Venom Gift

Knud Leif Thomsen / Denmark / 1966 / 96 min / Danish

Thomsen’s Danish-style Teorema (1968) predating Pasolini’s is as double-edged as its title (gift meaning both “poison” and “married”). The director conceived it as a polemical tract against pornography and the moral decay of Danish society. But by filling it with nudity and hardcore snippets, he ironically paved the way for a censorship-free Denmark, which in 1969 became the first country to legalize pornography. The censors covered the explicit scenes with thick white crosses (making them somehow even more obscene). And it is precisely on such a historical 35mm print that we will have the pleasure to see the film!

Francesco Sossai breathes new life into Italian comedy with a bittersweet road movie. Together with two old friends, we wander through the Venetian lowlands, empty our glasses, and try to remember the “truly incredible thing about life” that Carlo Bianchi discovered. It was the big winner at the prestigious Italian David di Donatello film awards.
