This week we have an after dinner screening of A Trip to Italy, the follow up to the popular The Trip by director Michael Winterbottom and stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
This will be a normal admission price screening. Advance reserved seating is available through the Sundance Cinemas website.
The Madison Film Forum wants you to stream one great film every week, attend at least one great film every month, and meet people doing the same. We don’t sponsor these screenings, we just support them by showing up.
As always, we have aggregated reviews of The Trip to Italy at our Flipboard Magazine. The film currently has a Tomatometer Rating of 86% at Rotten Tomatoes.
Review highlights include:
“This hedonistic japery is shot through with middle-aged melancholy and the fear of death.” David Denby, New Yorker
“If “The Trip to Italy begins shakily, it ends with expansive bliss …” Ty Burr, Boston Globe
“Coogan, Brydon and Winterbottom journey to the Mediterranean in this warmly enjoyable continuation of their improvised cultural and culinary adventures.” Scott Foundas, Variety
