SFIFF50: ITALIAN FILMS This year the San Francisco International Film Festival will host two films from Italy that should not be missed! ALONG THE RIDGE Along the Ridge (Anche Libero va bene), by the Italian film and theatre actor Kim Rossi Stuart, explores a family in torment. 11-year-old Tommy, his teenage sister Viola and their volatile father Renato struggle with the emotional fallout created by the absence of wife and mother Stefania. Told from young Tommy`s perspective, this film is a powerfully real family portrait. This film is the New Director Section and is in competition for the SKYY Prize. THE CAIMAN The Caiman (Il Caimano) is Nanni Moretti`s return to the political satire that is his trademark. This story of a washed-up film producer viciously attacks Berlusconi`s political machinations while affectionately mocking the Italian film industry, bourgeois family values and middle-aged machismo.
