Chesapeake Film Festival Closes Talbot Restaurant Week With
Big Night (1996) screening starring Stanley Tucci – March 21, 2010

In love and life, one big night can change everything…

Primo and Secondo are two brothers who have emigrated from Italy to open an Italian restaurant in America. Primo is the irascible and gifted chef, brilliant in his culinary genius, but determined not to squander his talent on making the routine dishes that customers expect. Secondo is the smooth front-man, trying to keep the restaurant financially afloat, despite few patrons other than a poor artist who pays with his paintings. The owner of the nearby Pascal’s restaurant, enormously successful (despite its mediocre fare), offers a solution – he will call his friend, a big-time jazz musician, to play a special benefit at their restaurant. Primo begins to prepare his masterpiece, a feast of a lifetime, for the brothers’ big night. (Film received eight awards and twelve nominations.)

Join the Chesapeake Film Festival Directors for a fun evening at the Historical Society of Talbot County Auditoriu , starting at 5 PM for screening and film’s featured foods and music.
