The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents MFAH Film Premieres. Enjoy these critically acclaimed, award-winning international films as they make their Houston debut!

Passione
2010, in English and Italian with English subtitles
Directed by John Turturro

Director John Turturro has been invited to attend the Saturday screening.

A brilliant actor in film, theater, and television, Turturro is a man whose talents are fueled by an unquenchable zest for life. He describes Passione as “a musical adventure that comes directly out of the people and the volcanic land they inhabit. Conjuring ancient stories and myths that still live — of love, sex, jealousy, and social protest — each song is a small screenplay, an emotional postcard. I tried to see if I could understand in a small way, a little bit of the soul of the city, while at the same time killing clichés about it. There are places you go and once is enough. Then, there’s Napoli.”

Passione features John Turturro together with an elite ensemble cast of musicians including Avion Travel, Massimo Ranieri, Lina Sastri, M’barka Ben Taleb, Gennaro Cosmo Parlato, Peppe Barra, Angela Luce, Max Casella, Raiz, James Senese, Fiorello, Pino Daniele and others. – Film Forum

Cosponsored by the Houston Cinema Arts Society.
