To mark the inauguration of the NOI CREDEVAMO (WE BELIEVED: The Risorgimento according to Martone) great exhibition – which will be held at the National Cinema Museum until 15th May – a screening of Mario Martone’s acclaimed film with the film director himself in attendance
To mark the inauguration of the NOI CREDEVAMO (WE BELIEVED: The Risorgimento according to Martone) great exhibition – which will be held at the National Cinema Museum from 10th March to 15th May – Mario Martone’s highly acclaimed film will be screened on Thursday, 10 March 2011 at 9 p.m., at Cinema Massimo’s Screen Two. The film recounts the complex and often dramatic events that occurred during the Italian Risorgimento. The film director himself will present the film. Admission: 5.00 euros.
The film is the subject of the great exhibition held at the Mole Antonelliana and organised by Alberto Barbera, which tells the tale of this film using photographs, a film that has already become a cause celebre following its positive reception by critics at the Venice Film Festival and its even greater success with cinema audiences. A reinterpretation of a fascinating work that combines the complexity of historical assessment with a narrative of rare expressive power and an exemplary direction of the film’s actors. The 190 images displayed in the exhibition, featuring set stills and frames, are accompanied by a catalogue that addresses many interesting issues.
