Successful Roman film director Salvatore Di Vita (Jacques Perrin) receives news from his mother in his Sicilian hometown that Alfredo (Philippe Noiret), the town&#8217;s former movie theater projectionist, has died. This prompts a flood of memories and emotions for the man who, now seen in flashback, was a father figure and mentor to the young Salvatore, and who encouraged his love of movies and the pursuit of his dreams, wherever they might lead him. Tornatore winningly evokes the world of 1950s smalltown Sicily, abetted by Ennio Morricone&#8217;s masterful score, Blasco Giurato&#8217;s rosy cinematography and a wonderful performance by Noiret.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director: <\/strong>Giuseppe Tornator (Italy\/France, 1988)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cast<\/strong>: Philippe Noiret, Salvatore Cascio, Jacques Perrin, Agnese Nano,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Genre: <\/strong>Drama<\/p>\n<p>More info can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/silver.afi.com\/Browsing\/Movies\/Details\/f-0100003809\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>A Family for 1640 Days<\/u>\u2014 <\/strong>February 15 at 8:00pm ET (French, with English ST)<\/p>\n<p><em>The Avalon Theater,\u00a05612 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20015<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Anna happily lives with her husband, their two boys, and Simon, 6 years-old, who was placed with her by the Social Care services when he was only 18 months.
