2021 - 20161900
Bernardo Bertolucci
Роберт Де Ниро, Gérard Depardieu
Прекрасным летним утром 1900 года в итальянской провинции Эмилия появляются на свет два мальчика. Олмо — еще один рот в многодетной семье бедного крестьянина. Альфредо — отпрыск богатых помещиков. Несмотря на столь различное социальное положение, мальчики не только подружатся, но пронесут дружбу через всю свою жизнь. Они — дети страшных лет Европы, чье отрочество придется на годы Первой мировой войны, а зрелость вступит в свои права под грохот гитлеровских орудий. Да и в промежутке событий будет предостаточно. Фашистская Италия — страна неспокойная. Меняется вековой уклад общества, народ все больше узнает от социалистов о своих правах, Муссолини использует смуту для захвата власти. Ветер перемен врывается и в провинцию Эмилия. Обостряются отношения крестьян и землевладельцев, но Олмо и Альфредо остаются друзьями. Сплетение судеб — близких и бесконечно далеких, сплетение жизни личности и жизни страны.

The Mattei Affair
Francesco Rosi
Gian Maria Volonté, Luigi Squarzina
Enrico Mattei helped change Italy’s future, first as freedom-fighter against the Nazis, then as an investor in methane gas through a public company, A.G.I.P., and ultimately as the head of ENI, a state body formed for the development of oil resources. On October 27, 1962, he died when his private airplane crashed during a flight to Milan. Officially, it is declared an accident, but many journalists explore other plausible reasons for Mattei's untimely death.

Tre donne - La sciantosa
Alfredo Giannetti
Anna Magnani, Massimo Ranieri
La Sciantosa is part of a project created by writer/director Alfredo Gianetti for the Italian TV. The objective was to portrait a hundred years of Italian history through three movies, all of them with Anna Magnani. The other two are "1943: un incontro" and "L'autmobile". In this first movie, La Magnani is Flora Torres, a "sciantosa" (kind of a small stage diva) who is forgotten during the WWI, living only to remember her past glory. One day she receives a letter to present herself to the high command. There, Flora is called to go to the front and entertain the troops. Along with her maid Cristina, Flora goes to the front. There they are welcomed by the young private Tonino (Massimo Ranieri). Flora starts to act like a prima donna, making absurd demands to everyone. But when she is about to present herself, the vision of the wounded soldiers makes her change her way
