Tonight’s film comes from Italy.
La pazza gioia (2016)
Whether you’re learning Italian or just looking for something to watch, La pazza gioia is a moving film.
It tells the story of two women who escape a mental institution and maraud Tuscany in a stolen car. It would be pointless to place the film in any particular category - there are moments of laughter and joy, but also of great sadness.
