Mimì
metallurgico ferito nell'onore

Lina Wertmüller’s 1972 social satire, Mimì metallurgico ferito nell’onore, screened in a 4K-restored version. The film follows a Sicilian worker whose refusal to vote for the mafia candidate in the elections sets off consequences that cost him his job, his wife and his home. Things begin to improve when he meets Fiorella and starts a new life, but the past returns to haunt him in a crescendo of comic and absurd situations exposing political corruption and masculine obsession with honour. This screening is part of the Tesouros do Arquivo programme. Screened in Sala 2 with Portuguese, English, and LSE subtitles. Tickets are on sale on the Batalha Centro de Cinema website.
