Pasqualino

Dec 20, 1975
Film nommé quatre fois aux Oscars. Son personnage principal, Pasqualino, Giancarlo Giannini (Prix d’interprétation masculine et nommé à l’Oscar du meilleur acteur), est totalement détestable. Prêt à toutes les bassesses et compromissions pour survivre, Pasqualino est un « petit tyran domestique se révélant infâme couillon face à plus fort que lui. » Les nombreux flashbacks dressent un portrait affreux de ce macho, qui, après avoir séduit la commandante, au demeurant repoussante, du camp nazi, devient kapo. De retour à Naples, Pasqualino épouse une jeune prostituée et continue de vivre aux crochets des femmes. La réalisatrice ne s’éloigne pas de ses préoccupations politiques et féministes. (présentation pour le Festival Lumière 2019).
