Twenty years after his death, the Milano Film Festival celebrates Truffaut’s enthusiasm for the art of cinema with a thorough research in his life. In 1948, sixteen years old, Truffaut founded a cine-club in Paris with a peculiar name, “Le cercle cinémane” – Sunday morning screenings at the Cluny-Palace Cinema in Boulevard Saint Germain. Found by the filmmaker in the Cinémateque Française, the films represented Truffaut’s first loves. 56 years have passed and the Milano Film Festival realises and completes Truffaut’s project, by screening Orson Welles’ masterpiece “The Magnificent Ambersons”.
