  • The Age of Innocence Showcase Tribute to Claudia Cardinale
    PRESS RELEASE The age of innocence showcase Tribute to Claudia Cardinale From Monday 5 to Monday 26 March 2018, 3.30 p.m. “Mario Gromo” Library/Mediatheque – Events Room - Via Matilde Serao 8/A, Turin tel. +39 011 8138 599 - email: [email protected] Following the success of the showcases offered by the Mario Gromo Library/Mediatheque over the past months, in March it is the turn of a tribute to one of the most representative and beloved Italian actresses: Claudia Cardinale. Focusing on the time span between 1959 and 1961, during which the actress shot a good 15 films, The age of innocence. Tribute to Claudia Cardinale is proposing a significant selection of titles which illustrate this thespian’s maturity well and her sensitive capability for offering intensely dramatic introspective characters. Fragility and determination, naiveté and innocence, awareness and disenchantment are the emotional and- personality traits that young Cardinale – provided with charm, allure and a natural, luminous beauty – expresses in this first phase of her long and fortunate career. Extraordinarily photogenic, the actress imposed herself at the beginning of the Sixties as a new female diva model in Italian cinema, working with some of the most important authors of that period, who found a degree of expressiveness that was both sunny and enigmatic in her person, capable of expressing the establishment of a new, signally modern type of woman. The showcase will be inaugurated by the screening of Vento del sud, the only film by Enzo Provenzale (a trusted collaborator of Francesco Rosi), in which Cardinale plays the role of an aristocratic and unhappy Sicilian scion.

  • Mauro Bolognini
    Biblioteca Civica “U. Pozzoli” di Lecco Ogni fine settimana uno scrittore, un regista, un attore, un poeta La proposta di questa settimana è Biblioteca civica “U. Pozzoli” di Lecco Incontro con MAURO BOLOGNINI NOTIZIE BIOGRAFICHE Studia architettura e consegue la laurea a Firenze, prima di passare al Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia di Roma, dove frequenta i corsi di scenografia. Diplomatosi, si orienta verso la regia e affina il mestiere facendo l'aiuto di Luigi Zampa e poi, in Francia, di Yves Allégret e Jean Delannoy. Inizia l'attività registica segnalandosi tra il 1955 e il 1958 con bozzetti di un tardo neorealismo. L'incontro con Pasolini sceneggiatore gli apre la strada a maggiori ambizioni con film come ‘La notte brava’ (1959), ‘Il bell'Antonio’ (1960), ‘La giornata balorda’ (1960), anche se l'impegno letterario si stempera poi spesso in gusto calligrafico con ‘Senilità’ (1962), ‘Agostino’ (1962), ‘Bubù’ (1971), ‘Per le antiche scale’ (1975), ‘L'eredità Ferramonti’(1976). All'atmosfera in costume e al clima pittorico toscano del suo film ‘La viaccia’ (1961) che è forse il suo capolavoro, si riallaccia nel 1970 con ‘Metello’, dove la struttura storico-sociale del romanzo di Pratolini gli consente un'evocazione equilibrata e solida. Tra gli altri suoi film si ricordano: ‘Imputazione di omicidio per uno studente’ (1972), ‘Libera, amore mio!’ (1973), pellicola subito ritirata per problemi politici, ‘Fatti di gente perbene’ (1974), ‘La storia vera della signora dalle camelie’ (1981), ‘La venexiana’ (1986), ‘Mosca addio’ (1987) e ‘La villa del venerdì’(1991). Fin dai primi anni settanta Bolognini si è dedicato anche a varie regie liriche, fra le quali Norma di Bellini al Teatro alla Scala di Milano (1972), per la stessa opera al Teatro Bolshoi di Mosca, La fanciulla del West di Puccini all'Opera di Roma, Aida al Teatro La Fenice di Venezia (1978), o Pollicino di Hans Werner Henze (1995) al Teatro Poliziano di Montepulciano.

  • La Corruption Mauro Bolognini
    Cycle « Corruption » 4/4 La Corruption Mauro Bolognini - Italie/france - 1963 Fiche technique La Corruzione Scénario : Ugo Liberatore et Fulvio Gicca Palli d'après le roman d'Ugo Liberatore Directeur de la photographie : Leonida Barboni Musique : Giovanni Fusco Décors : Maurizio Chiari Distribution : Alain Cuny (Leonardo), Jacques Perrin (Stefano), Rosanna Schiaffino (Adriana), Isa Miranda (femme de Leonardo), Fillipo Scelzo (Morandi) Producteur : Arco Film, Burgundia Film, S.O.P.A.C. Durée : 80 min Sortie Italie: 05/13/1963 - France : 16/03/1966 Critique et Commentaires La Corruption c'est le peu de scrupule des hommes d'affaires. C'est l'éditeur en vogue vu et jugé par son fils qui sort tout frais tout neuf de son collège, bien décidé à échapper à son milieu en se faisant moine. En un mot, le thème dramatique de cette histoire repose sur l'antagonisme père-fils, compromission-pureté, laideur-beauté. Le film emprunte au théâtre de longues discussions laborieuses au cours desquels papa défend son point de vue et gifle fiston qui décidément ne comprend rien aux joies de l'existence et aux nécessité du commerce. La construction un peu rigide,conséquente aux dialogues explicatifs, enlise le récit dans un festival de champs – contre-champs – gros plans – éclairages savamment élaborés qui dotent le film d'une allure de dramatique télévisée réussie. Une seule séquence illumine l'œuvre : la rencontre de la maîtresse du père avec le fils et ses conséquences. Du coup un sang nouveau jaillit ; les vrais pulsions et l'évidence charnelle viennent jeter le discrédit sur les « verbosités » quelque peu factice et les heurts caractériels du début.

