Luchino Visconti

Sep 06, 1999
A chronological look at the creative life of Luchino Visconti (1906-1976). It examines his theatricality, role in the neorealist movement, use of melodrama, and relation to decadence. It touches on the impact of a fabulously wealthy childhood, his writing for "Cinema," his politics, his work with Renoir, his appreciation of Thomas Mann, and his deep knowledge of literature and the arts. Visconti moves constantly between film and the theater, staging plays provocatively, working with Maria Callas at La Scala, and shooting films in theaters. Clips from his films and interviews with actors, crew members, and critics provide details for this portrait of creativity.

Cinecittà, de Mussolini à la Dolce Vita
7.3
Mythique cité du cinéma italien, souvent appelée « La fabbrica dei sogni « (la fabrique des rêves), Cinecittà se situe dans un quartier populaire du sud-est de Rome. Westerns, films antiques, séries télévisées, grosses productions américaines, classiques italiens : les studios ont vu défiler des milliers de films. L'idée de sa naissance émerge en 1930 : le gouvernement italien fasciste sous le joug de Mussolini souhaite industrialiser le cinéma italien afin de concurrencer le succès et le quasi-monopole d'Hollywood. Mais les studios de Cinecittà représentent surtout une importante machine de propagande fasciste.
