November 29, 2026 – Scent Of A Woman (1992)
2h 36m Drama (R)
Al Pacino won an "Oscar" for his brilliant portrayal of an overbearing, blind retired Lieutenant Colonel who hires a young guardian to assist him. It is both a heart-warming and heart-wrenching tale of opposites attracting when they embark on a wild weekend trip that will change the lives of both men forever. In English. Hopefully next month we will be able to see the original Italian film from which it was adapted.
December 27, 2026 – Profumo Di Donna (1974)
1h 43m Drama (R)
A blind Italian Captain (Fausto Consolo), accompanied by his young aide Ciccio (Giovanni Bertazzi), who has been assigned to him by the army, is on his way from Turin to Naples to meet with an old comrade.
This Italian original from which "Scent of a Woman" was adapted has a special charm. It's a pity that the American remake completely lost the Italian culture, both of everyday life in Italy and the Italian way of doing cinema. In Italian with subtitles. (This film has been ordered from South Korea! Hopefully it will arrive in time and we can compare and contrast the two).
