The Dryden will screen La Sapienza (Eugène Green, France/Italy 2014, 100 min., DCP, French and Italian w/subtitles) as part of the Eugène Green, series.

At the height of his career, architect Alexandre sets off for Italy with the idea of completing his draft—interrupted years earlier—of a book on architect Francesco Borromini. He is accompanied by his wife Alienor, who feels her relationship with her husband gradually slipping away along with the passion it used to inspire. During their journey, they meet siblings Goffredo and Lavinia; the former is about to embark in architectural studies, the latter is suffering from a nervous disorder. Alienor feels the need to stay by Lavinia's side to help her overcome her anxiety and suggests that her husband continue on his travels with Goffredo.
