Film screening: Vittoria De Sica’s ‘Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow’

To celebrate Festa Italia 2014 the Burgess Foundation and Societa’ Dante Alighieri Manchester are pleased to present an evening highlighting the unique connection between Anthony Burgess and Italian cinema and culture, focussing on the internationally acclaimed star Sophia Loren.

Including a presentation on the connections between Burgess, Loren and Italy, this evening features a full-length screening of Vittorio De Sica’s Oscar winning 1964 film leri, oggi e domain (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. Featuring Loren’s notorious striptease, recreated years later by Robert Altman in Prêt-à-Porter, Yesterday, Today Tomorrow remains one of the most loved Italian films of all time and, as Burgess met Sofia Loren on several occasions, highlights the unique connection between Burgess, Italian cinema and Italian culture.

Suitable for 15 years and over. Booking fee includes a glass of wine. Visit the shop to book tickets.
