(La versione di Mario)
Italian cinema’s greatest secret is revealed in this in-depth portrait of director Mario Monicelli, an artist responsible for such classics as Big Deal on Madonna Street and The Organizer yet who sadly remains little known outside his home country. Sometimes condemned by critics but always loved by audiences, Monicelli was blessed with a personality as passionate as it was powerful, and as brusque as it was beloved. Critics, assistants, collaborators, and stars (including Claudia Cardinale) lend their memories to this fascinating look at not only a filmmaker, but an entire era of Italian film.
• (83 mins, In Italian with English subtitles, Color, DCP, From Luce-Cinecittà)