    http://www.gendersexualityitaly.com g/s/i is an annual peer-reviewed journal which publishes research on gendered identities and the ways they intersect with and produce Italian politics, culture, and society by way of a variety of cultural productions, discourses, and practices spanning historical, social, and geopolitical boundaries. Title: Censoring The ‘Curious’ Minchia in Vitaliano Brancati’s Il Bell’Antonio: Intercultural Encounters and the Politics of Grammatical Gender Journal Issue: gender/sexuality/italy, 3 (2016) Author: Marisa Escolar Publication date: December 2016 Publication info: gender/sexuality/italy, “Themed Section” Permalink: http://www.gendersexualityitaly.com/5-censoring-the-curious-minchia-in-vitaliano-brancatis-il- bellantonio-intercultural-encounters-and-the-politics-of-grammatical-gender/ Author Bio: Marisa Escolar (Ph.D. UC Berkeley) is Assistant Professor of Italian in the Department of Romance Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill where she teaches on censorship, translation studies, fascism, World War II and Anglo-Italian intercultural encounters. Her current book project is about literary and historical representations of Allied-occupied Italy. Abstract: Vitaliano Brancati’s Il bell’Antonio (1949), a novel of erectile and social disfunction in fascist Catania, has been translated three times into English, the most translated postwar Italian novel. Arguing that proliferation of Bell’Antonio’s in translation actually reinforces an Anglo-American perception of the Italian “inetto” (bungler), this article looks at the intercultural encounter produced in translation alongside an intercultural encounter in one of the novel’s many epigraphs, where “curious” phenomenon emerges in a conversation between a Sicilian and an Italian: in Sicilian dialect, the grammatical gender of the nouns for the biological sex organs contradict their meanings insofar as the male sex organ, la minchia, is gendered female and the female sex organ, il pacchio or lo sticchio, is gendered male.

  • Pasolini's Mamma Roma
    Cinematic Transformations of Poetic Language: Pasolini’s Mamma Roma Teresa Tufano Monash University Pasolini’s films, especially his early films and writings, are marked by a distinct focus on style and ideology expressed through the use of dialect. In the 1965 essay ‘The cinema of poetry’, “Il cinema di poesia” Pasolini endeavours to provide a theoretical framework for the expressive aesthetic intuition demonstrated by filmmakers, including Pasolini himself. Pasolini discusses the formal character of shot composition and construction in films of the time and labels such stylistic filmmaking ‘poetic’. Utilising the constructs of ‘im-signs’ and ‘free indirect subjectivity’ as derived by Pasolini in his essay, this paper provides a discussion of Pasolini’s own ‘poetic cinema’ as foreshadowed in his second directorial feature Mamma Roma, made in 1962. Keywords: Pasolini, cinema, language, aesthetics, ideology, Renaissance, representation Pier Paolo Pasolini was a writer, poet, theorist, journalist (for magazines and newspapers including the prominent Italian daily Il corriera della sera), scriptwriter, philosopher, public intellectual, painter, actor, filmmaker and arguably one of the most polemic public figures of his time.1 Pasolini was already an established poet and writer before venturing into filmmaking, and embraced cinema as more than just a different literary technique. Cinema for Pasolini was a new expressive medium, a unique language, a trans-national language that allowed him to abandon the formal Italian language imposed upon Italy under fascist rule. Pasolini was renowned for his investigations into the lives of the sottoproletariato “sub- proletariat” class consisting of thieves, pimps, prostitutes, thugs, the impoverished and other such outcasts living at the lowest margins of society.

The film has always been considered as an eccentric parenthesis in Pasolini’s work, and the ‘ideo-comic fable’ as a bizarre, short lived, experiment. In fact Uccellacci e uccellini is the only film of its kind, but a detailed analysis of each element of Pasolini’s neologism will show how rooted into Pasolini’s artistic practice they all are: if political ideology has always been at the heart of Pasolini’s work, the film shows a new direction, in which the director’s Marxism crosses Christianity; it will be shown how Pasolini has always been surprisingly familiar with the comic genre, and finally a record will be traced of Pasolini’s competence and use of fables. Such a comprehensive examination will unearth many of Pasolini’s sources and its dialogue with other artists and intellectuals; finally, it aims at contributing a new approach to the critical analysis of the film, and at opening original insights into some other famous or less known works by the author. Key Words: Ideology, Comedy, Fable, Communism, Marxism, Catholic religion, Christianity, Capitalism, Crisis. ***** The mid Sixties in Italy were a period of dramatic changes at all levels: the bubble of the economic boom had burst, the leader of the Italian Communist Party died, and the Catholic Church was radically reforming itself showing signs of enlightenment and openness without precedents.
