Marina Cicogna - La vita e tutto il resto

A documentary about the historic film producer, the first woman to make her mark in a predominantly male environment. A key figure in the great season of Italian auteur cinema between the late 1960s and the 1970s, Marina Cicogna worked with great directors and actors, winning an Oscar with "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion" by Elio Petri and a Golden Lion with "Belle de Jour" by Luis Buñuel in Venice.

Il prigioniero

Paolo and Maria are two ordinary newlyweds who live just outside their town. One morning Paolo goes out to buy some fish and doesn't come home. Down in the main square, a woman has had a valuable necklace snatched by a teenager on a lark. When the thief gets away, Paolo, whose path has crossed that of the woman and the townspeople, is accused by the victim of pulling off the heist. He tries to run away but is picked up by a cop and taken to a basement, where the policeman orders him not to move and await his return.
