PRIMO LEVI’S JOURNEY (LA STRADA DI LEVI), Cinema Guild, Dir. Davide Ferrario. In the winter of 1945, Primo Levi, one of the century’s greatest writers, was liberated from the Auschwitz concentration camp. With the war still underway, he embarked on a thousand-mile journey to his home in Turin, Italy – a strange, beguiling odyssey memorialized in his book, The Reawakening. Sixty years later, director Davide Ferrario set out to follow in Levi’s footsteps. Retracing his historic trip, the film weaves a path through a modern Europe that has both changed and remained eerily the same – from democratic rallies in the East to neo-Nazi demonstrations in the West. Narrated by Academy Award winning actor Chris Cooper, PRIMO LEVI’S JOURNEY is a comic, frightening, picaresque road trip through history. Opening at the Laemmle Theatres on October 19.
