How much do we really know about ourselves when we make a decision? What if there are multiple versions of our I within us, each with something to say?After the global success of 2016s Perfect Strangers, writer/director Paolo Genovese has struck gold again with Somebody to Love, an hilarious, all-star romantic comedy that reveals the innermost thoughts and uncertainties of an Italian couple on their awkward first date in Rome.

Recently separated philosophy professor and father-of-one Piero (Edoardo Leo) has arrived for dinner at the home of Lara (Pilar Fogliati), a talented furniture restorer, who has recently ended her relationship with a married man.

As the two begin to get to know each other, they must also navigate their competing inner voices: the thoughts - whether instinctive, romantic, logical or impulsive - that guide their emotions and decisions. As the evening evolves, their hidden desires and quirks gradually come to light, along with their hearts unmistakeable desire to find a perfect match.

Skilfully blending charm and comedic expertise, Somebody to Love has swept over 2.5 million moviegoers off their feet to become Italys #1 box office hit of 2025. This is fresh, uproarious and crowd-pleasing entertainment at its best.

Opera in three acts (1859)
Screening direct from Paris, an all-star new performance of Verdis lush and gripping drama. A masquerade ball may seem like the place to be for a party, but its costumes and disguises can also encourage intrigue. Verdis opera was inspired by the assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden at a ball in 1792. But to avoid the scandal of representing a regicide on stage, Verdi set the story in America, focusing on the impossible love between Riccardo (Matthew Polenzani), the governor of Boston, andAmelia (Anna Netrebko), the wife of his unforgiving best friend, Renato (Ludovic Tzier). Blending lightness and seriousness, Verdi's music was a hit from the moment it premiered in Rome in 1859. Director Gilbert Deflo keeps the American setting but moves it to the time of Lincoln to better confront the world of reason and morality with that of intuition and belief.
