Pietro Germi
Description:Shotgun weddings, kidnapping, attempted murder, emergency dental work-the things Don Vincenzo will do to restore his family's honor! Pietro Germi's Seduced and Abandoned was the follow-up to his international sensation Divorce Italian Style, and in many ways it's even more audacious-a rollicking yet raw series of escalating comic calamities that ensue in a small village when sixteen-year-old Agnese (the beautiful Stefania Sandrelli) loses her virginity at the hands of her sister's lascivious Fiancé. Merciless and mirthful, Seduced and Abandoned skewers Sicilian social customs and pompous patriarchies with a sly, devilish grin.
Seduced & Abandoned is a classic Italian comedy film directed by Pietro Germi, now available on DVD from the renowned Criterion Collection. This 1964 masterpiece satirizes Sicilian social customs and honor codes with sharp wit and unforgettable performances. The story follows Agnese Ascalone (Stefania Sandrelli), whose family becomes embroiled in scandal after her secret romance is discovered, leading to a series of comic yet poignant events. Director Pietro Germi was an acclaimed filmmaker known for his incisive comedies such as "Divorce Italian Style," which won him the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Stefania Sandrelli, one of Italy?s most celebrated actresses, has starred in classics like "The Conformist" and "1900." Saro Urzì delivers a powerful performance as Don Vincenzo Ascalone; he previously won Best Actor at Cannes for his role in Germi's "Seduced & Abandoned."
