Summary/Abstract: The teaching of the Italian language as a foreign language in Serbia is focused primarily on the presentation of the standard Italian language which is undoubtedly a necessary and very important step in the process of learning the Italian language grammatical rules in the classroom. Nevertheless, the students should be aware of the many specific aspects of the contemporary Italian language such as: the neostandard, various dialects, slang and numerous linguistic varieties. In our opinion, film is one of the best and the most striking techniques in the teaching of a foreign language that offers students a very authentic and immediate way of getting to know the Italian language and cultural reality. In this work we will direct our attention to the phenomenon of the neostandard Italian language through the analysis of the basic characteristics of its morphology and syntax. For this purpose, we will use the examples taken from the film Caterina in the Big City. In our opinion, the phenomenon of the neostandard language represents a natural and linear process of the evolution of a language, because the language inevitably changes its characteristics through time, and the change is a crucial part of the language vitality.
