UNA SERATA ROMANA CON BALTHUS. by ZURLINI Valerio - 1975.: Con un’acquaforte di Renato Guttuso.

Fidenza: Mattioli Edizioni, 2022. Fidenza, 2022; br., pp. 232, cm 12x24. (Frontiere). Quante "immagini perdute" sono racchiuse fra le pagine autobiografiche del più letterario dei registi italiani, "protagonista discreto" della cultura italiana. Il cinema nella seconda metà del Novecento, e i sogni mai realizzati di un grande autore. L'autobiografia di un grande regista, tra immagini del presente e continui flash-back a ripescare nei ricordi: ne emerge, insieme al rimpianto per le occasioni mancate e le inquadrature solo sognate, una galleria di ritratti indimenticabili, con Morandi, Guttuso, Visconti e tanti altri, raccontati a svelare prospettive inedite, primi piani di vita privata. Di capitolo in capitolo, ricostruite con una scrittura asciutta e pulita, si rincorrono le immagini di una vita, a fissare volti, luoghi, emozioni.

Spain: Ellis Films, 1962. Vintage black-and-white reference still photograph from the Spanish release, circa 1962, of the 1961 Italian-French film. Owner name rubber-stamped on the verso, in Spanish. Pictured is Claudia Cardinale, Renato Baldini, and Angela Portaluri (former "Miss World" competitor). Valerio Zurlini's second feature film, and his second credit as director, after several short documentaries released in Italy, and his feature directorial debut, "Violent Summer" (1959). Alda (Cardinale) is a discarded girlfriend who takes to the road with her suitcase. A slick hunk picks her up and take her to his home, where she meets his younger brother, Lorenzo (Perrin). The two share an unspoken but clearly evident mutual appreciation of one another, Lorenzo's esteem perhaps more romantic than Alda's flighty acknowledgment of his emotional maturity. Set in Parma, Italy, shot on location there and in Riccioni and Rome, Italy. 7 x 9.5 inches. Very Good plus, with pinholes and faint creases at… Read More

N.p.: Plaza Pictures, 1968. Vintage one sheet poster for the US release of the 1968 Italian film. Woody Strode began his career as an American decathlete and football star, and went on to become a film actor, working in American and international films. Both a modern, Marxist re-imagining of the Christ story, and a poetic and allegorical depiction of Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba, the film was to debut at the Cannes Film Festival, but did not screen due to the festival being canceled in support of the May 1968 Paris uprising. 26.75 x 38 inches. Folded as issued. Very Good plus, with closed tears to top corners, two chips to bottom corners and pinholes.
