Next Week in Bologna

The film tells the story of a pickpocket cinema projectionist who narrates three interconnected tales of tourists visiting Bologna during one summer. Each story presents a distinct character: a timid adjunct professor from Australia grapples with the unsettling news of his impending death while preparing for a presentation on the classic film Last Year at Marienbad.

Another narrative follows an apostate ex-priest who gifts a camcorder to a naive young couple, raising questions about his intentions. The final story focuses on the projectionist himself, who embarks on an adventure with a cautious Icelandic girl. This mix of humor and existential themes, along with its unique narrative style, makes Next Week in Bologna an intriguing watch for fans of independent cinema and comedy.
