Dramma della gelosia (The Pizza Triangle/Drama of Jealousy). 1970. Directed by Ettore Scola.

Dramma della gelosia (The Pizza Triangle/Drama of Jealousy). 1970. Italy. Directed by Ettore Scola. Screenplay by Agenore Incrocci, Furio Scarpelli, Scola. With Marcello Mastroianni, Monica Vitti, Giancarlo Giannini. In Italian; English subtitles. 35mm. 105 min.

In his tragicomic satire of overwrought Italian melodramas and fatuous politics, scripted by the ingenious team of Age and Scarpelli, Scola proved himself a worthy heir to the commedia all’italiana of Federico Fellini, Mario Monicelli, Dino Risi, Vittorio De Sica, and Pietro Germi. Mastroianni gives one of his “least-known great performances” (Pauline Kael) as a buffoonish communist bricklayer who falls hard for the beautiful Vitti, an emotionally delicate flower seller. When she betrays him with his best friend, a pizza maker (Giannini), he goes mad with jealousy and righteous working-class indignation.

This film accompanies MoMA and Cinecittà Present: Marcello and Chiara Mastroianni, A Family Affair.
