"A towering performance of Pirandello's masterpiece" plus a superb Astor Piazzolla score,
By Song & story lover (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henry IV [VHS] (VHS Tape)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Based upon the play HENRY VI by Luigi Pirandello Screenplay by Marco Bellocchio of Tonino Guerra Music by Astor Piazzolla Directed by Marco Bellocchio The work of Luigi Pirandello -- Italy's greatest modern playwright -- has never before been so successfully brought to the screen. Thrown from a horse, a modern aristocrat proclaims he is the 11th century king of the Holy Roman Empire. For twenty years he lives out this delusion in a medieval castle until his former love (Claudia Cardinale) visits with a psychiatrist and an elaborate plan to shock the madman back to reality. But is he really insane? And, who is to say what is real and what is not? The finest talents of Italian cinema collaborated to create a contemporary interpretation of Pirandello's probing masterpiece of classical tragedy and ironic comedy. Marcello Mastroianni gives a subtle yet commanding portrayal of wily madness that stands alongside his landmark performances in such films as LA DOLCE VITA, 8 1/2, and DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE. Color/95 minutes/Italy 1984 |
