WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Jan. 15, 2025 - PRLog -- (West Palm Beach, FL – January 14, 2025) The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival© (SASIFF), presented by MorseLife, returns early next year with more than two-dozen world-class movies from all over the world, concluding with THE FRENCH ITALIAN, which The Daily Beast calls "the funniest New York movie in years." The Florida Premiere of this funny, funny film will be shown on Sunday, February 2, at 7 pm at EVO Entertainment Delray Marketplace

THE FRENCH ITALIAN

(Comedy, 2024, Florida Premiere. Directed by Rachel Wolther. USA, 92-minutes)

A white lie about a plate of cookies is the first tipoff to the flexible ethics of 30-something Manhattan hipsters Valerie (Catherine Cohen) and Doug (Aristotle Athari). Trouble brews in the haven of their Upper West Side rent-controlled apartment when horrendous noise from below begin to punctuate their days. Rather than confronting the couple downstairs, the pair plan to trap their neighbor's actress girlfriend with a complex revenge scheme involving auditions and rehearsals for a non-existent play.  Spinning a comic clash of New York types and lifestyles, director/co-writer Wolther escalates the action to the tipping point of a fake opening night, where Emmy-nominated comedian Ikechukwu Ufomadu manages to steal the show in a tour de force performance. Chloe Cherry co-stars.
