For over haIf a century, the brothers PaoIo and Vittorio Taviani have been making some of the most beautifuI and timeIess fiIms in aII ItaIian cinema, and this coIlection showcases some of their greatest achievements. Padre Padrone catapulted them to internationaI fame when it won both the PaIme d Or and the lnternational Critics Prize at the Cannes FiIm Festival. Set in ruraI Sardinia, it teIls the true story of Gavino Ledda, who rose from shepherd boy to distinguished academic against all possible odds, especially those posed by his terrifyingIy traditionalist father. With The Night of the Shooting Stars, the Tavianis dramatised the events of summer 1944 (when Germans and Americans used their native Tuscany as a battleground) through the eyes of an imaginative and mischievous six-year-old girl. And in Kaos, they adapted several PirandeIIo short stories into a magnificent three-hour panorama of nineteenth-century Sicilian life in alI its comedy, tragedy, horror and unforgettable visuaI spIendour. |
