Press Review: “Cultural Weekly” about Il Cinema Ritrovato
CLASSIC CINEMA IN LA
by Elisa Leonelli
(HFPA/Cultural Weekly, July 6, 2016)
“I’ve been a regular film festival-goer ever since I was 19-years-old studying Cinema at Bologna University, where I graduated with a thesis on Alain Robbe-Grillet, the French novelist and filmmaker. But I have never been more awed by a festival as I was last week, when I attended the 30th edition of Il Cinema Ritrovato (Rediscovered Cinema), organized by the Cineteca (Cinemathèque) of Bologna. I was in cinema heaven, watching Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times (1936) accompanied by a live orchestra in the main square, Piazza Maggiore.”
