About Il provinciale
The young Giovanni, who grew up in the provinces, arrives in Rome with the dream of becoming a famous journalist, but no newspaper is willing to hire him. Waiting for better times, the boy finds a job as a gas station attendant. One day he becomes the victim of an accident with the beautiful Giulia, who runs over him with her car. A relationship will arise between the two but Giovanni, in her naivety, has not yet understood that she works as a luxury prostitute.
Directed by Luciano Salce, Il provinciale leans on a strong ensemble — Gianni Morandi, Maria Grazia Buccella, Sergio Leonardi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1971.
