Browning Cinema
New at the Browning
Directed by Mimmo Paladino
Not Rated, 93 minutes, DCP
In Italian with English subtitles
Discussion scheduled to follow screening!
A journey through a vast fresco painted with light. Its characters come together like figures in a Nativity scene, weaving stories, symbols, and words between folk tradition and experimental exploration. Dante, a silent witness, passes through it alongside Ugolino and Pontormo, Glenn Gould and Giordano Bruno. A poor family searches for shelter while awaiting five wandering Magi bearing gifts of music, theatre, painting, poetry—and nothingness. Will the Divine Comet lead them forth to see the stars again?
This film is being screened as part of the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art's temporary exhibition Mimmo Paladino: Present into Past. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Joseph Becherer, exhibition curator and director of the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, and Theodore J. Cachey Jr., Pizzo Family Chair in Dante Studies.
This is a free but ticketed event. To guarantee your seat, please pick up your tickets at least 15 minutes prior to the show, at which point your unclaimed tickets may be used to seat patrons waiting on standby. Tickets will be available for pick-up at the Ticket Office beginning one hour prior to the performance.
