About the Event
An Italian comedy film directed by and starring Roberto Benigni in dual roles.
Johnny Stecchino follows the life of Dante, a quirky school bus driver for students with Down syndrome, who bears a striking resemblance to Johnny Stecchino, an Italian mafioso who is wanted by Sicilian mobsters for treason and murder. The film's plot begins to unravel when Dante meets Maria, the wife of Stecchino, who begins her plan into tricking mobsters to kill Dante thinking he is Stecchino. The film takes several unexpected twists when Maria begins to fall for Dante, and it becomes clear that Dante cannot possibly be the cold-blooded killer Johnny Stecchino.
In Italian with English subtitles. Suggested donation $5.
