Wissenswertes
Real-life brothers Marcello Mastroianni and Ruggero Mastroianni play, respectively, the historical figures of Scipio Africanus and Scipio Asiaticus, who were also brothers. While Marcello is one of the most famous actors in the history of Italian cinema, this movie is the only acting credit of his younger brother Ruggero. Ruggero was, however, a prolific and respected movie editor, who worked with directors like Federico Fellini and Mario Monicelli.

A political film full of grace and irony

Such a courageous film, so full of history and culture but filtered through the irony of the centuries. The eternal ugly side of politics reflects itself on the mirror of the past, with the bitterness of Scipio, the cynicism of his brother Lucio, the moral (and physical) beauty of his wife Emilia (Silvana Mangano), the stern but utilitarian morality of Cato, the indifference of the Gods, while the roman ruins of the scenery, and the modern language (roman dialect in the original) of the characters (splendid all the actors),demonstrate that past is present. Forty years old, this movie keeps being a perfect metaphor not only of the actual Italian situation but of the human factors, tragedy and comedy together. For refined palates.
