BELLISSIMA

Italy | 1951 | DCP | 115 mins. | Italian with English subtitles
Director: Luchino Visconti
Cast: Anna Magnani, Tina Apicella, Walter Chiari
Screen legend Magnani gives a powerhouse comedic turn as a mother who crashes Cinecittà studios, hell-bent on turning her sweet, but ordinary seven-year-old girl into a child star. One of the few comedies from cinematic maestro Visconti, Bellissima takes a sardonic attitude towards the Italian film industry and the many fans who are caught up in the illusions of the dream factory. A new 4K restoration will be screened!
