Marcello Mastroianni: I Remember
Italy, 1997, 35mm, color and b&w, 198 min.
Italian with English subtitles.
The prolific body of work Marcello Mastroianni amassed over a fifty-year period is ample justification for this large-scale filmic memoir of the actor. Like Martin Scorsese’s recent accounts of American and Italian cinema, Marcello Mastroianni: I Remember presents a personal account of a lifelong engagement with cinema. In this warmly conceived portrait, Mastroianni provides a lively series of anecdotes about his experiences with the great Italian directors including De Sica, Fellini, and Petri—whose film Todo modo he counts as one the lost masterpieces of Italian cinema. Employing a wealth of clips from his films and rare screen tests, director Anna Maria Tatò (Mastroianni’s companion for the last twenty-two years of his life) allows her subject to provide a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply philosophical analysis of his very rich life.
