LE CARROSSE D'OR | THE GOLDEN COACH

Jean Renoir | FRA, ITA | 1953 | 103'

In the 18th century, an Italian theatre company arrives in Peru. Three men from different social backgrounds — the viceroy, a bullfighter and a soldier — fall in love with Camilla (Anna Magnani), the star of the group. Undecided about whom to choose, Camilla is forced to reflect on her identity. Accompanied by the music of Antonio Vivaldi and enlivened by the incomparable vitality of Anna Magnani, The Golden Coach is one of the most beautiful tributes to commedia dell'arte and theatre in cinema, preserving its essence in the ambiguity of the boundaries between representation and reality, between theatre and life.
