We All Loved Each Other So Much
With a stature as wide as his smile, a spectacular expressiveness, and a remarkable diction, Vittorio Gassman is one of the greatest actors cinema has ever seen. Capable of embodying a hundred different personas in a single character, switching instantly from comedy to drama, he masterfully embodied the Italian man with flamboyant irony. Simultaneously boastful and tragic, he never shied away from the grotesque side of Italian comedy, while excelling as a classical actor – he who always remained faithful to Theatre.
Winner of the César Award for Best Foreign Film in 1977
Long after the war, three comrades from the Resistance, coming from different backgrounds, meet again in Rome. Three destinies once united, three lives now separated. The film explores this past and present.
Ettore Scola
Ettore Scola was an Italian filmmaker and screenwriter renowned for his bold and distinctive style. He seamlessly blended sharp psychological analysis, biting satire of modern societies, irony, farce, disenchantment, and melancholy with innovative narrative techniques. His films often reflect on the role of the individual within society and history, exploring both personal and collective memory in the face of time. Scola gained recognition for the tragicomedy A Drama of Jealousy (Dramma della gelosia - tutti i particolari in cronaca), for which Marcello Mastroianni won the Best Actor Award 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. The following year, he released his most celebrated film, A Special Day (Una giornata particolare), starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. Over his career, Scola directed nearly 40 films across four decades.

The Easy Life by Dino Risi
Vittorio Gassman, coupable et innocent
S’il a endossé au cours de sa carrière des rôles d’une grande diversité, Vittorio Gassman a particulièrement brillé dans son incarnation outrancière d’une masculinité italienne reflétant les travers et faiblesses d’une société à la croisée des chemins et en perte de repères. Et si sa filmographie est pléthorique, sa collaboration fructueuse avec Dino Risi en demeure la pierre angulaire, terrain de jeu sur mesure pour l’acteur, qui était avant tout un homme de scène et se méfiait du réalisme au cinéma.
