Quote:
This ground-breaking film won a Special Jury Prize at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and established its director, Michelangelo Antonioni, as a major international talent. The plot concerns a yachting trip by a small group of jaded socialites, including Sandro (Gabriele Ferzetti), an aging architect who sold out for easy money long ago, his mistress Anna (Lea Massari), and her friend Claudia (Monica Vitti), who doesn’t fit in with the wealthy jet-setters’ dissolute ethics. When Anna disappears during a tour of a volcanic island, Claudia initially blames Sandro’s emotionally barren behavior toward her. As they search the island, however, Claudia and Sandro grow closer and — when it is apparent that Anna is gone forever — become lovers. Unfortunately, Sandro cannot find anything decent inside himself and betrays Claudia with a local prostitute. Caught in the act, Sandro has a heartrending breakdown on a desolate beach, but Claudia silently forgives him. L’avventura caught many audiences who were expecting a mystery by surprise; as in La notte (1961), The Eclipse (1962), and Red Desert (1964), Antonioni is interested less in developing a logical story than in exploring states of feeling and breakdowns in human connection.

Quote:
Miseries, grandeur, daily life of Celestina, orphaned country girl who arrives in Rome to be a maid, at first in a well-to-do houshold, then for a couple of loving retirees, then in a wealthy family. She falls in love with a plumber, gets pregnant, attempts suicide, then decides to survive for the child that will come.
The first film by scriptwriter A. Pietrangeli (1919-68), and the beginning of a rich gallery of female characters, which is perhaps his greatest title of glory.Despite its intimate key, it is considered one of the last examples of neo-realism.
One of its virtues is the absence of a thesis. Pietrangeli had intended to create a character to be typified gradually and to be followed in its evolution, attentive to the lessons of Rossellini: to show, not to demonstrate. He succeeded.

The post Roger Pigaut – Le Guêpier (1976) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Sicilia, late ’60s. Two men are killed during a hunting party. The hurried inquiry indicates that it was a killing made for ‘honor’ reasons. Paolo Laurana is a leftist professor not convinced of the official truth and starts investigating by himself. He finds some help from a solicitor, Mr. Rosello. While investigating, he is fascinated by Luisa, the widow of one of the victims. But the reality is too different from what Laurana could imagine. Reality includes not only the mafia and corrupt politicians, but also Church connections. The reality is that there could be only one end for Laurana. It won’t take long. [IMDb.com]

The post Elio Petri – A ciascuno il suo AKA We Still Kill the Old Way (1967) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
The story is set in a manor farm on the slopes of Etna near Catania, at the beginning of November, during some days of vacation that are the occasion for a family of the Sicilian bourgeoisie to come together.
Nino is a restless teenager of seventeen, who harbors an unbridled love passion for Cettina, the sister of his mother. The woman, who is married and mature, partly reciprocates the attention of his nephew Nino, but at the same time is interested in an associate of her husband, Sasà, young and handsome. The husband seems to push her toward the partner for the sake of convenience.
Cettina, conscious of the attention of Nino, provokes him with some attitudes, until one night she gives herself to him (and Nino says: “You, who are of my family, you have to be the first.”).
But the woman is not going to change her way of life, and a few days later Nino surprises her in a little house in the countryside while making love with Sasà. When the uncle’s associate is gone, leaving alone Cettina, Nino enters and slaps her.
At the end of the film the boy marries his cousin Giulietta, his same age, but speaking with the fiery aunt he understands that, however, their meetings may continue.

The post Mauro Bolognini – Un bellissimo novembre AKA That Splendid November (1969) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Camilla, a middle-aged Venetian widow, arrives in Rome to take up service as a maid with the Rossetti family, made up of Mario, a doctor, his wife Giovanna and their children Andrea and Cristina. The economic conditions of the Rossetti are not flourishing and this causes tensions and disagreements.

In addition, the Rossetti’s often meet up with Gianni, an invasive friend, rude and often involved in unclear business, who lives, without being married, with the remissive Donatella. Mario attempts a career advancement by preparing an exam to obtain a more rewarding qualification, but his studies are listless and are made difficult by family tensions, caused by the difficulty of maintaining the desired standard of living. Camilla, with her discreet but sure presence, made also of popular wisdom, is an element of cohesion for the family and manages to give serenity especially to children. Family tensions lead Mario to alcohol abuse and to court Paola, an old flame of his revised after many years, in turn unaware of Gianni’s casual approaches to his wife…
