1870
La Magnani
May 18 - June 1, 2016
Magnani was cast alongside legendary leading man Marcello Mastroianni for the only time in this stirring historical drama. They play a husband and wife caught up in the political upheaval of the Risorgimento era. With a score by Ennio Morricone.
In her final starring role, Magnani was cast alongside legendary leading man Marcello Mastroianni for the only time. Set amid the upheaval of the Risorgimento era, this stirring historical drama stars Mastroianni as an Italian nationalist who is imprisoned for his opposition to the church, leaving his wife (Magnani) to join the rebel cause. Though originally made for television, there is nothing small-screen about 1870, which boasts impressive attention to period detail, an Ennio Morricone score, and, of course, mighty performances from two icons of Italian cinema. 35mm print from Istituto Luce Cinecittà.
