The Department of French and Italian invites you to the first screening of the Italian Film Series (Fall 2024).

Pif, La Mafia uccide solo d’estate (The Mafia Kills Only in Summer), 2013

This subversive, irreverent dark comedy features the story of Arturo, a young boy whose obsession with the Mafia’s casual presence in his city surpasses even his passion for Flora, the beautiful schoolmate who remains his main love interest until adulthood.

Through Arturo’s eyes, we learn the most tragic events in Italy’s recent history…

Audience Award at the Torino Film Festival, Mafia is a brave and intelligent dark comedy with a powerful message.

"…original, winning entertainment, and well executed. No pun intended." - G. Allen Johnson, The San Francisco Chronicle

Time: 5:30 PM
Location: Pigott Hall, 260-252 

The movie will have English subtitles.
