Rémi Fournier Lanzoni on IL SORPASSO

Italy’s highest-grossing film of 1962, IL SORPASSO is among the most beloved movies of the golden age of commedia all’italiana, which lasted from the late 1950s to the 1970s. In this 2014 interview, scholar Rémi Fournier Lanzoni discussed the film’s resonance with Italian audiences, its social commentary, and how it embodies Dino Risi’s style.
