In Alberto Lattuada's brilliant dark comedy, auto-factory foreman Nino (Alberto Sordi) takes his proper, modern wife (Norma Bengell) and 2 blonde daughters from industrial Milan to antiquated rural Sicily to visit his family and get back in touch with his roots. But Antonio gets more than he bargained for when he discovers some harsh truths about his ancestors - and himself. The first Italian film to dramatize the modern mafia, Lattuada's devastatingly funny character study is equal parts culture-clash farce and existential nightmare. Extras include 1996 interview with Lattuada by filmmaker Daniele Luchetti, new interviews with Alessandro Lattuada and Carla Del Poggio, trailers, stills, essays, and more. Alberto Lattuada's 1962 film was one of the first Italian films to deal head-on with the Mafia, albeit in the form of an incredibly smart black comedy. Nino (Alberto Sordi) is just an ordinary, unassuming auto-factory worker. That is, until he takes his wife (Norma Bengell) and two daughters to visit his relatives in Sicily. Far from the teeming streets of Milan, Nino hopes to get in touch with his family history. Unfortunately for him, he soon learns that his family tree is rotten to the core. Now everything he thought he knew about himself is about to change.

A couple's marriage is nearly destroyed by their attempts to save it in this farcical comedy. Dan and Valerie Edwards (Frank Sinatra and Deborah Kerr) are a couple who have been married for close to 20 years. Dan, a busy but successful advertising executive, believes they have a happy relationship, but Valerie feels stifled and thinks her once fun-loving husband has become a bore. Valerie consults a lawyer, Shad Nathan (John McGiver), about a divorce, but Nathan suggests she give things one more try, and recommends a romantic second honeymoon to put the spark back in their relationship. Following his advice, Valerie books a vacation in Mexico; Dan agrees to join her, but once they arrive south of the border, they encounter Miguel Santos (Cesar Romero), an overzealous shyster lawyer who grants them a divorce before they're entirely aware of what's happening. Dan and Valerie take the matter in stride and decide to use it as an opportunity to renew their vows, but ...

The word "quirky" has become the quick and easy way to describe films such as LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and LARS AND THE REAL GIRL that straddle the lines between indie and studio films and comedy and drama. While JUNO fits into that same category, this distinctive dramedy is in a class all its own. Ellen Page (X-MEN: THE LAST STAND) stars as Juno, a witty teenage girl whose boredom doesn't lead her to the mall. Instead, she makes a one-time trip into the arms of her best friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). When Juno discovers that she's pregnant, she's forced to grow up fast as she tries to find adoptive parents for her quickly growing child.
JUNO might have a lot of strengths--Page's award-worthy performance, a pitch-perfect soundtrack, excellent direction from Jason Reitman--but it's the screenwriting debut of writer Cody Diablo that makes this such a winning film. Famous for her blog and her book CANDY GIRL: A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF AN UNLIKELY STRIPPER, Diablo has a unique voice and an incredible ear for dialogue. But even the nearly perfect script wouldn't sound so good if it weren't for the talents of these actors, particularly Page. She won raves for her first major role in HARD CANDY, but this performance proves it wasn't a fluke. The rest of the cast, especially J.K. Simmons as Juno's ...

When Norman discovers soon thereafter that Peggy, yet another co-worker, has been plotting to rob Mr. Freeman's store with the help of her suave, unfaithful boyfriend ...
