Puccini for Beginners *
Directed by: Maria Maggenti
New York writer and opera addict Allegra (Elizabeth Reaser, The Family Stone) loves her girlfriend Samantha (Julianne Nicholson, Kinsey), but can’t commit. When Samantha leaves her, Allegra rebounds with handsome philosophy professor Phillip (Justin Kirk, Angels in America) as well as the irresistibly beautiful, recently single Grace (Gretchen Mol, The Notorious Bettie Page). Allegra juggles secret relationships with both of them, never suspecting that Philip and Grace have a connection of their own. With a sophisticated blend of humor and irony, this screwball comedy twists and turns with all the drama of classic Puccini.
Directed by Maria Maggenti (The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love), PUCCINI FOR BEGINNERS was an Official Selection in the Sundance Film Festival 2006, and the opening night film for Outfest and the San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film Festival.
