Sergio Corbucci: L'uomo che ride (2015)

One of the most prolific and eclectic filmmakers in Italian cinema: in the course of his forty-year career, Sergio Corbucci made over seventy films with forays into every possible genre, from "sword-and-sandals" to horror, from comedy to detective stories, from musicals to westerns. Borrowing from the director's unpublished autobiography, the documentary uses repertory materials from the Istituto Luce and private amateur photographs and videos, relying on the accounts of friends and collaborators and in particular of his wife Nori.
