Aroview: An audacious, bittersweet comedy-drama that swept the Italian Oscars and broke domestic box-office records.

Directed, co-written and starring Paola Cortellesi, it’s a tale of domestic hardship (and violence) in post-WWII Italy, filmed in black-and-white as a homage to Italian neo-realism but updated with fantasy sequences, anachronistic music, and sometimes uncomfortable satire.
