A Drama of Jealousy
Awards
Apparemment, Scola pourrait être rangé parmi les cinéastes qui ont donné à la comédie à l’italienne ses lettres de noblesse. Toutefois, l’art de Scola se situe un peu ailleurs dans le domaine d’un équilibre fragile entre ce qui relève de la satire de mœurs et ce qui appartient à des prises de position politiques qui ne font aucune concession aux idées toutes faites...

Ettore Scola

Ettore Scola was an Italian filmmaker and screenwriter known for his bold and distinctive style. He seamlessly blended sharp psychological analysis, biting satire of modern societies, irony, farce, disenchantment, melancholy, and innovative narrative techniques. His films often reflect on the individual's role within society and history, exploring both personal and collective memory in the face of time. Scola gained recognition with the tragicomedy A Drama of Jealousy (Dramma della gelosia - tutti i particolari in cronaca), for which Marcello Mastroianni won Best Actor at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival. In 1976, he won the Best Director Award at Cannes for Down and Dirty (Brutti, sporchi e cattivi), a scathing satire of Roman society that cemented his status as a master of Italian comedy. In a more intimate tone, his most celebrated film, A Special Day (Una giornata particolare), starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, was released the following year. Over his career, Scola directed nearly 40 films across four decades.
