Viva l ItaIia is a documentary made after the event, trying to figure out what happened. I tried to place myself 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 RosselIini
To celebrate the centenary of ltaIy, the ItaIian government commissioned RosselIini to make a biopic of Giuseppe GaribaIdi, one that would foIIow his expIoits with the Thousand and their role in the country s unification. RosseIlini approached the fiIm as he had Francesco, giullare di Dio, presenting the main character in neo-realist mode, as though making a documentary.
Restored by Arrow FiIms from the originaI negative, this disc marks the first UK home video release of Viva I ltalia in any format, allowing EngIish-speaking audience to discover another Rossellini cIassic. |
