About Cinecittà Babilonia: Sex, Drugs and Black Shirts
The story of Italian cinema under Fascism, a sophisticated film industry built around the founding of the Cinecittà studios and the successful birth of a domestic star system, populated by very peculiar artists among whom stood out several beautiful, magnetic, special actresses; a dark story of war, drugs, sex, censorship and tragedy.
Directed by Marco Spagnoli, Cinecittà Babilonia: Sex, Drugs and Black Shirts leans on a strong ensemble — Vinicio Marchioni, Martina Querini, Eleonora Belcamino — 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 2017.
