zu den Ticketszu dem KalenderTuscany in 1885. As his farm isn’t bringing in what it should, farmer Stefano (Pietro Germi) sends his son Amerigo (Jean-Paul Belmondo) to Florence to work in his uncle’s wine store. There he is merely exploited as cheap labor and tricked out of his wages. When Amerigo falls in love with prostitute Bianca (Claudia Cardinale) and steals money from the cash register, the family severs all ties with him. Claudia Cardinale’s first collaboration with Jean-Paul Belmondo and one of her “absolute favorite films”, LA VIACCIA mixes together a milieu study and social drama with an amour fou. (hjf)
