A self-taught poet of cinema, a fierce filmmaker and story-teller, Pasolini\u2019s guide to the anthropological character of the suburbs of Rome, Sergio Citti is an artist of unparalleled calibre, even beyond the Italian film scene. From Vittorio Gassman to Fiorello, from Harvey Keitel to Jodie Foster, from Carlo Verdone to Roberto Benigni, his films are inhabited by an amazing roster of actors and characters, the faces and voices of a great novelist who is gifted with a vision at once elemental and eye-opening. This book features a complete filmography (annotated by Citti\u2019s most renowned scholars), a detailed biography, an updated bibliography and a compilation of interviews. The volume also offers a previously unpublished collection of accounts by all the talented people who shared his artistic adventure, and a series of portraits, conveying the expressive journey of the director as well as that of the man. In the words of Carlo Verdone, \u201cCitti\u2019s work in cinema was truly unique; I like to call him a proletarian craftsman of cinema. He was gifted with a very special sensitivity and was also a remarkably kind and generous person. He made people laugh because he was simply \u2018Sergio Citti de Fiumicino,\u2019 with his slightly too-long hair and that beautiful Swedish wife of his who spoke Italian better than he did.\u201d<\/p>\n
