description
In the extraordinary music that Piccioni composed for Bolognini's masterpiece, Antonio, the tormented protagonist of the story, and his intimate burning drama are accompanied by the splendid soundtrack in a union that is highly evocative, colouring the splendid black and white in perfect 1960s style.
Piccioni's music cuts to the heart of Sicilian life of the post-war period, conveying the mood of its very distinctive customs, and the angst and desperation of the characters in the story, touched by such intimate tragedies.
There is no folk music in this soundtrack; just Piccioni's extraordinary, original score, which adheres so incredibly to the various scenes, situations, moods and emotions, that by listening to the music, you almost feel as if you are flipping through the pages of the book that the screenplay was based on.
 
story

Directed by the comparatively unknown Mauro Bolognini, the Italian Bell'Antonio is distinguished by its screenplay, cowritten by directorial giant Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Marcello Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale are happily married until she finds out he's impotent.
It takes her a year to find this out, which ought to give an indication of how seriously we're supposed to take this film.
Also risible is the fact that Mastrioanni bears the reputation of a fabulous lover, as do practically all the members of his family.
Nonetheless, he stands by like a dummy when Cardinale's father forces her to annul the marriage and wed another.
It's all nonsense, of course, but Pasolini and his collaborators weave their tale so persuasively that one forgives the film's utter lack of credibility.

Pierre Brasseur, Claudia Cardinale, Marcello Mastroianni, Tomas Milian, Rina Morelli
