Film Screening – “Teresa the Thief”
July 22 at 7pm
Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley
Monica Vitti shines in this rare 4K restoration of Carlo Di Palma's directorial debut: a wry postwar tale of a war widow turning to petty theft to survive. Part melodrama, part comic picaresque, it's a deliciously offbeat character study that lets Vitti's magnetism steal every scene.
