Exclusive Trailer: Anna & Cristi Are Cost-effective in Ciro De Caro’s ‘Taxi Monamour’

Known for his debut feature Spaghetti Story (2013), Italian filmmaker Ciro De Caro makes a return visit to the Giornate degli Autori programme this year with Taxi Monamour. After having premiered Giulia back in 2021, this fourth feature film also explores relationships and personal struggles – this time focusing on two women who are seemingly very different but who share a lot of similitudes. Starring Rosa Palasciano as Anna and Yeva Sai (in her feature debut) as Cristi, Anna is conflicted, on the outs with her own family, and facing an illness on her own, while Cristi has fled a war that keeps her far away from her home. Everyone tells Anna to accompany her partner on a business trip; Cristi is told to stay in Italy, where she’s safe. Their brief encounter will be a dash for freedom. We have the exclusive trailer to this competition entry – which will have its world premiere next week.
