Two Women (1960)
Directed by Vittorio De Sica, Two Women (La Ciociara) is a harrowing and deeply moving masterpiece of Italian Neorealism. It is best known for the transformative performance of Sophia Loren, who became the first actor to win an Academy Award for a non-English speaking role.
Mamma Roma (1962)
Directed by the visionary Pier Paolo Pasolini, Mamma Roma (1962) is a cornerstone of Italian cinema that bridges the gap between post-war Neorealism and the more stylized, operatic approach of Pasolini’s later works. It features one of the most powerful performances in the history of film by the legendary Anna Magnani.
The Great Silence (1968)
Directed by Sergio Corbucci, The Great Silence (Il Grande Silenzio) is widely considered one of the most unique and influential “Revisionist Westerns” ever made. Eschewing the dusty deserts of Spain for the freezing, snow-covered mountains of the Dolomites, it offers a haunting and subzero take on the genre.
Django (1966)
Django is a definitive 1966 Spaghetti Western that pushed the boundaries of on-screen violence and style. Directed by Sergio Corbucci, it introduced one of the most iconic anti-heroes in cinema history, spawning dozens of unofficial sequels and eventually inspiring Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 reimagining.
