Description
Imported Print!(Caro Michele)
In an adaptation of a novel by Natalia Ginzburg, Monicelli subjects a bourgeois family, tradition bound and so in advanced stages of decay, to the anarchic energy of a child of the sixties. The free-spirited Mara has been impregnated by the family’s only son, and gives birth while he’s off getting killed in a political demonstration. Will the family’s only heir be a little bourgeois or a zany individualist like his mother? “Monicelli’s direction manages just the right balance of implied social criticism and an almost affectionate understanding for the victims of changing times” (Variety).
• Written by Suso Cecchi D’Amico, Tonino Guerra, based on the novel by Natalia Ginzburg. Photographed by Tonino Delli Colli. With Mariangela Melato, Delphine Seyrig, Aurore Clement, Lou Castel.
