Veteran filmmaker Virzì will face off with younger director De Angelis (on his third feature), in a head-to-head between two films that are very different, but both centre around two very special women. The Tuscan director’s comedy on the adventures of two crazy friends has been nominated for Best Film, Best Actress (both Valeria Bruni Tedeschi and Micaela Ramazzotti), Best Director, Best Supporting Actress (Valentina Carnelutti), and Best Original Screenplay, among other awards. Meanwhile De Angelis’ drama, which centres around two conjoined twins, has been nominated for  Best Film, Best Actress (sisters Angela and Marianna Fontana), Best Director, Best Supporting Actress (Antonia Truppo), Best Supporting Actor (Massimiliano Rossi), and Best Original Screenplay.
