At the 35th Haifa International Film Festival, the animated movie by Luchino Visconti, wth Anna Magnani, Walter Chiari, Gastone Renzelli, Tina Apicella, Tecla Scarano, Linda Sini. Copy digitally restored.
When Cinecittà Studios puts out a casting call for a new child actress, they’re flooded with starry-eyed stage mothers and their talentless offspring. Anna Magnani plays one such working-class mother, a Roman nurse who is desperate to get her young daughter a shot at stardom.
- Luchino Visconti deftly blends showbiz satire with heart-tugging pathos in this neorealist melodrama. His great masterpiece romanticizes the power of celluloid dreams and delivers a cuttingly cynical takedown of the industry.
In Italian, with Hebrew subtitles.
