New 4K Restoration
(1972, Francesco Rosi) It’s only a quick plane ride home by private jet; so why do Enrico Mattei’s friends keep begging off? Rosi’s cine-inchieste (film investigation) of Gian Maria Volonté/Mattei’s turbulent life rockets from nazi fighting to international wheeling/dealing in gas and oil, but always comes back to that 1962... accident? Palme d’Or, Cannes. Approx. 118 min. DCP. Restored in 4K by Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata, in association with The Film Foundation, Paramount Pictures, and Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino. Restoration funding provided by Gucci, Eni, and The Film Foundation.
