UNA VITA DIFFICILE (A DIFFICULT LIFE)

Italy | 1961 | Dino Risi

UNA VITA DIFFICILE (A DIFFICULT LIFE) film still

Italian funnyman Alberto Sordi (The White Sheik, Mafioso) stars in this 62-year-old comedy that wasn’t released in the U.S. until just this year! Sordi plays an idealistic resistance fighter who turns left-wing journalist and novelist after WWII. But because he can’t stomach the values and money-grubbing in postwar Italy, his fortunes suffer. “Critic’s Pick…A stellar specimen of commedia all’italiana by a true maestro of the form.” –A.O. Scott, NY Times. “Italian social realism at its finest, funniest, and most heartbreaking.” –David Hudson. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 119 min.

General admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D.holders, and those age 25 & under $8.

Masks are currently optional for moviegoers, but still encouraged. Learn more under the “Face Coverings” section at cia.edu/covid.
