Sky Arte airs documentary portrait of Ugo Tognazzi on 30th anniversary of his death

On October 27, 2020, the 30th anniversary of Ugo Tognazzi's death, Sky Arte broadcast the documentary "Ritratto di Mio Padre" directed by his daughter Maria Sole Tognazzi. The film explores the multifaceted personality of the renowned Italian actor, known for his provocative, carefree, and courageous nature, his love of conviviality and family, and his quest for redemption from wartime deprivations. It highlights his comedic peaks and serious roles, such as Primo Spaggiari in Bernardo Bertolucci's "La tragedia di un uomo ridicolo," which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1981. The documentary alternates archival footage from Italian and foreign television with clips from films Tognazzi acted in or directed, as well as exclusive family photos and videos released for the first time. The original soundtrack is by Sergio Cammariere, and the end credits feature an unreleased song written by Gianmarco Tognazzi for his father, performed live.
