Oscar-winning Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni is one of the enduring icons of the big screen. We are delighted to present four classic films in collaboration with the Glasgow Film Theatre and Cinecittà to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the great Italian actor’s birth. The season runs from 7 July to 28 July 2024, on the occasion of Fare Cinema 2024, and with thanks to Cristaldifilm, Compass Film and Janus Films.
Il Bell’Antonio
In the lush city of Catania, Sicily, Antonio (Marcello Mastroianni) is regarded as the ultimate lover of women, a title he holds dear. Yet not long after marrying the beautiful Barbara (Claudia Cardinale), Antonio’s new obligations begin to weigh on him, and soon he is faltering in the bedroom. In short order, his impotence is the talk of the town, and Antonio is a laughing stock. As he tries to repair the damage to his marriage, Barbara considers her options for leaving.
Director: Mauro Bolognini; Producer: Alfredo Bini; Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Pierre Brasseur.
Italian with English subtitles.
