For the IF WE MAY, WE’LL TALK OF… PIETRANGELI, SCOLA (AND THE OTHERS) cycle, screening of Il magnifico cornuto by Antonio Pietrangeli.

The IF WE MAY, WE’LL TALK OF… PIETRANGELI, SCOLA (AND THE OTHERS) retrospective has been envisaged – a few months after Ettore Scola’s demise – as a transversal tribute for the author of some of the most important films in our cinematography. We said transversally, because we wished to propose a selection of titles that would show Scola’s work as screenwriter.

His collaboration with Antonio Pietrangeli – one of the best and perhaps most underestimated film directors of his generation – gave rise to a depiction of Italy which, far from having the vibrant and roaring scale typical of the economic boom, showed a dejected provincial dimension and recognised that empty pretentiousness within modernity led to existential solitude.

This week, screening of Il magnifico cornuto (The magnificent cuckold) by Antonio Pietrangeli.
