Mr. Bongo Films is delighted to announce three of Italy’s finest director’s films released for the first time on DVD: Bernardo Bertolucci’s murder mystery The Grim Reaper, Pier Paolo Pasolini’s heart breaking Mamma Roma and Ermanno Olmi’s comedy drama Il Posto. These brilliant films will be released on 25 April 2011.
Bertolucci’s directorial debut The Grim Reaper aka La Commare Secca is based on a book by Pasolini and tells the story of a prostitute who is brutally murdered in a park near the Tiber River in Rome.
Pasolini’s Mamma Roma stars the Academy award-winning Anna Magnani (The Rose Tattoo) who plays the lead role of a prostitute who attempts to better her life for her son Ettore (Ettore Garofolo – Ro.Go.Pa.G.).
Olmi’s semi auto-biographical Il Posto aka The Sound Of Trumpets is a satirical take on the daily grind of working life.
