don′t need to know anything about the literature to find hilarity in the likeable characters and be warmly reminded of the power of stories.
