Francesco ROSI
France, Italy1984 155min DCP Color
ThThe tragic fate of the lovely Carmen, a cigar factory worker. She seduces Don Jose and in turn lets herself be seduced by Escamillo. A tale where love meets death in the afternoon; George Bizet’s famous opera superbly filmed by Francesco Rosi.
Born in Naples, Francesco Rosi(1922–2015) was an aggressive, uncompromising social crusader, a journalist with a camera, working in the traditions of postwar Italian neorealism. Most of his films portrayed economically poor and politically corrupted Italian south regions seen through his blunt and unadorned direct eyes.
