Indro Montanelli TV

Italians! (1x5)

:

Italians and their flaws, contradictions, bursts of generosity, the remarkable ability to adapt in any situation, the inclination towards compromise: vices and virtues of a people stigmatized by a Montanelli as incisive and insightful as ever, an "anti-Italian" who criticizes and lashes out at his country precisely because he loves it. These exceptional documents show him in the unusual role of "commentator reporter" in the early sixties, when a cast of great stars - including Paolo Ferrari, Nino Manfredi, Raffaele Pisu, Franca Rame - animated an interesting satire show on customs, Italians Are Made Like This. A smart television, open to intellectuals, that still appears to us today in all its disruptive modernity.
