Il bel tributo a un'attrice leggendaria! Very well done, Mirko! :)

Sophia is at her best acting!

[TheBigValley]

@cloudidogz Thank you always Cloud! The role of Sophia Loren was designed for Anna Magnani and Sophia Loren was to play his daughter. If not mistaken, Loren could not play the role of the daughter because higher compared to the mother. This certainly is the best role for Sophia, but do not forget the great performance in Marriage Italian Style! ;)

What a moving video, superb job! The music by Morricone was brilliant!

Loren is amazing and has always been one of my fave actresses in the history of film! bravo to you, Lady E ---{--@

Exciting, dramatic film with excellent actors.

Two women are trapped by violent passion and unforgettable terror!

Cesira and her minor daughter to escape the Allied bombing of Rome. You return to the village where Cesira was born.

The mother is doing everything to protect Rosetta. But suddenly they are raped by soldiers. A cruel event. Then. A young intellectual in love with Cesira

As always, a great picture and sound quality, thanks to the work of Mr. Mirko.

The music is wonderful.

Thanks. 5*

@nonsifiniscemaidi Uno dei più intensi film neorealistici. Il film non vinse l'oscar purtroppo come film straniero, ma vinse la Loren come migliore attrice!

Grazie Massimo del tuo commento!

Un bel riassunto del film, che descrive molto bene Cesira e l'amore per la figlia, e poi il dramma che vivono assieme. La musica si adatta perfettamente, è bellissima e manco a dirlo è opera del grande Morricone.....

this is why Sohpia won the oscar.
