The Thousands

Description:
With a Prime Minister romping around with bikini-clad teenagers and blowing his nose with a $1000 bill, you’d think the Italians would have enough entertainment without the need for movies. However, as we don’t exist amidst such amusement, this collection of the country’s cinematic gems is somewhat eye opening – and this 10th anniversary special has some true highlights. Showing alongside the brand spanking contemporaries (like thriller Vincere) are festival favourites and absolute classics (like La Dolce Vita). – JB
