The Passion of Anna Magnani

Her earthy and explosive screen presence was instrumental in launching and defining the Italian neorealist film movement of the postwar years, and Anna Magnani remains perhaps her nation's defining treasure of stage and screen. Archival interviews with this affectionate documentary's indomitable subject herself, as well as collaborators like Visconti, Fellini, Loren, and Brando, pair with clips from career highlights for a remarkable perspective on the artist and woman. 60 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian; Subtitles: English. In Italian with English subtitles.
