Belgian filmmaker Chris Vermorcken has fashioned this feature-length documentary on the life and work of the now legendary Italian actress Anna Magnani. A fascinating portrait of Magnani, who died in 1973, unfolds in film clips and extensive excerpts from an interview with the actress. But she is equally revealed in the comments of those who knew and worked with her, among them, Roberto Rossellini, Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti, Claude Autant-Lara, Marco Bellochio, Franco Zeffirelli, Marcello Mastroianni, Laura Betti, and the playwright and director Eduardo De Filippo.
