Malizia (Italian word for "malicious") is an Italian comedy film with dramatic as well as romantic-erotic elements from 1973. The film, directed by Salvatore Samperi , made leading actress Laura Antonelli a star and won her the Nastro d'Argento film award .
action
The 1960s in Acereale, Sicily : Angela, an attractive young woman, comes to the house of the recently widowed Don Ignazio and his three sons: eighteen-year-old Antonio, fourteen-year-old Nino and six-year-old Enzio. The men of the house are impressed by Angela's beauty. After a while, Ignazio asked the maid to hand her over, only as a condition that the three sons also agree to the wedding. While the older and younger sons would agree to a wedding, the middle son - Nino, who is in the middle of puberty - is against it. He is in love with Angela himself and presses her more and more to get involved with him and meet his erotic demands. Angela finds herself forced to spend a night with Nino in the end. Nino then gives his consent to his father's wedding to Angela.
background
It took Samperi more than two years to finance the film project and received many rejections from actors and producers, so Ugo Tognazzi and Nino Manfredi declined to work. Malizia was released in Italian cinemas in March 1973 and, despite the topic, which was still considered scandalous at the time, and the high age limit there, became a box-office success. After the film had already shown at the 1973 Berlinale, it was released in West German cinemas on November 9, 1973.
With the film Malizia 2mila , again cast with Laura Antonelli and Turi Ferro, Samperi shot a sequel in 1991. This film was a failure and remained Antonelli's last film.
Awards
Malizia was allowed to take part in the competition at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1973 . In 1974 Laura Antonelli received the Nastro d'Argento for Best Actress , Turi Ferro the same award for Best Supporting Actor .
Reviews
The Catholic film service was divided about Malizia : "A formally - especially in the camerawork - considerable film, which however restricts the conflicts of its characters one-sidedly to the area of sexual relations and gives them a vulgar color, especially in dialogue."
The blog L'amore in citta , which specializes in Italian film, saw Malizia as a film that combined topics that had long been regarded as filthy with artistic staging: "Ultimately, Samperi used the topic to play with social conventions to live out erotic fantasies about a beautiful woman, who acts cautiously but never submissively. A simple domestic servant would not have dared to do that back then. Malizia is a beautifully filmed, well-acted work, also staged in a harmonious way, but still completely committed to the uptight zeitgeist of the early 1970s in its male-dominated sexual orientation and fulfillment of corresponding expectations.
