Puccini for Beginners

Ten years after her lesbian teen romance, The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love, director Maria Maggenti charts a bisexual romantic triangle in the delightful Puccini for Beginners.

Focusing on a group of appealing New Yorkers uncertain where to look for love, it's a lesbian screwball farce about emotional commitment and the comic consequences of doing it on the rebound. With Gretchen Mol, Elizabeth Reaser, Julianne Nicholson, and Justin Kirk. (82 mins., 35mm)
