Anna

Rome, March 21, 1956. Anna Magnani is awaiting the Oscar results. That night, she won’t stay put: she’ll wander through the city’s alleys and squares, among the people who love her and the memories that dwell in her heart.

An intimate, nocturnal portrait of the greatest Italian actress of all time — the first non-English-speaking actress to win the Oscar for Best Actress for *The Rose Tattoo*. Surrounding her are the people who were closest to her: Suso Cecchi D’Amico, Carol Levi, Ferruccio Ferrara. And her great, troubled love for Roberto Rossellini, “an imprint on the heart that lives on even when time has erased everything else.”

Anna also marks Monica Guerritore’s directorial debut; she directs, writes, and stars in the film, fully embodying her protagonist.
