TRIBUTE TO SOPHIA LOREN

MATRIMONIO ALL'ITALIANA Vittorio DE SICA 1964 - 01:42

Vittorio De Sica’s Marriage Italian Style, based on the play by Neapolitan author Eduardo De Filippo, “Filumena Marturano”, features Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni in an emblematic portrait of Italian society.
“Vittorio De Sica has understood where the key to a powerful comedy effect relies: not in psychology or in the plot intrigue, but in the archaic substratum of Neapolitan culture, of which Filumena is the monumental, severe and terrifying incarnation. Sophia Loren hasn’t just played Filumena, but has been able to “live” the role, embracing her particular way of life, full of both pagan and Italic characteristics.”
