Ster Kinekor Cinema Nouveau is offering ten double tickets to a screening of Italian movie A Stroke of Luck.
A Stroke of Luck (Questione di Cuoro) is the new film from Italian director Francesca Archibugi and will be released exclusively at all Cinema Nouveau Theatres nationwide from Friday, August 20 2010.
Starring Kim Rossi Stuart and Antonio Albanese, A Stroke of Luck takes audiences on a journey of friendship and ponders the mortality of life. This is seen from the experience of two men with virtually nothing in common, who strike up a close and trusting friendship while they also deal with the looming potential of their own mortality.
Successful screenwriter Alberto (Antonio Albanese) begins to suffer acute chest pains and checks himself into the hospital to find out the cause. Garage owner Angelo (Kim Rossi Stuart), meanwhile, has just suffered a life-threatening heart attack. By chance, the two men become hospital room-mates. In-between Alberto’s visitations from various movie industry friends (established via a series of cameos) and Angelo’s chats with pregnant wife Rosanna (Michaela Ramazzotti), the patients become acquainted, and before long they mutually regress to goofy, teenage behaviour and begin swapping confidences.
Angelo develops a deep-seated level of respect and admiration for Alberto – which prompts him to perceive the writer as someone who can provide for Rosanna and the kids after his own death; and Alberto, who has seldom been close to anyone, develops a real sense of what friendship and love means for the first time in his life.
A Stroke of Luck is a remarkable film about the things that really matter in life and will teach family and friends that despite differences we can all end up learning a lot from each other.
