Marco Ferreri: Dangerous but Necessary
Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2018
May 31 - June 6, 2018
This complex, multilayered portrait of the Italian filmmaker features interviews with the likes of Isabelle Huppert, Roberto Benigni, and Hanna Schygulla to give the underappreciated iconoclast his due.
Introduction and Q&A by director Anselma Dell’Olio
Marco Ferreri: Dangerous but Necessary is a complex, multilayered portrait that seeks to give an underappreciated iconoclast his due. Directed by journalist-critic (and former Ferreri collaborator) Anselma Dell’Olio, the film draws upon interviews with such performers as Isabelle Huppert, Roberto Benigni, Hanna Schygulla, and Ornella Muti, as well as cinematic luminaries like Philippe Sarde and Dante Ferretti, to make the case for Ferreri as a figure who belongs on the same historical wavelength as such artistic revolutionaries as Godard, Fassbinder, and Buñuel. This fast-paced documentary’s enthusiasm for its legendarily provocative subject is positively infectious.
One of Marco Ferreri’s earliest and most beloved films, The Ape Woman, will play after the documentary, starting at 8:45pm. Get tickets.
