Italian film director Vittorio
Taviani died of cancer Sunday aged 88.
Taviani was one part, with his brother Paolo, of a
screenwriting and directing duo that made some of the classics
of modern Italian cinema including Padre Padrone (Father and
Master), a Cannes winner in 1977, La Notte di San Lorenzo (The
Night of Shooting Stars, 1982), and Cesare Deve Morire (Caesar
Must Die), the Rebibbia jail-shot Shakespeare adaptation that
won the Golden Lion in Berlin in 2012.
Paolo Taviani is 86.
