Lezioni di volo

Lezioni di volo, released internationally as Flying Lessons, is a 2007 Italian drama feature written and directed by Francesca Archibugi. Giovanna Mezzogiorno heads the cast, supported by performers such as Angela Finocchiaro, Roberto Citran, Anna Galiena, Flavio Bucci and Mariano Rigillo. Running roughly 106 minutes, the picture fits within Archibugi's longstanding interest in family dynamics and personal relationships in contemporary Italian society. Mezzogiorno's central performance drew considerable critical attention and brought her best-actress nominations at two of Italy's most prestigious film honours, the Nastro d'Argento and the David di Donatello awards. The film was distributed under various titles in different countries following its Italian release.
