Patrizia De Clara
20211900
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.

Pupi Avati
Ugo Tognazzi, Delia Boccardo

The baron, crippled and atheist, one day sees a girl lying on the fig tree in a benevolent attitude and exchanges for the holy venerated by her villagers. Immediately the aristocrat converts and decides to give his belongings to a religious institute. In fact, he was a victim of a cheating and the "santa" is a prostitute who has given up on rage.
The Baron's Mazurka
La prossima volta il fuoco
Fabio Carpi
Jean Rochefort, Marie-Christine Barrault
The study of semantics has convinced Amedio (Jean Rochefort) that things only have relative validity, and that everything is changeable. So it seems, because while on an Italian holiday with his family, he conceives the idea that his aging wife (Marie-Christine Barrault) should assume the role of his mother, and his daughter (Jacqueline Lustig), who has an infant son, should assume the role of his wife and lover. His real mother (Lila Kedrova), an elderly invalid, dies just as this conceit begins to take form, and, inexplicably, the women placidly go along with this odd notion for a time, but eventually return to their former roles.
