An icon of Italian cinema, Claudia Cardinale was not strictly Italian, having grown up in Tunis in a family that spoke French and Sicilian. This composite identity undoubtedly allowed her to navigate effortlessly from one cinematography to another. This program attests to this, bringing together some of her most memorable roles in Italy, forays into popular French cinema, and a memorable appearance in a Herzog film. These examples highlight her radiant screen presence and her wide acting range, from whimsical to serious roles.
