The 42TFF retrospective is a great homage to Marlon Brando (whose 100th birthday falls this year) and includes 24 titles that trace his career from his beginnings in 1950 to one of his last performances in 1996. Charismatic and gifted with great talent, Brando interpreted very different roles, imposing a recitative style away from the canons of the era and helped to establish him as one of the sacred monsters of cinema history.
The 42nd TFF poster is also dedicated to Marlon Brando, portrayed in 1972 in the set of the controversial ‘Last Tango in Paris’ directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. It is one of the rare photos in which he looks directly into the camera, a sly, complicit shot that seduces and shows, in no uncertain terms, his unparalleled beauty. (Ph. Eva Sereny / Iconic Images)
With the association “+ Culture Accessibile ” it was decided that three titles of the retrospective dedicated to Marlon Brando will be made accessible not only to motor disabilities (all the theatres are already accessible) but also to sensory and cognitive disabilities.
