Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ] Boccaccio 70 er et sandt sværvægtsmøde mellem legenderne Vittorio De Sica “Cykeltyven”, “Huntigeren” m.fl.), Federico Fellini (“Fellinis Casanova”, “Amarcord”, “Det søde liv” m.fl.), Luchino Visconti (“De lange knives nat”, “Døden i Venedig” m.fl.) og Mario Monicelli (“En moderne Casanova”, “I Compagni” m.fl.), sekunderet af de tre mest sexede kvinder, som 60'erne havde at byde på - Sophia Loren, Anita Ekberg og Romy Schneider. Filmen bygger på fire erotiske fortællinger af 1300-talsforfatteren Giovanni Boccaccio (“Decameron”), der i mestrenes fortolkning flyttes frem til de glade 60'ere. “Boccaccio 70” er et sandt festfyrværkeri af satire, drama, humor og sex - naturligvis instrueret med en sjældent set flair for det visuelle. En sand nydelse af en filmperle, der endelig er tilgængelig på dansk DVD. Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ] Four complete segments, each directed by a master filmmaker and starring an extraordinary cast of international stars: Renzo & Luciana, directed by Mario Monicelli (BIG DEAL ON MADONNA STREET) was cut to shorten the film for its international release and it's shown here for the first time ever in America. The Temptation of Doctor Antonio directed by Federico Fellini (LA DOLCE VITA, 8 1/2) and starring Anita Ekberg (LA DOLCE VITA), enlighten by a dreamy humoristic touch, it's considered by many to be the best Fellini's work ever! The Job, directed by Luchino Visconti (THE LOEPARD, ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS) stars Romy Schneider (WHAT'S NEW, PUSSYCAT) and future genre icon Tomas Milian (TRAFFIC, ALMOST HUMAN). A witty contemplation of marriage with an attention to details was the trademark of the Visconti's incomparable style. Finally, The Raffle, an earthy comic romp directed by Vittorio De Sica (THE BICYCLE THIEF, TWO WOMEN) and starring Sophia Loren (YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW, TWO WOMEN) as a woman who causes all sorts of problems for herself when she offers her favors as the prize in a lottery. BOCCACCIO 70 is presented in a widescreen anamorphic digital transfer, loaded with never seen before extras, including a rare behind-the-scene archival footage |
