Edizioni Farinelli has published a new Italian Film Study text for Caterina va in città. The film released in 2003, directed by Paolo Virzì and starring Sergio Castellitto, portrays a family's relocation from a small town to Rome. The focus is on daughter Caterina who finds herself in a new private school which reflects a microcosm of Italian society and its cultural and political divisions.
EF Film Study Program: Caterina va in città was written by Nicoletta Villa-Sella who teaches at the Linsly School in West Virginia and also serves as an adjunct professor at local area colleges. Ms. Villa-Sella has adroitly captured the essence of the Italian cultural and political divisions in "Spunti culturali" inserted throughout the text: "Politica in classe," "La sinistra in Italia," "Scioperi, manisfestazioni e girotondi," and more. The 64-page text is geared toward upper intermediate and advanced-level students. It covers seven sequences of the film as well as units on the plot, the director and a special concluding unit containing essay topics and additional vocabulary builders. There are also class discussion exercises throughout the text.
