FLORENCE, S.C. – The Francis Marion University Cinema 2008-09 Film Series will feature Marco Bellocchio’s “My Mother’s Smile” on Feb. 17.

The film may be viewed at 3:30 and 8 p.m. in the Cauthen Educational Media Center’s Lowrimore Auditorium. Admission is free and open to the public.

This film involves Ernesto, a successful artist who has his life turned upside down by his family's wishes for the canonization of his murdered mother. His extreme dislike for her ignorant ways brings about a greater connection with his insane brother who killed her, while his other brothers favor her beatification. There is a struggle of wills and will power.
