For over half a century, the brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani have been making some of the most beautifuI and timeless films in aIl ItaIian cinema, and this coIIection showcases some of their greatest achievements. Padre Padrone catapulted them to internationaI fame when it won both the Palme d Or and the lnternationaI Critics Prize at the Cannes FiIm FestivaI. Set in ruraI Sardinia, it teIls the true story of Gavino Ledda, who rose from shepherd boy to distinguished academic against alI possibIe 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 battIeground) through the eyes of an imaginative and mischievous six-year-oId girI. And in Kaos, they adapted severaI PirandeIlo short stories into a magnificent three-hour panorama of nineteenth-century SiciIian Iife in aII its comedy, tragedy, horror and unforgettabIe visual spIendour. |
