...and a definition. A portrait and the sketch about a life. Good choice for nostalgics, fine introduction for young viewer, the film has the virtue to give the basic tools for understand a great Italian cinema actress in her profound traits. A sort of revolutionary figure, Anna Magnani remains impressive, seductive and the words of her son, Luca Magnani are the wise ingredient for to discover the truth behind the myth, the fair mesure of an intense life and the force of a splendid career.

Boring, boring, boring.
arzewski31 March 2023
Simply put, a boring documentary. Linear in time, void storytelling, staid information. There are other documentaries that are much more engaging and exciting. This one really looked like an old-fashioned production. The old reels from the Istituto Luce are good. But the presentation of the material is just unappealing. Maybe for an italian old aged audience that knew her work, this documentary would work. But for a non-italian audience, this production fell on deaf ears. I was hoping for a more engaging and riveting production and presentation, knowing the actress style, but it was all dull. Maybe another time.
