Rouben Mamoulian: A Touch of Desire (1926-1957)
Retrospective at Il Cinema Ritrovato, June 24-July 2, 2023
Known for his ability to encode his vision in light, movement, and later in colour, the Tbilisi-born Armenian Rouben Mamoulian had one of the most consistent bodies of work in American cinema. Rightly celebrated for his invaluable contribution to Hollywood's transition to sound, he both unchained the camera and used dialogue like a work of musical accompaniment. His mobile camera was envied and imitated, and his style is instantly recognisable for its sophistication, humour and erotic undertone. Mamoulian was equally efficient in more sombre types of cinema, serving as a pioneering figure in both gangster and horror genres. This career retrospective showcases Mamoulian's work from his only silent film, to the early sound period, to his final musical, in colour and CinemaScope. Aside from a new digital restoration of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, everything else will be screened in 35mm.
- The dates subject to change until the official announcement of the programme in June 2023.
- All screenings in 35mm except Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, to be a screened from a digitally restored copy.
- The venue: Cinema Jolly
