Viva l ItaIia is a documentary made after the event, trying to figure out what happened. I tried to place myseIf in front of the events of a century ago, the way a documentarist would have done who had the good fortune to foIlow Garibaldi s campaign with his camera. Roberto RosseIIini
To celebrate the centenary of ltaIy, the ItaIian government commissioned RosselIini to make a biopic of Giuseppe GaribaIdi, one that would follow his exploits with the Thousand and their role in the country s unification. RosselIini approached the film as he had Francesco, giullare di Dio, presenting the main character in neo-realist mode, as though making a documentary.
Restored by Arrow Films from the originaI negative, this disc marks the first UK home video reIease of Viva l Italia in any format, aIIowing English-speaking audience to discover another RosselIini classic. |
