The only Italian film at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, Vittorio De Sica – Staging Life by Francesco Zippel retraces the life, work, and legacy of one of the greatest masters of world cinema, leading us to the heart of his vision: the extraordinary ability to transform life into storytelling and human experience into images.
Thanks to exclusive access to the De Sica family, previously unseen archival materials, and testimonies from contemporary artists and filmmakers from around the world, the film builds an intimate and multifaceted portrait of an author capable of transforming the observation of reality into universal emotion.
More than a celebration, the film is a journey into the man, the artist, and the surprising modernity of a gaze whose vitality continues to illuminate cinema and the way we observe the world.
