Let me summarize your problem using an analogy: you are taught only the alphabet in class but are required to write shakespeare in the exam?
Because that's how it sounds like.

Pretty much precisely.
They also expect us to answer grammar questions on things like future tense, which we never taught either.
It's an awfully organised exam, so I'm just trying to scrape through it using strategy.

On the bright side, you said it's "a few scenes" and from "various... film". That got me thinking how it's actually possible to just pull out scenes that only contain basic Italian. Or to make it more challenging, scenes where the lines can get a bit complicated, but one where enough simple vocabulary were used, and you have to translate the lines not literally but based on what you feel the scene is expressing, like literature.
If it's either of the two, maybe just revising on simple vocab and grammar should suffice. Why not check with your professor?

Ah no, unfortunately it's a set collection of about 25 scenes from set movies. They all vary in difficulty, but it's unknown which scenes precisely will feature and which won't. As a result it's just a case of parrot-like memorization and repetition, which I fail to see how benefits us as students in the slightest.
