"Boccaccio '70"
1962
Directed by Federico Fellini / Vittorio De Sica
/ Luchino Visconti / Mario Monicelli
Boasting an
unbelievable confluence of talent on both sides of the camera, this omnibus
collection features contributions by some of the biggest names in Italian
cinema. Each of the directors attempts to tell a story that Boccaccio might
write if he was alive in the modern era. The Temptation of Doctor Antonio
(Federico Fellini) stars Anita Ekberg in the dreamy, humorous tale of a
billboard starlet who springs to life in front of an amorous professor. The
Job (Luchino Visconti) stars Romy Schneider as a young office worker in love
with her boss (Tomas Milian) in a witty tale about marriage and infidelity.
The Raffle (Vittorio De Sica) stars Sophia Loren as a woman who opens up a
can of worms when she offers herself up as first prize in a shooting
gallery. Finally, Renzo & Luciana (Mario Monicelli), is included for the
first time after having been cut for the original release. English and
Italian with English subtitles.
208 minutes.
