Cinema Massimo – 14 February 2018, 9.00 p.m. – Screen Three
Continuing its collaboration with the National Cinema Museum , in its commitment to research significant meanings for the social dimension of existence, the Turin Psychoanalysis Centre is proposing the commented viewing of Pedro Almodovar’s film Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown as a moment for reflection.
This showcase deals with exploring the world of human affection, which is simple, although the way it is felt and expressed is not. Life experiences generate turbulence in affection, which can lead to evolution crises or shutdowns. Cinema offers the opportunity of drawing us into lots of human tales. The film will be introduced and commented by Paolo Roccato. Admission 6.00/4.00 euro.
