C'eravamo tanto amati (Wir waren so verliebt) | Italy 1974 | Dir: Ettore Scola | Scr: Agenore Incrocci, Ettore Scola, Furio Scarpelli | Cam: Claudio Cirillo | Mus: Armando Trovajoli | Cast: Nino Manfredi, Vittorio Gassman, Stefania Sandrelli, Stefano Satta Flores, Federico Fellini, Marcello Mastroianni | 124 min | OmU – Ettore Scola's elegant tragicomedy is one of the most beautiful declarations of love to cinema, to Italianità, to life and to love. In a wistful tone and with comedic scenes, it tells, as a long flashback spanning three decades, of the life and disappointed youthful hopes of three men and the woman who stands between them. The film goes back to the time of the Resistenza, touches on the history of the Italian left between utopia and adaptation and – of course – also on the history of Italian cinema.
