Join the BFI for a season curated by Adrian Wootton on Sophia Loren. In 1950, drawing on her Neapolitan roots, a teenage Sophia Loren entered the Italian film industry. In a few short years, she became an Oscar-winning actor, balancing a lightness of touch in comedy with the heft of more serious dramatic roles. This season draws on these cinematic worlds to highlight the versatility and magnetism of this singular star. Highlights of the season include El Cid, Two Women, The Gold of Naples and Heller in Pink Tights.
