"This is truly one of the great films of all time." - Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
Internationally acclaimed director Vittorio De Sica's Academy AwardŽ-winning classic (Best Foreign Language Film, 1971) is gorgeously remastered and features new yellow subtitles for better legibility.
Amid the ravages of WWII, the Finzi-Continis, a cultured Jewish family, languish in aristocratic splendor on their Eden-like estate in Ferrara, Italy. As the political atmosphere becomes increasingly hostile to its Jewish citizens, the handsome and carefree Finzi-Contini children Micol (Dominique Sanda) and Alberto (Helmut Berger) turn their well-appointed home into a refuge for their young friends. In an atmosphere of emotional instability, they play out a series of heartbreaking romantic rituals which spiral into tragedy as Fascism gradually descends upon their world.
The Garden Of The Finzi-Continis returned director De Sica, one of the world's greatest and most influential filmmakers, to the acclaim garnered by his neo-realist classics Shoeshine and The Bicycle Thief.
