Milano nera 1961

Overview

Milano nera is a 1961 drama film directed by Gian Andrea Rocco and Pino Serpi. The plot follows a group of young thugs who decide to spend New Year on the streets of Milan. The production features a screenplay that was originally commissioned by producer Renzo Tresoldi and written by Pier Paolo Pasolini. This script was later heavily revised by the directors. The film includes a cast featuring Libero Cipriani, Giuseppe Fallica, Bruno Madrignano, and Adriano Fossati. Although the film was released in Italy on January 1, 1961, it reportedly circulated in theaters for only a few days in 1963. After many years, the work was rediscovered and is considered an example of post-war cinema. Information regarding the film is archived by The Movie Database, IMDb, and AllMovie. The project serves as a collaborative effort between its directors, who also served as producers, to depict the experiences of its central characters navigating the city during the holiday period.
