The Teacher From Vigevano Limited Edition Blu ray

Tuotekuvaus:

From acclaimed Italian filmmaker Elio Petri comes The Teacher from Vigevano (1963), also known as Il maestro di Vigevano, a poignant and darkly humorous drama about ambition, disappointment and the unpredictable nature of everyday life.

Mr. Mombelli is a modest primary school teacher who is perfectly content with his quiet life and respectable profession.

His wife Ada, however, dreams of greater financial success and persuades him to abandon teaching in favour of starting his own business.

Determined to provide a better future for his family, Mombelli establishes a small footwear factory and dedicates himself wholeheartedly to making it a success.

But his hopes soon begin to crumble when an unexpected investigation by the tax authorities drives the business towards financial ruin.

Meanwhile, his marriage deteriorates as Ada becomes unfaithful, leaving Mombelli struggling with both professional failure and personal humiliation.

And worse is still to come, as an unforeseen tragedy threatens to change his life forever.

Directed by Elio Petri, The Teacher from Vigevano is a sharp and moving portrait of Italian society, middle-class aspirations and the personal cost of pursuing financial success.
