LA DEA FORTUNA (“THE GODdESS OF FORTUNE”) BY FERZAN ÖZPETEK AT THE EUROPEAN UNION FILM FESTIVAL 2020

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14 - Online

​The Canadian Film Institute, the European Union Film Festival in Toronto, and The Cinematheque in Vancouver have joined forces with the Delegation of the European Union and the Embassies and Consulates of EU Member States to present the first-ever online edition of the European Union Film Festival (EUFF) in Canada, featuring 27 films from as many EU countries, running November 13 to 29, 2020.
Italy will be represented by Ferzan Özpetek's multi-award winner latest film, La dea fortuna, starring Jasmine Trinca, Edoardo Leo and Stefano Accorsi. The film will be available for 48 hours starting Saturday, November 14.
Alessandro and Arturo have been together for over fifteen years. Despite the strong feelings they still have for each other, their relationship seems to have entered that dreaded middle-aged crisis stage as they both near the age of fifty. Into this already fraught and fragile situation bursts Alessandro’s best friend and former lover, Annamaria. She arrives unexpectedly and asks them to take care of her two kids for a few days, as she is being admitted to a hospital due to recurring headaches.
By turns amusing, tender, and tough-minded, The Goddess of Fortune features finely tuned performances and a witty, observant, sometimes trenchant script that probes the intensities and ironies of contemporary Italian mores.
Italy, 2019, 114 min., in Italian with English subtitles.
