"Marcello Mastroianni: mi ricordo, sÃ¬, io mi ricordo"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Rarely one sees a biography documentary done with such warmth towards the subject.
Turns out, this warmth comes from the man himself... it is Marchello who sets the tone, paints the background and then lets others complete the picture, all the while talking quietly and with such grace and generocity, modesty and humble respect for the others, that the 3 and a half hours go by quickly.
This film is a wonderful, wonderful tribute to one of the most wonderful men to ever grace the screen. It covers a lot of territory, and gives one a rare opportunity to re-live the many films that we have come to love and remember.
Role after role... all so different, yet so united by his genius, with him doing his best not to concentrate on himself, his life, his work... instead talking, talking, talking about the others... the Great One - Fellini... De Sica... Sophia Loren... Scola... there are too many to mention here, and he doesn't spare good words for all of them... his human talent overshadowing his acting one.
He talks in simple language, yet his insight is crisp and memory fresh... hard to believe it was filmed shortly before his untimely departure.
An absolute must for everyone interested in good films.
Image quality? I don't know... I didn't quite notice... adequate... I suppose...
Do yourself a favor - rent it. Netflix has it.
