May 28 – Martin Scorsese called him “the master of contemporary cinema”: his films, from “Salvatore Giuliano” to “Le Mani sulla città,” tell the story of Italy, exploring the dark side in politics and crime. In tribute to director Francesco Rosi, who died in January 2015, the Babylon cinema in Berlin, in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute, will screen ten of his best films from June 6-14. The retrospective will open on June 6 with the film “Salvatore Giuliano”, and the film will be introduced by historian Giovanni Spagnoletti and sociologist Nando Dalla Chiesa. The other screenings in program are “Le mani sulla città” (1962), “Il caso Mattei” (1972), “Lucky Luciano” (1973), “Cadaveri eccellenti” (1976), Cristo si è fermato a Eboli” (1979), “Carmen” (1984), and “Il cineasta e il labirinto” (2002).
