Himself
Francesco d'Assisi
Francesco d'Assisi
Cavani made her first full-length feature film in 1966 with Francis of Assisi (Francesco d'Assisi). Made for television and aired in two parts, it was deeply influenced by the style of Rossellini and the atmosphere typical of the films of Pasolini. Made in a period of political unrest, it was to become a kind of manifesto of dissenting Catholicism. Starring Lou Castel, it portrays Francis of Assisi as a slightly depressed protestor and an avid, albeit mad, supporter of armed brotherhood. The ideal defender of the 1968 student movement. The film was a great success, but also triggered many negative reactions. It was called "heretical, blasphemous and offensive for the faith of the Italian people". It was the first of many polemical reactions to Cavani's work.

Alessandro
En los montes cerca de Piacenza, en un chalet antes lujoso y actualmente en ruinas, vive una familia burguesa casi totalmente aislada. La madre tiene cuatro hijos, está ciega y no se ocupa de su educación ni de la administración de la casa. En cambio, Augusto, el hijo mayor y jefe de familia, parece estar siempre pensando en el momento en que se marchará de esa casa. Sus hermanos Alessandro, Leone y Giulia muestran trastornos mentales. Leone tiene epilepsia y es incapaz de razonar. Giulia, aparentemente normal, se ha quedado anclada en un estado totalmente infantil y ha establecido una relación morbosa con su hermano Alessandro. También éste sufre epilepsia, pero demuestra una fría lucidez mental, hasta el punto de urdir planes diabólicos para asesinar a toda la familia... (FILMAFFINITY)

Película basada en la novela homónima de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (1958). Es la época de la unificación de Italia en torno al Piamonte, cuyo artífice fue Cavour. La acción se desarrolla en Palermo y los protagonistas son Don Fabrizio, Príncipe de Salina, y su familia, cuya vida se ve alterada tras la invasión de Sicilia por las tropas de Garibaldi (1860). Para alejarse de los disturbios, la familia se refugia en la casa de campo que posee en Donnafugata. Hasta el lugar se desplazan, además de la mujer del Príncipe y sus tres hijos, el joven Tancredi, el sobrino predilecto de Don Fabrizio, que parece simpatizar con el movimiento liberal de unificación
