Films cycle “Vittorio De Sica”

vittoriodesica

From the 1940s to 1970s, Vittorio De Sica secured his place in the pantheon of Italian filmmakers. s one of the pioneers of neorealism, he created some of the movement’s most emblematic works. Yet, he also managed to break away from it, embracing new genres in the following decades, adapting the great authors of his time, riding on the popularity of sketch film, excelling in both comedy and drama, and offering his actors some of their finest roles, led by Sophia Loren. A master of on-screen emotion, De Sica always portrayed Italian society with both clarity and deep humanity. In addition to his career as a filmmaker, he was also a prolific actor, a facet of his work showcased in two standout performances in this retrospective.
