Just happen to a particular day, which will be screened at the New Theatre Circus on Friday July 15.
When A Special Day (1977, Italy-Canada), directed by Ettore Scola, was presented at the Cannes critics referred to it as an exciting film.
Exciting for its original approach, intimate chronicle of a day, of the May 6, 1938, Scola became one of the harshest accusations against fascism.
He did not resort to the pamphlet, aggressiveness, beatings, torture, but simply the portrait of two lives marginalized, to oppose the entire regime's propaganda apparatus, the mediocrity and sleaze, the frustration of those lives, not own ineptitude or by chance, if not even more cruel, the marginalization of the system.
On May 6, 1938, Hitler visiting Rome.
It is a holiday for Fascist Italy, which turns in hosting.
In a tenement are only the caretaker, housekeeper Antonietta and Gabriele, who fears him arrested for homosexuality.
Regardless of political celebration, Antonietta and Gabriele establish an emotional relationship very special to evade them for a few hours of the sadness of his life.
Scripted by Ettore Scola, Ruggero Maccari Mauricio Costanzo, the text would result in a stage adaptation of the same name later and has been repeatedly represented in Spain (the best known versions in our country have been those of José Sacristán, Charo Lopez, Josep Anna Maria Flotats Lizaran and Fernando Delgado, Esperanza Roy).
The film was produced by Carlo Ponti and starring Mastroianni and Sophia Loren.
