IMDb wrote:
Francesca, a seventeen-year-old Roman, is finally sure she has found love. Almost sure. She spends the day observing other lovers’ behaviors and considering whether she is ready to jump. Her age notwithstanding, this movie is more about coming of age than about improper or illegal romantic relationships.

The post Alberto Lattuada – I dolci inganni aka Sweet deceptions (1960) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

‘A young novice is about to take her vows upon entering a convent when her recent past comes back to haunt her. Her priest has received an anonymous letter which suggests she is far from capable of pursuing the life of a nun. Distraught, the novice reveals the tragic tale that drove her to her present predicament. Previously, the novice, Rita, lived with her mother on a vast farm estate that she had inherited from her father. Unable to sell the farm until she came of age, Rita could only watch her mother become more miserable by the struggle to keep the farm running. To speed things up, Rita decides to get married. Unfortunately, the man she has in her sights also happens to be her mother’s lover…’

Quote:
A humble Milanese window-cleaner with dreams of magazine and TV fame accuses himself of the murder of a soprano from La Scala. “It’s a film close to my heart. It was an old project called Essere un mostro (‘Being a Monster’) and this, too, is the story of an ‘anti-hero’. Giannini was extraordinary”. (A. Lattuada)

The post Carlo Lizzani, Michelangelo Antonioni, Dino Risi, Federico Fellini, Francesco Maselli, Alberto Lattuada – L’amore in città AKA Love in the City (1953) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This is a lovely colorful adaptation of a novel by Anton Chekhov about the adventures of Jegoruska, an eight-year-old Russian boy, in a journey across the “steppe” or open plains of Russia on the en route from his home village to a market city where he is to go to school. It is in a way an allegorical trip which exposes him to some of the grimmest realities of life and some of its better ones. We get a social message as well, for example, the harsh conditions of the peasantry of 19th Century Russia. The director Alberto Lattuada often adapted Russian works or made films with Russian settings as in CUORE DI CANE, THE TEMPEST, and THE OVERCOAT. Most of the location scenes here were shot in Yugoslavia. The cast, which includes Charles Vanel as a priest and Marina Vlady as a countess, are uniformly good. Handsome young Daniele Spallone as the boy is marvelous.
