Il sorpasso Blu-ray

Jean-Louis Trintignant (The Conformist) plays Roberto, a shy law student who meets Bruno (Gassman), a larger-than-life Roman playboy who convinces Roberto to join him on a road trip from Rome to the Tuscan countryside. Their travels teach them about each other and themselves, oscillating between comedy and tragedy with powerful and affecting commentary on the easy life. Long admired in Italy, il sorpasso has influenced comedic filmmakers including Alexander Payne (Sideways) and Aziz Ansari (Master of None).BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES2016 4K restoration carried out by L'Immagine Ritrovata at the Cineteca di BolognaOriginal uncompressed Italian mono PCM audioAppreciation of the film by Italian cinema expert Richard DyerArchival interview with Dino Risi by critic Jean Gili (1999)Jean-Louis Trintignant on Il Sorpasso - an introduction by the actor for a French TV broadcast of the film (1983)L’estate di Bruno Cortona - Castiglioncello nell’anno del Sorpasso (Gloria De Antoni, 2012) - an extrac
