...moods of such noted directors as Federico Fellini and Roman Polanski; in Rome. Delli Colli gave a distinct look to every film he worked on--choosing supersaturated hues for Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and unadorned black and white for his collaboration with Pier Paolo Pasolini on The Gospel According to St. Matthew. He retired his camera after shooting Life Is Beautiful...
...gesture probably intended to mollify a press that had been portraying him as an unrelenting hard-liner, the newly chosen Benedict invited journalists as guests to his first public appearance in the Vatican's Paolo VI auditorium on April 23. But he was ill at ease, and the ever vigilant Italian scribes noted that the hemline of his robes was cut far too high, offering an unusually revealing look at his ruby papal slippers.

While preaching, Karol Wojtyla would wave, gesticulate and repeatedly make the sign of the Cross. Benedict's pulpit style is austere by contrast, which more and more seems a philosophical choice...
...novel The Late Mattia Pascal and the play Henry IV. Both movies offer aspects of the basic Pirandello theme, in which the universe is a carrousel whirling off its moral axis, and man's ego is a mask that conceals a gaping void. In their entrancing new film, Paolo and Vittorio Taviani have revived a less familiar Pirandello: the compulsive storyteller, spinning tales about his native Sicily, its stern landscape and elemental passions. Kaos dramatizes four of the short fictions Pirandello collected in his 15-volume A Story for Every Day in the Year. Three (The Other...
