BIOGRAPHY OF MARCO FERRERI
Film director. He takes his first steps in the world of entertainment with extreme difficulty. In fact, he arrived at the cinema at the beginning of the 1950s (after having ventured into various professions) as a producer of a series of films – an investigation that should have taken the name of ‘Monthly document’, but the initiative failed almost immediately. After a brief working experience with Cesare Zavattini (‘Love in the city’, 1959), he moved to Spain where he became a seller of camera lenses. Almost by chance he meets the writer Rafael Azcona, who becomes his trusted screenwriter. The couple made, between 1958 and 1960, the triptych of films ‘El piso’ (1958), ‘Los Chicos’ (1959) and ‘El Cochecito’ (1960). These are low-cost films in which, however, the themes that will characterize much of Ferreri’s cinema can already be glimpsed: black humor, bizarre couplings, the world of the elderly. Back in Italy, he runs into censorship with his first production ‘A modern story – L’ape regina’ (1963). In 1965 he signed ‘The man of the five balloons’ (1965) which the producer Carlo Ponti reduces to an episode of the collective film ‘Oggi, oggi e postodomani’. In 1969, he made what is believed to be his masterpiece ‘Dillinger is dead’. After a decade, that of the seventies, characterized by a series of successes – among others ‘La cagna’ (1972), ‘La grande buffata’ (1973) and ‘Don’t touch the white woman’ (1974) – the eighties they are characterized by a sort of return to the past with ‘Stories of ordinary madness’ (1981), ‘History of Piera’ (1983) and ‘The future is a woman’ (1984). With ‘The house of the smile’ he won, in 1991, the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. After the not completely successful ‘La carne’ (1991) and ‘Diario di un vizio’ (1993) in 1996 he presented his latest film, ‘Silver nitrate’, at the Venice Film Festival. He died of a heart attack at the Pitie Salpetrière hospital in Paris.
