Writer-director Gianni Di Gregorio also stars in this captivating tale of a middle-aged man devoted to his elderly mother, with whom he lives in Rome's picturesque Trastevere neighborhood. Together they bemoan the letters from their building's management to make good on overdue payments; they'd much rather spend time debating The Three Musketeers or planning elaborate, tantalizing meals. The building manager twists Gianni's arm to allow his own elderly mother and aunt to move into their apartment during the Pranzo di Ferragosto, Italy's biggest summer holiday. One thing leads to another and soon the man finds himself running what feels like a boarding house for geriatrics. Wryly amusing and full of surprises, MID-AUGUST LUNCH has been a prize-winner at festivals throughout Europe (including Venice and London), where its sly humor and humanity have been warmly appreciated. -Karen Cooper, Director, Film Forum
