...Rosi. About three weeks ago I had not heard of him even though he started directing films back in the 1950's. But if I had discovered Rosi's films about two years ago, I would not have fully grasped their significance. And now I can truly add Rosi's film Le Mani sulla città ( Hands on the City ) on my list of all time favourite movies ...

...Rosi's international breakthrough was this biopic of famed Sicilian bandit-gangster Salvatore Giuliano, in which he's barely seen on screen other than as a corpse. In the soon to be popularised political semidocumentary style and with customary visual flair, Rosi builds a near-abstract portrait of Giuliano through the environment and...

Another look at Southern Italy

2008-04-19 23:42:00 by Sachin G. in Scribbles and Ramblings
 
...Rosi's wonderful film Le Mani sulla città ( Hands on the City ) late last year. The film presented plenty of food for thought and encouraged me to find other films by Rosi. A mini spotlight on him showed that he was not afraid to tackle the political side of Italian life while giving voice to Southern Italy, something left out from a...

...Rosi After working with Rosi that first of many times, De Santis' career took off and he quickly became one of the most in demand DPs in Italy. His big international break came when he was hired on by Franco Zeffirelli for his legendary 1968 film of ROMEO AND JULIET. De Santis became known for his inventive lighting techniques and the...

...Rosière de Pessac (and indirectly, Numéro Zéro ). On his decision to remake La Rosière de Pessac , Eustache argues that the annual celebration could have easily been remade many times over, noting that the local mayor revived the village festival in 1896, loosely coinciding with the creation of the earliest Lumière films. In this sense,...

...Rosière de Pessac , Eustache captures, not only an overlooked, rapidly disappearing way of life, but also the continuity of a collective history itself, a passing between generations that is implied in the film's silent preface showing Boris accompanying Odette to a corner shop, before briefly walking away on another errand (similarly, in La...

...Rosi, 1967) - C-103 mins. - Strange to see that Francesco Rosi followed up Salvatore Giuliano , Hands Over the City , and The Moment of Truth with this romantic comedy-fantasy. Omar Sharif is a prince and Sophia Loren is the peasant girl he falls in love with. Dolores del Rio appears as the queen mother. The English title is More Than a...

...Rosi) Two of Rosi's other semi-documentary features, Salvatore Giuliano and Hands Across the City , made it to DVD a couple of years ago - and deservedly so - but this one is languishing somewhere in a vault. Given the state of post-war Italian politics and business - Rosi's film sounds like a reflection on the 1970s as much as on Mattei's...
