Late? Don’t Think About It!
Eight films are on release tomorrow, some arriving in Italy later than others. First up is the multiple award-winning Juno by Jason Reitman, distributed by Fox almost six months after its European premiere at the RomeFilmFest, and a couple of Oscars for Best Original Screenplay.
Following a change in distributor – from Eagle Pictures to 01 Distribution – Gianni Zanasi’s Don’t Think About It [+see also:

film profile] is also finally coming out. The director returned behind the camera after a long absence years to make this family-set comedy that was much lauded in the Venice Days section at the latest Venice fest.
Another title from the same section is also hitting screens: Rodrigo Plà’s Spanish/Mexican feature debut The Zone [+see also:

Despite a distribution delay, Andrea Adriatico’s All'amore assente [+see also:
trailer
film profile] is enjoying perfect timing: this existential noir set in the political world comes out in the middle of the current electoral campaign. Vitagraph is releasing it on only one screen on April 5, first in Bologna and then, on dates still to be defined, in the rest of Italy.
Luca Lucini’ ensemble comedy Amore bugie & calcetto, on the other hand, besides featuring a team of strong and popular actors, is being released on 250 screens by top distributor Warner Bros. Italia.
The last two Europeans are French filmmakers who, however, went to Hollywood to direct the remake of a successful Hong Kong title. After Ils, David Moreau and Xavier Palud continue working in the horror genre with The Eye, distributed by Mediafilm. Will they return home or choose to stay in the US, like New Zealander Lee Tamahori, also on Italian screens with Next (Medusa)?
Last, but certainly not least, is Ben Affleck’s feature debut Gone Baby Gone. It is being distributed on few screens by Buena Vista, despite the director’s fame and the film’s critical success in the US.
