About this Event
Italy Through its Cinema - We All Loved Each Other So Much
Our journey through Italian cinema continues with a film that looks back at everything we have witnessed so far - and asks what became of the hopes, ideals and friendships that helped shape post-war Italy.
Ettore Scola’s We All Loved Each Other So Much (1974) follows three friends across three decades of Italian history, from their shared experience in the Resistance during the Second World War to the radically transformed Italy of the 1970s.
Through friendship, love, political ideals, compromise and disappointment, Scola charts the evolution of an entire generation - and, with it, the evolution of Italy itself. Moving effortlessly between comedy and melancholy, the film reflects on the promises of the Resistance, the economic boom and the gradual erosion of the ideals that once united its characters.
At the same time, it is a passionate love letter to Italian cinema, weaving the country’s films and filmmakers into the lives of its characters and showing how cinema became inseparable from Italy’s changing identity.
Join us as Italy Through Its Cinema continues - this time looking back over thirty years of history through one of the most moving, funny and deeply affectionate masterpieces of Italian cinema.
