La guerra dei vulcani

In his original documentary, Francesco Patierno follows the rivalry of two competing film productions that employ the famous actresses, Anna Magnani and Ingrid Bergman. Simultaneously, the two of them fall into a love triangle with the famous neo-realist director, Roberto Rossellini, who directs one of the films during this scandal. The documentary cleverly combines well-known film scenes of these renowned actresses with archive material, which is completed with anonymous commentary. It thus both reveals and helps to create the scandalous show of the international love affair of the 1950s. (Febiofest)
