After two big premiers last night today is an Italian day. Giorni e nuvole kicks off this morning with the press screening and premiere tonight On the red carpet will be the film’s two leads, Margherita Buy and Antonio Albanese, and the stars of Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Albert Finney and Marisa Tomei.

With this in mind I decided to visit the Fellini Oniricon exhibition in honor of the publication of the book Il libro dei miei sogni . Encouraged by psychoanalyst friends, the famous Italian director kept a notebook of his dreams for 22 years, filling 2 volumes with sketches and notes on his dreams and nightmares over the years.

It’s a wonderful exhibition if you care about Fellini, but even if you aren’t a huge fan it is quite fascinating to see the inner thoughts and subconscious worries of someone else, particularly someone so famous, laid bare on paper. It also has some sketches of his of people during his period, including Sophia Loren, Ingmar Bergman, Orson Wells, and Henry Kissinger, as well as amazing pictures that live somewhere between automatic drawing and comic books.

I was also particularly struck by some of the shared themes. Who hasn’t had a dream resembling this: “All alone at night in the middle of the ocean drifting in a rowboat with no oars and taking on water fast I make out black shark fins circling the boat at great speed!!! WHO IS GOING TO SAVE ME? HOW WILL I SAVE MYSELF?”

Another premier this evening will be Noise, featuring the brilliant Tim Robbins and Bridget Moyhnahan and directed by Henry Bean. This is not your usual film-it’s a rant. Or rather, it’s a rant with a storyline. On the one hand, you have the standard story of the lone protagonist fighting for justice against the odds featuring the standard array of self-satisfied politicians and accompanying hot girl. On the other hand, it is a huge rant that plays off the assumed shared hatred of everyone in the audience for rubbish trucks and car alarms waking you up at 3 in the morning, with some Hegelian justification thrown in for good measure.

That said, it is a thoroughly enjoyable film that will appeal to the angry self inside you that, like a car alarm, just wants to scream and scream and obliterate all the chaos and noise around you. Or just beat the crap out of a car with a baseball bat. Paralleling the main protagonist, David Owen (Robbins) to Odysseus as the lone adventurer who must leave behind home and hearth, Robbins is likeable even when being a jerk.

Don’t go to see this expecting a beautiful, artistic film. But, if you go with an open mind you’ll be glad you did.
