This retrospective, organised by The Italian Cultural Institute in London and the Institut français, brings together a handful of the actor’s finest performances, including La dolce vita, La notte, La Grande bouffe and several in films rarely seen outside Italy: Il bell’Antonio (1960), Una giornata particolare (1977). It also includes the actor’s first English-language role, in John Boorman’s Leo the Last (1970), City of Women (1980), and his late performance in Sostiene Pereira, the 1996 adaptation of Antonio Tabucchi’s novel, released just a year before the actor’s death. The Season is organised in collaboration with The Italian Cultural Institute in London and Cinécittà Holdings.
