The Witches
1h 51m
Directed by Mauro Bolognini, Vittorio De Sica, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Franco Rossi, and Luchino Visconti • 1967 • Italy, France
Starring Silvana Mangano, Annie Girardot, Massimo Girotti
Five of Italy’s greatest directors contributed segments—each starring the divine Silvana Mangano—to this offbeat omnibus gem. Among the highlights: Luchino Visconti’s unsettling study of beauty and jealousy “The Witch Burned Alive”; Pier Paolo Pasolini’s comic tale of matrimony “The Earth Seen from the Moon”; and Vittorio De Sica directing a young Clint Eastwood as Mangano’s husband in “An Evening Like the Others,” inspired by Italian comic books.
