Tea With Mussolini:
Florence, 1934. A diverse group of cultured ladies meet for tea each afternoon: Lady Hester Random (Maggie Smith), widow of the British Ambassador to Italy, Arabella (Judi Dench), an artist and singer, Georgie (Lily Tomlin), the exuberant American archaeologist, and the brash and uninhibited Elsa (Cher). One of their fold, Mary (Joan Plowright_, becomes surrogate mother to a young boy, Luca and he is soon virtually adopted and brought up by the group of ladies. But the shifting political climate begins to have serious consequences for this unconventional community and the maturing Luca must face up to a personal challenge of independence. Director Franco Zefferlli (Hamlet, The Champ, Romeo and Juliet), with co-screenwriter John Mortimer, based Tea With Mussonlini on his own experiences growing up in Florence.
How To Make An American Quilt:
Winona Ryder stars as Finn, a Berkeley graduate student whose summer months are divided between her thesis and pondering a marriage proposal at the home of her grandmother and great aunt (Oscar winners Ellen Burstyn and Anne Bancroft). Stories of a past love and heartache unfold from members of her grandmother's quilting bee and things get even more complicated when Finn meets the sexy Leon. Also starring Maya Angelou, kate Nelligan, Jean Simmons, Lois Smith and Alfre Woodard. How to Make an American Quilt brings unbridled passion, true love, betrayal, joy and heartbreak to life in a captivating story that celebrates finding your way and following your heart.
