Giuseppe De Santis

A brief tribute to the great director, spanning through some insights about his character, his works, his life, through the words of critics, relatives, colleagues, with a collage technique of interviews, archive footage, and brief excerpts and pictures from some of his works.

Directed by Carlo Lizzani, Giuseppe De Santis leans on a strong ensemble — Alessandro Angelini, Lino Capolicchio, Stefano della Casa — 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 documentary titles of 2008.
