Netflix Find: "Marcello Mastroianni: I Remember"

I have luxuriated in three hours and 20 minutes worth of evocative anecdotes, thoughts and memories of Italy’s finest actor. It’s easy to dismiss Marcello Mastroianni as doing for acting what Frank Sinatra did for singing; they both made it look effortlessly easy. But watching Marcello’s fantastic versatility, displayed in numerous clips from his films—he made over 170, makes you aware of what a master-craftsman he was.

Marcello said, "Sensitivity limits actors and makes them mediocre, while intellect and composure makes actors great."

Indeed, Marcello Mastroianni’s elegant restraint and balanced intelligence comes through in every scene he ever played.

Made in 2000, the documentary/memoir was directed by Marcello’s companion of 22 years, Anna Maria Tato. Marcello Mastroianni passed away in 1996.

"Marcello Mastroianni: I Remember" is a great choice for the old DVD library.
