Sophia Loren: La Signora di Napoli
June 7 - 13, 2024
Loren sizzles in an Oscar-nominated performance with Mastroianni in which their chemistry propels a 22-year relationship that begins as a near-flawless boudoir comedy, only to develop into something disarmingly moving.
Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni cemented their status as one of the all-time-great screen couples in Vittorio De Sica’s classic battle-of-the-sexes farce. She’s Filumena, a rough-around-the-edges Neapolitan prostitute; he’s Domenico, a suave, bourgeois business owner. In flashback, their tempestuous 22-year relationship unfolds, right up to his impending marriage to another woman—but Filumena has other plans. Loren sizzles in an Oscar-nominated performance, while nobody plays the cad better than Mastroianni. Their chemistry propels a film that begins as a near-flawless boudoir comedy, only to develop into something disarmingly moving. 4K digital restoration by Cineteca di Bologna and Technicolor Foundation. DCP by Cinecittà.
