L'amore (1948)
Country: IT
Technical: bw 79m
Director: Roberto Rossellini
Cast: Anna Magnani, Federico Fellini
Synopsis:
A diptych of stories featuring the actress as love's victim. In the first she waits anxiously on the end of a phone for her lover to ring; in the second a Pan-like goatherd seduces her.
Review:
The experimental first half (Una voce umana), all blood and thunder, and an exhausting performance, gives way to a whimsical, ironic second (Il miracolo). The whole is a monument to 'la Mama' Magnani.
