Story
Roberto Rossellini fue un legendario director de cine, artífice del Neorralísmo italiano y padre de una gran familia dispersa por todo el mundo. Su alocada vida protagonizaba las portadas de los principales periódicos de la época. ¿Qué ha supuesto para sus sucesores llevar el famoso apellido Rossellini?Alessandro Rossellini, su nieto mayor, reúne en este documental a su cosmopolita, alocada e inconformista familia y realiza un ingenioso retrato de sus agridulces vidas, con la carismática figura del maestro siempre presente. La dinastía Rossellini incluye estrellas de Hollywood, una hija convertida al islam o, como es el caso del propio Alessandro, un fotógrafo que lucha por salir de las drogas. Todos ellos se abren y hacen terapia familiar en ¿Los Rossellini¿ para superar la carga que ha supuesto para ellos su famoso apellido por creer no estar a la altura.
Story
Original newsreels, clips from Roberto Rossellini films starring the actress, and above all, astonishing home movies made largely by Ingrid Bergman herself: they all go into this story of the great Hollywood star's Italian years, from 1948 to 1956. Eight years that cover her memorable love affair with Roberto Rossellini, their three children and five unforgettable films. It's an Italian journey through Ingrid's eyes, here in an unusual role as "director", and an emotional and at times exotic look at the country, part family life, part Dolce Vita. The narrator for the occasion is the actress herself, in interviews and other stock footage, with the exception of a letter to Roberto Rossellini which is the stuff of legend, read by their daughter Isabella.
