Allonsanfan Italian 1974 Paolo Vittorio Taviani Limited Edition Blu-ray Radiance

Taviani brothers' classic featuring one of Ennio Morricone's finest scores!

Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition Blu-ray for 1974's Allonsanfan. After the fall of Napoleon, the Restoration begins. Fulvio (Marcello Mastroianni, La dolce vita), an aristocrat who has dedicated his life to the revolution has become disillusioned and his cowardice keeps him from joining his comrades. As he struggles to manage his evasion and lies he gets swept up in a suicidal uprising in Southern Italy.

Stunningly photographed with lush period detail and featuring the Taviani brothers' trademark magic realism and absurdist irony, Allonsanfàn has Mastroianni on top form as the reluctant insurgent and one of Ennio Morricone’s finest scores. Radiance Films is proud to present this essential film on Blu-ray for the first time in the world.
