Il grande appello

Artefact Type:

film

Description:

Drama film shot by the creator of the 'commedia all'italiana', who yields here to a patriotic gesture, telling a passionate story set in East Africa during the Ethiopian war. The film develops the theme of the generational contrast between a father, individualist adventurer without any values (who redeems himself at the end), and his son, entirely dedicated to his nationalistic and colonialistic ideals, which represents the contrast between old and new (the fascist regime).
