Captain Corelli's Mandolin
"Captain Corelli's Mandolin" is based on the novel by Louis de Bernieres, adapted by Shawn Slovo. The story takes place on a small Greek island, Cefalonia, during the first days of the World War II. The action begins when the Italian army leaded by Captain Corelli (Nicholas Cage) occupies the territory. Corelli falls in love with the beautiful Pelagia (Penélope Cruz), that is engaged with Mandras (Christian Bale), a young fisherman that has left his land to fight with his compatriots.
The film, distributed by UIP, can be seen in Catalan at the Multicines Chaplin in Palma, as part of the Cinema in Catalan programme promoted by the General Direction for Linguist Policy of the Balearic Government.
