Sky Arte airs documentary on Francesco Rosi

Five years after his death, Sky Arte pays tribute to Francesco Rosi, one of Italy's most talented filmmakers, with the documentary "Citizen Rosi" airing Friday, January 10. Directed by Didi Gnocchi and Carolina Rosi, the film premiered out of competition at the 76th Venice Film Festival. It traces Rosi's major works—including "Hands over the City," "The Mattei Affair," "Christ Stopped at Eboli," and "Three Brothers"—highlighting their civil and cinematic value. Rosi, who received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2012, pioneered investigative cinema. The documentary uses chronological clips to reconstruct half a century of Italian history. Commentary from Carolina Rosi, Roberto Saviano, Giuseppe Tornatore, and Gherardo Colombo underscores Rosi's historical and cinematic commitment.
