I Vitelloni Directed by Federico Fellini. Italy 1953. 109 min. Alberto Sordi, Franco Fabrizi, Franco Interlenghi With his third film, 33-year old Fellini made his name and found his voice: evolving from Italian Neo-Realism into a freer, more poetic and episodic style.The narrative is sprinkled with many of his recurrent motifs: variété and carneval; storms and windswept beaches, the Catholic Church; the happy fool and the wise child – all bound with intregral musicality, the second of many collaborations with the composer Nino Rota. Fellini's life flowed freely into his works; more than half were autobiographical, pursuits of memory in quest of identity, meaning and direction. Although filmed itinerantly in other locations, I Vitelloni plays in a sleepy seaside town distinctly like his native Rimini. Five mates while away their days, bored with acting forever young, yet reluctant to become like their parents. With gentle irony, an unseen narrator presents them typologically. ʺThe youngestʺ is Moraldo (Interlenghi), the cineaste’s alter ego. Like the town, the characters were so recognisable that local families took offence; but the mood, chemistry, predicaments are transferable. The film has been cited as inspiration for Scorsese’s Mean Streets, Lucas’ American Graffiti (both 1973), and many more. Stanley Kubrick said I Vitelloni was his favourite film. ʺIt shows all of Fellini's unrivaled virtues -- his lyrical sense of place, his abiding affection for even the most hapless of his characters, his effortless knack for limpid, bustling composition -- and very few of his putative vices.ʺ A.O.

Amedeo Nazzari and National Melodramatic Masculinity
Maria Elena D’Amelio ‘The ideal man’. Amedeo Nazzari and national melodramatic masculinity In 1939 the film magazine Cinema organized a survey among its read- ers, to establish who was the most popular actor in Italy. Amedeo Nazzari came in first with 19,020 votes, widely surpassing the other candidates, such as Fosco Giachetti and Vittorio De Sica1. Nazzari, born in Sardinia in 1907, had just achieved enormous success with two films directed by Goffredo Alessandrini, Cavalleria (1936) and Luciano Serra pilota (1938). With the latter Nazzari had also won the Coppa Mussolini at the Venice Film Festival in 1938. Due to the popularity of these films in Fascist Italy, with their themes of masculine heroism and war sacrifice, the result of the 1939 survey wasn’t that surprising. More surprising was a 1982 poll organized by the TV show Flash which asked its spectators to choose a individual from the past who would represent their ‘ideal man’. The result was again Amedeo Nazzari, who surpassed international stars such as Tyrone Power, media icons such John F. Kennedy, and popular histor- ical heroes like Garibaldi. In 1982, three years after his death, Nazzari still embodied a summa of the highest values of Italian masculinity in the collective imaginary. The longevity of Nazzari’s stardom in Italian cinema serves as a site to explore the link between stardom, gender, politics and industry during the transition from the Fascist era to the postwar period, focusing on the cultural signification of his star persona and his work in one of the most popular genres of postwar Italy, the melodrama.

Director and cinephile Peter Bogdanovich (who almost made an early version of Lonesome Dove during the era of the revisionist Western) writes that “There are no ‘old’ movies—only movies you have already seen and ones you haven't.” With all that in mind, our Fall 2012 selections presented at 4070 Vilas Hall, the Chazen Museum of Art, and the Marquee Theater at Union South offer a moveable feast of outstanding international movies from the silent era to the present, some you may have seen and some you probably haven’t. Retrospective series include five classic “Anti-Westerns” from the late 1960s and early 70s; the complete features of Russian master Aleksei Guerman; action epics and contemplative dramas from Japanese filmmaker Kenji Misumi; a breathtaking survey of Italian Masterworks from the neorealist era to the early 1970s; Depression Era comedies and dramas with scripts by the renowned Preston Sturges; and three silent comedy classics directed by and starring Charles Chaplin. Other Special Presentations include a screening of Yasujiro Ozu’s Dragnet Girl with live piano accompaniment and an in-person visit from veteran film and television director Tim Hunter, who will present one of his favorite films, Tsui Hark’s Shanghai Blues and a screening of his own acclaimed youth film, River’s Edge.

FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 56 Days That Will Rock Your Cinema World!
10 JAN 20 5 MAR 20 1 | 10 JAN 20 - 5 MAR 20 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECINEMA.COM FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 56 days that will rock your cinema world! Well, here we are again… it’s Awards season! I was reminded of such by a communication that came my way from AMPAS (the Oscar® people) listing nine categories’ shortlists of potential nominees. Now, they’ve been doing that shortlist thing with Foreign Language films for quite some time – there’s a lot of films out there in the world, it would be rather too much for the Academy members to have to watch them all! – but, to my knowledge, they’ve not before done it with any other category. It may be it’s for the same reason of sheer volume as above, but I guess what it also does is allows a greater number of films a reason to mention their Academy Award status in their advertising. I can see it now, “Academy Award Nomination shortlisted…” written on the poster. Where will it all end I wonder, “Academy Award Nomination eligible…”? As luck would have [nothing to do with] it, one of the films on the Foreign Language short list – which at this point in time seems the overwhelming favourite – is Bong Joon Ho’s utterly brilliant Parasite, which takes its place alongside a programme of films that is simplythe best line-up of new cinema I’ve seen in a long time. There’s not just the aforementioned South Korean masterpiece, there’s Sam Mendes’ extraordinary ‘one-take’ wonder 1917 (google ‘1917 behind the scenes featurette’ and prepare to simply have to see this film); Taika (‘Wilderpeople’) Waititi’s WWII, Nazi Germany-set, Jojo Rabbit; Armando Iannucci’s breathless Dickens, The Personal History of David Copperfield; Robert Egger’s uniquely bonkers, fog-bound The Lighthouse; Kidman, Robbie and Theron taking on the Fox News patriarchy in Bombshell; and to cap it all off, and possibly the best of the lot, Céline Sciamma’sexquisite Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

GSC Films: S-Z
GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

Chaplin's films operated through the miraculously s, 1960. universal character of the Tramp. Films like The Threepenny Opera (1931) owe their audience, and the mark they have left on an entire • e generation, in part to the particularly successful marriage of music and cinema. By contrast, nothing in I Vitelloni seemed capable of impressing itself on the viewer's memory: no famous actors; not even, as in La Strada (1954), a poetically original and picturesque character around which the film is built; no story, or almost none.

Synopsis Cast Credits Alexander Payne on I Knew Her Well
Alexander Payne presents a film by Antonio I Knew Pietrangeli starring Stefania Her Well Sandrelli Synopsis Following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana (Divorce Italian Style’s Stefania Sandrelli) as she chases her dreams in the Rome of La dolce vita, I Knew Her Well is at once a delightful immersion in the popular music and style of Italy in the sixties and a biting critique of its sexual politics and the culture of celebrity. Over a series of intimate episodes, just about every one featuring a different man, a new hairstyle, and an outfit to match, the unsung Italian master Antonio Pietrangeli, working from a script he cowrote with Ettore Scola, composes a deft, seriocomic character study that never strays from its complicated central figure.I Knew Her Well is a thrilling rediscovery, by turns funny, tragic, and altogether jaw-dropping. Janus Films is proud to present the U.S. theatrical premiere of a new 4K digital restoration undertaken by the Criterion Collection in partnership with the Cineteca di Bologna. Alexander Payne on I Knew Her Well My favorite national cinemas, other than American, are Japanese and Italian from the forties to the seventies—and particularly from the fifties and sixties. As one continues to dig, one finds in this period an inexhaustible supply of gems, and I Knew Her Well is nothing short of pay dirt. It stands with La dolce vita, Il sorpasso, and Michelangelo Antonioni’s trilogy as a brilliant—and brilliantly entertaining—document of Italy’s contradictions in the second decade after the war, and, like Antonioni, Pietrangeli put women at the center of his films.

Aldo Fabrizi, Attore, Sceneggiatore, Regista, Produttore, … Introduzione
Sebastiano A. Giuffrida Biblioteca dello spettacolo Brufo Editori - Perugia ROMA, ESTERNO GIORNO Aldo Fabrizi, attore, sceneggiatore, regista, produttore, … Introduzione Questa personale interpretazione della vita e della carriera del grande attore romano segue un andamento "geografico". I dodici capitoli in cui è diviso il lavoro rappresentano, infatti, altrettanti luoghi deputati della "vecchia Roma" in cui il Nostro visse e produsse. È una Roma del ricordo, a volte cialtrona, sempre mitica, assolutamente imprenscindibile dall'arte interpretativa di Fabrizi, che appartiene in toto a queste vie, piazze, palazzi e soprattutto a questi colori, sapori, atmosfere. Campo de' Fiori è il luogo della nascita, ma anche della sua vita sino a giovinezza avanzata. Ed è il luogo in cui ambienta i suoi primi film. Corso Cinema (un tempo in piazza in Lucina) è uno dei templi dell'avanspettacolo romano. Qui Fabrizi ottiene i suoi primi successi. A Piazza Venezia c'è il Caffè Castellino, dove Fabrizi passa le ore libere dagli impegni di lavoro. È un luogo di incontri ora casuali ora decisivi. In Via delle Botteghe Oscure, proprio nel palazzone che dopo la guerra sarà del PCI, c'è la sede dell'EIAR. Qui Fabrizi si fa conoscere fuori dall'ambiente romano e diventa un divo già prima di approdare al cinema. Non poteva mancare ovviamente Cinecittà. Qui si ripercorre la carriera cinematografica, ma non solo quella dell'attore Fabrizi, ma anche quella dello sceneggiatore, del produttore e del regista. Regina Coeli! Spesso, a causa del suo fisico, Fabrizi interpreta le parti dell'autorità costituita (poliziotto, finanziere, brigadiere, secondino, ecc.), ma sempre con un fondo di bontà.
