He directed his first film, Let's Talk About Women, in 1964. In 1974 Scola enjoyed international success with We All Loved Each Other So Much (C'eravamo tanto amati), a wide fresco of post-World War II Italian life and politics, dedicated to fellow director Vittorio De Sica.

He directed close to 40 films in some 40 years. His film Passione d'amore, adapted from a 19th-century novel, was adapted by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine into the award-winning musical Passion. He was a member of the jury at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival. Scola died in Rome on 19 January 2016 at the age of 84.

RomAmor: Alberto Sordi, from Rome to the whole world
Overview: If Rome is the capital of the world, then Alberto Sordi is his true son. He absorbed all the vices and valor of his homeland. His whole life was connected with his beloved city. He owed his first success to another great Roman - Fellini, and Italian became the only obstacle in his international career. On stage, Alberto Sordi might have seemed uncontrollable and rude, but could have been charming and slightly ridiculous. He played scammers and victims, sweet losers and unsurpassed drunkards with the manners of great comedians. But, even jokingly, he always remained serious.

Marcello, una vita dolce
Overview: After shooting to fame with Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita” (1960), actor Marcello Mastroianni (1924-1996) starred in more than 160 films in his nearly half-a-century career. Directors Mario Canale and Annarosa Morri look into the melancholic charm of one of the most famous Italian actors through interviews with his two daughters, Barbara and Chiara; directors Fellini and Luchino Visconti; actresses Claudia Cardinale and Anouk Aimee; and in archival footage of Mastroianni himself. The subject matter ranges from Mastroianni’s passion for kidney-bean pasta and his addiction to the telephone to his famous laziness, humility and talent. Shown in black-and-white, Mastroianni — elegantly holding a cigarette in between his fingers — is undeniably the dandy.
