11 - 24 Apr
A Tribute to Marcello Mastroianni Marcello Mastroianni remains unsurpassed as one of the most universally loved of all movie stars. In his long and prolific career, he almost singlehandedly defined the contemporary Latin Lover, then proceeded to redefine it a dozen times, and finally parodied it and played it against type. At the height of his fame in the 1960s, he was the exemplar of the modern man facing the existential void - the jaded, world-weary journalist in Fellini's La dolce vita , or the doubt-ridden protagonist of Antonioni's La notte . Yet he was equally skilled at comedy, in films like La Grande bouffe and in his own country, he is perhaps best remembered for his pairings with Sophia Loren. This retrospective brings together a handful of the actor's finest performances, rare screenings of little-seen classics Il bell' Antonio and Una giornata particolare.
