Special Day, A

About the movie

Set in an apartment building on the day Hitler visited Rome, Antonietta is a housewife who stays home when the rest of her family attends the day-long rally, and Gabriele is her neighbor, apparently the only other person in the building who hasn't gone to watch the parades.
Ettore Scola’s classic excursion into everyday life during Italy’s Fascist regime has been praised as wonder of humanism and compassion. The film was Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Film as well as Best Actor and won a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film. It features Academy Award winner Sophia Loren in its lead, supported by Marcello Mastroianni as Gabriele.
