Ettore Scola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ettore Scola (born May 10, 1931) is an Italian screenwriter and film director.
Scola was born in Trevico, province of Avellino (Campania).
He entered the film industry as a screenwriter in 1953, and directed his first movie, Let's Talk About Women, in 1964. In 1974 Scola enjoyed international success with We All Loved Each Other So Much (C'eravamo tanto amati), a wide fresco of post-World War II Italy life and politics, dedicated to fellow director Vittorio De Sica. In 1976 he won the Prix de la mise en scène at Cannes Film Festival for the excellent and provocative "Ugly, Dirty and Bad" (Brutti, sporchi e cattivi).
Since then Ettore Scola has made several successful films, including A Special Day (1977), That Night In Varennes (1982), What Time Is It? (1989) and Captain Fracassa's Journey (1990). Ettore Scola has directed close to 40 films in some 40 years, and he is still active.
