Description:The ultimate Italian road comedy, IL SORPASSO stars the unlikely pair of Vittorio Gassman (BIG DEAL ON MADONNA STREET) and Jean-Louis Trintignant (Z) as, respectively, a waggish, free-wheeling bachelor and the bookish law student he takes on a madcap trip from Rome to rural Southern Italy. An unpredictable journey that careers from slapstick to tragedy, this film, directed by Dino Risi (the original SCENT OF a WOMAN), is a wildly entertaining commentary on the pleasures and consequences of the good life. A holy grail of commedia all'italiana, IL SORPASSO is so fresh and exciting that one can easily see why it has long been adored in Italy.
Il Sorpasso, now available on Blu-Ray from Criterion Collection (Direct), is a celebrated Italian road movie directed by Dino Risi. This 1962 classic follows the impulsive Bruno Cortona and the reserved Roberto Mariani as they embark on an unforgettable journey through Rome and the Italian countryside during a languid summer holiday. The film masterfully blends comedy with poignant social commentary, capturing Italy?s changing postwar society. Criterion Collection is renowned for its meticulous restorations and authoritative editions of significant films, ensuring that Il Sorpasso shines in high-definition quality with insightful bonus features. The cast includes Vittorio Gassman as Bruno Cortona, whose charismatic performance solidified his status as one of Italy's greatest actors?known also for "Big Deal on Madonna Street" and "I Soliti Ignoti." Jean-Louis Trintignant stars as Roberto Mariani; he later gained international acclaim in films like "A Man and a Woman" and Michael Haneke?s "Amour." Director Dino Risi was pivotal to commedia all?italiana cinema, earning accolades for works such as "Profumo di donna," which inspired Hollywood's "Scent of a Woman." Screenwriter Ettore Scola contributed significantly to Italian cinema with classics like ?We All Loved Each Other So Much.? Together, these talents created an enduring masterpiece that continues to resonate across generations.
