Connection
Dino Risi is a Actor, Director, Scriptwriter and Assistant Director Italien born on 23 december 1916 at Milan (Italie)
Dino Risi (23 December 1916 – 7 June 2008) was an Italian film director. With Mario Monicelli, Luigi Comencini, Nanni Loy and Ettore Scola, he was one of the masters of Commedia all'italiana. He was born in Milan. Has two brothers, an older brother Fernando Risi (1890-?) a cinematographer and a younger brother, Nelo Risi (1920-) a director and writer.
At the age of twelve, Risi became an orphan and was looked after by relatives and friends of his family. He studied medicine and later became a psychiatrist.
Risi started his career in cinema as an assistant director to cinema figures such as Mario Soldati and Alberto Lattuada. Later he began directing his own films and was credited with giving early opportunities to future acting stars such as Sophia Loren and Vittorio Gassman. His 1966 film Treasure of San Gennaro was entered into the 5th Moscow International Film Festival where it won a Silver Prize.
His biggest hits were Poor, But Handsome (Poveri ma belli), followed by two sequels, which he also directed; A Difficult Life (Una vita difficile); The Easy Life (Il sorpasso); Opiate '67 or, in a cut version, 15 From Rome (I Mostri); and Scent Of A Woman (Profumo di Donna), which was remade by Martin Brest starring Al Pacino in 1992.
In 2002, he was awarded the Golden Lion – Honorary Award (Leone d'oro alla carriera) at the Venice Film Festival for his life-time work. Two of his films, Il giovedì and Il commissario Lo Gatto, were shown in a retrospective section on Italian comedy at the 67th Venice International Film Festival.
He died on 7 June 2008 at his residence in Rome. He was 91 and is survived by two children, Claudio and Marco (film director).
He was an atheist.
Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il se réfugie en Suisse où il suit les cours de Jacques Feyder. L'après-guerre favorise la reprise du cinéma italien. De 1946 à 1949, il contribue à l'écriture de scénarios et à la réalisation de documentaires. Avec Vacanze col gangster, il passe à la réalisation de longs métrages en 1952.
À partir des années 1950, il devient l'un des grands réalisateurs de comédies à l'italienne. Son succès débute en 1957 avec la farce critique Pauvres mais beaux et confirme son talent en 1960 avec L'Homme aux cent visages qui signe le début d’une longue collaboration avec un de ses acteurs fétiches, Vittorio Gassman, qui pour son rôle dans Parfum de femme obtient le prix d'interprétation masculine au Festival de Cannes de 1975. Ses autres acteurs préférés sont Nino Manfredi, Ugo Tognazzi, Alberto Sordi et Marcello Mastroianni.
Il excelle dans le film à sketches comme la série Les Monstres, mais aussi dans les drames comme Le Fanfaron ou Fantôme d'amour.
Souvent nommé mais jamais récompensé au Festival de Cannes, ce dernier par reconnaissance, finit par organiser une rétrospective de quinze de ses films en 1993.
En 2002, le cinéaste avait reçu un Lion d'or pour l'ensemble de sa carrière à la Mostra de Venise. Une ovation debout avait accompagné ce moment.
Dino Risi est l'un des derniers « monstres » de l'âge d'or du cinéma italien. Travailleur infatigable, il a réalisé plus d'une cinquantaine de films.
Il est le père de Marco Risi, lui aussi réalisateur de films.
