Description
Every month, Cinecitta hosts film specials entirely themed around a classic film. You buy a ticket, and we provide a matching snack and drink – creating a full cinematic experience. May’s featured classic is The Blues Brothers, one of the best comedy films of the 1980s.
The iconic musical comedy The Blues Brothers (1980) tells the outrageous story of brothers Jake and Elwood Blues, played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. After Jake’s release from prison, the duo embarks – in their own words – on “a mission from God” to reunite their old band. Their goal? To organize a benefit concert to save the orphanage where they grew up.
Director John Landis delivers a film packed with musical highlights, hilarious car chases, and legendary guest appearances by soul and blues icons such as James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and Cab Calloway. What started as a sketch on Saturday Night Live became a cult classic bursting with energy, humor, and unforgettable music.
