The winner of the 2013 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was the Italian film, The Great Beauty. Written and directed by Paolo Sorrentino, this film depicts Jep Gambardella (Toni Servillo), an older man who has just turned 65, navigating his way through the elite night life of Rome. Jep gained his fame from one greatly acclaimed novel and then became a journalist. In this film, the audience watches Jep as he tries to move forward and examine his life. This film contains nudity, mild profanity, and references to drugs and alcohol.

What Our Students Are Saying

“The Language Learning Institute is the only venue which teaches more than just conversational Italian, other than enrolling in a college course. I had tried a few Italian language classes from other continuing education places but it was always the same: the class was dominated by those planning a trip to Italy and wanting to have travel vocabulary and phrases under their belts.

The Language Learning Institute teaches Italian as a true language-you learn by listening to Italian, speaking it, reading it and writing it. We have a text book and a workbook, and are tackling all the basics of a language-alphabet, grammar, idioms, the way the Italians think. The price is reasonable, the pace is great for working people, and the staff is extremely knowledgeable.”
