Lily James, Willem Dafoe and more star in soulful Italian period drama
Sedona, AZ — The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Finally Dawn” showing Aug. 22-28 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
“Finally Dawn” features a stellar ensemble cast, including Lily James, Willem Dafoe, Rebecca Antonaci, Joe Keery, Rachel Sennott, and Alba Rohrwacher.
A young Roman woman during the 1950s is on the verge of becoming engaged to a man. She goes to Cinecittà to do an audition as an extra and is thrust into this almost infinite night during which she discovers herself.
“Finally Dawn” is a soulful Italian period drama written and directed by Saverio Costanzo. The film is genuinely immersive in its ability to transport viewers to another time and place. Set during the 1950s and 1960s — an era when Hollywood productions flocked to Rome. The result was a cinematic fusion of classic Roman backdrops and American glamour that remains iconic to this day.
“Finally Dawn” uses this rich setting as a backdrop to tell an absorbing story that unfolds like a sprawling novel, full of twists, turns, and layered subplots.
“Finally Dawn” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Aug. 22-28. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 22, 23 and 24 at 7:00 p.m.; and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 25, 26, 27 and 28 at 4:00 p.m.
