The Film

The 198-minute running time scared me. But this beautiful, loving documentary held my attention for its entire length. Mastroianni is fleshed out as a real human being, not the prototype “Latin Lover,” which annoyed him for so many years.

In addition to the six Fellini films he acted in:
  1. La Dolce Vita (1960)
  2. 8½ (1963)
  3. Roma (1972)
  4. City of Women (1980)
  5. Ginger and Fred (1986)
  6. Intervista (1987)
Tatò includes clips from many of the other 141 films he made (“many bad,” MM admits), or admired:
  1. FREELAND: Flying Down to Rio (1933)
  2. MONICELLI: Padri e Figli i Compagni (1957)
  3. GOLDFARB: Fellini — a Director’s Notebook (1969)
  4. MICHALKOV: Oci Ciornie (1987)
  5. BEMBERG: De Eso No Se Habla (1993)
  6. GERMI: Divorzio all’Italiana (1961)
  7. PETRI: Todo Modo Le Mani Sporche (1978-)
  8. MAGNI: Scipione Detto Anche l’Africano (1971)
  9. SCOLA: Una Giornata Particolare (1977)
  10. SCOLA: Dramma Della Gelosia (Tutti i Particolari in Cronaca) (1970)
  11. DE SICA: Amanti (1968)
  12. DE SICA: Ieri, Oggi, Domani (1963)
  13. DE SICA: Matrimonio all’Italiana (1964)
  14. SAKS: Cin Cin (1991)
  15. SCOLA: La Nuit de Varennes (1982)

OZU, Yasujiro (Japan) Late Spring [1949] Spine #331 DVD One of the most powerful of Yasujiro Ozu's family portraits, Late Spring (Banshun) tells the story of a widowed father who feels compelled to marry off his beloved only daughter. Eminent Ozu players Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara command this poignant tale of love and loss in postwar Japan, which remains as potent today as ever — almost alone justifying Ozu's inclusion in the pantheon of cinema's greatest directors. 108 minutes Black & White Monaural in Japanese 1:33:1 aspect ratio Criterion Release 2006 Director/Writers Based on the novel Chichi to musume (Father and Daughter) by Kazuo Hirotsu . Script by Kogo Noda and  Yasujiro Ozu . Ozu was 46 when he directed Late Spring .

THREE COLORS {Spine #587} KIEŚLOWSKI, Krzysztof (France) Three Colors: White [1994] Spine #589 Blu-ray The most plalyful and also the grittiest of Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colors films follows the adventures of Karol Karol, a Polish immigrant living in France. The hapless hairdresser opts to leave Paris for his native Warsaw when his wife sues him for divorce (her reason: their marriage was never consummated) and then frames him for arson after setting her own salon ablaze. White , which goes on to chronicle Karol Karol's elaborate revenge plot, manages to be both a ticklish dark comedy about the economic inequalities of Eastern and Western Europe and a sublime reverie on twisted love. 91 minutes Color 2.0 Surround in French and Polish 1:85:1 aspect ratio Criterion Release 2011 Director/Writers Screenplay by Krzysztof Piesiewicz and  Krzysztof Kieślowski .
