Alida (2021)

Tells the life of the great Italian actress Alida Valli through her private writings, which are disclosed for the very first time. Alida had a mysterious and fascinating personality, often deliberately impenetrable. Her story was extraordinary, unique and intriguing, a continuous swing of joy and pain, made of difficult choices, but always sincere. Love and art conditioned and shaped Alida's character as a woman and are reflected in her artistic journey. Alida's family has honored me of the privilege to be the first director to access her immense personal archive and to discover and understand the depth of her soul. This vast and precious personal heritage can be brought to life and shared by new generations, allowing them to discover one of the most important and representative international actresses of our cinema and our history, and to know her true face.
