The Italian Cinema in 1960
The EYE Film Instituut Nederland, every year, on the occasion of the Nice Festival, gives particular attention to the Italian cinema of the ’60s. Since 2009 program directors showed great interest in the Italian films of 50 years ago. This year EYE Film Instituut Nederland also goes back to the year 1960 when Italian cinema is in a very interesting transition period.
As a matter of fact the year 1960 sees masterpieces such as the family saga Rocco e i suoi fratelli by Luchino Visconti, La ragazza in vetrina by Luciano Emmer, a film almost forgotten co-written with Pier Paolo Pasolini and shot in Amsterdam in the De Wallen area. The same year Luigi Comencini made Tutti a casa and Vittorio Zurlini La ragazza con la valigia and Mario Monicelli with La grande guerra treated the subject of the First World War with his typical dark and sharp sense of humor.
