Second appointment with the Charlot Award: new guests at Delle Arti in Salerno

Second appointment with the Charlot Award: new guests at Delle Arti in Salerno

The curtain rose yesterday (Sunday, July 10) at 20:1961 p.m., at the Cinema Teatro Delle Arti, on the XXXIV edition of the Charlot Award. The red ribbon, positioned in the foyer of the structure in via Guerino Grimaldi, was cut by the patron and artistic director Claudio Tortora, who then accompanied the audience to the cinema hall where the XNUMX film “Accattone” written and directed by Pasolini was screened, included in the mini film festival, created in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna, which this year is dedicated to the poet, writer, actor, screenwriter, playwright and director on the centenary of his birth.

After the repeat screening of the film “Accattone” today, the mini-festival dedicated to Pasolini continues with the second screening scheduled for Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 July, again at 20 pm and again with free admission until seats are taken.

“Uccellacci e Uccellini” is the film that will be shown in these two days, also included among the 100 Italian films to save. The 1966 film stars Totò and Ninetto Davoli and was produced by Alfredo Bini. The shooting of this film, the last starring Totò, was filmed between Assisi, Rome, Tuscania and Fiumicino airport. The soundtrack of the film was composed by Ennio Morricone and partly consists of arrangements of the duet “Bei Mannern welche Lieve fuhlen” from Mozart's “The Magic Flute”.

The film was a great critical success, but its commercial success was disappointing, so much so that it was the film with Totò that obtained the lowest takings ever. For his interpretation in this film Totò was awarded with a special mention at the Cannes Film Festival in 1966 and the Golden Globe again as best actor. The film won the Silver Ribbon for best leading actor (Totò) and one for best original story written by Pasolini himself.

THE OTHER SCREENINGS
The tribute to Pier Paolo Pasolini continues on 14/15 July with the screening of “Decameron”
