In 1909, four fearless entrepreneurs and then-unknown Irish writer James Joyce met in Trieste, the main port of the Austro-Hungarian empire, where he convinced them to expand their cinema business and invest in the opening of Ireland's first full time cinema. The Cinema Volta is not a historical documentary about the opening of a landmark cinema, but a light, spirited and modern personal search for the spirit of the people involved.
Reviews
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
