40min

Sophia Loren's story told by Loren herself. The greatest Italian movie star of all time describes her life and career through a selection of the materials dating from between the fifties and the present day preserved in the archives of the Istituto Luce Cinecittà and the Rai. An exploration of the myth of a "unique" actor, relying exclusively on precious and sometimes rare archive footage, with a commentary in Loren's own words drawn from over half a century of interviews and firsthand accounts of the most important moments in her private life and her career. A documentary made to celebrate this great actor's eighty years and her immense charm and talent.
