Description

This raucous sex comedy that brought international fame to director Lina Wertmüller (Swept Away) centers on sad sack Mimi (Giancarlo Giannini, Seven Beauties), a Sicilian laborer whose refusal to vote for the Mafia’s candidate leads him to lose his job, his wife, and his home. At rock bottom, he revives his spirits by falling in love with the beautiful, radical Fiorella (Mariangela Melato, Summer Night), with whom he starts a new life as a reliable husband and father. But the past comes back to haunt him, piling on comical complexities as all his energies surge into defending his honor, an obsession that has horrendous but hilarious consequences. A blistering satire of Italy in the 1970s, The Seduction of Mimi takes aim at a corrupt government, compromised labor leaders, and the Neanderthal sexual politics of men in power, with uproarious results.
The Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino and Minerva Pictures present the 4K digital restoration of The Seduction of Mimi. Made from the original 35mm sound and picture negatives preserved at Cinecittà Studios.
