Risi, Dino
▪ 2009

      Italian filmmaker

born Dec. 23, 1916, Milan, Italy

died June 7, 2008, Rome, Italy
wrote and/or directed more than 80 films, documentaries, and television shows throughout his nearly six-decade-long (1946–2002) career. Risi helped to establish the satiric commedia all'italiana style, which portrayed the problems facing Italian society following the country's overwhelming economic growth during the 1960s. Risi worked as assistant director under Alberto Lattuada and Mario Soldati before launching his own directing career with the film Vacanze col gangster (1951). Risi's most famous work, Il sorpasso (1962), served as a commentary on Italy at the time, its newfound wealth, and the repercussions of a life of spontaneity and ease. Profumo di donna (1974) received two Academy Award nominations, including one for the adapted screenplay that Risi co-wrote, and was remade in English as Scent of a Woman (1992). Risi's other movies include Poveri ma belli (1957), Una vita difficile (1961), and I mostri (1963). He was given a Golden Lion lifetime achievement award at the Venice Film Festival in 2002.
