This is good: The Film Society at Lincoln Center is holding a retrospective of movies starring Anna Magnani. Anna Magnani was one of the greatest Italian actresses, known for iconic films like Roma città aperta and her Oscar-winning performance in The Rose Tattoo. Magnani’s face, with its dark under eye circles, is unforgettable. Her acting was realistic and intense and underlined the emotional depth and humanity of her characters. Her roles, comic or dramatic, reflect the story of post-WWII Italy. The retrospective runs from May 18th to June 1st and is all-encompassing, including a wide range of her movies. Some are familiar, others less so. See as many as possible, she’s worth it!
